INTRO LOG

[cyclists]

Week Zero
32 in Competition

The transition from unconsciousness to the waking world is practically seamless. Though you're certain this wasn't where you meant to end up, for a few brief moments it's hard to grasp the situation and take in your surroundings.

A soft twilight lights your way, casting a glow over the sprawling village that fans out around you. Just outside of the large meeting hall you'll find yourself awakening among several others who have found themselves in this place. There's a sense of peace that looms over the area, the only sounds being the cheerful chirp of a stray bird or two and the babbling brook that runs through the village itself.

Stand up, dust yourself off and set out. There are plenty of places to explore and should you venture far enough you'll even find several little houses throughout the village. It may take some time, but as you check out each house you'll soon come across something that belongs to you...along with something that doesn't. It seems that this new residence is yours to share. As for the village itself, the other buildings appear open and well-stocked, providing you with a variety of amenities to utilize. The paths leading out of the village, however, are guarded by four ornate wooden gates. No matter how hard you try, they will not let you past. It seems that the time isn't right yet.

Speaking of, the only way to truly track the passage of time is by charting the movements of the sun but that can prove to be quite difficult as well. As the sun dips below the horizon and the night sky fills with stars, the bell at the shrine rings out to signal the end of your first day. No one else has arrived. It's only you and these strangers for now.

It seems as though you'll have plenty of time to get acquainted with your fellow companions. Make yourself comfortable; when the time is right, answers will appear.

[unfriendliest]

You'd know yourself better than I would.

[ is that some kind of encouragement or ]

It hasn't even been a day. There's no way you've looked everywhere already.

[ "are you really going to give up that easily" goes unsaid, but this judgy asshole sure is thinking it. ]

[specialdog]

No, and I'm not giving up already or anything. But sometimes you have to wait for opportunity, you know?

[unfriendliest]

Does that really accomplish anything?

[ doubt ]

[specialdog]

[ she's trying so hard to be polite and friendly!!! she's trying!! ]

Well, I can't say yet. But messing with the gate hasn't gone well for me, yet, so I'm going to focus on something else.

[unfriendliest]

[ unfortunately akane picked the one person who has no intention of getting friendly to speak to.

also unfortunate is that she's right. this isn't working. ookurikara gives the gate one last glare before looking back toward the village. there's gotta be something around here that'll give them some kind of clue...? ]

How much of this place have you explored?

[ maybe that'll give him a lead on where to start. ]

[specialdog]

I've been around the whole place, but I can't say I looked super closely everywhere I went. A lot of places seem like they'd be hard to hide anything in, though...

I haven't checked out all of the houses. After I found the one with my phone I stopped looking.

[unfriendliest]

[ that's fair. Ookurikara stopped looking once he'd gotten his sword back, too, but part of that was because he was angry someone else had touched it. ]

That doesn't mean we aren't missing something.

[ there is such a thing as hiding in plain sight. ]

[specialdog]

It'll take time to be sure we aren't. That's why we should all be searching and working together.

[unfriendliest]

[ he just. heaves a sigh. working together is such a pain. ]

I work better alone.

[specialdog]

I think that's fine. As long as you share anything you find out, later, who cares how you go about it?

[ for her 'working together' really just means 'sharing information.' ]

[unfriendliest]

[ he'll share with tsuru, who will probably share with the rest of you. does that count? ]

If I actually find anything useful, maybe.

[specialdog]

[ hey as long as she's in the loop, she's happy! ]

What, no confidence?
