week zero: mingle
Week Zero
32 in Competition
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.
Welcome to your tutorial week mingle log! Please see all the links within the log to check out the new updates. In addition, your status page has been updated. In case you missed it, please report all item theft to this top-level where all comments are screened. Private conversations are also open and should be reported under the Week 0 top-level.
A mini-event will also be posted on Wednesday, June 5th, so please keep an eye out for that!

[unfortunately everything continues to be vague]
If I were to hazard a guess at the new limitations that have been placed on myself and the young one, we are not to be the ones making a case for you all to dissect.
Rather, the truth must be discovered by you all.
The young one and I may assist, but we cannot give freely.
no subject
You're talking about two different things though, aren't you? Related, to an extent, but... If I understand you, then you aren't allowed to present any information specific to this particular incident that may sway us one way or the other, correct?
But you also said you would be doing your own investigation into the corruption. If it has the potential to be a recurring threat or concern, then that information isn't strictly specific to this case, is it? There'd be no point in you investigating on your own if in the end, you wouldn't be able to tell us any of your findings anyway-- especially when you're meant to be our guides.
[ whatever. that actually means. enforcer? arbitrator? too early to say... ]
Or is it that you simply cannot present it publicly, without having had something be paid for it first?
no subject
For the second... in part, I believe you are underestimating the amount of investment that the young one and I possess in this matter. For the weeks that we dwelled here before all of you, we were still aiming to find answers. Your arrival has not changed our original intent to discover more, only made it more pressing.
At this time... the limitations on our speech are new, perhaps because anything we had wanted to say before today was permissible.
[but things sure do change when the core of the universe is causing a bit of a mess]

Julius just purses his lips a little before letting his features slacken. ]
... It must be uncomfortable. [ The whole silencing thing, and the method it's done in. ] And a bit of a ... large undertaking, when apparently the thing you're supposed to stabilize and fix is actively preventing you from doing the most you can to accomplish that.
[ ... ]
What sort of things do you prefer? As far as the lanterns go.
no subject
... perhaps there is a reason for it, and even if there is not, then it will not matter. For the only option that we have is resolution. I apologize that we cannot be of more immediate use but at the very least tomorrow... whatever is available for me to say or do shall be said and done.
I assure you the young one will proceed the same.
As for the lanterns... tea is fine. Or even a letter.
I will come when you call, as long as I am able.
