week five: mingle
Week Five
22 in Competition
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 Lune who speaks up first this time.
"Good morning, good morning. You've done well to purge the corruption in the previous gateway - allow us to assist with the finishing touches. For the time being, it would appear as though we've been able to locate another. I would not grow complacent, but I also wonder if you all might enjoy the surprise."
When Lune finishes, Sol chimes in from their place at Lune's side.
"Maybe we can have another week like the last. It'd be nice, wouldn't it? Good luck out there."
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 begin to see odd mirages and hear voices calling for them. Even though they might not realize it, these phantoms that will be haunting them will be their partner's most important person, calling for them to come home. Partners will only be able to see each other's illusions if they make physical contact.

Welcome to your week five mingle! As a reminder, murder proposals are open. We will also be having another CYOA this week! Sign ups are here and will close on Tuesday at 8 AM PST.
In addition, ensure that all of your week four private conversations were reported on the page. If you'll be taking anything from locations, please report that as well.

[ Minato smells like soap. This is a very important distinction I need to make, along with the fact that his wounds are properly redressed, he's wearing a clean white dress shirt with black pants, cat ears on his head and bracelet on his left wrist, and he had slept in his bed for the past two whole nights.
Why?
Three guesses why, and the first two don't count.
No matter where he is or what he's doing, a faint, high-pitched whistle follows him everywhere he goes and doesn't shut up. Most of the time, there's a cat at his heels as well, also screaming. Minato never stops to pick it up or pet it. They're getting along fine.
But also, any time he spots Kara in the distance, Minato turns around and walks the other way. ]
ii. portal
[ IT'S A CIRCUS...... fuck, he misses Hisoka.
It's bright and noisy and Minato wishes earmuffs wouldn't be a literal pain, but he ducks around the crowd looking around. He's not too interested in the costumes, lingers a bit longer than he should in front of the fireworks, and passes by the food without a second glance.
For the majority of the day (aka Monday bc heck if I ever know what happens on Tuesdays), Minato remains in the blimp, seated on the ground of the observation deck and leaning against the glass windows without a care whether it breaks on him or not, it's a nice view, and all the people are left down there. ]
wc.
[ Minato's gone back to wandering, so he can be found anywhere!! Not really doing anything important, just strolling around with his screaming cat. ]
i
Four, on the hand, looks a little worse than usual, like she's received even less sleep. She does a double take when she passes Minato. As if she doesn't believe what she just saw. ]
Am I dreaming?
[ His appearance is more alarming than the cat screaming behind him. And whatever that whistle is. ]

[ naminé is a polite girl so the sheep lets her onto the blimp. but she wanders around the observation deck, and when the blimp starts moving up there's a moment where she looks vaguely concerned as she wonders if this is going to crash and blow up, which would be fair.
when it doesn't, though, she'll just enjoy the view. ]

and then immediately turns around to walk back out, covered in confetti and glitter. Might want to step out of the way if you happen to be standing right behind the nyoomba? It's fine. This is fine.]

[Though she wanders through the tents that contain clothing, jewelry, and even the one with fireworks... It's the food one she lingers in longest, though it's more to look at the size of some of the confections more than anything else. As she looks at one particularly large funnel cake:]
That... is bigger than my head. [A small laugh, and then, to anyone who might be nearby:] You want to give it a shot?
gateway, parade
[As the parade passes through the town, Emma has found a place to sit comfortably and watch them pass by. There's a small smile on her face as she looks at everyone pass by, and should she see anyone approach, she pats the spot next to her, beckoning them to sit.]
Did you have stuff like this where you're from?

[ there's not a lot to this, she just. sure did get a lot of confetti to the face, and is trying very hard to brush all the confetti out of her hair.
she's not very successful so far. ]
ii. gateway - tents
[ CIRCUS. She's never actually been to a circus before, and now she's trying to explore as many of the tents as she can, seeing what's available. She absolutely finds a big slice of cake in the sweets tent and eats that with little shame -- but the really unique tent is just... the ones with all the hats. Wow.
She examines the lot of them before selecting a unique looking one and trying it on. ]
What do you think?
iii. gateway - blimp
[ Miki's polite, so she's allowed on the blimp without being flung off the edge by her new robosheep friend. As much as she kinda wants to explore the whole blimp, the view from the observation deck is beautiful enough that she's happy to stay where she is -- leaning maybe a tiny bit too far for comfort over the edge to get a clear view of the ground below. ]

