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.

[nonbelligerent]

Your scroll does mention something like that, yes.

[wildc4rd]

It only said hand to hand combat. I could have been very good with my hands, but hated fighting, you know.

[nonbelligerent]

But you don't, according to your own words just now, so it's a moot point.

[wildc4rd]

[A mild, one-shoulder shrug.]

Fair enough.

[nonbelligerent]

[do not trust]

You look rather different tonight. Seems like you put quite a bit of effort into this.

[meanwhile shess put zero]

[wildc4rd]

Old habits. In the circus, you have to be seen. [He holds up his fingers over his eyes like binoculars?] All eyes are on you.

Did you not want to play their game's game?

[nonbelligerent]

I'm happy if others are enjoying it. But I'm not much for dressing up.

[wildc4rd]

[wow that's gay, shess, he's gonna barf]

There are a few here who would have obliged.

[nonbelligerent]

[some of us aren't CLOWN CREEPS]

I don't doubt there are.

[wildc4rd]

[look]

No each their own, I suppose. You probably made them sad.

[nonbelligerent]

Is it really so important?

[wildc4rd]

Not to me. To them perhaps.

[where did that "no" come from and what did it do with my "to" but also like no with hisoka is so fair]

[nonbelligerent]

[no with hisoka is always so fair]

I don't think anyone's too invested in my clothing.

[except for like lili]

[wildc4rd]

Hm. The hat must be enough.

[lili come dress your fucking boy]

[nonbelligerent]

It does seem to catch people's attention.

[though not as much as his tablet tbh]

I imagine your face markings usually do, as well.

[wildc4rd]

They do. [i hate that he's pleased about this and smiling] They're easy for the crowd to see.

Circus.

[nonbelligerent]

[...

there's a pause as shess tries to remember what a circus is. do they even exist in his canon, i don't know.]

[wildc4rd]

[ah]

You don't know what a circus is, do you?

[nonbelligerent]

[he shakes his head slowly.]

[wildc4rd]

How unfortunate.

[someone help these people]

Carnivals? Fairs? Festivals?

[nonbelligerent]

[it's because his race is constantly too busy trying to fight and kill each other so hisoka might like that

but he nods! fairs and festivals, at least, he knows.]

[wildc4rd]

[oh, does shess want some, like, chimera ants? because that'd definitely get rid of the civil war problem]

Amazing. [Deadpan.] Good. A circus is similar.

[nonbelligerent]

[it's fine they've been like this since the literal start of the universe, they're fine]

I suppose that would explain the tricks.

[wildc4rd]

Smart. [Whether this is sarcastic or not--unsure. His voice is a bit flat.] Plenty of people go.

Performers all have a part to play. ♥

[nonbelligerent]

And what about here?
