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.

[phones are like the one thing that explicitly does not exist. for some reason.]

Like those devices that send paper to others?

Wow, that's old school. Sorta, I guess? Except this is a direct line, so you just... talk to each other over video. [ oh, god, does he have to explain video? ] So y'can see and hear one another.

[IT'S FINE THEY HAVE VIDEO RECORDINGS]

Sounds convenient. Technology really is remarkable.

[ that makes NO SENSE but it's FINE ]

It would be both if it worked.

[it's fine]

Who would you contact, in any case?

A couple of busy-bodies who'd love nothing more than to organize a rescue party.

[ fuckin' keyblade wielders ]

Friends of yours?

Yep.

[ for the. most part anyway. axel, looking at his hands: am i friends with mickey mouse? ]

But they'd do it for complete strangers too, no questions asked. They're kinda dorks like that.

They sound like kind people.

Yeah. That too. But it's kinda the same thing.

[ dorks be nice ]

Kindness and dorkiness?

Yep. One and the same.

Does that make you a dork?

Ha ha.

[ ... wait ]

[ shess did you just imply he's kind wtf ]

Interpret it as you like.

[ hm. bad. ]

... Right.

[ he's gonna choose to interpret it as an insult only thanks and CHANGE THE SUBJECT ]
