WEEK SIX: MINGLE
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-EVENT
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."
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!

CO-ORDINATION
PART 1
▶︎ 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. ]

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.]

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.]

but whatever.
he's going to be here in his corner with some... papier-maché because we have everything to make it here in the art room—glue, water, paper... just working away and quietly fuming. it doesn't really look like anything right now.
occasionally he coughs into his handkerchief a little and tucks whatever he's coughed up into his pocket. ]

PART 2
Enough of this– I am tired of it! With some time to reflect, you will come to see that I am correct– I am trying to spare you further disappointment!
[ Everyone’s phones go off at once - a notification that you’ve been blocked from the network. You’ll feel yourself start to be pulled out of place and suddenly, you’re in a dungeon. Stone walls and iron bars, the typical fare. But after a moment, the scene flickers and falters, cracking like a sheet of glass and a pink quartz archway opens nearby - whether you intend to or not, you’ll find yourself going through. It’s a similar feeling to the one you have on execution days, except this time, you’ll find yourself in the vast, open arena. It’s pitch black, dust hanging in the air like snow, but every hair on the back of your neck is standing up - the whole room is filled with the thrum of electricity. She seems surprised at first - to be in this place too. It hadn’t been the intention, but between the past few days, the pressure, the burning scarlet anger - the only thing she wants is to protect this place, you, and be met with nothing but refusal to give up - the sky crashes with thunder again. As you all arrive she changes stances. Holding her sword in her hands at the ready for all of you. You only have a moment to gather your wits before it begins. ]
Very well. If this is how it must be, I will enforce order by force.
[ You’ll feel the ground under your feet turn to … sand? Drawn in it are endless patterns, stretching off into the distance. The sky is colorless and gray, swirling, while a dark sun sears at the edges of your vision, blotted out with the stark outlines of landscapes and buildings - maybe familiar, maybe not. Torii gates, mountains, an endlessly tall palace, locations from around the Prism. You won’t have much time to admire though, because Steel is incredibly fast, and at times there even seems to be more than one of her. Lightning crashes across the arena, and her sword. It’s sharp. I’d try and avoid it.
▶︎ Strategize! You can’t win a fight without a sound strategy. Get together in groups of three or four and start brainstorming what you can do to help out. Are you a combatant? A healer? An excellent negotiator? Your skills are your power.
▶︎ But speaking of power, you will also find that while your color was harder to summon before, now it seems to be freely flowing from you. In this space, you’re able to create more than you ever thought you could, utilize your color in new ways and combine it with the color of others to help change things.
▶︎ And the biggest change is Steel’s disposition…she is very, very unhappy. Good luck fighting her. She won’t be easy to subdue, but if you work together perhaps you’ll be able to come up with a way to take her down. ]
