The object is white in color. It is also partially transparent. It is long, but also round. It is usually cool to the touch, unless you’ve held it for too long… wait, doesn't that apply to all objects though? They are usually quite expensive, but it's really a shame this one can't be actually purchased in a store or even online… you can still technically have the item, though, just not physically (we wish! maybe one day) The object emits light, like a faint torch, and it can be toggled on and off. The object can be used as a defensive weapon, but we do not suggest bonking people on the head with it (you cannot buy insurance for any damage caused by this object). The object is not too heavy and not too light, you should be able to lift it up with little to no extra strength or effort. The object does not only emit light but it also sparkles in various shades of the blue to green spectrum and occasionally flashes (which might or might not blind you slightly) with a lot of really pretty sparkles!! It is an excellent tool to use if you are in need of something to light up a dark room, whether it's because you're in need of a party gadget that doesn't cost five thousand dollars or you're too scared to go to the bathroom by yourself (or maybe you can use the object for its actual purpose, which is to cheer with). Do you know what the item is yet? Last few hints! There is an emblem with a star and a wing-like shape situated inside the main body of the object (okay, i should stop typing it as “objekt” SOBBING this is not cosmo and these are not objekts rah). There is also a button. Guess the object :>

The story takes place in the Block Creative Letter Terminal, where a team of newly recruited workers are set to work for the terminal, assisting with the activities that keep the letter delivery process go as smoothly as possible. However, the cruel owner of said terminal, Mr. Berry, offers them all low pay while giving extremely strict orders that seem to be nearly impossible to achieve.

Seeing the impact such a workspace has had on everyone there, Yume, who worked at the reception desk; Nat, who was one of those in charge of looking after the birds in the bird enclosure); and Silky, one of the sorters who took responsibility of sorting the letters in the letter sorting room, who eventually became close friends while working for the horrid terminal owner, even despite being in separate divisions. The three form an alliance in an attempt to fight for their rights (and a better, hopefully non-rotten supply of mangoes).

Between getting locked in the envelope closet every once in a while, befriending the many different birds of which the “feather-mail” letter delivery system was named after, and finishing their daily tasks with increasing efficiency, they were able to convince the group to each pitch in what they have and finally buy the terminal for themselves.

The terminal was later renamed the Epistolary Letter Terminal, the very same one we know of today.

Time Traveller Yume
this is the twenty-seventh letter I've sent this past week… I don't think this is normal.
*seals up the envelope*
*tosses letter into time machine*
*presses a few buttons*
alright, off you go-
*picks up one of the previous reply letters, reads it over*
sometimes I wonder if she even reads everything…
alright, any time now-

(time machine returns)
(doors slide open)

Fairy Yume
OW-
i think i banged my head on something

Time Traveller Yume
…
…WHAT

Fairy Yume
oh, hello!! i'm- wait where am i-
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

Time Traveller Yume
…how did you get here.
don't tell me you-

Fairy Yume
i was running back from running an academy errand and almost missed the letter, and so i reached into the machine to get the letter as always, but the door closed on me-!

Time Traveller Yume
…why did i even trust a borderline stranger with the mango machine 2000.

Fairy Yume
so… this is probably a really bad time to tell you this but uhhh
i don't have your reply letter yet

Time Traveller Yume
that… makes sense
don't worry about it-
…what we do need worry about is how we're going to send you back.

Fairy Yume
but- but- i haven't gotten to know you better yet!!
we're pen pals already, it'd only be fair if we also spend some time together first
RIIGHT?? *smiles very widely*

Time Traveller Yume
…
fine.

Fairy Yume
*screams* YAAAAYYYY!!!!

Time Traveller Yume
in all seriousness though, there really isn't that much to see around here…
i mean, unless you want to visit the Control Room or something-

Fairy Yume
*pressing random buttons on the time machine control panel*

Time Traveller Yume
WAIT NO DON'T DO THAT
YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU'RE DOING-

(blinding flash of white light)

Time Traveller Yume
oh no
*gets up, glances at a screen*
…NO
THIS IS REALLY BAD

Fairy Yume
uhhh
DID I DO SOMETHING WRONG??

Time Traveller Yume
other than the fact you possibly broke the time machine…
uhh…
…nevermind.

