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.

[ and he'll take her hand very properly! let us walk. though he does respond, on the way: ]

Really? [ well, traditionally, the archetypes and genders, sure, but... ] It seems like it'd be terribly lonely. In most stories, the princess just... waits to be saved.

[ nobody say anything. he just gives her a faint, mild- and slightly sharp- smile. ]

You don't strike me as the type, somehow.

[ Her hand twitches at that. "You don't strike me as the type." Look, he probably means she's not the type to wait around, but all she can think is:

... Right. She's not the type to be saved. ]


I just like the part about being spoiled and pampered.

[ he does feel that hand twitch and glances over in faint concern, but in lieu of knowing what he did or said wrong just squeezes back a little, in hopes of conveying reassurance.

did he say something...? if anything, he'd meant to it be a compliment- that she isn't complacent, or passive. ]


I suppose I'll have remember that: lots of gifts, for a lady who works quite hard.

[ It could be the hand squeeze that cheers her right back up, or it could be the prospect of being spoiled with gifts.

... Or it could just be someone telling her they know she's working hard. ]


Then what about you? We know what I like. What do you like?

What do I like...? [ and if he doesn't sound unsure about the question, then whew. ]

I think I'd just really be happy enough to live a peaceful and quiet life. Nothing looming over us, the threat of the world- or worlds- ending, no one expecting things of us.

[ freedom from responsibilities, maybe. ]

That sounds nice.

A world where nothing goes wrong and nothing is out of place.

[ Nothing unreasonable about that, if you ask her. ]

[ that actually does pull a real smile out of him, albeit a wan one. ]

... Exactly. Where you don't have to worry about whether or not something worldshattering might or might not happen tomorrow.

Everything is fine, and everyone's taken care of.

Dreams like that are achievable, you know? You just have to work hard for them, and then you can relax as much as you want.
