Event: Mirror Image

[trainmasters]

Who: everyone!
When: Day 19 evening and on
Where: outside

[As darkness falls in the jungle, an unusually chill breeze rustles through the trees. In its wake is silence, the purified fauna going quiet as if in dread.

Is it just you, or is the night darker tonight?

You may find the cause if you leave the train. Those who are caught alone outside will see the shadows grow suddenly long. The darkness coalesces into a vaguely human form, vague and faceless but radiating cold.

Before you can react the shadows surround you. Deep within, your most bitter, unpleasant feelings rise up in your chest. It's overwhelming, threatening to consume you, but just before it can it suddenly stops. The shadows recoil, dissipating into the jungle.

You're safe, but those negative feelings might be closer to the surface than usual.

Good luck, especially if you're one of the newbies just waking up.]

[NOTES: This event will OOCly end on Wednesday, but feel free to ICly push time forward as much as you like. There will be a followup post at that time, and you can schedule player-run trials any time after.

The emotional effect of this event can be as severe as you want. Your character could just be a bit grumpy, or they could find their emotions totally out of control. The effect lasts a couple of hours or until the character counters it with happier feelings.]

Is it?

[bad_crowmance]

What, like you wouldn't be totally into it if some hottie was all over you likd, "Hey Jusis, I want you soooo bad"?

[saddleclub]

Certainly not!

[bad_crowmance]

Not even if you were really into them?

[saddleclub]

No one like that exists here.

[At least no one available. Either because they're taken or otherwise off limits. Same difference.]

[bad_crowmance]

"No one," huh?

[ He hums lightly, a soft and curious sound. ]

That's too bad.

[saddleclub]

Not all of us are born with uncontrollable libidos.

[bad_crowmance]

I'm beginning to wonder if you've got one at all.

[saddleclub]

As if that's your business.

[bad_crowmance]

Heh! I guess not.

[saddleclub]

Hmph. But for your information, I am perfectly normal. I just have other priorities.

[bad_crowmance]

How do you define "normal," anyway? Just so we're working with the same base here.

[saddleclub]

Normal is normal, is it not?

[bad_crowmance]

You can't use a word to define itself, Jusis.

[saddleclub]

If you take issue with my circular definition why don't you define "normal"?

[bad_crowmance]

In this particular instance? I'd say getting horny enough at least once or twice every other day to either need to jack off or ignore your own awkward boner until it goes away while you try to desperately ignore how badly you need to get laid.

...

[He's definitely blushing.]

[saddleclub]

I should have known better than to have you define this subject. At any rate, graphic description and unneeded personal commentary aside, yes. I'm normal.

[bad_crowmance]

[ So which one does he--

No, he won't ask that. Mainly because while making Jusis blush is fun, he's not trying to drive him off altogether. ]

Great! We've got that cleared up, then.

[ He's so entertained, honestly. ]

[saddleclub]

Yes well I don't need to ask what you're like.

[bad_crowmance]

The difference is that I've got my shit under control.

[saddleclub]

Do I seem out of control to you?

[bad_crowmance]

I'll pretend you don't for the sake of your ego.

[saddleclub]

What part of me is out of control??

[bad_crowmance]

Your libido, eventually.

[ GET LAID, JUSIS. ]
