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.

Not everyone knows how to cook fish, you know.

[omegathree]

It's-

Of course you need it to be cooked.

[Like he somehow just forgot that was a thing humans needed.]

[twinsightful]

Not all fish needs to be cooked, but I don't trust fish in what might be a fake ocean.

[omegathree]

Do you think they're filling the ocean with fake fish?

[twinsightful]

It's possible. There's no way all of these regions can exist this closely together without some interference.

[omegathree]

It's probably the magic.

[twinsightful]

And you wonder why I'm questioning the fish?

[omegathree]

I don't understand why it's so difficult for you to accept it.

[twinsightful]

The same reason it's difficult for you to understand that most places do not have vampire demons?

[omegathree]

Do you have vampires or demons?

[twinsightful]

We had neither, actually.

[omegathree]

What did you have?

[twinsightful]

Humans. Lots and lots of humans.

[omegathree]

Yes, we have a lot of those too.

[twinsightful]

And you were from...where again?

[omegathree]

I'm from the Netherworld.

[twinsightful]

That doesn't really tell me much, you know.

[omegathree]

I suppose humans call it hell.

What else do you want to know about it?

[twinsightful]

What do you do down there?

[omegathree]

I convince humans that they're actually dead and instructing them to pay off their sins.

[twinsightful]

How much do they have to pay? [He's definitely thinking an actual physical dollar amount.]

[omegathree]

It depends on the crimes.

[So he's not exactly wrong?]

[twinsightful]

And...you collect the payment and then what happens to them? They're free to go? They come back to life? [Is this an anime trope?]

[omegathree]

I'm a Prinny Instructor, not a HL collector.

They wait until the Red Moon and a Reaper will sever their ties to that life, allowing them to start a new human life with a clean slate.

[twinsightful]

So. Reincarnation. [Not a concept he fully grasps, but close enough.] What about if those ties aren't severed ever...?
