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.

Big, and noisy, and there's lots of people, and too much happening at one time.

[foodbin]

I mean... If you don't like it, the village is probably a lot quieter.

[compendiem]

Yeah, I'll go home soon. But if I never go out and experience the world, that'd be a waste too, right?

[foodbin]

I think the whole idea behind exploring the world is to enjoy it.

[As such:]

There are probably places here that are less crowded... You want to look around?

[compendiem]

Is it?

[ Rather than exploring the world just to see what's out there... Minato's definitely hung around more shady alleyways and nightclubs and train stations just to look around and see what's there, all without really enjoying the noise and graffiti and litter everywhere. This place is sort of like that, except there's so much color, and it's hard on the eyes. ]

What sort of places do you recommend?

[foodbin]

If you're looking for somewhere quieter and more secluded...

[Hm.]

I think I saw a blimp earlier?

[compendiem]

Oh. The airship. Do you think they'll let me drive it?

[foodbin]

I won't, even if they do, so no.

[compendiem]

[ ): ]

I'll let you co-pilot...

[foodbin]

I also don't know how to fly a blimp, so that's a pass.

[compendiem]

I've sort of driven a train before. It should be similar, right?

[foodbin]

No, Minato.

[compendiem]

Can I at least stand in the cockpit and watch...

[foodbin]

If they let you, and if you understand that I will knock you out if you make one move for the controls.

[compendiem]

It's a deal.

[foodbin]

Okay. You ready, or did you want to look around here more?

[compendiem]

I'm ready. I don't think you'd trust me to leave by myself, anyways.

[ He would go straight for the blimp either way ]

[foodbin]

...Yeah, that's a fair assessment.

[off they gooooo.]

[compendiem]

[ Of they gooooooooooo

The sheep stops them at the blimp. It's refusing to let Minato board, but Emma's free to, though. ]

[foodbin]

[After a few moments:]

Do you have any idea why the sheep doesn't like you?

[compendiem]

[ He's. pretty sure he knows why, yeah. But he doesn't want to say it, so Emma's just going to have to infer from his silence and the way he pointedly looks away. ]

[foodbin]

...What did you do.

[compendiem]

...Can I exercise my right to remain silent?

[foodbin]

No.

[compendiem]

.............playing with fireworks in a blimp is dangerous.
