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.

All four of them go flying at least once for funsies... Estinien makes a nice recovery thanks to a 13 roll. While in the air, Prompto will try pelting her with an ice attack. He will land on his ass about it. Meanwhile Kashuu and Yasusada just end up on different sides of the field with some mild damage. Swapsies!

In response to the electric shocks, the group doubles down on their use of ice shields since that's about all they got that isn't metal right now, attempting to use these to help buffer damage from the electricity.

Yasusada focuses on some ice-based blast attacks in addition to swordplay.

Kashuu and Estinien will also ramp up their useage of fire. Kashuu will aim for wherever the largest concentrations of electricity happen to be in an attempt to catch and spark more of it. CHAOS!!! Estinien in the meantime will shift his focus into trying to disarm her of her blade.

[ The electricity arcs up the ice shields, protecting them from most of the blasts - the fire sparks and catches with another large blast, enough to make it so she has a difficult time putting up an offense. When she gathers herself to her feet, she seems to set her mind to something. And then disappears.

And then six of her surround all of you, equally viciously attacking with the sword.

Y'all ain't the only ones out here playing with illusions. They all do seem to be able to land hits, some using electricity too.

How do you plan to determine which one is real? ]

Hm bad. WELL FIRST Estinien, Yasusada and Prompto are going to be working together to create a Jumbo Shield because Yasusada, Prompto and Kashuu don't have experience with this and don't want to waste valuable energy on doubles. They're doing that turtle Roman defense maneuver where they surround themselves in their Ice Shell but leave enough of a gap to stab at any that come too close.

Kashuu will be leaning on this fun explosive combo of fire and electricity that he's found, aiming at the two closest to him any time they seem ready to launch a sparky attack. He'll also try to just straight-up flamethrower one of them though all of the heat puts his side of the shield at a disadvantage.

Yasusada will be doing the bulk of the shield maintenance, boosting it with metallic and fending off any clones that come too close. When/if he can, he's also going to try filling some of the crack that her ULT just made in the area with ice especially over where the illusions team is... help...

Prompto will be using his sunrise power to fire a flare bullet from the gun Damien gave him, aiming to blind some of the clones nearest to him for a short while, yelling "ILLUMINATE" when he does like he thinks he's from a 90s comic book. He'll also be using his sunrise power to boost Estinien's fire attack.

Estinien has experience fighting illusory clones, so he's going to be keeping an eye out during battle for the tiniest tells that might indicate which is real! He will also be attempting to use his scarlet powers more like an explosive rather than a flame blast (like a recreation of dragonfire dive) on the figure that seems most likely to be real, if he can tell.

[baalislife]

[ Between all of their plans, they'll be able to figure it out: hitting one of the illusions causes it to dispel, and Prompto's illuminate does something similar - it seems they aren't able to maintain themselves after taking any sort of real damage.

Estinien will notice too, that one of them is just very slightly faster than the others, and it will react accordingly - with pain - to fire. Soon enough, there's only the one (real) one left.

She doesn't seem to have the energy to summon them up again, staggering back. It seems like you might be done here. ]
