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.

[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.]

[chevaliered]

[ oooooh passag. we love to see it. ]

[daggering]

[ peers over his shoulder to read it ]

[ktiseos]

[it's quickly turning into a treatise about the downfalls of heavy handed leadership and how structure is necessary within any group but if an excess of strictness is needed then the flaws are likely within the leadership itself, one must consider their own behavior and what may have led to this situation etc etc etc]

[daggering]

[ how did you manage to make this boring emet ]

Really let 'em have it, big guy.

[ktiseos]

[say that to his face it'll be a good time.]

I intend to. This is foolishness.

[daggering]

Yeah. See, think I've got the opposite approach. If you're gonna make me apologize for something, it's gonna be big.

[ aka

he's just about to cause a lot more problems than necessary instead of apologizing ]

[ktiseos]

Do not.

[vaxildan he will scruff you.]

[georeject]

[...]

I see you have many feelings, Emet-Selch.

[ktiseos]

I suppose so, yes. This is a ridiculous exercise, the outcome of which will change absolutely nothing.

...besides, mayhap, making the original situation worse.

[georeject]

Maybe she'll make everyone do this again if anything else gets damaged.

[ktiseos]

And it will be equally ridiculous.

[he's Sort Of keeping a lid on it.

he clears his throat and ends up coughing up a red elpis flower.]

[georeject]

... If you're annoyed, you can say it out loud, Emet-Selch.

[ktiseos]

Of course I am annoyed! What point is there to this-- it is only going to encourage further foolishness!

[he FULLY expects more of the prism to get wrecked in retaliation.]

[decisions]

They're treating us like we're children.

[ frowning as he aggressively slaps some wet papier-maché onto more papier-maché. ]

How the fuck else are we supposed to get out of here...

[ktiseos]

Oh, do not get me wrong. I doubt efforts in vandalism shall be particularly effective.

But neither is this.

[decisions]

Less lighting things on fire, I agree.

But still.

[ percy u r part of the problem (no he refuses to believe this) ]

Strongly worded letters might get the bin, though. I take it that's more cathartic than actually something you'll send.

[ktiseos]

I've yet to decide. Mayhap it ought to be heard.

[decisions]

[ he rolls a large piece of construction paper into a cone with a small hole at one end and a larger hole at the other, and tapes it shut securely before setting it down next to emet's letter.

your paper megaphone is here. ]

That should help.

[ktiseos]

Thank you, Percy. I will take it under advisement.

[fleshedout]

[Peering over his shoulder.]

...What are you writing, the great American novel?

[ktiseos]

What is America.

[fleshedout]

Big country. Also its a saying for "writing the greatest longest thing in the world for little to no reason".

[ktiseos]

Of course I've a reason-

[excuse him as he clears his throat of a couple red elpis flower petals. the reason is: doing this is keeping him from mclosing it.]

[fleshedout]

I mean, you could keep it concise...

[A sigh.]

Are you used to doing this sort of thing for your job?
