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.

[hewwo clarte does not plan on waiting this out but before we all immediately just go to beat steel up maybe—]

So... what exactly is she hoping to accomplish with this? Kill us?

[graverot]

Nah, I don't think so. I think this is what we sometimes call a temper tantrum.

Anyway, I'd step in if I thought that's where this is going, but I don't think it would be a bad idea to stand up to her.

[georeject]

With words or violence...? Or both?

[graverot]

Well, I've talked with my words to Steel over the years a lot...

[so. probably violence tbh.]

It can't hurt to try to talk to her but my guess is she needs somebody to stand up to her a little bit, too, or she's not going to listen.

[georeject]

[they nod.]

... I think it'd be good for Steel to realize that she's not in charge of us. Which I don't mean badly, but... it feels like she's trying to carry too much responsibility.

[graverot]

Yeah.

[a smile.]

I think Steel feels a lot of responsibility to keep all of you safe. I don't agree with the way she's handling it, but if she sees that she can't stop you from acting by force, maybe she'll realize that isn't her job.

[this is the anime/vidya way of beating someone with the power of friendship. the beatdown is a necessary part of the friendship process.]
