week six: mingle

Week Six
16 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.

"Morning. You've done well purging the corruption in the previous gateway, and we'll be doing the finishing touches ourselves. Thank you for your help. In the meantime, we've got another one for you to explore. It's... kind of huge, so stick together when you can."

When Sol finishes, Lune picks up where they left off.

"Hm... There also appears to be something of a change on the horizon. If you are no longer obligated to those you have been attached to - will you stay by their sides?"

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, everyone will find themselves capable of seeing one another's memories at the simplest form of contact. For those who are closer to one another, they may see a memory the moment they make eye contact, while those who are less familiar may require a slight touch. The memories will feel as though the viewer is experiencing the event themselves.

While it may not be made immediately obvious - there is no partner effect for the week. The houses of the departed partners may disappear, but there is otherwise no bond attaching pairs.



Welcome to your week six mingle! As a reminder, murder proposals are open. We will also have a mini-event this week on Tuesday at 12pm PST.

In addition, ensure that all of your week five private conversations were reported on the page. If you'll be taking anything from locations, please report that as well.

I see. My clan has always been close to the dragon clan, so they don't have much novelty for me... Though I generally don't ask them for transport, since I can normally run as fast as they can fly.

what]


How fast do you run, Shess?
nonbelligerent: (lies for you. 1-3)

[personal profile] nonbelligerent 2019-07-17 01:30 am (UTC)(link)
It's easier in sura form, but in this form, I can still run... about the circumference of the planet in one night?
tothemaxwell: (rigged up)

[personal profile] tothemaxwell 2019-07-17 02:00 am (UTC)(link)
[!!!]

In that case, I would love to witness your true Sura form!

What incredible power!
nonbelligerent: (the night it rained fire. 19-3)

[personal profile] nonbelligerent 2019-07-17 02:06 am (UTC)(link)
Unfortunately, that won't be happening here.
tothemaxwell: (i'm on a mission tonight)

[personal profile] tothemaxwell 2019-07-17 03:18 am (UTC)(link)
Ah... of course. But what a shame.

[...]

What if I supported you from air, with an aerial assault?
nonbelligerent: (lies for you. 12-3)

[personal profile] nonbelligerent 2019-07-17 11:45 am (UTC)(link)
You really want to ride one, don't you? That's fine with me, as long as you don't hit me by accident.
tothemaxwell: (rigged up)

[personal profile] tothemaxwell 2019-07-17 12:43 pm (UTC)(link)
Hit you? Of course not!

[she's pumped.]

I already have one in mind. Will you be riding as well, Shess?
nonbelligerent: (your seven years. 5-4)

[personal profile] nonbelligerent 2019-07-17 12:52 pm (UTC)(link)
I think I'll stay on the ground. I don't know if they can even hear me, after all.
tothemaxwell: (she's an atom bomb)

[personal profile] tothemaxwell 2019-07-18 12:05 pm (UTC)(link)
Then I will support you from the air! Together, we will be an unstoppable team of perfect guard.
nonbelligerent: (lies for you. 12-3)

[personal profile] nonbelligerent 2019-07-18 12:09 pm (UTC)(link)
[he smiles.]

Let's go, then. It seems those machines are the target.
tothemaxwell: (that blonde)

[personal profile] tothemaxwell 2019-07-18 01:06 pm (UTC)(link)
Yes!

[she's been waiting for this.]

Stormfly! Let us ride!

[and holy shit a bigass dragon is showing up now, all squaks and spikes and whatnot.]
nonbelligerent: (the night it rained fire. 20-2)

[personal profile] nonbelligerent 2019-07-18 01:10 pm (UTC)(link)
Just be careful.

[but, you know, have fun with your new dragon friend, milla.

and with that, sword in hand, he goes to head into the fray. time to head to the nearest machine/take out any vikings in the way!]
tothemaxwell: (she's an atom bomb)

[personal profile] tothemaxwell 2019-07-18 01:19 pm (UTC)(link)
Am I not always?

[Sliding into the saddle, she nods to the dragon—and they take off, spiralling lazily over the combat, weaving easily in and out of any projectiles that attempt to come their way. It's clear there's more dragon in control so far than Milla, but she's clearly getting the hang of this—there's a barrage of spikes that take out some vikings priming to sneak up in Shess' blind spot.]
nonbelligerent: (the return. 4-1)

[personal profile] nonbelligerent 2019-07-18 01:27 pm (UTC)(link)
[he holds up a hand in thanks, before moving forward to cut down a viking. (shess is a pacifist, but you probably wouldn't be able to tell when he fights...)

although he's reduced to more normal levels here, shess is still nothing if not fast, so he's quickly moving ahead—focusing more on weaving through vikings if he can, rather than engaging in a fight. he'll leave the rear to milla.]
tothemaxwell: (that blonde)

[personal profile] tothemaxwell 2019-07-19 12:13 pm (UTC)(link)
[milla stans one speedyboi sura

Shess' tactic is becoming crystal clear—and she's happy to follow along. While he may be engaging with anyone he ultimately cannot avoid, anyone who so much as seems to consider engaging with him from a distance is meeting a nasty surprise. Spikes, flames, and after a moment, the dragon seems to tilt to the side—and Milla simply eviscerates an opponent without leaving her seat.]
nonbelligerent: (falling petals. 2-1)

[personal profile] nonbelligerent 2019-07-19 12:16 pm (UTC)(link)
[thanks milla

though while shess takes down a viking who gets in his way, milla might want to be careful—after all, there are dragons up in the sky as well, and they're hostile as long as the machines are in effect. one, in fact, might be trying to breathe fire at her?]
tothemaxwell: (and i've met my match)

[personal profile] tothemaxwell 2019-07-19 12:56 pm (UTC)(link)
[look at this attack dragon thinkin he's smart

because he is. the fire catches her off guard—the heat close enough to actively singe her hair—but Stormfly, at least, is not some visitor to the sky, and banks hard, avoiding further damage.]


Ah!

Yes—let's go!

[she's definitely talking to her dragon. sheathing her blade, her focus shifts wholly. time to take out the trash.

good luck on the ground in the meantime shess!!]
nonbelligerent: (the return. 4-6)

[personal profile] nonbelligerent 2019-07-19 12:57 pm (UTC)(link)
[it's fine he's just going to stab someone

he does look up, but it seems milla can handle herself fine and it's not like there's anything he can do, so. he'll focus on getting to the machine.]
tothemaxwell: (that blonde)

[personal profile] tothemaxwell 2019-07-19 01:45 pm (UTC)(link)
[milla is doing very well with the dragon! there's a lot of looping and diving going on in the sky. someone is pouring a significant cg budget into something no one else will see! thanks, dreamworks!

meanwhile, on the ground, any vikings that milla had been previously subverting are getting it into their heads to start attacking in groups, and possibly result in significantly less shess stabs. one group is even attempting a pincer from in front.]
nonbelligerent: (crossroads. 1-1)

[personal profile] nonbelligerent 2019-07-19 01:50 pm (UTC)(link)
[please do not fall off your dragon, milla.

... ah, what a pain. the vikings will be getting a blast of wind (?) for their troubles, though. surprise! it might not hurt any, but it serves its purpose in knocking them off their feet/disarming them, as shess takes the opportunity to advance.]

[There's a firey explosion from above—a mix of dragon flame, and Milla's own element. The successful dragon and its rider loops around without a sound, and begins focusing on another menacing the battlefield around Shess.

But there's still a rider and a dragon dropping out of the sky... and coincidentally (or maybe not) directly on top of the vikings Shess has just knocked over. You're welcome, buddy!]
