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.

[i can't tell you anything more than that francy

but tsuru looks like he's having fun, so shess just smiles.]

[preowned]

[ he is having a lot of fun ]

Who are you?

[ he'll hand the tablet back after that one ]

[nonbelligerent]

[comments so you can't fix your html

once he sets it back to his original settings:]

Shess.

[preowned]

[ binch ]

I saw you when everyone was speaking to the hooded figures.

[nonbelligerent]

And I saw you as well.

[preowned]

It's a pretty surprising situation we've found ourselves in!

[ that's a word for it ]

[nonbelligerent]

Yes, that's certainly one way of putting it.

[preowned]

What do you think?

[nonbelligerent]

If what they say is true, I have an interest in keeping my world unaffected. Even if it isn't, I would also like to be returned home, so I suppose there's little choice at the moment but to go along with it until we have more answers.

[preowned]

True, true! If we're stuck here, we might as well do all we can, right?

[ he shrugs ]

Plus... even if we do break out of here, we could just be transported back.

[nonbelligerent]

That would certainly be an issue. This universe has already demonstrated it's not in the habit of asking for permission.

[preowned]

Right? So it'll probably be best if we just solve the issue while we're here. Simple!

[ saving the universe is simple ]

[nonbelligerent]

I suppose depending on how you look at it, it's simple, yes.

[preowned]

What do you think of Sol and Lune then?

[nonbelligerent]

Sol seems rather young.

[granted most people do by shess's standards.]

[preowned]

Hahah, yes, Lune-chan confirmed that they're the older one, at least.

Although that shows age wasn't a factor in choosing them.

[nonbelligerent]

I hope that wasn't a misstep.

[WHY DID THEY PICK A BABY]

[preowned]

Mm... there are a lot of teenagers here, too...

[ why are there so many 15 year olds ]

[nonbelligerent]

Perhaps they wanted the influence of children?

[?????]

[preowned]

Ah! I see.

[ he nods his head ]

[nonbelligerent]

[...

please don't accept that so easily.]

[preowned]

[ too late this is canon now for him ]

The youth can see things with fresher eyes.

[nonbelligerent]

[well okay]

Do you think that'll help in this case?

[preowned]

I don't know, we haven't done anything yet.

[nonbelligerent]

Even after speaking with Sol and Lune, we still have no real direction, do we?
