week five: mingle

[cyclists]

Week Five
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.

a. i'm on a blimp motherfucker

[ 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. ]

b. (persona protag voice) fursona

[ or you can just see her wandering around in this.

yeah. ]

c. wildcard

[ or surprise me, like tsuru would want, ]

b

[compendiem]

[ closes my eyes

Minato has no idea what to make of this... thing... but he stops in front of it, pauses for a second, and then gives the creature a short bow of the head. ]

Hello... Are you the mascot here?

[whitewalls]

[ oh it's minato

she shrugs?? ]

[compendiem]

[ Oh... Well, it's not a straight out yes, which would have been terrifying, so Minato relaxes a little bit. A carnival worker, then. They don't usually talk, as not to break character, so Minato continues with the simple yes-no questions. ]

Maybe you can show me around the place. Like, what your favorite things are?

b

[televised]

[...

britt voice: closes eyes]

That's horrifying.

[whitewalls]

[ horrifying??

she glances behind her, as if checking to see if something scary is around. ]

[televised]

[NAMINE..............]

I'm talking about the costume.

b

[leaberator]

[ uhhhhhh

he's just. staring, as if trying to figure out who it is. or if this is just goofy's cousin, somehow. ]

[whitewalls]

[ well

he's going to hear a muffled voice, like someone calling his name. ]

[leaberator]

[ oh god. it knows him.

wait.

upon further observation, this is clearly a costume.

..................... approximate height + not as enthusiastic + axel.... ]

Naminé?

[ ????????? ]

b

[nonbelligerent]

[well then.]

Having fun?

[whitewalls]

[ a lot of nodding!!

she thinks this is cute. ]

[nonbelligerent]

Do you like [what is that] dogs?

a

[forefall]

[ Robot sheep are new to Four, but she, too, can be polite. She glances at Naminé when the blimp rises. ]

Are you worried it'll fly away and hit something?

[whitewalls]

Or that it'll crash... the sheep might blame us.

[ or they might die but that's life ]

a

[foodbin]

[As she notices that concerned look on her face:]

You okay...?

[whitewalls]

I wasn't expecting us to move.

[ she thought it was just a stationery blimp it's fine ]

a

[twinsightful]

[I refuse to deal with Naminé's fursona, so Kaoru is also on the blimp at some point and seems to be staring down below.]

So I suppose this means you aren't afraid of heights then. [Hi.]

[whitewalls]

[ coward :/

but she looks over at him. ]

Unless I suddenly develop a fear now.

a

[autocatalysis]

[ i'm also not dealing with fursonas so ig he's also on the blimp like almost everyone else here

and when she makes the expression she does he just glances over in vague concern. ]

Do you want to get back off?

[whitewalls]

No, it's fine. I was just... startled.

[ she smiles to show him that she's fine?? see it's okay. ]

B

[liversandhyenas]

[...okay, how's she supposed to interpret this]

...do I even want to know what this is supposed to be?

[whitewalls]

[ good question

but grim eyes is getting a happy wave ]

b

[stillstands]

[ what is she looking at right now ]

[whitewalls]

[ she waves ]
