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.

[preowned]

[ he still looks disappointed for like five seconds

except he can't keep the grin from appearing on his face, so it kind of ruins the act. ]

I'll give you the biggest surprise you'll ever have. So just wait for it, I won't disappoint you.

[cyclists]

[there is a soft laugh at that]

I have grown accustomed to waiting.

I am sure that this will be a surprise worth waiting for.

[preowned]

Well...

[ the hand that's on lune's will shift, so that his fingers can pinch the end of their glove.

and he'll move to pull it off. ]

[cyclists]

[oh.

lune will allow this to happen but.]

Oh? Are you assisting me in disrobing already?

[preowned]

If you need help with that, let me know. I'm quite good at it.

[ the glove slips off, and he'll curl his fingers around it. ]

I'll be keeping this as a souvenir.

[cyclists]

Ahahaha, if the young one is not able to assist me, I will keep your offer in mind.

[except there's a curious pause at that]

Hm? You wish to claim a token from me?

[preowned]

[ he does not think lune will actually accept the offer considering they are obviously keeping their identities a secret, but he'll still smile regardless.

and then lune asks the question, and he'll shrug as he tucks the glove away. ]

Can I not?

[cyclists]

It would appear as though there is nothing to stop you.

However I cannot help but feel as though the exchange is rather uneven.

[lune wants something? in return? though now that their hand is ungloved, they'll open and close their bared hand]

[preowned]

[ he glances down at their hand

hm ]

Is there something you want in particular?

[cyclists]

[it's too easy]

Surprise me.

[preowned]

I was hoping you'd say that.

[ he knew they would, considering everything how the rest of this conversation went.

but tsurumaru will consider it for two seconds before slipping his necklace off. once it's in his hands, he'll press into onto lune's open palm. ]

[cyclists]

[what the fuck]

My...

This is a surprise.

Is it acceptable for me to hold onto this?

[TSURU'S ACCESSORIZING?]

[preowned]

[ and that's exactly why he chose it

even if his neck feels naked now. ]

You need to take very good care of it. A crane can only do so much to keep itself beautiful, so I'm trusting you with this.

[cyclists]

[interesting...]

I assure you that you are just as beautiful as when we had first met.

[i'm going to shoot lune myself actually]

May I ask for your assistance in wearing it?

[why would lune be able to put a necklace on by themselves]

[preowned]

[ he is preening at the compliment. tsurumaru is pretty and he very unfortunately is aware of this fact. it's bad.

but he'll take the necklace from lune's hands and will reach forward, only to pause since he technically needs to reach into the hood since it's a choker. ]

[cyclists]

[oh.

wow they didn't think this through.

lune will also pause.]

... hm. To use magic to apply it would be rather anti-climactic.

[what's a pair of stupid grandpas to do]

[preowned]

Ahaha...

[ he'll just grab lune by the wrist, lifting it up so their arm will be higher in the air. tsuru then just traps the necklace around it. ]

For now. We'll still need to put it on you properly later... something like this should be seen more thoroughly than this.
