WEEK SIX: MINGLE

[saturations]

MINGLE

A bittersweet victory, isn't it? You solved everything this past weekend. No mysteries were left unsolved, and now things seem to have settled down. Of course, there's surely plenty on your mind by now. As always though, time marches on. You must keep moving ever onward.

At the far end of the park in the central node, you'll hear the faint sound of rumbling as something new appears. The Prism is opening itself to you all, showing you what it's capable of, and providing you with space to explore.

For those of you feeling particularly daring, you are free to explore a bit further on your own. But even before you leave the apartments, perhaps you'd like to pay a visit to the gumball machine in the lobby.

Strange. Some of you may have gained or lost a color since this time last week, but it's not like many of you will ever tell. In fact, many of you are very, very bad at sharing. Many of you continually suppress your own emotions whether for the sake of others, or in order to go unnoticed. It's hard to say what your motivations are sometimes. This week, however, the suppression... isn't exactly for the best. You may feel a strange twinge in your chest, a slightly uncomfortable tickle in your throat, and then before you can stop it, you find yourself coughing up a handful of flowers. All different shades, all representing your hidden feelings, this disease takes its hold and infects everyone in the Prism. Too bad the timing isn't always the most convenient either.

Finally, as always, you may contact the residents at any time. They may even have something new for you to do.

Welcome to your week six mingle for chroma!

Things of note:
► This week's effect is hanahaki! Yup. For all suppressed emotions characters may be feeling, after some time they'll find themselves coughing up flowers in different colors representing those feelings.
► The flowers can be any type you want for the aesthetic. It can be one or two flowers, or it can be a lot of them. Whichever way you wish to play it is fine.
► Moida submissions continue to be open!
► More to come... keep your eyes and ears open.

Do you craft?

[ Just leaning his lance against the ground as he asks, idly watching out for classic jurassics. ]

[chevaliered]

Doc's got a bit of experience with that anyway, so it wouldn't be the biggest surprise she's ever had.

[decisions]

Arrows, knives, my own rifles and ammunition. I'm quite good with delicate objects as well, jewelry, casings, all that, but it takes more time than the former.

[9mon]

You want me to eat dust?

[He's laughing.]

[9mon]

You can be cursed too?

Um... do you feel... un-cursed?

MINI-EVENT

[saturations]

MINI-EVENT WEEK SIX

A text arrives in the afternoon.

The art room. At once.

As you arrive there, a huge variety of arts and crafts supplies are neatly arranged for all of you. Paint, glitter, paper, scissors, exacto knives. Steel is sitting on her cushion, looking displeased, hands tightly on her lap. She only moves to raise a hand to her mouth occasionally, suppressing the rough cough and flicking away the flower petals. Hiding them behind her sleeves.

"You will apologize for the way you have behaved as of late."

This is one of two mini-event prompts that will go up today! The second one will go up at 3 PM EST / 12 PM PST. Rather than divide into groups, you may jump into any of these or all of these, and may participate in whichever prompts interest you. Please submit to the turn in comment by Friday, 12 PM EST. We want to see at least 5-10 comments from you, but more than that, we want you to be able to describe a way in which your character meaningfully participated in the tasks. You'll get a prize for your individual contribution, but there will also be rewards and benefits if the group as a whole completes all these tasks and does a good job with them.

Your NPCs may pop up every now and then, but they will not be around for the entire duration of the event.

You can respond to this when it goes up, or later on. If you need someone to tag out a task with you, pop into the coordination channel on discord and ask!

QUESTIONS

[saturations]

[ steel doesn't seem much in the mood for questions, but you can. try. ]

CO-ORDINATION

[saturations]

PART 1

[saturations]

[ Well? You have your assignment.

▶︎ Create an arts n’ crafts apology for fucking up the Prism. This is your home? Be sincere.

▶︎ Or don’t, of course.

▶︎ You could always choose to do something else. Doesn’t it just make you so fucking angry, that you’re being treated like this? Like children who were being naughty? You could leave this room. Maybe show her how much you want to go home. Leave this shithole.

▶︎ You’ll find your color is so much harder to reach, especially when you’re near Steel. What was becoming practiced and easy seems far away now. Color summoning is not possible during Part 1. ]

[countermeasures]

I don't believe I have anything to apologize for.

[hello? what the hell did she do wrong? she's innocent.]

[vedrskogul]

...I'll take something of the latter.

[ We have our deal then. ]

Any target in particular you were eyeing?

[baalislife]

Is that so? Then you may show the others how it is done.

[ wow, no rewards for being a good student. ]

[georeject]

I'm sorry, Steel...

[did clarte even fuckin do anything? debatable but they're apologetic anyway. :pensive: ]

[aitou]

[sits here and nods along with steel as if he doesn't have to participate and is also sternly reprimanding you]

[fleshedout]

Do you not know who exactly caused the damage? You have a dungeon...

[Like. To Hot Pants this just seems like PUNISH EVERYONE JUST TO COVER BASES]

[countermeasures]

[dice maiden has forsaken me. with a roll of lower than 10 jiuqing was going to be really rude. with a roll of 13? she glowers at steel, but nods once and turns away to get to work...

...but she does roll her eyes once her back is turned. binch.]

[baalislife]

If you truly believe that, then you may show it through your actions. Words mean little.

[chevaliered]

[ you're not his mama, steel.

crow does have a whole load of glitter and seems to be pouring it into what looks like a papier maché ... orb? of some kinda?

this is fine. ]

[ktiseos]

[looking at today's effect, looking at this, boy this is fINE.

anyway local passive aggressive man is definitely writing something. is it an apology? is 'i am sorry that you seem to feel this is an acceptable or effective way to handle your displeasure' an apology? is continuing to write about the ineffective censure of others and best practices for the common whole really, truly, any kind of apology.

this is what's keeping him from just going off about it. for the moment.]

[decisions]

[ passes him some finer, harder to wash out of ur clothes glitter ]

[chevaliered]

[baalislife]

[ stop praying for grandma she's gotten too strong and has broken out of the hospital

she has to bend slightly when a cough racks through her, resulting in flower petals filling her palm.]

You must also participate.

[chevaliered]

[ oooooh passag. we love to see it. ]

[georeject]

What sort of action are you looking for? We're... making some sort of craft for this, correct?

[countermeasures]

[anyway.

jiuqing is painting the central node, and it's a very artistic looking dead tree in her painting! but.

she's like. subtly including words hidden in the scenery - you'd really have to be looking to see them, because she blends them in with the painting itself very well.

it reads:

sorry this place is so awful we want to change everything about it and leave as quickly as possible.]
