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.

[twinsightful]

[He glances back over, turning on his heel to approach her and make some minor adjustments to the straps.]

It looks much better.

[Akane and Kaoru took bets on who would be fed to kaijus first and Akane mentioned "the small girl in the white dress." That was funny until he actually met Naminé.]

[whitewalls]

[ she'd agree? ]

You think?

[ she considers this..... ]

Well, thank you.

[twinsightful]

Yeah. [This is absolutely useless, but at least Naminé has real people clothes now. It also miraculously fits her and that's enough for him to jot down some notes.] That should have been a size too big for you, but it changed to fit you.

[whitewalls]

Ah, so this was an experiment.

[ she nods her head in understanding ]

[twinsightful]

Not entirely. [Sort of.] The white really was washing you out.

[...] You don't seem bothered by that.

[whitewalls]

I didn't really think much of it until you said that, but... it makes sense.

[ it's not like she was really meant to stand out. ]

[twinsightful]

[Hm.]

Try something in green, too. [This is Depressing.]

[whitewalls]

Green?

[ she'll just turn and walk towards some clothes.

she's looking for green. ]

[twinsightful]

Green. A sea green would look nice. Emerald is too rich. [Is he just testing to see what Naminé will do? He may as well since she's here and these are magic bullshit clothes!!]

[whitewalls]

[ at least she knows colors.

but she'll pick something out, stares at it, and then puts it back. it was too smexy. ]

You know a lot about this.

[twinsightful]

[Why did I have to read "smexy" with both of my eyes. Anyway, there's a shrug.]

It runs in the family. [That's the best way to explain why he's sitting here running clothing experiments and knows what may look okay.] Have you never picked out your own clothes?

[whitewalls]

No. There was never really a point.

[ (diz voice) a nobody has no right to a closet

but she'll find something else, a little closer to the color that kaoru suggested ]

[twinsightful]

[Squint.]

You never went anywhere?

[whitewalls]

... nowhere that required it...

[ she should have just lied and said white is her favorite color wow ]

[twinsightful]

[This is. So strange.]

Well. You're here now, so you may as well find a few things you like. [And see if the magic stays for days going forward.] I don't know if we're going anywhere but this is somewhere new.

[whitewalls]

It seems like they don't expect us to be leaving any time soon, at least.

[ she finds another green dress, this time more forest green, and she holds it out for kaoru to see. ]

[twinsightful]

We still haven't thought of why either...unless you believe what those two from yesterday said? [Sol and Lune. There's a nod of approval and he turns to fetch a thin white-beige sweater to go over it.]

[whitewalls]

I wouldn't say I fully believe them, but... I come from a somewhat similar situation. The thing about light and darkness, that they were saying, it's a struggle back home too.

[ so it's not that unbelievable for her. ]

[twinsightful]

Really? [He's met people who come from magic worlds, but this is the first he's hearing about the light and dark thing.] How have you been fixing it?

[whitewalls]

... sadly what we've been doing, I don't think will be applicable here.

[ none of them have keyblades rip ]

[twinsightful]

Then we're all guessing what we're supposed to do. [Yikes.] ...well. For a universe that's apparently succumbing to darkness things seem okay right now. Maybe they're wrong about how serious it is?

[...he's also grabbing a jean jacket for her to go over her usual white dress.]

[whitewalls]

[ she's wandering back to the changing room ]

It's not always that obvious. When it was happening back home, unless you were aware of it already, you probably had no idea what was going on.

[twinsightful]

And how long was something like that happening? [You know, if Naminé's going to give him answers he'll just ask. Also good. Please love yourself and wear something cute.]

[whitewalls]

... a very long time.

[ thanks kaoru because she wouldn't have thought to do this on her own ]

But hopefully that won't be the case here.

[twinsightful]

They can't keep us here forever. It won't be that long. [It can't be.]

...how do those fit?