(Yumella and Yumeki both fall into… somewhere)

Fairy Yume
…where are we?

Time Traveller Yume
uhh…
do you want the good news or the bad news

Fairy Yume
…

Time Traveller Yume
the good news is that we're still in one piece
the bad news
…
I HAVE NO IDEA WHERE THIS IS.

I’m sure many of us have listened to songs that portrayed a story, but what if we created a story portrayed by songs? If you’re thinking of things to do, let’s take a look at today’s daily! For this daily, you’ll be writing a story of 150 words from beginning to end using only lyrics from different songs! Lyrics from a certain song can only be used twice, so be sure to open up your playlists and find a way to make lyrics connect! This is worth 150 points with an extra 100 points for sharing.

All the shine of a thousand spotlights
Bows and flows of angel hair

How can we not feel jealous while being around
Dancin', dreamin', feelin', oh, crazy

You attack my heart
Like strawberry soda
That's my life, that's my life

So they say,
There's no useless thing for a dream

Surely you're my destiny
I can't deny it, I lose I lose all my mind

don't give yourself away

I'm feeling nice
It's nice to have a friend
I'm gettin' tired of being too good
It's not a secret I try to hide

'Cause we're running, we're running it makes me nervous
And there are doors that we can't walk through
From up and down and still somehow
Bet you wanna go with me now?

More, almost; don't alter what I am waiting for
We love the way we go
Flying in a dream, stars by the pocketful
It feels like one of those nights we won't be sleeping

All the stars we steal from the night sky
It's shining on me, moonlight
However big, however small
It's you and me, that's my whole world

Part 1 (Flaws) - 209 / 150 words

Name :: Szeyan (Full: Wong Sze Yan)
Species :: Human
Nationality :: Cantonese (HK)
Hair color :: Brunette (natural), pastel pink (dyed)
Eye color :: Dark brown

Flaws ::
- Gullible, trusts people quite (and sometimes almost too) easily. Literally if they don't look like a stereotypical bad guy or speak in really weird ways or just look or dress suspiciously in general
- Little to no self-confidence. Very doubtful of her own capabilities, and that prevents her from doing a variety of different tasks. She cannot stand compliments because she does not believe in them.
- Despite having such little self-confidence, she is a dreamer and has big aspirations. However, she often finds it difficult to bring herself to pursuing said aspirations without a solid source of motivation.
- She has terrible spelling. English is not her first language, but she clearly did not pay enough attention in English classes (another weakness, often loses focus easily) to get the practice she needs to be, well, better than where she is now…
- Although not necessarily selfish in terms of tangible objects or a stereotypical “mean person”, she often only thinks about herself and places her own feelings and emotions before anyone else's.
- memory is absolutely broken. forgets almost everything (yes, this is sarcasm, but she really is quite forgetful.)

▹ ┈┈┈┈┈ ◃ ୨ ◩ ୧ ▹ ┈┈┈┈┈ ◃

Part 2 (Development) - 250 / 200 words

- Gets scammed. by what is definitely not BlockBerry Creative… the company is called FlopBully Uncreative. (it’s actually called BlastBlock Creative.)
- Throughout her experiences in the story, Szeyan becomes a lot more aware of the world around her (namingly the vast galaxy outside of her hometown and city).
- After the whole agency fiasco, she also loses a lot of her original gullible trait and becomes a lot more cautious and suspicious of almost every new person she meets. She is also significantly more sensitive about talking about her past experiences, although if talking to the right person will probably spill it all out without even realising it.
- Used to think that she needs money, a job, and a place to stay to live a stable and happy life, but later starts questioning if all of that is really the most important.
- Her pink hair is not natural and is dyed. Initially, she did it to supposedly boost her confidence and become a “new” version of herself, something to hide her shy personality under. Later on, the pink hair slowly changes to be a symbol of the unique identity she’s found in herself, no more categorising as the “version” of her but rather who she’s become after all that she’s been through.
- Her initial ambitions to become an idol still remain, however she also has a newfound purpose(?) goal(?)strive to make things right in the world around her, as well as remain loyal to those who she’s met along the way.

