Who: Everybody!
When: Day 14, morning
Where: Public Lounge

[Good morning, Aurora. Things seem peaceful, don't they? But, well, there is a terrible doom brought upon this train. Maybe you noticed it near your
car. Maybe you felt a terrible presence in the wee hours of the morning. Maybe you just wanted to get breakfast in peace. But anyone going through
the lounge today will find themselves presented with something strange and terrible.

Stickers.

They're bright. They're sparkly. Naeva has an inordinant amount of them and is sticking them on anyone and anything she can get close to. If you ask, she'll probably
let you pick one out. Or maybe just snatch a sheet from her when her back's turned.

And hey, if you're not here for stickernanigans, maybe you still have some memories to broadcast? It's a beautiful morning for a beautiful mingle!]

[ Surely a thumbs-up without any other movement counts as an answer. ]

[This beautiful useless piece of shit. She is growing somewhat irritated, and her thoughts turn to things like kicking his shins, or pulling his hair, and along with the evident hickies, she's starting to get distracted. Right. She takes a moment to collect her thoughts, and then shakes him more roughly.]

This is Hlasoh. I do hope you haven't forgotten me yet.

[ That gets a sleepy groan out of him. ]

Im tired, not double-amnesiac. Definitely didn't forget any cute girls.

Y-Yes, you do appear to have been busy last evening. And, er, I appreciate the compliment.

But you really should eat, and it is best to stay active during the day. Things happen quite quickly here.

[Says the girl who secluded herself in Licorice care for two days.]

[ He lifts his head up at last, blinking sleepily at her. ]

I'm gonna eat.

[ It comes out a little petulantly. It's not that he's not hungry, it's just that the "tired" keeps winning. ]

As your team member, it would not do if I refused to support you.

Would it help if I ate with you? Or perhaps I could splash water in your face?

[ Maybe passing out at this table in particular was a bad idea. ]

Don't need water. You can join me if you want, I wouldn't mind the company.

Very well. I'll be back in a moment.

[She leaves for the kitchen, and returns with a tray with two mugs of coffee, some milk and sugar, a stack of pancakes with syrup, and scrambled eggs.]

I haven't seen this type of food before. It seems interesting.

Pancakes and eggs? It's pretty standard fare where I'm from.

Oh, we eat eggs. But much of the time, it's poached in a spicy sauce.

[Takes a bite of pancake, but without any syrup.]

Hm. Spongy.

That sounds like it might be good. Try putting some syrup on the pancakes.

It is very good. I'll have to make it some time. It's often served with bread.

[She pours over some syrup, and takes another bite.]

Oh. That's very sweet.

Sure is! It's a pretty popular combination.

Strange. I'm not sure if I like it yet.

Oh, have you decided on a name, yet?

Oh, did I forget to mention it? Sorry about that. I'm going with Crow.

I suppose our theme died before it ever began.

[Adds a shitload of sugar to her coffee, but no cream, and takes a sip.]

It's not a bad theme! You can just say it's on pause.

I think... perhaps part of me wished for that continuity. But it was an ephemeral thing that I had never been connected to.

There are only those of us who are here now.

Yeah, but that's not so bad either. Life's gonna be full of changes.

[She glances again at his hickies and then averts her eyes bashfully.]

Ah, um, t-there was another matter I wanted to discuss with you. I mentioned that I subsisted on life energy yesterday, yes? Well, I do not know if those rules still apply, b-but if they do, there is a particularly effective way of raising energy levels that- mm, if I am not being too forward! Ah, of course I am being quite forward, and I apologize.

[She catches her breath, prodding at her eggs with a fork.]

Do you really think I'm cute?

[ Is this a sex thing? This is definitely a sex thing. He gives her a slow, wide grin. ]

I definitely think you're cute!

[Of course, it's not really just about the magic, of course. Not very much at all. It's about the aching void in her heart that's hungry, a roiling consuming thing, and it's hard to tell where the curse begins and her own loneliness ends.]

I'm, er, aware, that there are many that prefer a more, um, voluptuous woman, but I would endeavor to make our, mm, experiences satisfying for you as well.

Um, truthfully, I would also prefer to relieve stress, and, um, I must seem so shameless, saying these things, but as I've stated, I have certain appetites. I can already see that perhaps you have similar appetites as well, and, er- perhaps a mutually beneficial arrangement can come into being?

[Just say you wanna bang the hot guy, Hlasoh]

They sure can!

[ Once he's not exhausted.

He thinks she's probably lying or at least exaggerating about the feeding-via-sex thing but like he's going to complain about being used for sex by a pretty girl. ]

[She's only exaggerating a small amount! It really is one of the more efficient ways of raising magical energy that doesn't involve masks, candles, and chanting.

Though those aren't mutually exclusive.

However, her remark about stress relief is also on the nose. She smiles though, pleased at being accepted.]

Mm, well, please do feel free to drop by my room later.

Ah, though, just as with yourself, I, um, shall not be partial in choosing other partners as suits my desire.

[After a moment, she puts her fingers to her forehead to indicate horns.]

Of course not! I wouldn't expect it any other way.

[ He has no frame of reference, but he's pretty sure he could pull of monogamy if he wanted to.... but he doesn't want any romantic relationships at all so it's a moot point. It's more pleasant to come to an agreement. ]
