—THE SECOND WEEK—
On this fine Monday morning, all facilities have been cleared of damages (the washing machine, if we need to be specific). It is almost like none of the wild events that transpired last week ever happened. For some of you, it's easier to remember — your rooms are emptier than before, after all. In the end, the only remnants of those gone are your memories of them.
There is something off starting this Monday... If you stare at a spot for too long, the space distorts or pieces of it shift out of place for a second, then it's gone in one wink. Maybe your eyes are playing tricks on you? Maybe you need to sleep...? You don't feel weary. You feel fine.
Again, this week, the seers encourage participation in spite of tragedies and oddities. It's at the park — a favorite place for the NPCs. For this week, there are no white tables and tea sets, but instead tables of gardening tools. Uniforms are provided, for there are hive boxes (they're also called brood boxes) around the park.
OUTSIDE 🐝F EDEN
(a gardening and beekeeping workshop)
There are many things you can plant from herbs to flowers, which characters may find they grow at a faster rate. For beekeeping, characters will be instructed on how to care for bees and harvest honey! Yes, if you were wondering, these are the same bees from last Wednesday.
Instructed by whom? Well, this is the kicker, you must befriend or subjugate a bee, then they will help you by pollinating your plants and giving you guidance with the hive boxes.
How to tame them? The NPCs have provided the bees' favorite flowers... But if that doesn't work, they also provide tiny cuffs to arrest them.
Some observers may stray as they very well please, but you can talk to them for whatever reason.
MINGLE SUMMARY
- Locations have been cleaned up! However, if you stare at a spot for too long, it gets weird and distorts. HUh.
- NPCs are hosting a Outside of Eden event, which is a gardening and beekeeping event. Plant flowers, grow greens, harvest honey, and care for bees! But... Yeah. You have to get a bee buddy first.
- NPCs may also be spoken to on the mingle or privately at the church.
- Powers are still in effect. Consider using what you have for fun when you find the chance.
IMPORTANT STUFF
- Mini-CYOAs are OPEN. When we reach our cap for Mini-CYOAs, the thread will be frozen. We highly encourage organizing so no two groups or more hit the same location.
- Confessional is still OPEN until Friday evening.
- Most importantly, murder proposals and pathing submissions are OPEN! They will close on Tuesday pst morning/est noon.

Otherwise, they will be idly cleaning up around the park, organizing books on the shelves in the library, just kind of standing there totally swarmed by bees, what have you. ]

The stall they seem to be running is full of designer shirts! And by designer shirts, I mean so far a lot of it is just galaxy cat shirts. So, so many galaxy cats. However, if you happen to have a bee friend with you, they will hold up this t-shirt to hand over. ]
Good work on acquiring a bee, this one has heard that clothing makes for a welcoming reward. We had many different designs in mind but were highly encouraged with this one. May you flourish together.
[ But, if you are without a bee or simply just curious of the rest of the wares, they seem to tilt their flames with the feeling like you're being observed quite closely... ]
Would you be interested in a shirt that speaks personality?
[Choose wisely.]

The thought of growing some stuff is appealing to her right now. It could be soothing, and not too taxing for her. The injuries she got were healed, but she doesn't really take her chances, she's going to take it easy today.
She'll try to invite others to come here, though:]
Come over here. Help me plant these flowers.
[It'll be good for your nerves!]

[ Sebastian is in the park, not thinking too hard about what just happened here. He is, as usual, doing his best (and, also as usual, not succeeding), trying to entice a bee into being (beeing) his friend and gardening guide by offering it a sunflower, but then getting nervous every time it gets too close and either running away or jumping backward and dropping the flower. ]
b. gardening
[ Eventually, by the grace of god or whatever the fuck, he's finally got things worked out with that bee ("his bee-f-f", I would write, if it didn't look like another beef eden joke) and he's down on his knees in the dirt, having exchanged his usual white gloves for gardening ones, planting a row of a few white chrysanthemum starts. They don't look like much, but he looks proudly at them anyway as he pats down the soil around the last one. ]
Can anything grow that much in a week, though...?

The song sounds like this, but with lyrics like this. It's cacophonous.
When he is done, he lets the guitar hang at his torso as he holds his arms out welcomingly. Come to him, bees. Perch on him. Cover him. He is Ready. ]

[ sylvain is currently trying to recruit bee friends. (the first of whom he'll name beelix, just ftr. unless they already have names? is it rude to name these bees? he doesn't know.) anyway, if you sees your character looking glum from the past week's events, he'll invite himself to tuck a flower behind their ear. he stands back to proudly survey his work. ]
You look great, but feel free to take that out if any bees come after you.

MINI-EVENT
[ Good morning, sinners. Hope you've had a good breakfast! Or are currently having one, at any rate, because you'll be stepping out of the diner or walking out of your inns to something weird... again. ]
Good morning. You will discover today that some locations have been altered to suit some voiced desires. Today's activities are less engaged, more for the focus of... relaxing. We hope that this will alleviate some of the tension that you doubtlessly carry after the weekend's conclusion, and remind you that you are three-quarters of the way through the study.
Additionally, we would like to inform you that there is a gift for you waiting in the town hall as well.
[ Wonder what that could be? Well, come by and check it out! It's not like it's going anywhere. ]
Good morning, welcome to your W2 mini-event. This time, we will only have two parts; we have this one right here, and there will be a second smaller thing later in the day. This one won't be as big as W1's, and is still optional, though participation is encouraged from both IC/OOC perspectives!
BLOCK 1
Furthermore, come to the town hall and you'll find... that there is a wonderful table spread of what seems to be drinks. Spoilers, they're all lemonade and/or wine. However, they're all sorts of variants of lemonades, from standard to cocktails/mocktails. They're all in these glasses though. It looks and smells really good, and have a taste — it tastes positively... heavenly. However, when you drink it, the following happens:

—Oh wait, there's a glitch, and suddenly it's back to normal.
He's got some rolled up papers in his hands, and as he tries to unroll them to see what they are, he drops a few pages of pictures — which show, among other things, a city painted in a red and black flaming skull motif, 7 of this man standing around in a restaurant, a very attractive statue of himself, and another statue of... uh, Crowley in a low cut ab-accentuating shirt biting an invisible person, with a plaque labeling it as The Feast. ]
Aah!! No!!!!
[ HE VERY QUICKLY TRIES TO SNATCH THAT LAST ONE BACK UP BUT IT IS SURE FLYING AWAY ]

unlike sebastian, the photos vicious is holding are not secret, hidden or shameful. one of them looks like a weird little creachur, and the other is of a very serious looking young man and a very pink young lady stood in a surprisingly deep pond looking less than amused, surrounded by a group of others who look either concerned (the blond), or amused (the brown haired man and woman).
helpfully, he just watches as sebastian's soft-core pornography (basically) is thrown to the winds in front of god and everyone, before snorting. ]

It's Akeha. Sebastian and I found her in the cathedral. I think we all know what happened right after we did.
