—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.

You did bring it back.

Not on purpose!! I didn't even realize I was holding any of this...

[ there's a mumble that sounds like "sure" ]

Do you remember actually picking these things up??

[ BECAUSE HE WOULD NOT HAVE BROUGHT BACK EVIDENCE OF THE FUCKING FEAST IF GOD HADN'T PLACED IT IN HIS HANDS ]

Oh? You've simply been gifted these posters from an unknown entity?

Well, uh...

[ gives up on chasing that STUPID PICTURE i guess and stops to finish unrolling the bigger paper like he was trying to do before he dropped everything. it shows what look to be the plans for some kind of town-slash-city? (literally, it's a city on one side of the road and a small town on the other.) ]

...Yeah! This is the place we designed. We had to build a whole town, and then run away from monsters inside it. I made a sardine market!

[ points to it on the town schematics... there is indeed a sardine market ]

I'm... not actually sure how or why any of that happened, though.

An excellent addition to any town.

[He loves sardines!

Anyway, he looks at this town/city.]

What kind of monsters were there? You don't seem too injured.

Um, there was a giant depressed bug or something that threw buildings, and a more normal sized one with a wheel for legs that zoomed around and angrily enforced traffic laws? We turned it into that chipmunk thing. And there was a frog that had lasers, but I think that was just because it was a laser thing already before it was a frog.

[ you know what somehow didn't get damaged at all during all of this?

THAT FUCKING STATUE ]

We're not too injured because I made a really cool motorcycle like the one my pops rides and I dodged pretty much everything with it! Also the giant bug is the town guardian now so it's fine.

Yes, frogs can come with lasers. [ When. ] I wasn't aware bugs could transform into chipmunks.

The depressed bug or this chipmunk bug is the guardian?

Oh, the depressed bug! The chipmunk wasn't a bug, it was the traffic cop.

Are they still depressed? Do you believe they're capable of governing the city you've left them?

Well, it's not a governor, it's just like, a mascot and security system and a thing kids can ride. It was less depressed though, because it got a new purpose in life!
