week zero: mingle

[cyclists]

Week Zero
32 in Competition

On Monday morning, the sun rises on the sleepy village, and when the first ray of light touches the gates at each corner of the village, the previously tightly sealed doors open.

The barriers around the village fall, and leave it entirely open. Each cardinal direction will have a path exiting the village, taking the curious explorers who follow it on an adventure to new territories to be explored. They’ll find that each location that they arrive in appears to be associated with one of the elements. As the Signs had explained the day before, each of the participants in the game possesses an elemental assignment, whether they are aware of it or not.

When they approach the elemental areas, they’ll find themselves more in tune with their new powerset, as if the location invites them to take them out for a spin. The new areas appear to be perfect for training and learning how to use the new skills, or maybe if you’re curious you can discover which of those listed powers you’ve been granted.

Just try not to hurt yourself while you’re out there.

In addition, it seems now that more pieces of the core are being revealed, the river that runs through the village will begin to be dotted with small lanterns floating on the water. Some of them seem to be holding small notes. Try as you might to grab one, they’ll always just barely float out of reach.

Perhaps try sending one yourself and see what results you might get?

Occasionally in the village, you might hear the sound of drums and flutes - is that festival music? - though no matter how you search, you can’t find the source… yet.

[whitewalls]

Oh. Did you hear that?

[ she's trying to keep a straight face but she's

failing at it ]

[compendiem]

Hm...

[ He can think of a couple of friends who d—- no, he should shout that train of thought their. ]

I guess. Empusa's good at being a friend. She's a quick learner. And she can create tornadoes.

[omegathree]

It's young for a human as well. The average age is about 85.

Did you not have a caretaker?

[do parents exist in kh?]

[unfriendliest]

[ have any of the swords back home thanked him for food before? probably not

ookurikara doesn't even say "you're welcome" he's just

baffled?? ]

[leaberator]

[ only theoretically ]

Uh... Yeah, I did at some point.

[ wow. could he. be vaguer. ]

[omegathree]

[Val just... believes this.]

Nevertheless, now you need to take care of yourself here. No one else will do it for you.

[leaberator]

You keep that up, and I'm gonna dip you, next.

[leaberator]

[ uwu ]

I'll try an' make sure everyone knows to thank you for it, too. Well, see ya.

[ he waves and walks off before kara can object to that, ]

[twinsightful]

I'm out of firing range. [Just. A slight protest. He doesn't move any closer and instead sits back on his haunches, arms wrapped around his knees and still watching.]

...what kind of art is that? [Namely because it seems to help chill this guy out and that's something else worth noting.]

[whitewalls]

[ the only time she's heard something like that, it was based on a lie. so there's an odd feeling in her chest, and she can't really tell if it's a negative or positive emotion, just that it aches. ]

... thank you.

[ she feels a little silly, getting emotional when they're surrounded by people dancing and there's a clown somewhere, but. ]

[compendiem]

[ He tries to balance out his weirdness

Whale it is; instead of removing the face, he takes a little more care giving the whale a wide glasgow smile and hollowing it out that way, so that when he stuffs it full of ice cream the mouth is still sort of open and looks like it's vomiting up vanilla ice cream.

It will still be delicious, if you don't think about it. ]

[leaberator]

An' I'm telling you I have been!

[ why is this happening to him ]

[twinsightful]

[There's a grin sneaking up over his face as he watches.] You can't take your eyes off of your opponent! Even if you aren't ready, he is. Strike him again!

[omegathree]

Go eat something healthy for humans.

[i don't know.]

You have a lot of options here.

[twinsightful]

Yeah. [...there's enough waiting for him at home. He'd rather bail sooner than later, too.]

But just in case? Pick some other things to take with you. [A gesture to the clothes once more.] They're here, so we may as well take them.

[compendiem]

[ Who the fuck lied to her about that, I will shank them. ]

You're welcome. I'm a bit thirsty. Do you want something to drink too?

[twinsightful]

Then how am I supposed to teach you?! [Don't be impossible! But fine!! He moves that hand UP TO HER SHOULDER and gives her a pointed look. Better?]

[preowned]

[ he has to lean over to squint at the glass ]

I am not sure.

[preowned]

[ THEY ARE TOTALLY FINE

slightly drunk but fine

to the party, then ]

[wildc4rd]

[His smile is as coy as the wink he gives.]

A good circus performer can play as many parts as he can.

[twinsightful]

Yes. [Like. He won't lie about that, and he shrugs as they continue dancing around.] She got used to it and started ignoring us after the first day anyway.

[There's a fondness in his tone, whoops.] If she really minded, she would have left eventually.

[wildc4rd]

You aren't very supportive of your husband.

[he'll divorce you for less, tsuru]

[unfriendliest]

[ Technically, yes, but he doesn't take his eyes off of Kaoru until he's settled down. ]

It's not art.

[cyclists]

Then they can come and find me. [Well that was easy.] Let's take more of the snacks and go sit down.

[Initiative!]

i

[televised]

And who's going to inadvertently poison someone else before we're let go.

[She's looking over at the food as well, though it doesn't look like she intends to grab anything for herself. It's more like she's inspecting each dish like someone would inspect a piece of plastic or, you know, something inedible.]
