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.

[unfriendliest]

No. It looked like something you'd do.

[ sometimes tsuru is very predictable for someone who loves surprises ]

[preowned]

Ah... I'm not sure if I like that or not...

[ he has to consider whether his handiwork being recognizable is good or not in terms of surprises ]

[unfriendliest]

You should try something different. You're not very surprising anymore.

[ he might just be picking on tsuru tbh ]

[preowned]

[ HE LOOKS

SO ABSOLUTELY AND UTTERLY HORRIFIED

AS IF KARA JUST KILLED HIS MOTHER ]

[unfriendliest]

[ ookurikara knows exactly what he did but he's just

going to keep walking as if nothing is wrong ]

[preowned]

Kara-bou!!

[ HE RUNS AFTER HIM ]

I'll surprise you! I'll make you take that back!!

[unfriendliest]

How? I'm used to your surprises by now.

[ did he just fucking dare tsurumaru to surprise him

he really is drunk ]

[preowned]

Fine.

[ challenge

accepted

there is a new fire within him now. ]

I'm going to give you the surprise of your life!!

[unfriendliest]

Good.

[ he's going to deny this conversation ever happened tomorrow ]

[preowned]

[ that's unfortunate because he's already trying to come up with ideas

he is so ready to make kara attempt to kill him ]

[unfriendliest]

[ for some reason kara is confident that tsuru won't surprise him that much

rip ]

These go over there?

[ he's pointing with the bottles smh ]

[preowned]

[ rip ]

Uh huh... let's keep one though!

[unfriendliest]

[ he considers their collection of liquor ]

Which one do you want?

[ his vote is the sake or rum ]

[preowned]

[ his vote is all of them but he knows that kara isn't drunk enough to okay that

... he'll point at the sake. ]

That!

[unfriendliest]

[ good choice! nodding in satisfaction, kara sets the rest down, and hands the last bottle to tsuru. after a moment, he grabs two champagne glasses that aren't part of his tower so they don't have to drink directly from the bottle like heathens. ]

Here.

[preowned]

[ his eyes light up because, you know, he wanted fancy glasses and now he doesn't have to be the one to take them himself. win/win. ]

Banzai!!

[unfriendliest]

...You mean kanpai?

[ tsuru are you ok ]

[preowned]

[ there's a long pause ]

Kappa?

[unfriendliest]

...How much have you had to drink?

[ when the fuck did he become the chaperone ]

[preowned]

It's fine, it's a party!

[ the answer is

he has had more than enough to drink ]

[unfriendliest]

[ yeah ok he's not drunk enough to not recognize when someone's had too much ]

Maybe you should stop.

[ but he's not mitsutada so he won't, like, force it or anything ]

[preowned]

Is Kara-bou concerned about my alcohol intake?

[ he purposely avoids saying "me" since he thinks even drunk kara will swerve that one

saying it like this makes it sound more professional ]

[unfriendliest]

...Yeah.

[ because he worded that right and kara is just drunk enough, he'll admit it ]

[preowned]

[ once again tsuru is sad that mitsutada isn't here to hear that. ]

Then I'll be good, just for you!

[ it's kara's reward for being honest. ]

[unfriendliest]

[ yeah he'll believe that when he sees it ]

Are you going to dance?

[ because you're not dragging him out there ]
