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.

Seisho Music Academy! It's very difficult to get in, and then you have to keep your grades up or be kicked out.

[Hehehe~ She's glad Akane isn't angry at her boldness, and slides them back into the regular waltz.]

So I'm familiar with most types of dance. Even ballet.

[specialdog]

Ehh, so it's like an elite academy. That's really impressive.

[daibanana]

It's so much fun! All of my classmates are very nice.

I miss them.

[Even if it's only been a few days, but the honesty is there in her voice.]

-- Though they'd probably turn this into a dance competition of they were here, too.

[specialdog]

Then for someone like me, maybe it's lucky they're not here.

[ because she's bad at dancing :( ]

[daibanana]

[Giving a soft little chuckle at that]

Nonsense, I'd bet you'd just well! You just need the right dance partner.

[specialdog]

Would all of them be as patient as you to teach me?

[daibanana]

[MMMM.

An apologetic smile.

It speaks for itself, really]

Haha... well...

[specialdog]

[ Akane laughs. ]

... That's okay. At least you would have some proper partners to dance with, instead. [ that would mean no one would need to teach akane! they could just all dance with each other! ]

[daibanana]

I would. Though...

[How to put this]

Sometimes that's not as much fun as teaching someone how to dance.

If I dance with someone who already knows, and we're from the same school, things tend to become very competitive, and no one's really relaxing.

[specialdog]

Is dancing supposed to be a competition?

[daibanana]

Not inherently. But my school produces many famous actresses, dancers, and other types of performers.

For my classmates, it can be hard to turn that off.

[specialdog]

Ehh, so are you going to be famous?

[daibanana]

Me? Who knows.

[Not looking fussed either way]

That's in the future, so there's no way to find out but to wait.
