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.

Okay, our ideas for a plan so far—

Some people think we should distract or restrain her, at least to make fighting her more easy. People have brought up creating illusions of her home or things from her memory...?

Then, fighting her—Shale supports this. The idea isn't to seriously hurt her, but make her realize that we're stronger than she thinks. That as much as we appreciate her help, we don't need her to protect us. That this isn't her responsibility, given that she takes too much onto herself right now.

And, of course, if anyone can assist with creating armour or weapons for those who need it, that'd be helpful.

[...]

Then... I suppose we should reinforce this with words or nonviolent action? Um, hug her, maybe? Let her know that she's not alone, anyway. Or put her to sleep, as Itsuki has volunteered.

[to cover what was discussed in coordination: maybe like 1-2 groups for distracting her/slowing her down, 1-2 groups for combat, and then 1-2 groups for talking it out, distinctions between groups not necessarily firm.

and then whoever doesn't want to actually bother facing steel (marceline) do whatever in the safe zone over here...]

[chevaliered]

Like I've said, I've got illusions and I can fight so if you need a distraction on the go, I've got you covered.

[ smooches jan bless you for this summary ]

[dms]

I can help with the illusions, but I think fighting is out of my skillset.

[slashay]

Fighting's what I'm made for, so.

[He will volunteer for combat group...]

[aitou]

[Nodding!]

I have metallic and amber this week, along with marine... so maybe we can strengthen weapons?

[daggering]

[ this is like winters crest!!! like christmas!!!! sometimes you are simply an adrenaline junkie

anyway i established running off directly into danger but we're coming back for planning. vax is strapping a knife into his belt. ] I'm gonna try and wear her down, and I can distract her for combat, too. Anyone else wants to go to the front lines, count me in: I can strike from above.

But... I could use as many daggers as you can make me, if you can help. [ hey my boos with metallic and scarlet ] Don't have a way to blink them back and I need to throw them.

....aaand, while we're at it - [ pulling a glass dagger out from where he usually keeps them, he holds it out. ] Can anyone give me some heat? [ my flametongue daggers ]

[slashay]

[Holding a hand up, where he's got a flame cradled in his palm.]

Here, here - I got all the heat you need!

[highrisk]

[ damien can make fire, that's the easiest thing to do!! yay ]

[ktiseos]

You will have my blade wheresoever it is needed. I've ample experience in taking the worst of an opponent's blows.

[highrisk]

Think I can make weapons, but don't expect anything else from me.

[ he is so put-upon already..... ]

[aitou]

[he's so proud of you, grumpypants]

[decisions]

I can offer combat or distractions. Less in the way of illusions and more in the way of being a nuisance. If we want to tire her out, then we can take a two-pronged approach, perhaps with ranged attacks to wear her out a bit while others get in close with their speed.

[aitou]

That's a good idea. She's really fast and strong, so we'll need to divide her attention.

[nightchild]

I can help with illusions of Inazuma and creating or strengthening weapons with Metallic.

...I can try putting her to sleep, but I wouldn't rely on it. Anyone with a strong enough willpower can resist it. [also steel is a God,] Better to try and speak to her first -- get her to see reason so that she stops.

[nonviolent action team where u at]

[allomantic]

I can fight, but I can distract her, too - if nothing else, I can repel metal, so I should be able to stop her from hitting too hard if she uses her sword.

[theampirequeen]

[ im making this a canon suggestion for fun ]

If we've got access to home stuff, I can shapeshift, but I dunno if I can turn into anything big right now. But I could probably help distract like that.

[ make her be a kitten ]

[georeject]

... I don't suppose we know if Steel is partial to small animals...?

[aitou]

[Oh, though--]

Be careful with the illusions, though. We don't want to upset her even more.

[brotograph]

Flip a coin and put me where it's needed between distractions and fighting. Just going to need a weapon... sword or a gun. Maybe even a flare gun? I can offer a little boost as well.

[countermeasures]

I want to try to talk with her - to show her that she's not alone. That she can work with us, rather than having to look after us.

[that being said - ]

But I can reinforce weapons or clothing for defense, if need be, and I think I've figured out how to use verdant to heal. If you get hurt, call for me. I'll help you.

[fleshedout]

I'll try to help talk her down if need be. For the time being, I'll try to slow her down...maybe a lasso or something? Either way, I'll be here to help get her calm.

[pura]

I'm not any good at fighting. [Point blank.] So I'll lend a hand with weapons and plotting a distraction. Let's... just be careful not to upset her past the point where she will listen to reason.

[petalbursts]

I can boost my speed and dart around her. I'd be able to keep up with her speed, at least. And I can carry someone with me, get them up close.

[ something like this! ]

I was talking with Vin and Percy about it. It'd help serve as a distraction for everyone else to get into place, too.

i'm here

[vedrskogul]

[ What the Christ ]

Combat is all well and fine for me, but suppose I have an invisibility gumball if anyone would like to attack her unawares for an opening.

[georeject]

[in terms of groups that we'll need to throw at the mod tl:

DISTRACTION - Kazu, Itsuki, Marceline, Nogiku, Ruby
DISTRACTION OR COMBAT - Crow, Vax, Emet-Selch (tank), Percy, Vin, Prompto, Danny I assume
FIGHTING - Kashuu, Yasusada, Estinien
NONVIOLENT ACTION - Jiuqing + Clarte (agreed to be a group together), Hot Pants

DOING THEIR BEST BUT NOT GOING NEAR STEEL - Damien

anyway sort yourselves]
