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.

[ her tone of voice sounds a little bored, since to her it's all pretty normal stuff, but she's still willing to explain. ]

Play games, send instant... Letters to other phones, basically. It can't right now, but usually it can. Calculator, calendar, clock, timer, alarm, weather forecast...

[unfriendliest]

[ many of these things mean nothing to him. it's interesting in its own way, he supposes? but anyway she's too close and he doesn't like that so ookurikara will step back to ask a different question. ]

Why are you taking pictures?

[ he knows why mutsunokami does it, but he knows all the swords in the citadel. this is different. ]

[specialdog]

[ hell yeah personal space, she's into it. ]

For fun. It's nice to be able to look back on good memories, right?

[unfriendliest]

[ well. he can't deny that, but. ]

How is being here good?

[specialdog]

It's not good to be here as a whole, but the party is still nice. Right?

[ does she believe what she is saying? no. will she be honest? also no. ]

[unfriendliest]

[ people are so easily distracted... ]

I don't care about things like this.

[specialdog]

Between being trapped in an uneventful village or trapped in a village during a festival, you don't have any preference?

[unfriendliest]

I'd rather not be trapped at all.

[ i mean. duh. ]

[specialdog]

It wouldn't be "trapped" if that were an option.

[unfriendliest]

[ wow you're actually kind of annoying aren't you ]

And you're okay with that?

[specialdog]

No, not at all.

[unfriendliest]

[ then why... ]

And you don't think this is a waste of time when we could be looking for a way out?

[specialdog]

It's a huge waste of time. Just like complaining about every little thing that you can't control.

[unfriendliest]

[ i can't believe akane just came for his entire fucking life with that comment