▹ ┈┈┈┈┈ ◃ ୨ ◩ ୧ ▹ ┈┈┈┈┈ ◃

Part 3 (Motivation) - 201 / 200 words

- She wants a job. Literally half her personality is just because she is currently practically broke, unemployed, and got scammed of one of her (probably, although we’ll never really know now that it happened) only possible opportunities to actually get a job.
- One of those said jobs was to become an idol, which has been one of her dreams for quite a while up until now. The fiasco has led her to doubting in this path, but she never strayed away from wanting to accomplish this goal.
- As of after the events of what we now know as her backstory, she is determined to not let the ones that have since supported her down.
- She wishes to be able to make a good change and make things right in the universe we know.
- She is, like most people motivated by food. If you provide her with a healthy dose of bibimbap or noodles, she will happily do whatever she was meant to. Literally, sometimes it works even just by having the food in front of her and saying that she’ll be able to have it afterwards. (but to be fair, aren’t all of us food-motivated in some sort of way… ;w; )

Part 4 (Story) - 485 / 450 words

(Szeyan makes her way off the plane, and into… what was supposed to be an airport. She looks around, and sees only a seemingly abandoned wooden infrastructure.)

Wong Szeyan
so this is it, huh-
*clenches fists* i sure hope this is all worth it…

(Szeyan makes her way to the baggage claim, and waits for her luggage. After waiting for what seemed like half an hour, she finally claimed her bags and went to check in for arrival.)

Wong Szeyan
*whispering under breath* is it just me, or does this airport still feel a little strange…?
there's barely anyone in this terminal… maybe it's just the day-?
oh! i was supposed to meet the driver outside, if i remember right.
*rummages in her bag, finally finds the small piece of paper tucked inside one of the inner pockets*
*walks towards the terminal exit, pulling her luggage and bags along with her*

(Szeyan sees an airport officer standing near one of the exits. They were conversing with some other passerby just now, and their conversation looked to be that of finding and giving directions. Curious and also desperate for help of some kind, she makes her way over to the doors.)

Wong Szeyan
uh, excuse- excuse me…

Officer
How may I help you today?

Wong Szeyan
umm…
could you tell me how to get to bus terminal B please?

Officer
Bus terminal B, you say? That'd be right over that way, just a short walk away.

(The officer gestures to a post a little bit of a distance away. Szeyan thanks the officer and heads in that direction.

Wong Szeyan
this is where I was told to go…
if i'm not mistaken, that is. oh, no, did i get the directions wrong?
…i couldn't have booked the wrong flight, right…?
no, that wouldn't make sense, i made sure to-
did i double-check the flight when i booked it?
oh, wait, there's no way i could have - all of these were sent to me, i didn't have to do anything.
*deep breath*
*exhale*
alright, let's do this.
*waits at the bus terminal for like. even longer than she waited for the luggages to be unloaded off the cargo and onto the magical wonderful extraordinary amazing conveyor belts… (conveyor belts are amazing. fight me)*
…is the driver ever going to come?

???
…You've been waiting here for a long time.

Wong Szeyan
*yelp* AAHH!!

???
Sorry, did I startle you?

Wong Szeyan
…oh, sorry, i didn't see you come up…

Random Passerby A
Ah… No, it's fine, I was just passing by and noticed you've been here for a while, that's all.

(Random Passerby A walks away, leaving Szeyan alone at the terminal.)

Wong Szeyan
so… the driver will never come.
at least, it looks to be that way…
*sudden realisation*
…
oh.
…it couldn't be…
*glances over at the airport sign*
…
this isn't where BlastBlock Creative is located.

it is
ame-ing very heavily
the rain drops are falling

falling
from the skies
to the ground
falling freely

that's what they said
they said it'd be raining
it'd be raining
it'd be raining

it is
indeed not raining at all
the clouds are up, that's true

not a single drop
not a drop of rain
has made it

earlier this morning
i walked out of the door
i made sure to carry
my special umbrella
i really loved
when the drops of rain
would glisten under the faint rays of sunlight
shining through the creaks between each cloud
a rare sight indeed
one that i don't get to see often
clearly today was not the day

i look around
looking around
everyone on the streets
made sure to carry
their own umbrellas
in preparation for what was
supposed to be a rainy day
is it that
for once
we've forgotten to appreciate the sunlight?
or has the world finally learnt to, instead
appreciate the rain?

