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.

You, Daiba-chan and Axel all seem to know people. And I think maybe that guy who tried to fight Sol and the guy who separated them are from the same place. [Tsuru and Ookurikara but what's a name.]

[whitewalls]

Oh, I know Axel. We also know Xion and... Saix...

[ the way she says xion and saix is very different

one sounds happier than the other. ]

[twinsightful]

[Nodding, nodding...but yeah, that tone is obvious.]

Axel seems okay. And I think I met Xion a few days ago. But what's wrong with Saix?

[whitewalls]

... we don't get along.

[ that's an understatement.

but then she sighs. ]

Axel says he's gotten... better, though. So I'll just take his word for it.

[twinsightful]

Oh. [Later, he'll realize it's because Saix is a creep given how he behaves at the party.]

...do you not know yourself? [Nobody's brought up timeline shenanigans to him yet.]

[whitewalls]

Our situation is a little odd. We're all from the same place, but we weren't brought from the same time, basically. Axel is from the future, from my perspective, so he's going through things I don't know about.

So from my end, Saix is still... not that nice, but Axel says that he ended up helping our cause.

[twinsightful]

Sounds like a very complicated story. [Idly. There's a lot to process with that.] I don't think anyone would blame you for not liking him that much then.

[whitewalls]

If he currently isn't a danger, then I can deal with him.

[ axel used to try to kill her and now they're buds, so ]

I just... need to see it for myself, I guess.

[twinsightful]

[There's a nod because that's a mood.] Good luck. It looks like we'll have plenty of time to sit around and wait, at least.

[whitewalls]

... hopefully it won't be too long of a wait.

[ she doesn't mind waiting as much as others because that's

her life? but still ]

[twinsightful]

Yeah. [...there's enough waiting for him at home. He'd rather bail sooner than later, too.]

But just in case? Pick some other things to take with you. [A gesture to the clothes once more.] They're here, so we may as well take them.

[whitewalls]

... alright. Will do.

[ she really can't argue against that logic. ]

Thank you.

[twinsightful]

Of course. [And he plops on the ground again to resume his work. Back to sketching.] Let me know if you want other recommendations.

[whitewalls]

I will.

[ she nods her head, and then she'll go back to poking at the other clothes. ]
