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 JIUQING, JESUS. Estinien's hand stops and he furrows his brows, not that Jiuqing can see that. ]

Fine -- fine, alright. I won't touch you, but I need you to calm down. Is there anyone you would let touch you, or would you rather simply follow a voice?

[ Reproachful because wowie, but also, deeply concerned. ]

[countermeasures]

[she goes still when he stops, and slumps over again, breathing deeply. calm down, huh.]

...I. [...] I'm sorry...

[she does need to get to the medbay. she knows that.]

I was just... just startled. We can go.

[vedrskogul]

You may have my hand if you need support, or walk on your own -- but I won't be letting you push yourself.

[ Let's go Jiuqing!!! ]

[countermeasures]

[she


looks down at herself.

and then, quietly:]

...I don't think I can walk.

[vedrskogul]

I would not mind carrying you there, if you'll allow it.

[countermeasures]

[she looks up at him. her expression is hard to see clearly, because she's covered in so much of this black gunk, but - she almost looks afraid.

...she nods, though.]

Okay...

[vedrskogul]

[ Me with what CYOA lore I have atm: WHAT THE FUCK HAVE YOU DONE TO ME

Here though, he just blinks once. Fear is not something he is a stranger to, but it's... been a long, long time since he's been looked at that way. Like from cornered prey.

His eyes flicker, and he hesitates, but -- he'd rather see Jiuqing taken care of, than to leave her as baggage for someone else, no matter how much people here are willing to help. ]

Here, now.

[ It's a bit difficult, but he gently holds out his hands, empty. A little smeared from your tar blood I guess, but. Voice low.

She can come to him......... and then get princess carried I guess when she allows it. ]

[countermeasures]

...

[this is estinien, she tells herself. he's only ever been helpful to her, here in the prism. she can trust him. she wants to trust him.

her hands still tremble when she reaches out to take his, but - she takes them anyway.

she's not wholly comfortable with it, and when he does pick her up it will become immediately obvious that she's pretty severely injured - the tarlike substance mixes in with fresh blood which just keeps coming from, like, all over - but she's trying to stay calm.]

...thank you.

[vedrskogul]

I won't move you more than necessary.

[ And he'll keep that promise, holding her only as much as is necessary and as smoothly as possible down the slope, towards the medical bay. No claws, no scales, no beat of darkened wings to shadow skies. He has a bad feeling but he'll keep it to himself.

Jiuqing's medical health first! He used his healing gumball on Vin so the more mundane way it is! ]

[countermeasures]

[



she passes out while he's carrying her. but hey, at least that probably makes her easier to carry?]

[vedrskogul]

[ She'll get a blanket put over her while she's passed out in the medbay God!!!! Sleep for the entire eight hours and get healed!!!!!!!!! ]

[countermeasures]

[lol]