i woke up
the next morning
i looked out of the window
and saw
droplets of rainwater covering the panel of glass
glistening in the sunlight
it was then i realised

Crescent and Cosmos
Birthday: May 28, 2008

- Nonidentical twin sisters- Crescent is older by exactly 7 minutes and 25 seconds.
- Modern descendants of the Starweavers, goddesses who were responsible for the creation and regulation of stars and constellations (though nowadays it’s just the ‘regulation’ part).
- Crescent is into modern fashion, while Cosmos is perfectly happy with star robes.
- Since Starweavers don’t have legal last names, they simply go by the last name ‘Starweaver’ if necessary. This, however, is really only used by these two as they’re the only ones to ever interact with human beings.
- Their pendants serve as a way of communication. Crescent’s is a crescent while Cosmos’ is a gibbous. The former is a waxing crescent and the latter a waning gibbous based off their age. These are quite rare in the Starweaver community as most don’t touch on aspects of the moon.
- i don’t know sob
- Crescent has telepathic powers.
- Meanwhile, Cosmos can look into the future, which sometimes leads to many intrusive, confusing, or somewhat depressing thoughts. Due to this, Cosmos can’t and doesn’t speak much in public since her goal while outside is usually to see the future. Crescent would speak for Cosmos based on the above reason.
- Both their powers are limited due to being passed down from many generations and so only work within the small area they’re in at a time.

the constellation of pegasus has many fabled origins, but what about in the modern day? although the formation of constellations are quite rare, it's not uncommon to find what seems to be a personified version of these starry phenomenons, one instance of which can be found in yume's constellations daily from last sessi- COUGH i mean i mean in the world around us! anyways, so the story goes…

once upon a time, there is said to be 88 constellations, hanging in the sky, looking down at the inhabitants of what we know as planet earth. walking this earth are the counterparts of each constellation, waiting for the eventual reunion with its celestial form. even though they may not know it, the very life they live is intertwined with their constellation counterpart, a modern recreation of the origin stories of these fables about the stars. and the oldest child in the tenma household just so happens to be one of them. (and it wasn't even until i was told of this story by someone who i had known since that past previously mentioned session that i would get to know it in its entirety). according to the prophecy, “for one hero’s act must another one fall”. if it weren't for the show that had happened that one fateful day, i doubt the guy would even have been close to realising his connection to the stars themselves. but it was undeniable - that “pegasus” tenma had a connection to pegasus stronger than one would initially imagine.

weekly #3 !!

209 / 200 words
okay so basically. yume is indecisive as we have already established before, so she had like five different ideas and posted them as a poll! and the vote was very very heavily on… leader app analysis rabbit hole. which! i honestly am not mad about, since this was something i had realised through making my own apps since a few sessions back, how there's almost always some connection that i don't even realise i made in the first place that i only come to see much, much later on ahaha.

the main concept of this weekly would be to go through your previous leader apps and find or make connections between them, and the workshop part will more so focus on creating a theoretical leader app to continue what you have so far! the inspiration was definitely how although my earlier apps were mainly based off one topic, ever since i made the sekai app all my apps following it have had traces of pjsk in them, as well as following less of a general theme but kind of turning into a never ending yumeverse saga?? so uhh. definitely not something i can use to leak my future apps… except i don't actually have to do my weekly, thankfully :,>

~

300 / 150 words
Part 1 - Weekly Analysis (ehehe, see what i did there? definitely not a dystopian wcg reference… :>>)
For this first part of the weekly, we'll begin by looking through your own leader apps! (yes, this weekly unfortunately only applies to those who have applied before :,00 but it doesn't have to be just swc! you can look through your apps from any and all camps or even other communities in any selection, however you'd like!) To finish this part, make a 200 word list of your selected apps and all the important points you want to record about them (eg. what was the inspiration? what are the main elements?)!

Part 2 - Finding Connections
Now that you have your initial list, it's time to make some connections (no, not the nyt game, connections between your leader apps)! Write 200 words of different connections you can make between your apps to complete this part of the weekly - these can be anything at all, as long as you find a way to link them from one app to another. Have fun! <3

Part 3 - Timeline
Now that you have came up with different things that connect each of your leader apps, write 200 words describing the general timeline of how your different apps connect, or maybe even whether they're spread across various timelines if any!

