Who: Everyone
When: Day 20, evening
Where: The train and surrounding terrain

[So after all the earlier excitement.... dramatic organ music starts to play through the cars. There's no obvious source. It's just... There? All around you for a while, before fading.

Of course before the music fades there's more things going on. A mist seeps up from the earth outside the train and within the train simply seems to form like it's produced by invisible fog machines. As the mist grows into a thick fog, you can hear eerie noises. Distant wolf howls, the screech of a fox that sounds like human screaming, owls hooting hauntingly, the leathery flap of bat wings, and other, less identifiable noises of the night, strange and otherworldly.

If you go out in it, breathe it in, the mist will chill you. Make you desire... Touch.

The need to hold another person is an almost growing compulsion, but it can be fought.

However things that are harder to avoid are the flowers, night blooming wisteria in white and purple seems to have grown from nowhere in the train cars, hanging down to brush the heads of passengers with sweet scented blossoms, and the floors of the train and ground around it have become endless beds of gently glowing moonflowers.

The only places the fog and flowers don't reach are team cabins.

Effects:

Mist:
  • Cold that cannot be dispelled without touch, a desire to touch others.

  • Wisteria:
  • Purple blossoms cause an empathetic bond with the next person you touch.
  • White blossoms cause arousal and a mild to powerful aphrodisiac effect.

  • Moonflowers:
  • Share memories or thoughts with the next person you touch.


  • By morning the mist and flowers will vanish.]

    No. I need to ask, because you need to be specific. You clearly do not know the outcome of any of these applicable situations and perhaps there is a reason for that.

    Let's go with causing him emotional harm.

    [Well, she can turn that on you like why wouldn't you let him be beheaded that really hurt his feelings you know, gosh!!!]

    If he did not tell you about it, perhaps he does not want you to know.

    So you can say you've apologized to him and actually made up for your conduct? Changed it?

    Why is that your concern?

    [if she is being defensive it is not at all clear from her voice it's just like politely neutral but her lips pull into a shifting frown, like she is experiencing something unpleasant and does not know what to make of it]

    Should it not be? An apology with no attempt to adjust one's conduct or outlook is even worse than empty air, it's lying appeasement. Manipulation at best.

    [personal profile] voreaciously 2019-04-20 11:11 pm (UTC)(link)
    Yes, well, if you must know since you did not and I wonder why, I did apologise.

    Do you think he tells me everything? Or are you unaware of the basics of how people interact to the extent that it's a shock I would not know every little thing?

    I doubt it's those so I assume you must be trying to needle me. I wonder how stupid you must think i am that you continue with such toothless tactics.

    I am awful at people, but that is not the point I was making. Nor was I needling you.

    I am sure you do not believe me. It is fine. We will never get along, and it is simply easier to assume the worst of people we do not care for.

    You've never given cause to think well of you, though I'm sure that's not a factor.

    [It's also not true, sometimes she's tolerable.]

    [personal profile] voreaciously 2019-04-20 11:57 pm (UTC)(link)
    You mistake me. I do not expect you to think well of me and I do not lament this. I am well aware of what I am.

    Why not change yourself?

    Oh, I intend to, however, I am certain that my ideals and your ideals are very different.

    It is pointless to ask that, then.

    [but scooches a little closer without thinking about it]

    You think everything is pointless.

    I am not.
