week four: mingle

[cyclists]

Week Four
22 in Competition

As the sun rises on Monday morning, all participants will find themselves awakening with a sense of purpose. Regardless of where they slept the night before, they’ll find themselves compelled to return to the main meeting hall first thing in the morning.

Approaching the hall, however, they will find a large, swirling mass grey in color looming near the sakura tree. This swirl cannot be approached just yet, but seems to be locked and waiting for something more.

As the last member of the village enters the hall, they will find Lune and Sol at the head of the room. Though they’re together, it’s Sol who speaks up first this time.

"We've been asked to open another gateway for you guys, but...it's funny. It sort of feels like things have calmed down. The corruption's temporarily evened out and the universe is stabilized for now, but that doesn't mean we should stop looking. Take a look and see what you can find on the other side. You might even get to learn something new."

When Sol finishes, they turn to face Lune, allowing for the other to speak for themselves.

"A bit of reprieve of welcome, isn't it? Please take this time to recover, even as you make steps forward to continue your good work. Thank you, thank you."

The moment participants leave the hall, they will find that the gateway has changed from grey to white, the opening widening enough for multiple people to step through. The Signs will soon take their leave, and all will remain peaceful once more.

In addition, as the week goes on, partners will be able to hear each other's thoughts whenever they look at one another! They may not hear every single thought that occurs, but the link will partners to hear thoughts as though their partner is speaking out loud. The more private the thought, the more likely the partner will pick up on it.



Welcome to your week three mingle! As a reminder, this is break week! This means no murders and no trial! Your normal schedule will resume next week. We will still be hosting a laid-back mini-event on Tuesday, however.

In addition, ensure that all of your week three private conversations were reported on the page, and your week four private conversations are reported on that page. If you'll be taking anything from locations, please report that as well.

Hey, I'm just sharing what I know. The stories are the ones that are discriminating...

[ but fine, Lea steps out and cautiously approaches a unicorn. i am letting ara decide if he is a pure maiden because the rules of harry potter don't matter to me ]

[forefall]

Should we always believe the stories we hear?

[ is lea a pure maiden if his bf and gf are spreading 50 Shades around the village?

Well, Four may gently encourage the unicorns to give the illusion that he is. A baby unicorn requires less nudging, so here's one coming up to him. ]

[leaberator]

When it comes to magical creatures, maybe. [ but he goes a little !!! at the baby unicorn, crouching a little and offering his hand to see if he can pet it. horse... ] Or maybe not. Wouldja look at that?

[forefall]

[ Four hides a smile behind a hand.

The unicorn foal allows pets. In fact, it looks happy for pets. ]

Would you look at that? Should I call you a pure maiden?

[ It sounds like a serious question, but she's probably joking. ]

[leaberator]

[ well, since she's joking and he is petting a unicorn ]

Oh yeah. That's me. The purest maiden in all the lands. Call me Princess Lea exclusively from now on.

[ no. ]

[forefall]

[ She opens her mouth to say how ridiculous that is, but you know what?

They're surrounded by unicorns, so why not? With as much solemn gravity as she can manage (it's a lot): ]

Princess Lea.

[ Four gives him a proper curtsy. ]

[leaberator]

[ he is trying VERY hard to not laugh so loud he scares all the horses, but he does give a dramatic, flourished bow ]

Fair maiden Four.

[ this is stupid. ]

[forefall]

[



She tries valiantly to keep her composure for the longest time, but she cracks. She presses her face against a unicorn's mane. ]

I can't uphold this. It's too ridiculous.

[leaberator]

[ he makes a faux shocked face ]

Whaaaaat? Nah, this is the most serious thing that's ever happened in this place.

[ he pets the baby unicorn for emphasis ]

[forefall]

Will you tell everyone you became a princess on this day? By a unicorn's decree.

[leaberator]

Absolutely not. This is between us and the unicorns. I'm secret royalty.

[forefall]

[ She looks around the unicorn she's petting to give him a Look. ]

I think you'd just be embarrassed to be called princess by anyone else.

[leaberator]

[ ... ]

Xion's allowed.

[ and NO ONE ELSE ]

[forefall]

Only Xion?

[ That's cute. ]

I'll tell her.

[leaberator]

[ he's gonna regret that but he Pretends Like He Doesn't ]

Yeah? You talk to her a lot?

[forefall]

[ Lie in the bed you make, Lea. ]

I wouldn't say a lot, but I think she's nice.

[ Does that thread with the Minato and Xion happen before or after this? Time is fake. ]

I hope this week treats her better.

[leaberator]

... Yeah. Me too.

[ he says it with a sigh, but he's smiling ]

It's starting off okay so far, at least.

[forefall]

If I run into her, I'll try to help it end okay, too.

[ Minato fiasco aside. ]
