week zero: mingle

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.

We'll be fine! It will take like a week for the lava to get here and cover the whole village or something!

[Which he isn't worried about. There are more important things than lava at this point.]

Have you been down any other paths!? What else is out there!?

[ wouldn't it start doing harm way before it covers the whole village--you know what, never mind. ]

Hmm, caves and mountains, mostly? [ from what she's seen. ] Kind of boring...

Where were the caves?

[Exploring caves would be at least something to do.]

[ akane points in... the general direction of the caves. ]

They're actually pretty cool. There are crystals in them.

Crystals!? I want to see!

[He grabs for Akane's hand to try and drag her along with him to the caves. Crystals! Crystals sparkle and it will be so pretty!]

[ Akane takes a step backwards to evade the hand-grab, but hums like she was maybe just? casually taking a step back? sure, that's believable. ]

I mean, I've already been...

[ for the record she can very easily be convinced to go again; she's mostly... saying that to cover for her step back. as if she could make it look like she had just happened to step back because she was about to leave. ]

[Toki takes her comment and back-stepping as an obvious sign Akane doesn't want to go back to the caves. Which is fine.]

Okay, have fun wit the lava~!

[He'll go find the caves alone.]

[ nailed it ]

Thanks. Hopefully the village is still here when you get back.