Part 4 - Create a Prospect Leader App
Finally, use what you've learned about your past leader apps to plan out a future app! (of course, you do not have to use this idea - but if you ever run out of app ideas, you know where to look! ^^) Feel free to refer to this workshop written by (definitely not) Yume for a more detailed guide on coming up with your idea! We're looking forward to seeing what you create <33

~

441 / 350 words

hii! welcome to this workshop - today we'll be going through some basic details on making a leader app! you can use this for the ongoing weekly (aka the fake weekly xD the weekly that yume wrote for her swc weekly) or to come up with an actual app idea ^^ without further ado, let's get started!

- coming up with an idea

just like coming up with the idea of this weekly, each leader app starts from one singular idea! these can be literally anything - most people go by choosing something they enjoy, like a hobby, a music genre, a fandom or game, but there is tons of potential to do whatever you want by combining a bunch of different things you enjoy! for example, you could make an app with the layout based off of your favorite game, but the content of an activity you enjoy.

another idea could be to build on previous apps you've already done - an example of this would be how at the end of my “destination: RECOLLECTION” app, a door is shown what resembles the theme of my previous app, “9 skills of resilience”. (this goes hand in hand with the rest of this weekly as well :00)

all in all, there's seriously no rule and no end to the possibilities of what you can use as your app theme, so choose something that represents who you are! <3

- creating a title

the next step would be to decide on a title for your app! titles and thumbnails are really important as they leave the most impression on viewers, whether they end up clicking on your app or not. here are a few things you might want to consider:

short and concise titles, like using a single song title, one or two words, etc, can give readers a really good idea of what to expect before clicking into your app. on the other hand, longer, more descriptive titles could also be an interesting choice to add more of your own personal touch as well as a bit of anticipation for what the app would be about :0

you can also think about using different stylistic elements such as capitalisation and symbols to add some personality! (i personally really like colons and overuse them a lot ;w; ) just make sure that your text is still relatively clear and easy to read ^^

i would make this workshop a whole lot longer (because uh. i would honestly love to ramble about leader apps ahaha, i love them so much aaaa), but this should be all you need to complete this weekly ^^ have fun coming up with your app ideas! <33

this world is a really strange one. first of all, whatever you do, the opposite of what you did is going to happen to you. the story is centered around one of the swc yumes, probably either of the ones who actually know what swc is because the whole pocket universe thing has confused me already sobs.

since everything they do is going to have the opposite happening, while writing the weekly random words will be deleted from time to time, causing the actual weekly to be really chunky and just - broken into weird…. chunks. (also the vocab choice is terrible because yume's vocab is very limited and this is not a lie! /gen xD)

the world in general really just works like our world in all the other ways, technology exists but isn't trying to overtake us because once they try to overtake us we will try to overtake them. okay i think that sums up this world quite well but I AM NOT YET AT 200 WORDS because that is! also! a part of the rules of this weekly world. you will never get to 200 words. 200 words is a lie. …this is very ominous sounding.

…that was 199 words before i typed this sentence by the way.. my story is literally writing itself sobs

“What do you mean ‘something is going to go wrong’?? That's, uh, …very ominous.” I stared at the book lying in front of me. The book did not in fact respond, but it only continued to look at me in a really weird way, almost as it if had eyes.

It did not in fact
have eyes.

But I looked at it anyway, I started at it for as long as I could until finally, my eyes were forced shut from the unknown pressure that had also shut the book closed as well. (I couldn't actually see the book shut, but the sound really seemed like it did, so I believed what I thought since there was really no other way)

When my eyes opened again, the book was once again open, laying flat on my bed. It was flipped to another page. I scanned the page.

“Something is wrong.”

I screamed. Very loudly. I had no idea what it meant, or what it could mean, only hoping to myself that surely, there was a logical explanation for this. All of this. Was something actually going to go wrong? Or was this just - that dreaded storybook ending - a dream?

Part of me doesn't even know If I want to know the truth.
And somehow, before these two lines, I was once again stuck at 199 words.

I took the book out of where it was, on the shelf. I sure didn't want to do this assignment, it probably didn't want me anyways. I proceeded to type on my computer to begin my research, when suddenly, my tab refreshed just before I was able to see the results.

