EVENT: A Certain Confession
Who: everybody!
When: Day 16, evening
Where: wherever you are
[As the sun sets and the new stars come out, there's a message on the ChainChat app. The username is new -- it's not The Construct, but it also doesn't have a profile attached, and doesn't accept private messages. It appears to be some different admin account.]
★: Hi everyone. Good news and bad news here. Good first: you should find your new train car attached as of this message! You guys wanted a garden, so hopefully you'll like this one.
★: As for the bad news: we're having a bit of a problem generating positive energy, so from now on we're adjusting the whole "sparks of light" thing. Starting tomorrow, you'll only get a payout when you consciously make a decision to increase your bonds. We're talking about increasing prices, too, but... one thing at a time.
★: Sorry for the bad timing.
[There's a pause, and then a follow-up.]
★: There are some things I ought to explain now, but I'm not sure where to start. Just be aware that things might get rougher in the future. And that Trials... I might've lied a little about those.
★: I'm sorry. This wasn't supposed to happen. Please try to hang in there.
[It's not a cheerful message, but on the upside, there is in fact a new train car at the end! On the outside it looks like one of the communal cars, with a stylized flower symbol on the door. Inside, however, it's a huge greenhouse. There are several different "rooms", each about 50 feet square, aligned to different climates. It also comes with various basic gardening tools - trowels, gloves, etc -- and enough seedlings to get started growing flowers and veggies. There's always (artificial) sunshine coming down through the glass roof, and the soil in the beds never loses fertility. There are even benches here and there -- it's not only a practical facility, but a nice place to relax!
More seeds and seedlings, equipment, and decor, can be bought via the sparks shop. You may in the meantime assume any simple plants you want are provided -- but they won't be re-issued for free if you kill them!]
[OOC: You can use this toplevel to reply to the prince's chat message. He'll respond for a limited time, but you can use this opportunity to uncover some major plot info! You're also more than welcome to talk to eachother -- it's a chat room and the conversations are public. The changes to the sparks system are outlined in this OOC comm announcement. Thank you!]

no subject
no subject
naeva: can it be reversed?

no subject
naeva: if you believe him corrupted, then the answer is of dire importance.
naeva: as a monarch, you should already know what kind of decision you have to make if it can't be cured.
no subject
★: I think it can be fixed. I'm just not sure what to do yet.
no subject
naeva: about the malice, and how people and animals become corrupted
naeva: whether or not we are at risk
naeva: and how we could tell if your other friends begin to show signs of it.
naeva: even if we can't do anything ourselves, the more we know, the better prepared we are.
naeva: if you truly intend for us to succeed, give us all the tools you can.
no subject
★: Malice is a dark force made of negative emotions. We don't know where it came from, just that someone probably let it loose. It existed once eons ago, and the Prisms beat it back, but no one ever figured out the origin. Now it's back, and it took over everything extremely fast. Since we know it's repelled by positive feelings and bonds, and Prisms can be restored that way, all we can think to do is send you out to purify.
no subject
naeva: but that is more to work with.
naeva: If you want to foster positivity in times of adversity, take better note of the emotions of the people around you.

naeva: formality runs counter to what we need to do, doesn't it?
no subject
no subject
naeva: second of all, if we start getting into formal respect my full titles are 5 minutes long and I'm sure yours are just as bad so let's skip it
naeva: third of all, keeping your distance isn't being better
no subject
[He's confused and flustered here. Why do people who're mad at him keep yelling at him to get closer!?]
no subject
naeva: then, shouldn't you also be attempting to bond with us?
naeva: at the very least, it might help keep us from generating more fear and distrust.
no subject
no subject
naeva: but you owe it to yourself and your friends to try, don't you?
naeva: as for me, i want a lot of things
naeva: and making you into a pariah isn't going to get me any of them
no subject
★: Okay.
