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.

Right?! Same! It'd be highkey depressing for all of us!

[daggering]

[ clarte your amnesia

he reaches over and squeezes them on the shoulder. ] Hey, we've all got your back too, y'know.

[allomantic]

It could be... With any luck, they're all watching this, and they'll be able to give us more information about the best way to do what they suggested.

[brotograph]

I mean, I could see it for me. Can't see it for you. Unless you have a crush on the Queen.

[georeject]

Haha... thank you, Vax'ildan.

But yes, that's why I agree with the others' sentiments. There are things in my past that a part of me wishes I'd left buried, but I made the choice to face it if it meant helping my friends.

[daggering]

Dreamer's a dick.

[ the succinct version of this ] Wasn't even 'appeared to be' their mark, it was definitely their mark.

[georeject]

On who?

Rox's Letter

[brotograph]

[ Since he got a couple blessings to share, he'll turn his camera on and scroll through until he lands on pictures of letters.

Showing this one!

Here we are.

[looks away from clarte's canon issues about choosing their past self vs their amnesiac present self]

That's true, and it does concern me. On the other hand, the residents can't really do anything—good or bad—if they know nothing.

Roxana. The Queen of the Metallics and serving looks.

[brotograph]

Wait. She can hear this, can't she? [ PLEASE LET HER BE DISTRACTED AT THIS MOMENT ]

[dms]

[ bursts out laughing ]

[experimint]

[ she will just nod and read it out ]

"Princess Bubblegum: We are all OK. We can see you & receive letters, our side is similar to the first week. Prism has been broken before us, we can fix it. Dreamer & others here, they asked--" And there's something blocked out here. It continues, "Say what you know out loud, we’re listening & working. If you've found items that don’t belong to the Residents, leave them in the alley. We're trying something. You’re doing well. Tell Ms Marceline hello and hope this week is better! -KA & RN"

So, it goes with what others said.

[I think Zia and Cola are busy/sleeping so slaps this up for them to chime in later if needed]

Damien, Marceline, and I ended up in Riff's world, from his memories. Esti-san, Garou, and Emet were there too, I think together with Himawari? Since they're from the same world... we didn't see them at first, though.

We had to use "pins" to fight animal monsters, and get stamps on a card--I don't think that part was all that important, aside from learning how to fight and "sync" properly. But eventually we found Riff, or some illusion of him, being attacked. ...Ah, people from our world were around too, but we didn't talk to them.

[Thanks Marcy.]

Anyway, we had to rescue him, and it was a hard fight, but he helped us. But while we were fighting, we could hear his thoughts, and sense his emotions. [He looks down at his lap.] It wasn't good. I don't know how he's feeling now, but he was really suffering.

After that, all of us met up with Esti-san and Himawari's group. But Himawari and Riff... I think they might've been refracting? Or something like it. They turned into a huge monster, and it took all of us to defeat them and bring them back to themselves. They were having a really hard time--when we read their thoughts, it felt like they were "losing" and "drowning". We had to remind them who they were, and that everyone here was waiting for them.

It sounds like they got more memories back, after all of that.

[georeject]

... Yes, I believe she can.

[coughs lightly into their hand again]

[pura]

Whose letter was that, again? I only saw the piece of it that made it onto the creepy note we found in the meeting hall.

[brotograph]

We could change the petting zoo to a chocobo ranch!

[anyway, after mentioning the dreamer note above-]

Regarding the dreams which leave pig tattoos-- I've something of a working theory. Do confirm or deny if you are able to, but... it appears one is assigned a task after receiving the dream, and as far as I am able to tell, the... 'pig with a gun' tattoo is likely the result of not completing it.

Given their somewhat unnerving nature, and the messages they appear to convey, asking if we want to know how to get out... combined with Dreamer's note, I think it likely they are the source, even if it feels a bit on the nose. [dreamer sending dreams who would think such a thing.] In asking about them, I was told they were someone who only pretended to be nice, and who would probably dislike being ignored. [hence the. threatening version for not doing it.] In addition- that if the dreams are something they are pushing, their message is unlikely to be good.

However, it may still be worthwhile to see just what they are attempting to say, and I would not necessarily say to avoid completing the task if one is able.

[georeject]

... Garou mentioned something like that to me. [coughs into their hand] That their group had a task to cure people who were refracting, by trying to remind them of what was important to them.

[daggering]

Wonder if the Prism's trying to give a hint.

[ lol ] Maybe we should be matchmaking?

[aitou]

I brought Steel-san last week, but she didn't have much to say. [since Alli was working] We can always ask the others if they want to come.

[brotograph]

[ time to go perish some where ]

[daggering]

[ nods... vax's brows are knit, mouth pulled into a frown. their poor riff and bass... ]

's what Emet said, too. Said that those people... faded away, after, too, but they came back to normal by the end.

[aitou]

[Reaches out to squeeze their arm gently, supportive.]

[georeject]

[dryly,]

Is that why we had to rank each other's attractiveness last week?