You would think it is very fun to like, live in a really strange ironic world where nothing goes right.
I can tell you that no,
it is not.

It is anything but fun.

Shaking my head and sighing in the process, I smack my keyboard with a (very weak) fist. My autocorrect corrects the keyspam into a word I never knew existed. It was at that moment I decided that this was going absolutely nowhere, and I would probably have better luck researching using… other forms.

I took one look at the leather cover of the book. It seemed to draw me in, or at least it wanted to. The more I felt it, the more I just wanted to back away from it. Almost as if there was some kind of invisible force field preventing me from picking it up or reading it.

I shut my eyes and opened it to a random page. Slowly opening my eyes, I try to make out what was on the page…

“You really think that's all that life gives you,” Yuria muttered under her breath, “This is hopeless…”

Barista Yume didn't seem to like that comment a lot. In fact, she almost spilled her tray of freshly brewed mango coffees while making her way over to where the other three were sitting. “Hey!! Be like, more cheerful and positive maybe? This isn't mission grounds anyways, so just enjoy it all while you can, right?”

Yumella jumps up from where she was seated and grabs a mango coffee. “Ooh, mango!” The fairy takes a big sip of the drink and exhales an equally big breath. “Haa~ This is really good!”

Barista Yume smiled. “Thanks! I've been trying to perfect the recipe so it's just the right amount of mango to not be overwhelming… and to not have them be consumed by the SWC mascots before any of us get a chance to, apparently,” she added, giggling.

Yuria was still silent. Barista Yume set down a mango coffee down next to her, hoping she'd at least look up, but the girl only shrank deeper into the cloak she was wearing. Yuria stayed still. “…”

“Okay, seriously, are you alright?” Barista Yume whispered, “You do know that we're here for a reason, right?”

“…What…reason…” Yuria sighed. She hasn't exactly done anything worth celebrating, and this whole coffeehouse thing just seemed really out of place with everything that has been going on. Time machine malfunctions, ceiling break-ins, intergalactic crisis-es, just to name a few. And now she's being asked to become a spy again? By some future version of a secretariat leader who is now practically a secret agent (and one of those who really likes to emerge through ceilings)? This was all getting really out of control.

Barista Yume sighed. “Come with me.”

Hesitant, Yuria gets up from where she was seated and follows Barista Yume through the hallways. They take a few turns, and finally arrive at a storage room. Barista Yume unhooks the set of keys hanging from her belt, and upon finding the right key, opens the door. “This is where they keep all of the machines,” she explained to Yuria.

“MY TURN!!”
“Are you ALWAYS like this?!!!??”
“HEY! PICK ME! PICK ME!!!”
“WHY ARE WE NEVER INCLUDED IN THESE THINGS?? LIKE, YOU CAN INVITE THE WHOLE WORLD AND SOMEHOW STILL MISS US. WE'RE COLORS TOO-”
“LIES! THOSE ARE SHADES! THEY ARE LYING TO YOU!!”
“WILL YOU ALL JUST- BE QUIET FOR A SECOND?? SHE'S ABOUT TO START!”

The girl picked up her drawing pencil, and set her brush to “liquify”. She glanced over the image, so full of different colors that it all blurred into a web of what looked both grey and a flash of rainbow at once. It was hard to explain, but it looked oddly pretty. Maybe not as pretty as the girl's drawing, however. The sketch was filled with nothing but grey splotches for each part of the drawing, and it was ready to be filled with the wildest colors one can imagine.

Taking a deep breath, she placed the tip of her pencil in a random spot on the screen. Slowly but surely, a single spot of color was being enlarged and finally made visible…

“GET OUT OF MY WAY!!!”
“hey- uh- i've never been picked bef-”
“YOU ALL! MOVE OUT! THIS IS MY TIME TO SHINE!”
“NO?? NO ONE WANTS THEIR CHARACTER TO HAVE PINK HAIR, WE'VE SEEN THAT SO MUCH ALREADY!!”
“Her last one was purple-”
“HEY! I WAS JUST ABOUT TO MAKE IT! WHO PUSHED ME JUST NOW??”

Finally, the circle stopped at a color. The girl calmly used the eyedropper tool to pick out the selected color, and brushed it over her drawing. One down, eight to go.
