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.

[whitewalls]

Yeah.

[ ... ]

I don't know how.

[daibanana]

Well then...

What's your favorite type of pastry?

[whitewalls]

[ she has to think about it ]

... cupcake?

[daibanana]

Favorite flavor?

[SORRY NAMINE, she's gonna pick your brain]

[whitewalls]

[ uh


she's being put on the spot here. she's trying to think of flavors. ]

Choco...late...?

[daibanana]

Oooh, a good choice then.

When you're free sometime, how about I teach you how to make them?

[whitewalls]

I'd really like that. It'll be nice if I can learn to make something too, instead of just...

[ BEING FED BY OTHERS....,,, ]

[daibanana]

Don't worry, by the time we're done, you'll be making everyone's favorite desserts, Namine-chan!

[whitewalls]

Chan?

[ she tilts her head at that. it sounds cute but. ]

[daibanana]

It's an honorific. Where I'm from, we put it at the end of someone's name to denote respect or fondness for a person.

[Tilting her head with a smile]

So it just means that I think you're really nice, Namine-chan.

[whitewalls]

[ ah. so it really is cute then. ]

So... Daiba-chan, then?

[daibanana]

There you go! Now you're like a proper Japanese lady.

[whitewalls]

[ WOW.... she's like a proper japanese lady.... ]

I don't have anything to teach you like that in return...

[daibanana]

Oh don't worry, that's not important.

It doesn't have to be an exchange.

[whitewalls]

Still... I'd like to do something in return, even if it's small.

[daibanana]

[Hmmm]

... Do you know of any good stories you could tell me?

[whitewalls]

What kind of stories do you like to hear?

[daibanana]

Stories with happy endings.

[whitewalls]

Then... I'll find you later, and I'll tell you my favorite one, okay?

[daibanana]

In that case, I'll look forward to it!
