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.

Do you all have horns? Do you live with humans? Your jacket is cute.

[nonbelligerent]

Thank you.

No, and as a whole, no.

[preowned]

[ hmmm

he pets bob-chan ]

Do they know of you?

[nonbelligerent]

Yes. Our existence is definitely far from secret.

[preowned]

[ he makes a humming sound as bob-chan pecks him ]

Are you all so tall?

[nonbelligerent]

[smh bob-chan

he lets out a silent chuckle.]

No. We're just as varied in appearance as humans are, if more so.

[preowned]

[ he nods his head. ]

Are you the only one here?

[nonbelligerent]

Yes.

[if anyone else was here, they'd recognize him immediately.]

[preowned]

Ah, that doesn't seem too surprising... it looks like most people came here on their own.

[nonbelligerent]

It does seem that way. And you?

[preowned]

I'm here with Kara-bou.

[ he makes an annoyed expression ]

He looks like that.

[nonbelligerent]

Ookurikara?

[preowned]

Mmhm. We're friends!

[ ... there's a laugh ]

He wouldn't admit to it though.

[nonbelligerent]

He does seem like the distant type.

[preowned]

He is! But you have to just keep bothering him and he'll give in.

[nonbelligerent]

Is that what you did?

[preowned]

He can't resist me.

[ tsuru's also cheating by being a fellow dategumi sword but ]

[nonbelligerent]

I can understand that.

[preowned]

But you should definitely keep bothering him and then he'll like you as well.

[nonbelligerent]

I'm not sure if I want to "bother" him, exactly...

[preowned]

He'll still probably say it's you bothering him... Kara-bou is very cute like that, you know?

[nonbelligerent]

I'm not sure if "cute" is the word I'd use, but I know what you mean.

[preowned]

The prickly personality has its charm pointe. I heard that kind of thing is popular nowadays, isn't it?

[nonbelligerent]

Is it?

[preowned]

What's it like.... playing hard to get! If you're mean to me, it'll make the allure that much stronger!!