[First of all, this is probably the best gateway because there's confetti and glitter and Kaoru is living. He's not even bothering to shake it from his hair and he's immediately bouncing his way through the gateway to check out what lays before him. That's why anyone who's nearby the tents will find him darting in and out of a few, looking over the wares and picking out a few outfits for himself. If anyone thought this wouldn't be a prompt, I can't help you. Anyway, you'll probably run into him wearing this as he wanders through.
At some point, he'll also be collecting a small arsenal of rockets. If you're a friend, he'll turn and grin quite cheerfully with his armful of explosives.]
Where do you think would be the best place to set these off?
[And if you're not a friend, he'll probably pop a party popper in your face. Enjoy your confetti shower!
Alternatively…find him looking over the food, a hand to his chin as he hems and haws over his choices.]
What would you recommend?
ii. gateway - big top
[He's eyeing the rings of fire curiously but otherwise seems to walk his way around the circus. It's exciting, sure, but it seems like the show isn't going to start anytime soon. However, he's also eyeing that cannon.]
Do you think this thing really works? [And would you like to find out?
At some point, you can also probably find him trying to jump up onto one of the floats to ferry himself around. So that's happening.]
iii. wildcard
[He's going to spend a lot of time here because it's festive and it's fun and he'll be more than happy to find masks and costumes for anyone. He'll sample food and he'll try to light the rings on fire himself.
He can also be found in the village this week in the garden tending to the koi fish and picking flowers, or at the boutique working on something or other.]

[good morning. koto coming through.
... or rather, that's exactly what it looks like? the koto is about four feet tall, which means that it covers most of lili as she tries to walk through with it before finally finding guiding it to a stand that she'd placed in the garden, a little more off to the side. you can help her as she tries to bring it in, if you'd like -
alternatively, she will be plucking at it, testing the sound initially before she starts to play more confidently. she seems to be relearning all the strings, but it's still a rather beautiful noise. she's so focused on what she's doing that she probably won't even notice if someone sits through her working her way through a song or two from memory - with a few stops and starts.
she mumbles a little petulantly - ]
... it's harder than I remember... This is what I get for not practicing.
ii. this is slightly related to the location
[it's literally any day of the week and lili is trying to get glitter out of her hair. so when you exit the portal from your carnival adventure, she'll be sitting in the main hall, trying to brush out her very, very long hair and frowning in dismay as more sparkles fall from it. fuck this, man.
when she looks up at you, she beckons you closer
and will start to pluck off confetti from your person]
Missed a spot. It looked stupid.

BAA! [1/5]
[Sometime during Tuesday evening, there will be the very, very annoying noise of a bunch of mechanical baas! When you look outside, you'll see a whole herd of finely dressed sheep meandering their way through the village - though it looks like they've brought people along with them? Atop their cute fuzzy selves, they're carrying a group of four. One of the sheep is also carrying a wagon behind it, and there's a pony...?
Wow, where did these chumps come from?]

The first thing she got was a faceful of confetti and glitter. She held back the temptation to bite the nearest person because of the unwelcome rain of glitter, she just starts trying to shake it off. She looks incredibly unpleased]
...this is gonna stick on me forrreverrr...when I find who set this up...
[There will be a murrrrderrrrr.
Blimp
Naturally, she's exploring that place. Whenever someone approaches she calls to them, still picking bits of confetti off herself]
You seen new people around here?
[She has only caught glimpses, but she doesn't recognize the person nor the voice. It's the effect of the mirage about her partner's most important person, even if she hasn't realized that yet]
FRIDAY; A THING
Pure white hair appears bright against the darkness, movements quick and darting among the trees lining a pathway. The lights from a series of lanterns extinguish bit by bit as footsteps echo off of the dirt. The footsteps are frantic, and an animalistic growl resounds as something snaps and a large bell rings out, slamming into the ground.
The bell's drowned out by the sound of the ocean, water rushing from below as a young woman with dark hair struggles to stay afloat. Another pair of arms propel forward to reach her, both unaware of the dark shadow behind them. A glint of teeth is barely seen as a splatter of blood sprays over the rolling waves.
All seems quiet for a moment, the bodies disappearing below the surface of the water and the darkness taking hold of the village once more. Silence lingers…but something bright flashes in the distance, and a loud fiery explosion is heard rather than seen, the dull thud of limbs landing on the ground below as the silence returns once more.
Abruptly, everyone awakens. Though the darkness continues to loom, they are all compelled to make their way to the main meeting hall. Inside, the lanterns are lit with enough of a glow to see a scroll unfurled and draped over four glass boxes. Though the bodies may not be recognizable in the light, the scroll provides an answer.
Shirasu Kinjou, Lili An, Miki Naoki and Minato Arisato are dead.
Welcome to your fifth death announcement! As per game schedule, there will be no investigation for clues at this time and even if characters go to explore on their own, it seems that everything has been reverted to perfect condition.
As sunset on Friday approaches, the light will return to the village. With the vague outline of the sun high in the sky, this light will shine brightly for a full twenty-four hours.
Try to sleep through it while you can. Tomorrow's a big day, after all.
