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.

[unfriendliest]

...We could go see the horses?

[ what do you want from him!! ]

[preowned]

[ HE WANTS TO TAKE AS MUCH ADVANTAGE OF A DRUNK OOKURIKARA AS HE CAN

but he brightens up immediately at the suggestion ]

Horse duty!! Ahaha, it's better than field work...

[unfriendliest]

Horses are more surprising than working in the field.

[preowned]

Right?! And I'm not very suited for field work, you know... I get really dirty.

[ he is completely ignoring the fact that you can also get dirty dealing with horses but

it's fine ]

[unfriendliest]

We all do. You just complain more.

[preowned]

[ he shakes kara's arm ]

But it's different for me! It stands out so much in white clothing! People might not notice dirt on your clothes, but they'll be able to spot it on mine right away!!

[unfriendliest]

Then wear a different color.

[ it's not that hard tsurumaru?? ]

[preowned]

What? Why would I do that?

[ he is so genuinely confused by this obvious solution ]

[unfriendliest]

...So your white clothes don't get dirty?

[ TSURU?? ]

[preowned]

But then I wouldn't look like a crane...

[ what about his ELEGANCE, kara ]

[unfriendliest]

[ why would he care about that ]

Then you'll have to settle for being a dirty crane.

[preowned]

[ dksgsldgkdsgd ]

Ah... it feels as if Ookurikara just stabbed me...

[unfriendliest]

Clothes can be washed. You'll be fine.

[ this is kind of funny actually ]

[preowned]

You're so uncaring! I'm practically in tears here!!

[ he's not but

he's definitely whining ]

[unfriendliest]

You shouldn't slack off while everyone else is working.

[preowned]

But I do the work...

[ he just also

goofs off while doing it and sometimes gets distracted

but it does get completed in the end ]

[unfriendliest]

[ kara knows that

but it won't stop him from dragging tsuru anyway ]

You get distracted too easily.

[preowned]

But it's so dull otherwise... I feel my heart beat more and more slowly every time I have to pick up a broom...

[unfriendliest]

You'll live.

[ anyway ]

Are we going to see the horses or not?

[preowned]

[ he won't ]

Yes! Come on, Kara-bou!

[ thanks for reminding him because he was

getting distracted again ]

[unfriendliest]

[ yeah he thought so

he'll just lead the way to the horses then ]

[preowned]

[ this is fine

he will just happily go along with him, and it's a good thing he isn't leading because he'd just force them in a different direction in a spur of the moment decision ]

[unfriendliest]

[ luckily for both of them kara has kind of a one track mind when it comes to animals

so when they get there he immediately goes to offer the first one he sees a friendly pat ]

Do they have names?

[preowned]

Mm... we should name them together, right?

[ he points to the one kara is petting. ]

What about him?

[unfriendliest]

...Shunsoku?

[ this is a terrible name and he doesn't even know if it fits this horse but it sounds nice?? ]
