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.

[At least he's not Hisoka.]

Would you have known how to do anything with that one too though? Similar doesn't mean much.

[coastal]

[there's always a pro to not being hisoka

anyway lili is going to be led onto the dancefloor one way or another, but she's still frowning]

It could've meant something...

Whatever - you dragged me out here now, so are you going to teach me or not?

[twinsightful]

Of course I am. As long as you know how to count to three. [He's. Weirdly excited? He just likes knowing what he's doing leave him alone. He's going to take one of her hands, and also set the other at her waist.] Like this.

[coastal]

[remember that thing about not being hisoka as a pro

because in lili's brain that's a very hisoka move and she's just gonna swat at the hand at her waist]

Pervert!!

[twinsightful]

This isn't perverted, stop yelling! [But he draws his hand back and frowns?]

[coastal]

I didn't you give permission to touch me!

[A HAND IS FINE BUT WHY DOES HE HAVE TO TOUCH HER WAIST]

[twinsightful]

Then how am I supposed to teach you?! [Don't be impossible! But fine!! He moves that hand UP TO HER SHOULDER and gives her a pointed look. Better?]

[coastal]

[yes actually.

lili will just sigh quietly before nodding her agreement]

Better.

[twinsightful]

Okay. [One hand in hers and the other on her shoulder, he'll begin to count in his head to start leading her along.] But just so we're clear, I am not a pervert. You'll count to four on this one to keep up.

[coastal]

I can count...

[she's not a TOTAL loss]

But there's a lot of perverts here - don't touch me without permission and you won't be counted among them, that's all!

[twinsightful]

[He's still nudging her along. Count on, then.]

Is this considered permission then? [But also, and more importantly:] And should I be worried about anyone in particular?

[coastal]

[fine, she'll move bUT ALSO POUT]

... fine. You have permission. [if that's what he needs for their dance!!

also:]

Hisoka is one of the worst people I've ever met.

[twinsightful]

Thank you. [A teasing grin, but he's a good teacher probably and it's easy enough to move.]

We've been here for days and I've managed to avoid him. What's so bad about him though?

[coastal]

He's thrown me over his shoulder and carried me to the top of a mountain, tricked me into thinking I poisoned him, tried to pull me closer to him, and I think I sense something like bloodlust whenever he's near.

[it could also be regular lust but creepier she's not thinking about it]

I hate him.

[twinsightful]

[Bloodlust...Kaoru's going to spin them a bit as he mulls over all of that.]

You're correct, that man is a pervert. [Hisoka :|] Perhaps we should get you a bodyguard?

[coastal]

... are you offering?

[in the tone of

'I could take you on, probably']

[twinsightful]

Of course not. [He's a twink, there's no way.] But I have some suggestions.

[coastal]

At least you have some self-awareness.

[lili could probably suplex kaoru and she's thinking about it?]

Who do you have in mind?

[twinsightful]

[Thanks Lili.]

Ookurikara, maybe. He seems to know what he's doing.

[coastal]

[ . . . ]

He reminds me of someone....

[boy hot]

But I don't want to bother him either.

I also don't care to have men that close.

[kaoru's a twink, doesn't count]

[twinsightful]

[Kaoru being his own category of twink is very real and somehow he just?? Brushes off that Lili is inadvertently saying he's not a man? Sure.]

How do you feel about hyenas then? Or Milla?

[coastal]

Hyenas...

[she still looks tired]

Milla might be acceptable.

[twinsightful]

Grim Eyes. [Shrug.] Milla seems like she'd be willing to take on the job all the same. And she's not too bad.
