week eight: mingle

[cyclists]

Week Eight
9 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 three large, swirling masses grey in color looming near the sakura tree. These swirls cannot be approached just yet, but seem to be locked and waiting for something more. Later in the day, if those in the village approach the third mass they will find themselves in a version of their home world. This world is completely void of people, but seems to be just as they last remember it. No darkness will be found in this world as well.

As the last member of the village enters the hall, they will find Lune and Sol at the head of the room. They don't speak immediately, but wait for all to settle.

Well, that won't be a problem if you take care of things before the corruption affects him.

[Well... Assuming the corruption will influence them on Thursday, as usual.]

I was able to speak to Roxas privately yesterday... But I imagine it'll get harder to separate Mikazuki from him the closer we get to the end of the week. We have to make him back off while Roxas is taken care of.

[unfriendliest]

It's already Tuesday night. For all we know, it tomorrow will already be too late. They never did tell us when it starts to set in.

And we all saw what happened when Shess separated the corruption from Xion. Maybe it would be similar with this.

[ he'll nod, though. ]

That sounds about right - but he'll know we're planning to do this, for both of them. He's going to stand in the way. If Roxas runs, all the rest of you would have to do is get past Mikazuki. Shess and I can keep him busy.

If not... we'll just have to fight until one of us breaks.

[televised]

Then forget about the corruption for a minute. When will you both make your move?

[There he goes again... She sighs, crossing her arms.]

Like I told Lea. Don't forget that we're all in the same boat. You can count on the rest of us to cover your asses if something goes wrong.

[ kara looks away ]

I don't want to break him if I don't have to. I'll move at the first sign of corruption, or if he makes a move against any of us.

[ ... ]

I don't want anyone else involved. None of you know his strength like I do. I, at least, know how he fights, and Shess has...

[ well. that's for shess to tell, isn't it. ]

...He has a plan to survive. No one else has that, so you'll just be distractions - and that will make all of us easier to kill, and all the plans you make tonight will be pointless. That's what I'm trying to avoid.

[ and kara doesn't want anyone else breaking jiji. ]

[televised]

[............ god.]

So, in the end— You're just gonna wait until it's obvious this can't be avoided? Even if it ends up making things worse?

[not accusing him. or even getting mad. she's just trying to wrap her head around this.]

[unfriendliest]

[ he sighs. ]

What do you want me to do? He's the strongest sword I know, and he's a friend. I'll do what I have to, but I'm not that eager to be broken while we break him.

[televised]

I want us to take care of them before the corruption influences them. Wouldn't striking early would make things easier for you?

[unfriendliest]

Probably. But he said he still has something to do, before then. I don't think he'll let us before that's done.

[televised]

... The more I learn about him, the less I understand him. What the hell is going through his head at a time like this?

[unfriendliest]

That's how he's always been. He's still thinking of the mission - but like I said, he always has his own goals outside of that. This time, it probably has something to do with protecting Roxas.
