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]

No.

[ he does not. ]

[coastal]

Then don't say things like that.

[bluntly]

You didn't answer my question.

[unfriendliest]

You're not dancing, either.

[ that's

still not an answer ]

[coastal]

[???]

I thought you didn't care...

Why do you keep redirecting the conversation to me?

[unfriendliest]

I don't.

[ he keeps his eyes on the dance floor, idly watching everyone else have fun. or whatever it is they're doing. ]

You're not dancing, either. Don't act like it's so strange.

[coastal]

[ . . . well.]

This one's a partner dance.

[that's why she's not dancing, but she still doesn't get why he's interested at all]

[unfriendliest]

[ oh... he hadn't actually noticed. ]

Then why are you yelling at me to go out there?

[ he sounds exasperated. does he look like he has a partner? ]

[coastal]

If you're looking, doesn't that mean you're interested?

[?]

I'm sure you could find a partner if you wanted.

[she's not going to volunteer herself it's fine]

[unfriendliest]

[ what? ]

No?

[ why would she think that ]

[coastal]

... so you're looking just to look?

[????]

[unfriendliest]

It's not like there's much else to do.

[ besides eat... and he's already checked out the food, so. what else is there. ]

[coastal]

[ . . . ]

Want to try to find a way to leave?

[caN THEY JUST LEAVE THE PARTY]

[unfriendliest]

[ ...well, yeah, he does. but with lili?

his gaze sweeps over the party, considering this. tsuru won't be happy if he leaves.

but he does push himself away from the wall. ]

Sure.

[ where the fuck are they gonna go ]

[coastal]

[who knows

lili is just going to pick a direction away from the dancefloor because she wants to see if they can actually get away from this place]

Maybe this way...

[it's a village? it should be simple to go other places?]

[unfriendliest]

[ he doesn't even particularly like this girl, why the hell is he following her

sure enough, though, he is. hands in his pockets (he misses his sword), ookurikara trails behind her like a lost puppy, trying to keep one eye on their surroundings so they don't get lost or anything.

but it's a village surely that won't happen ]

[coastal]

[well.

thanks to chat.

they're probably tipsy and that's fine. lili is leading pretty confidently for the fact that she doesn't know anything about anyone, and at least the sound of music is getting further away. it's still playing faintly but...

she will turn back to him]

... do you know which way we're going?

[please

a map]

[unfriendliest]

[ how can she expect him to have a map if he doesn't even have his sword

but he takes another look around like he's actually familiar with this damn village at all. maybe... ]

Toward the fields.

[ he thinks? ]

[coastal]

Oh!

[her expression lightens up because that's much better than the stupid party

and she'll move to keep walking

and tHEN PAUSE SUDDENLY

and look back at him]

That's acceptable, isn't it?

[unfriendliest]

[ he just. shrugs. ]

I don't care.

[ it's not the party at least ]

[coastal]

[neat

that's where they're going then!!

out to the fields and the farmland]
