Week Zero
32 in Competition
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.

Welcome to your tutorial week mingle log! Please see all the links within the log to check out the new updates. In addition, your status page has been updated. In case you missed it, please report all item theft to this top-level where all comments are screened. Private conversations are also open and should be reported under the Week 0 top-level.
A mini-event will also be posted on Wednesday, June 5th, so please keep an eye out for that!

[If you enter this space today, you'll find one (1) Kaoru Hitachiin sitting on the floor with a sketchpad in his lap, a pencil in his hand, and scraps of fabric spread around him in a circle. He doesn't bother to move out of the way and he doesn't look up from what he's doing, but once he's aware he isn't alone, he lifts his free hand to point at a rack of clothing before him.]
It's a perfect fit. [What?]
Library
[You can also find him back in the library and roaming the upper floor today, fingers running along the spines of the books. He frowns to himself and he turns to whomever is nearby.]
Should we be worried there are no reference books for this place?
Fire
[Ah. The gates are down and against his better judgment Kaoru wanders out on the paths, eventually making his way north and to the desert. He thinks he should turn back, but for some reason something encourages him to continue on. Maybe it's a void in the back of his head, or maybe it's the thrumming in his veins like adrenaline. It's hard to say, but as he steps over the rocks and enters the area he finds himself relaxing just a little.
As he approaches the large volcano, he folds his arms over his chest and looks upward.]
Have you been to any of the other paths? [This is to whomever is closest.] I wonder what they have in place of a volcano.
Wildcard
[Hit me up for anything else! You can randomize me, or hit me up for PCs/etc via
Boutique
Okay~!
[He shrugs and steps around Kaoru to look for shoes.]
no subject
No matter what you pick up it fits somehow. [Which doesn't make any logical sense.] Did you ever find a shovel?

Fiyaaaaah
[ Hello.
Miki doesn't actually stop, she just keeps walking past Kaoru onwards, like she's gunning to just get up there and climb that thing. ]
I think I liked that place a bit better than this one. [ Yet still, here she is. ]
no subject
Where's it at? [He's not really sure he's into the idea of walking into a volcano, but...he can't argue that it isn't strangely comfortable even if it's hot here.]

She'll glance at the clothing rack when prompted, at least, eyes widening a fraction]
What's a perfect fit? ... For you?
no subject
For anyone, really. That's the strange part. It doesn't matter what it is, it fits.

[ you know, a regular conclusion to come to. she laughs because she seems to realize that sounds a bit silly. ]
Or maybe they were just very into passing down their own personal history orally?
no subject
That would mean their history's pretty dead since there's nobody around to tell us about it. Shame. [He does not even sound like he means it.] Can planets just appear out of nowhere?

They're far. [That's it, that's his excuse.] It may not even be worth looking at them if they aren't like this.

Yeah, probably. It's like there's no history to this place at all.
