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.

[nightchild]

I was thinking more like... a wave of cherry blossoms to block her vision, things like that -- and staying away from private stuff.

[we're not busting out deda siblings here, unless]

I've never seen a kraken before, but I bet that could work too. Anything that could distract her sight and hearing.

[theampirequeen]

Can you turn invisible with your [ ... ] stuff? If she can't see where the lasers are coming from then we can have the kraken shoot lasers. It'd be cool.

[ this is not about things being cool, but also, it is ]

[brotograph]

[ he did in [redacted ] ]

Totes! I know I don't really look like it, but I have been around the combat block before.

[dms]

Release the kraken! I've got Marine, too, so we could throw in some water for added effect if we need to!

[aitou]

[HE IS CONCERNED if you die in the mini-event you die in real life]

I think it would be best if you covered us--or if you can get behind her. Kiyomitsu and I can come in from the sides, and Esti-san can face her directly?

[they can form a cross of doom]

[slashay]

I mean, she's a god, so we definitely shouldn't. Just assume it's gonna take all of us going all-out to take her out. ...Non-lethally.

[nightchild]

Thanks, Danny. The lasers are really helpful -- mixing in real and illusions could help confuse her more.

[aitou]

[He nods.]

It couldn't hurt--it doesn't seem like there's any limits on our colors right now.

[pura]

Whatever we decide, I still think it might help us to imbue those illusions with amber. Our goal is to calm her down, isn't it?

[slashay]

Ooh, nice, nice. I like that plan.

[brotograph]

Yeah, we can try. Amber is my other color. [ shrimp shield ]

TALKING DOWN GROUP

[fleshedout]

Hot Pants, Damien, Clarte, and Su Jiuqing are going to bring up the end of the group to try to get Steel to calm down after everybody has had their turn!

Damien will chew on his Imprint gumball to imprint the thought of "calm down" on Steel. Even if this only has a mild/moderate effect, Hot Pants will attempt to keep her disoriented but still if she seems like she's acting up by spraying her flesh-colored putty from her spray can into Steel's eyes and/or lasso around her arms and torso with a vine rope made from her Verdant powers. If Steel attacks during this time, Clarte will throw up barriers to protect the group with their color. When it seems Steel is in a state to listen, or at least is calmed down enough to talk, Jiuqing will step forward to give a level, calm speech of Friendship to try to appeal to Steel that anger and rigid justice is not the way to go, and they're All In This Together (cue high school musical music). The other two will also help with this Friendship speech where they can, just to let Steel know that she's not alone, they won't leave her alone, and with her help they can work together to solve whatever is happening in this place and help everyone.

Damien is just going to brood as he is wont to do. Broodmaster.

[theampirequeen]

It's just like, a giant tentacle monster. She wants a fight! We can give her one!

[ she also turns into a horrid tentacle monster sometimes but she does not feel like doing it today. she's still missing a leg. ]

[aitou]

[Just, honestly:]

I think even if we put full killing intent behind our strikes, she'll be fine.

[ktiseos]

Stop that-

[just SHOVING AT HIM.]

Take care that I do not turn my blade on you instead.

[nightchild]

[he nods]

...Yeah, that will definitely help. Want to join our group then? Stay back with us while Danny -- and whoever else is on combat's in front?

[dms]

That's a great idea! [ ... ] How many of us have amber, though?

[gogoghostpowers]

Uhhh...sure! I probably have some GHOST HUNTING EQUIPMENT that could turn me invisible, I could mimic that with colors!!

[ yes. this is his excuse and he's sticking with it. ]

[theampirequeen]

Yes! Put the whole thing like shes in the middle of the ocean and throw some water in for styles!!!

[ is she thinking about calming her down or just doing funny stuff. marceline ]

[nightchild]

Points for realism. I've got Verdant, so maybe I could make vines to make the tentacles feel solid? Should we just focus on the kraken?

[brotograph]

[ he loves you too yams ]

Roger roger! I'll cover you and see if I can get the drop on her.

[gogoghostpowers]

Ooooh, good point. I can shape 'em all sorts of different ways too, that'll keep things unpredictable.

[theampirequeen]

[ oh my god ]

... Yeah sure that! Use that to camouflage when you use your stuff!!

[daggering]

I know.

[ he'll be careful! in the way that vaxildan can be careful. it is not that careful we're probably going to get some chroma fried raven today but thats ok ]

That goes for you too, though. Electric on electric - I'm sure she's gonna give you hell.

[dms]

Maybe not the whole thing when she's got lightning, you know? But we can concentrate it around her, probably?
