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.]

    I'm not worried about that. I can handle myself.

    Yes, you confidence doesn't seem unfounded. But I want these expeditions to go smoothly, if possible. It will be beneficial to me as well to regularly train in combat situations.

    Of course, there's nothing wrong with that.

    [personal profile] nihilmancy 2019-04-25 12:01 am (UTC)(link)
    Hmm, and I'll get to see if you're as impressive as your bravado suggests.

    Well, actions do speak louder than words.

    [personal profile] nihilmancy 2019-04-25 01:19 am (UTC)(link)
    You already talk a lot.

    Haha, I'm sure I have no idea what you're talking about.

    [personal profile] nihilmancy 2019-04-26 12:06 am (UTC)(link)
    I mean that your actions must be very loud.

    [ He shrugs slightly. ]

    I know, I was being sarcastic.

    [personal profile] nihilmancy 2019-04-26 12:10 am (UTC)(link)
    Oh. Normally I'm better at that.

    That's okay, it happens to the best of us.

    [personal profile] nihilmancy 2019-04-26 12:20 am (UTC)(link)
    I don't think I'll hear you admitting to it though.

    I did say it happens to the best of us, didn't I?

    [ He winks at her. ]

    Just don't go contaminating Kiryuu. He's pure and beautiful and innocent.

    [ Crow blinks at her for a moment and then smiles. ]

    I would never.

    [Points at her eyes, and then at his.]

    [ He rolls his eyes, not the least bit intimidated. ]

    Don't worry, the Big Bad Crow isn't gonna eat the sweet little boy for breakfast.

    It's not even the flirting I'm worried about, you'd have the same problem with him you'd have with me, but you know, more so. It's the gambling and all of that. I won't have you turning him into some dice game hustler.

    [But there's a wry, amused tone in her voice. She likes this sleazy jerk too.]

    [ His lips quirk into an amused grin. ]

    I won't promise not to corrupt your boytoy, Hlasoh, sorry.

    [ No, he's not. ]

    [personal profile] nihilmancy 2019-04-26 07:26 pm (UTC)(link)
    I know, you can't really be anybody else but you. No improving on perfect, right?

    [ Crow hums briefly, tucking his hands behind his head. ]

    Something like that!

    [ The truth is, even as awesome as he admittedly thinks he is, even Crow thinks he has room for improvement. Of course, he's not going to say that. ]
