week four: mingle

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.

I've been making a lot of observations while I'm here.

We're a really small sample size though, it can't be completely accurate. There's 7 billion-odd of us on Earth.

S-seven -- there can't actually be that many. Don't lie to me.

At the last census, that was the number they got. It's an estimate, there's no way they can get every single person so it was probably higher. They estimated it'd be closer to 8 billion by the time 2020 rolls around.

Impossible... How do you all fit? Do you live underwater or something?

No... the earth is pretty big, we live on land. But overpopulation is [ was? ] becoming an issue.

... I can't imagine that at all. There are only 17 gems.

17?

[ Oh. Wow. Suddenly so much is explained. ]

... mm, well. Things changed a lot where I’m from so I wonder if thar number isn’t so different — at least for my city, I don’t know about the world. But in other places, I suspect there’ll rarely be that few people.
