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.

Let go!

[preowned]

No! You're trying to leave me!!

[unfriendliest]

[ WHY ARE YOU SO NEEDY ]

So find someone else!

[preowned]

[ HE NEEDS ATTENTION ]

Is Kara-bou tired of me already....

[unfriendliest]

[ he stops struggling long enough to give tsuru an annoyed look ]

You don't even know what you want to do.

[preowned]

It's going to be a surprise!

[ ... ]

For the both of us!

[unfriendliest]

[ tsuru isn't going to let him be until kara agrees, is he ]

Then let's go already.

[ he's still annoyed but i guess he's accepted it ]

[preowned]

[ tsuru wins again

this time he just grabs kara's arms as he goes to make sure he doesn't try to escape again ]

[unfriendliest]

[ ugh ]

Did you figure out what to do with the paint?

[preowned]

I have an idea.

[ :) ]

[unfriendliest]

[ kara doesn't trust that smile at ALL but he just sighs ]

What is it?

[preowned]

We're going to paint.

[ and? ]

[unfriendliest]

...And?

[ c'mon tsuru he knows you've got more than that ]

[preowned]

Hm... where's a good spot, you think?

[ he ignores kara's prompting ]

[unfriendliest]

[ tsuru, ]

I don't care where.

[preowned]

[ in that case, he'll head in a direction


it's towards the kitchen again ]

[unfriendliest]

[ uh oh ]

We're not painting the kitchen.

[ HE HAS TO COOK IN THERE, TSURU ]

[preowned]

I don't think we have enough paint to do the whole kitchen...

[ he sounds interested in that idea though ]

[unfriendliest]

We are not painting the kitchen.

[preowned]

[ he waves his free hand dismissively ]

We can discuss that later.

[unfriendliest]

[ it's probably a good thing kara doesn't have his sword because he's definitely considering the merits of stabbing tsuru right now ]

I'm telling you now, we are not painting the kitchen.

[preowned]

[ tsuru would 100% deserve to be stabbed right now ]

Wouldn't it feel more welcoming?

[unfriendliest]

No.

[ he's already banned most people from the kitchen anyway ]

[preowned]

Eh...

[ that's fine, since painting the kitchen isn't the current plan anyway

but once they're there he's going to start digging through the fridge, muttering to himself ]

No... not that...

[unfriendliest]

...What are you looking for?
