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.

I'm sure it'll be fine.

[ and even if it isn't she'd

still probably eat it ]

[stillstands]

[ um

oh now she's worried. ]

I hope so. Or at least edible.

[whitewalls]

You tasted it before you brought it, right?




[ RIGHT?? ]

[stillstands]

Yes!! But... y'know. Sometimes you try something that you've made and you think it's fine but other people don't, so maybe it's good maybe it isn't.

[whitewalls]

It'll be fine. You should trust your abilities a little more.

[stillstands]

Right. [ D o u b t. ] I have a friend who's very good at this kind of thing -- she can even make canned food taste good, so it feels a bit like I'm competing with that.

But, I hope you like it if you try it.

[whitewalls]

It's not really a competition. There are a lot of things my friends can do that I'm not as good at, but that doesn't make my efforts less important.

[ she will go grab a plate to give it a try though ]

[stillstands]

I know. But she's really good -- I want to try and do as well as her. It's important.

[ but she's kinda watching as Namine goes to try the food. while trying to make it seem like she's not watching. ]

[whitewalls]

Then keep trying and you'll be able to make something that satisfies you.

[ she is trying to act as if she doesn't notice the staring??

but she'll give it a try. how is it. ]

[stillstands]

If you try you don't succeed... yeah. I know how it works. I'll do my best.

[ jiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii

it tastes like the best thing namine's ever eaten, a joy, a delight, an eXPERIEN--no, it's not. It's fine? It tastes fine. It's not going to win an award, and there's only veg in there, and maybe she could have added more of it. But it's fine. ]

[whitewalls]

[ she'll just nod her head after the first few bites. ]

You did a good job.

[stillstands]

[ ah! ]

Thank you. I'll make sure I try it again and see if I can make it even better.

[ CHEF MIKI. CHEF MIIIKKKIIIIIIII. ]

[whitewalls]

I'll love to try it when you do, okay?

[stillstands]

Alright. I'll make sure to make it again, and I'll come find you.
