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.

Other kinds of families?

[That would be a no.]

All the books I read always talk about a Mother and a Father...but there are different ones?
leaberator: (the fuck? there's white shit everywhere)

[personal profile] leaberator 2019-06-05 02:27 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah. Some families don't have a mother, or some don't have a father... Or sometimes they can have two mothers or two fathers, but not the other ones. [ disney can't @ me on gay couples existing, i'm free. he frowns a bit in thought ] There's probably a bunch I'm forgetting. Point is, not all families are the same. Got it memorized?

So it's okay that I don't have a Mother? I've always wanted to have one...I thought it would be nice.

[It sounds so idyllic, at least. A figure to look up to, who could brush her hair and read her stories and wipe her tears when she cries.]
leaberator: (hang out or... something...)

[ danielle im gonna fuckin cry ]

'Course it's fine. A bunch of people don't have moms. Yeah, sometimes it's sad, but it doesn't say anything about you.

[Same hat.]

What about if you have a Father but he left you all alone? It's not because I'm a bad girl, is it?
leaberator: (two bros chillin' in a hot tub)

[personal profile] leaberator 2019-06-05 02:46 am (UTC)(link)
[ ... ah, geez. ]

It's not. [ firm, first of all. ] It sounds to me like your father wasn't really good at bein' one.
withsadness: (047)

[personal profile] withsadness 2019-06-05 02:58 am (UTC)(link)
But I love him! I want him to love me, too!

[Where did he go? Where? Mary uses her palms to erase the drawing.]

If all families can be different, does that mean they don't have to be with you since you can remember? Could...I have one someday, too, even if I never have before?
leaberator: (how much munny do you have?)

[personal profile] leaberator 2019-06-05 03:08 am (UTC)(link)
[ he doesn't know what to say to that first part. it is... a little bit... above his emotional pay grade. but he can answer the other one: ]

Yeah, 'course you can. Even when you're not related, if you're close enough to someone, they can be your family, too.

[personal profile] withsadness 2019-06-06 12:07 am (UTC)(link)
They can be? How do you know when it happens?

[She's absolutely imagining there's some kind of magical indication.]
leaberator: (anyways you said roxas started...?)

[personal profile] leaberator 2019-06-06 12:16 am (UTC)(link)
Uhhh... I guess you just sorta feel it, when you're real close to someone?

[ he has BARELY gotten a handle on friendship again please don't ask him so much ]
withsadness: (155)

[personal profile] withsadness 2019-06-06 12:21 am (UTC)(link)
Feel it...I'll feel it...

[She contemplates this and then nods, resolute.]

Okay! I'm going to find them, my family! And I'll be the best daughter, and we'll love each other forever!
leaberator: (like 69 cents?)

[personal profile] leaberator 2019-06-06 01:21 am (UTC)(link)
[ she is ... so cute... and so sad all at once. he is going to die. ]

Yeah, 'course you will. You're great, Mary.
