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.

[compendiem]

[ YEAH, SORRY ]

[papawolf]

[ how sad is minato going to be if he tries to grab it and yeet it? ]

[compendiem]

[ He's going to be momentarily sad but he will then hobble off on his broken foot and get it back ): ]

[papawolf]

[ ... ... ... okay just put it away again.

Picking up paper... looking through it. hmm ]

Why?

[compendiem]

[ Minato shrugs ]

It's a gift, and I don't know what it does. But I'd feel bad throwing it away.

[ He likes keeping trash around, okay ]

[papawolf]

[ that explains his clown attachment.

writing on paper. ]

Keep it in your house.

[compendiem]

[ wow hisoka and axel are his best friends okay ]

Oh... Yeah, I guess I can do that. Hisoka likes to play with it, so that's why I kept it with me.

[ Hisoka being the cat. And maybe why it's screaming. ]

[papawolf]

[ ...


... ]

The cat looks like it wants to destroy it

[compendiem]

Yeah. Cats are hunters. That's how they play.

[papawolf]

[ minato

tapping his own ears. pointing to cat. ]

Hurts ears

[compendiem]

I won't throw it at its head...

[papawolf]

[ Shaking his head. why are you like this minato. though might help if he wrote full thoughts. ]

The noise

[compendiem]

[ Yeah, full thoughts would really help connect the dots, and Minato stoops to pick up the cat. ]

Can you hold Hisoka for me? I'll be right back.

[papawolf]

[ ... okay. He'll take the cat. ]

[compendiem]

[ Minato will return in like... half an hour...

Hope Feral likes cats, because this one is bitey and scratchy ]

[papawolf]

[ why is this a thing.

but okay he'll just... give it it's own space. or maybe he'll come back to the cat trying to catch his tail.

is it named hisoka cause it likes scratching ]

[compendiem]

[ Feral could have said no but he didn't.

Minato comes back eventually to save Feral from getting his tail mauled— the cat goes back to attacking Minato's ankles instead the moment he's back within range. ]

I'm back. Were you guys getting along?

[papawolf]

[ He can't say no to kids.

Making a face and then pointing at his abused tail. No??? ]

[compendiem]

[ At least learn to say no to Minato

bc he doesn't know what the tail means, looks around behind Feral and then back, a bit confused ]

[papawolf]

[ some day

some day isn't today. just face in hands before he pulls out the cue card ]

Why is the cat so angry

[compendiem]

[ He'll... take it as a no, they were not getting along. ]

Dunno... Sometimes, cats take a while to get used to somebody, before they're friends. That's how it is with people too, isn't it? We're all just trying to figure each other out.

[papawolf]

[ it's biting your ankles minato. ]

are you friends?

[compendiem]

Yeah.

[ It's biting his ankles. ]

[papawolf]

[ this is why minato needs better friends. ]

maybe feed him meat?

[ bribe him ]

[compendiem]

[ That's... true, yeah. Minato has bad taste in friends. ]

That's a good idea. I could take him to the koi pond, or the farm.
