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.

[cyclists]

They're quite round.

[they're... fat and cute...]

[nonbelligerent]

They are, aren't they? And the way they walk is amusing.

[cyclists]

Oh?

How do they walk?

[please

please let shess penguin walk]

[nonbelligerent]

[...

well, he doesn't really know how to explain it verbally, so

goddamnit i can't believe you're making me do this




he feels a little silly but okay, he'll briefly mimic a penguin waddle for lune.]

[cyclists]

[this is

the fuckin best thing at this party

because lune is just going to laugh happily, apparently delighted to their very core, clapping their hands as they applaud shess' impromptu performance]

Ah! That is amusing!

[nonbelligerent]

[what happened to his job of standing around and being a calming influence, lune]

A real penguin would likely do it better.

[cyclists]

[this is a good job also]

I am not certain of that.

Your reenactment had its own merits that a penguin could not match.

[because a penguin isn't shess???]

[nonbelligerent]

I'm not sure if that's a compliment.

[cyclists]

Certainly it is.

Why would I hold you in anything but the highest regard?

[nonbelligerent]

Highest regard is a bit too much, I think.

[cyclists]

[shess clearly did not see all the joy in his penguin waddle that lune did]

Modesty is also a wonderful trait.

[nonbelligerent]

[please]

Somehow, I feel as though you consider many things a wonderful trait.

[cyclists]

[there's a brief laugh at that]

Perhaps.

They are what allows for individuality, after all. Freedom of will and the ability to exercise it...

I enjoy seeing what people will choose.

[nonbelligerent]

Careful, Lune. Your age is showing.

[cyclists]

Mm?

[they will look down at their sleeves, their gloved hands, pulling their hands up to their hood]

Where?

[nonbelligerent]

[he reaches over to poke lune in the forehead.

if he can. who knows, maybe lune's face really is just a black hole.]

[cyclists]

[he probably can

or rather, he would if lune did not move back just enough that shess' finger doesn't make it quiet into the hood]

Ahh - I see.

You are quite amusing, Shess.

[nonbelligerent]

Am I? I've been told I can be rather aggravating.

[cyclists]

Hmm?

[they sound so genuinely confused]

Who would tell you that?

[nonbelligerent]

People back home.

[cyclists]

Is that so...

Then I am afraid that they and I will have to be at odds in that regard.

[shess is chill af]

[nonbelligerent]

[he is except that's why they find him aggravating]

I'm touched.

[cyclists]

[bad taste, people back home :/ ]

Ahahaha, I assure you it is only my true feelings from my assessment of you thus far.

[nonbelligerent]

[none of them have any chill, it's terrible]

I hope I can continue to live up to your expectations, then.

[cyclists]

[there's another laugh at that and lune will continue to work their way down the buffet table]

As long as you are yourself, I could not ask for anything more.
