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.

[unfriendliest]

I don't know.

[ he just watches tsuru play with it for a minute before- ]

Do you think Mitsutada would like it?

[preowned]

I think so! He'd probably be able to make it taste even better, too.

[ sorry whoever made this but

tsuru is biased ]

[unfriendliest]

He makes everything better.

[ it is known ]

[preowned]

I wonder if we can figure out how it's done...?

[ he'll take another spoonful, and then hands it back to kara. ]

[unfriendliest]

[ he helps himself to a second spoonful. it's... a little easier to handle the sweetness this time, he thinks. ]

He could probably do it if we describe to him, even if we don't have the recipe.

[ he has so much faith in mitsutada ]

[preowned]

[ tsuru, sadly, does not see anything wrong with this idea? he just nods his head because he too has faith in mitsu-bou ]

Maybe we can pick other colors? It'll make it more surprising!

[unfriendliest]

It's not surprising if you're picking the colors.

[preowned]

Fine. Mitsu-bou can pick them.

[ he frowns ]

Maybe we can mess with the flavor...

[unfriendliest]

[ he looks down at the jello shot thoughtfully. ]

We could try persimmons?

[ they had a bunch of those lying around the citadel right ]

[preowned]

Maybe it can be blue so no one will expect the taste...

[ why is he still stuck on the color

he's thinking of the possibilities now though. ]

[unfriendliest]

Maybe it be better with flavored cream, too...?

[ why is kara going with this ]

[preowned]

We should give it a test run.

[ he says, as if they have any idea whatsoever on how to make it ]

[unfriendliest]

[ what ]

How? We don't know the recipe, or who made it.

[preowned]

Channel your inner Mitsu-bou and figure it out!!

[unfriendliest]

[ tsuru gets the most dubious look for that comment ]

I don't know how to make something like this.

[ it jiggles? he's never done that before ]

[preowned]

Maybe there's cookbooks in the library?

[ he just wants to eat kara's version of this ]

[unfriendliest]

[ this idiot never uses cookbooks so that literally never occurred to him thanks ]

Maybe... What would we look for?

[ they can't look for "jiggle" unfortunately ]

[preowned]

[ uh



that's a good question he has no idea what the fuck this is called ]

Let's find one with pictures!

[unfriendliest]

[ nods! that's the best thing they can do if they really want this. and kara's basically just accepted that tsuru is going to have this happen one way or another so.

onward? ]

[preowned]

[ onward!!

... although he's going to take two more jello shots before they go

you know. in case they want more. ]

[unfriendliest]

[ well damn i guess swords are about to learn about jello shots. i hate this. as they walk, ookurikara helps himself to another spoon of it, trying to pinpoint the flavor. ]

There's something else in it, besides the fruit. Almost like...

[ another half-spoon, just to help him think about it. ]

...sake?

[ what the fuck is vodka ]

[preowned]

Huh?

[ he'll take another bite of his own, like he's testing that. ]

Maybe they add a little for flavoring?

[ these morons will find out that it is not a little at all ]

[unfriendliest]

You almost can't taste it at all.

...Should we add more? So you can.

[ kara no ]

[preowned]

Great idea! There's nothing wrong with making a recipe better!

[ or deadly, in this case, because they're going to get wasted by the end of this party ]

[unfriendliest]

[ who needs murder when you can die by jello shot

he's already thinking of which ones would give the most flavorful juices for this... that sounds like the way to do this. ]

I didn't see persimmons, but there are plenty of berries in the kitchen. We can use those to start.

...No sake, though.

[ they may have to take some from the party ]
