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.

[ dana promised me that she won't be my friend if tsuru doesn't wear the outfit from the host club episode so he's not wearing it. he's in this instead, although without the handkerchief in the pocket because he ain't that fancy. but you can find him in many places. unfortunate.

a. if you're near the food tables, you can see tsuru stacking up a lot of champagne glasses like this. there's a few bottles of alcohol next to his creation, like he hasn't quite figured out what to pick yet.

if he sees you, he'll just wink before going back to stacking the glasses.

b. or you may suddenly have him in your face, as he holds his hand out towards you. hewwo. ]

Would you like to dance?

[ c. if you somehow dodged all of that, then he is literally just stuffing his face with food. i'm sorry. he's a gremlin. ]

[ The hall monitor life never stops, Junna stands there with her hands on her hips, looking offended at the sight of said champagne tower. ]

Excuse me sir, but do you realize how many of us are minors? You shouldn't leave alcohol out in the open like this.

[preowned]

[ that is the very wrong facial expression for her to have while looking at his masterpiece? ]

... would you like only one glass then?

[starstricken]

No!

[ He's missed her point entirely. ]

Unless you intend on guarding this liquor all night and checking ages and ID's you've got no business leaving it out in the open like this.

[preowned]

[ who is this small, naggy human

tsuru rubs the back of his head, his expression scrunched up like he's thinking of something. ]

I can make another one but fill it with juice...?

c

[unfriendliest]

Don't eat all of it.

[ you're embarrassing ]

[preowned]

What did you make?

[ he just automatically assumes kara brought something too. ]

[unfriendliest]

[ he points out... way too many dishes, honestly. it's dumb. ]

Is the rest of it good?

[preowned]

[ tsuru immediately reaches for one of kara's next ]

Mmhm! I haven't tried everything, and I don't know who made what, but so far it's been tasty.

[unfriendliest]

[ there's zunda mochi too and he kind of doesn't want tsuru to have any because it's not as good as masamune's :\ ]

What have you tried?

[ please tell him you haven't just been shoveling things into your mouth. ]

[preowned]

[ he's sort of just

gestures vaguely



he ha been shoving things into his mouth. ]

[unfriendliest]

[ why are you the way that you are

guess he'll just

hesitantly reach for a jello shot then

he has no fucking idea what it is but tsuru's not exactly helping him choose here ]

[preowned]

[ KARA NO

tsuru can't even say anything because he hasn't tried that one yet ]

Tell me how it tastes.

[unfriendliest]

[ unfortunately it's colorful so it stood out

after grabbing a spoon, he takes one bite and

stares down at it in surprise. it's actually not bad? a little sweet for his taste, but...

wordlessly, he offers it to tsuru to try. ]

[preowned]

[ this is bad

but tsuru will immediately go to try it as well, and-- ]

Oh!! That's really good, what is it?

[ he is fascinated by this jiggling treat ]

a

[leaberator]

[ ... ]

Huh. Neat. Think you could make it taller?

[ axel sometimes just wants to see the world burn. ]

[preowned]

[ hmmm

he looks it over ]

Yes.

[leaberator]

You should do it.

[ he doesn't even give a reason? ]

[preowned]

[ i hate this

because he's immediately going to get more glasses for this ]

[leaberator]

[ yes... mild chaos... he is here for this. he, in fact, waits patiently in front of the champagne tower for tsuru to get more glasses. ]

[preowned]

[ HE RETURNS WITH MORE

AND STARTS STACKING

axel may notice that he is not paying proper attention to spacing technique ]

[leaberator]

[ axel takes a step or two back in immediate preparation to not get murdered by falling champagne glasses ]

That's a lot! How tall are you gonna make it?

[preowned]

As tall as your hair.

[ how is he going to do that when he's shorter than axel

stay tuned ]

[leaberator]

Is that an actual number?

[ he is, already, very tuned into this channel. it's like watching a trainwreck... ]

[preowned]

It's a goal!

[ so no, he has no idea how much it actually is numeral form

but it is happening. ]
