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.

MINI CYOAS

[chevaliered]

[ blows a kiss to the keepers and maintainers of the handy mini cyoa list. what's being investigated this week, folks? anything to update us on? ]

[nightchild]

Kumon-kun, Danny, and I explored the anime store last week and found letters from Ma-kun and Ryu-kun. They were addressed to Bubble-chan and Kumon-kun.

[he nods at them both, here's the cue if they wanna share (also I'm on mobile)]

They mentioned that the prism was broken and they were trying to fix it, and that they were with Dreamer and the others.

[9mon]

Yeah, I've got it here.

[He has his letter on him right now!

Hyodo, thak you for the gifts nd letter. Sorry, cat write much. Or read? Wy? We're here & OK. There are some others here too, but █████████. We can sɘe some of what's happening and receive things through the alli. Can yu try sending yello scarf etc? I don't know how the grism is broken, but there's time to fix it. Don'ot give up. Say hello to Bin & Wagahai for me. Sorry. -Nardo & Ass. PS, it's sakura blossums!]

[chevaliered]

Ah, I think that part about sending the scarf is sorted.

[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.

[aitou]

[Just to chime in:]

Kiyomitsu brought me a letter from Buzen. [...looks around the room and waves at the ceiling]

[nightchild]

Mm, he wrote one to Mete-chan, too.

[itsuki blows a kiss at the ceiling, that's for you fam]

[brotograph]

Last week, a few of us went to the mountain to check it out. We got hit with a storm and hid in a shack for a few hours. While there, we found a bunch of letters. Aymeric found one for himself and one for Meteion. Hot Pants found a couple. Rox and Doc both found one each. I'll let them share their own letters if they want, but I can share Roxana's if you guys don't think she'll mind. I still have the pictures of them.

[disestablishment]

I do not think she would mind, no. Mine and hers are two of the number of letters with blacked out portions, thus 'twould be best to share.

"Sir Aymeric, thank you so much from all of us. Must be brief. Something in the prism has been broken for a long time. Try talking to everyone you can and see the whole picture."

Here is where there's a stretch of black, then the letter continues: "If you have items that don’t belong to the Residents, try leaving them in the alley. Scarf, hat, et cetera?" There is a part here personally for Mistress Hot Pants, which I will omit.

From Ser Ryunosuke and Ser Kazuma.

[ He has the physical letter if people want to see! Anyway: ]

I've shared the letter to those who mentioned harboring items unrecognizable to the residents on our side, from our last conference.

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.

[gogoghostpowers]

[ squints ]

Was that...written the same day we couldn't read? Or did it get messed up like that other note we got from the dead a while back?

[countermeasures]

[jiuqing digs through her bag to pull out a medical textbook, opens it up, and then pulls out a letter, which she had hidden between the pages.]

This is what Sir Chang wrote to me...

"Please let the others know I'm sorry, but I'm alright. Don't overwork yourself - get some of them to help. Unfortunately the dead disrupt broken Prism by visiting the Res. on the living side, or trying to meet living, and dead messages must be brief. Your meeting this week helped us catch up, start putting things together, but we'll try to get what we learn to you. Focus on restoring Res. memories for now? Things do get to us - we receive what's left in the alley and in the box, and can see you all sometimes. So we'll help how we can."

[she tucks it back in between the pages, shuts the book, and puts it away.]

[chevaliered]

Estinien and I checked out the Renne Faire the other week. Aside from getting put in the dunk tank by a bunch of multi-coloured animals, we found a few letters.

Estinien had one from 9S, I got one from Wicked, and for some reason we also found one that was meant for Percy, so ... he's got that one now. Ask them about it for the contents, if they want to share.

[ ... ]

Couple of important things from my letter: Wicked mentioned that they're fading away wherever they are. Talking to each other is helping them, but being remembered also helps so... time to start doubling up on that duty.

Also, if you're a twink she's gonna beat your ass but I'm honestly not sure which twink she's referring to specifically, so. Brace yourselves I guess. [ his money is on damien or itsuki. ]

[brotograph]

[ looks at Damien ]

[chevaliered]

[ be nice to him. ]

[decisions]

The back alley wall should hopefully help with the idea of remembering those on the other side. Perhaps we can all head over there and leave some messages as a group in full force?

[chevaliered]

More messages isn't going to hurt, and if it helps them then why not?

[gogoghostpowers]

What's she got against twinks?!

[ let it be known that Danny, as a nicktoon character, has no idea what a twink is, but he was also once canonically called a twink. he doesn't wanna get his ass beat. ]

[georeject]

In the skate park last week, Nogiku, Kazunari, and I found graffiti art of a purple eye, a red droplet, a silvery crosshairs, and an orange vase. By looking at them through our devices, we saw names: Dreamer, Revenge, Scout, Thinker. Presumably, those are their symbols and colours.

We also received a text message, which we took a screenshot of.

[here.]

And I found a letter to me, from Kazuma and Ryunosuke.

[which they'll also show.]

[chevaliered]

... Ass Kass.

1/2

[gogoghostpowers]

THAT'S ASS KASS?!

[ktiseos]

Vax and I investigated the central node last week, to check on the archways. We heard the sound of something crumbling, and found what appeared to be the remnants of an archway at our feet-- then something in the sky, almost seeming to distort it. After it passed, a note blew by and caught on me, which-- we suspect was written by Dreamer. We found what appeared to be their mark upon us afterward, though it faded within a few days.

And in that message-- it appears they wish for refraction. Think it ought to be embraced. They made mention of their own death at another's hands, and how this somehow altered their perspective. Combined with the message Clarte has already shown, from one who regretted going along with Dreamer's ideas... I think it goes without saying that we ought not take heed of their words too readily.

[just a preemptive warning, before he continues:]

In the end of this note they wrote: "Blood is the only way out, it must be," repeatedly. Over and over, overlapping itself to where it was nigh illegible, frantic.

[daggering]

Dreamer's a dick.

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

[gogoghostpowers]

Oh, cool, that's not creepy at all.

Man, if Dreamer went nuts after they died, does that mean the dead are all dealing with them right now? Yikes. I wish we'd found out about Dreamer being cuckoo earlier.

[pura]

... A crumbling archway, that looked like it had been drained of all color?
