week six: mingle

[cyclists]

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.

[ HEY. Obviously not expecting anyone to be around, they make a not-so-graceful squawking sound and almost fall forward into the water - fortunately, they end up turning so they just fall backwards onto their butt instead. ]

W-what are you doing here?! Don't eavesdrop on me!

[whitewalls]

Oh, sorry. I was just taking a walk and saw the shark.

[ well, she saw the shark and pumpkins, which is weird. ]

[globs]

And not me?

[whitewalls]

I was wondering what you were doing with the shark and...

[ she gestures at everything in the water. ]

[globs]

[ an annoyed huff. They pull themself up to their feet, gingerly dusting off their shorts. ]

It's got nothing to do with you.

[whitewalls]

Alright.

[ she isn't leaving though, and will walk over to the dock to get closer to the edge to peer into the water. ]

[globs]

[ she will see... well, not much, actually, because the shark's presence has made all the fish in the area leave. She might see the shark, though. It's still lurking around. ]

... Do you need something?

[whitewalls]

No.

[ she glances at them. ]

Did you do all of this for it?

[globs]

All of what?

[whitewalls]

Give it things to play with.

[globs]

... Well, I had nothing better to do with these pumpkins. They'd just rot otherwise.

[whitewalls]

Well, it's a good use of them then.

[globs]

...

[ they look over at her, appearing a little disgruntled. Just talking like this makes them anxious. ]

It's not like it can eat them. This one only eats meat.

[whitewalls]

If it's sticking around then it can't dislike it though, right?
