week seven: mingle

[cyclists]

Week Seven
13 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. As usual, you guys were a big help in purging the darkness that lingered in the gateway from last week. We'll take it from here." There's a pause. "...we've got a new one for you, but there's something really weird about it. It's even larger than the last, so be careful when you're out there."

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

"Would it be odd to say that I believe you are all doing well? Your growth has been admirable.... Have heart as you continue to move forward."

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 that somewhere on their person, a small word is printed displaying their most prominent trait. Though they may not agree, or even realize it, this is a trait that most strongly defines them and over the week this trait will slowly become amplified.



Welcome to your week seven mingle! As a reminder, murder proposals are open. We will also have a mini-event this week on Tuesday at 12pm PST. Of note, this mini-event will be different, so please stay tuned for more info!

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

That'll work. They might be a little shy if they see us just walk to them.

[ she truly hopes these babies understand the concept of stranger danger, even if she herself does not. ]

How about...

[ she picks up a fluffy bunny. ]

[compendiem]

[ Minato nods ]

Good choice. A prey animal will lower their guards. We'll go with the rabbit.

[whitewalls]

[ that is not what she meant but she nods anyway. whatever you say, minato

time to go for a second run ]

[compendiem]

[ Please correct Minato... because he just leads her back out there on the field until they get to some grassy spot by the trees and Minato asks Naminé if she's able to use the plants to dig out a hole. It doesn't have to be too deep, just baby sized, and then they can lay the vine basket/net over it and the toy on top, and the two of them can hide behind the trees and wait for a baby to crawl up and fall into the hole.

Flawless plan. ]

[whitewalls]

[ i hate this



at least she would probably use her powers to catch the baby so minato can think his plan worked ]

[compendiem]

[ Assuming they catch some wandering baby Digimon, Minato frowns and goes ]

Throw it back, we don't want that one.

[ because Naminé never specified what sort of babies they're even looking for, Minato won't ever be satisfied with anything they catch ]

[whitewalls]

[ she is never going to explain because she doesn't know he thinks it's human babies.

but naminé just looks at him then at the digimon. ]

Why...?

[compendiem]

[ Every time something happens, Minato never gets the memo. Not that it excuses him being like this. ]

We can do better.

[whitewalls]

Minato... it can hear you.

[compendiem]

So? It's not cognitively developed yet. It can't understand us.

[ Minato voice: it's stupid, who cares ]

[whitewalls]

[ CLUTCHES THE BABY TO HER CHEST ]

[compendiem]

[ Don't think Minato wouldn't wrench that thing out of her hands and yeet it across the field, because he would. He doesn't, though, because Naminé has a resting sad face. ]

...Fine. You can hold onto it for now, but wild animals are wild animals... They aren't all meant to be domesticated.

[whitewalls]

[ there is such a disconnect going on here that is going to continue for this entire fucking thread but here we are

she is going to set the trap back up for the next one ]

[compendiem]

[ Minato's doing literally none of the work here, so all he can do is nod and wait for the traps to keep trapping Digimon instead of actual babies, and looking disappointed each time. He stares the next one in the eyes and tsks ]

Too bad. Better luck next time.

[ But he'll let Naminé keep whatever she wants. It's probably better that they keep all of them aside like this, or they'll just keep catching the same ones over again if they're released. ]

[whitewalls]

[ minato, probably: where the FUCK are all the babies ]

You don't like this one either?

[compendiem]

[ Minato, shaking his head and whispering under his breath ]

Where the fuck are all the babies...

[whitewalls]

Did you say something?

[compendiem]

Where the fuck are all the babies.

[whitewalls]

[ she points at her baby pile ]

[compendiem]

Are you feeling okay? Maybe you should get your eyes checked.

[ IT'S SAID WITH COMPLETE EARNEST OKAY ]

[whitewalls]

I think I'm okay? I feel fine...

[ is something wrong with her eyes?? i'd make a are they yellow joke but you don't know kh so it'll go over your head ]

[compendiem]

[ Yeah, I'd only equate yellow eyes to Shadow selves but Minato's from the wrong Persona for that

Anyways, he picks up one of the Digimon. ]

What part of this is baby?

[whitewalls]

All of it? Look, it's so small.

[ baby..... ]

[compendiem]

It's not screaming.

[ therefore not baby ]

[whitewalls]

Maybe it doesn't feel like screaming, Minato.
