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.

[ why are you like this

kara heaves a sigh. ]

Fine.

[preowned]

[ YAY

he immediately goes to grab kara's hand again ]

Alright!

[unfriendliest]

[ regret thy name is kara

but he'll let tsuru drag him off i guess ]

[preowned]

[ IT'S FINE


although first he needs to drink more sake ]

[unfriendliest]

[ ...okay you know what kara will have another another drink too

he'll need it for whatever tsuru has planned next ]

[preowned]

[ yeah he definitely needs to be more drunk for this

tsuru just seems pleased by that though, he's having a great time before death ]

[unfriendliest]

What now?

[ he knows tsuru has something in mind, he always does

but he'll be satisfied if they're done dancing probably ]

[preowned]

Let's...

[ he pauses, sipping the sake. ]

Play a game.

[unfriendliest]

[ oh no ]

What kind of game?

[preowned]

[ hm.

he looks around the area, and then just starts walking, only pausing to check to see if kara is following him ]

[unfriendliest]

[ fine, don't answer

he'll meander after tsuru eventually ]

[preowned]

[ they're headed towards the face paints


he pockets some ]

[unfriendliest]

You're... stealing the paint.

[preowned]

Ah, borrowing! I'm going to bring it back!!

[ obviously? he's not a thief?

except for all of the alcohol he stole but that's different? ]

[unfriendliest]

And you're taking it... where?

[ are we going to do graffiti ]

[preowned]

We'll figure that part out.

[ this is a plan still in formation ]

[unfriendliest]

[ something tells kara he should be more concerned about this than he is

but there's a point that you just stop questioning tsurumaru and he's hit it ]

Right. It's part of the game, huh.

[preowned]

Yes, exactly!

[ he sounds glad. ]

You're catching on.

[unfriendliest]

[ glad, you say? well.

time to ruin it ]

I told you - you're getting predictable.

[preowned]

[ he's so taken off guard he just

fucking trips ]

[unfriendliest]

[ he lets tsuru fall, coming to a slow stop to peer down at him ]

Is it that surprising?

[preowned]

[ when he's this drunk, yes, it is

but he sputters, before getting back onto his feet ]

I surprised you already!!

[unfriendliest]

[ shrug ]

One time doesn't make you unpredictable.

[preowned]

You just have to wait for me to give you the biggest surprise of them all!

[ he isn't wrong ]

[unfriendliest]

[ thanks i hate this ]

If you say so.
