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!]

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. ]

Thank you. I find your honesty refreshing, which is perhaps a hypocritical thing of me to say.

[Her heart was broken many years ago, but her body is more demanding than that.]

Hm, you may want to take a short rest after digesting your meal, though, in case another Trial occurs later.

Yeah, I'm gonna. I'll head back to my room for a bit.

Make sure to eat, though. You'll need to keep your strength up. It's been four- no five, days and I already know.

Of course! I always planned on eating my food.

[ He was just. Tired. ]

I-I'll be disappointed if you're too listless.

Anyway, don't fall asleep immediately after eating either, it's bad for digestion.

[ He lets out a chuckle at that. ]

You sound like someone's doctor with all that worrying.

[She scoffs. Look at how icy and cold she is.]

It's not my business to fuss over others. It's not out of special concern for them, I simply wish for my team to perform well.

Yeah, that's fair too.

[ He doesn't buy it, but he'll let her have that. ]

[He shouldn't, no.]

We're in this situation together, after all, so it's in my self-interest too.

[Really tucking into those pancakes.]

What is this sugar-sauce made of?

Some kind of tree sap, I think.

What a strange tree.

Yeah, but I've got no complaints.

But here we have meat without herds, eggs without hens, flour without wheat, and sap without trees. Even the most adept magi of my world would struggle to sustain such wonders.
