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.

[forefall]

Please do not doom us so soon. We must keep some faith. We can be pleasantly surprised.

[foodbin]

[She pauses, and then just. Points to the fish blood pudding with a raised eyebrow.]

You sure about that?

[forefall]

[ She grimaces at the fish blood pudding. There can be nothing but disgust for it. ]

... Yes. Not everyone brought something, and if anything, he can... be taught to do better.

[ Probably. Maybe? ]

[foodbin]

[She blinks, glancing to Four and then back to the pudding.]

You know who made this? Who was it?

[forefall]

I saw him place it down, at least.

[ She points to Minato, wherever he is in all this. ]

I don't think he's hopeless yet.

[foodbin]

[Once she follows Four's gesture, she pauses, then gives a nod.]

You know, I'm not sure why I didn't assume it would have been him.

[forefall]

Well... it could have been the bird somehow.

[ Some birds eat fish? ]

[foodbin]

[...]

You mean the one without opposable thumbs?

[forefall]

He has a beak.

[ listen..... his profile said he could use something despite having wings?

four knows shit about birds. ]

[foodbin]

See, I'm trying to picture how someone would make any kind of meal from scratch with just wings and a beak, and I'm having trouble picturing it.

[forefall]

We're all here at some kind of banquet, aren't we? Stranger things can happen.

[foodbin]

I don't think a banquet is weirder than a cooking bird.

[forefall]

It's a banquet for stabilizing the universe with a bird who may or may not be able to cook.

[foodbin]

Somehow, a bird cooking still seems harder to believe.

[forefall]

... I suppose we'll have to agree to disagree.
