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.]

    [He's trying to use logic on this. Think, Rufus! What pattern is Crow most likely to use?

    He tries a few things, including a half-hearted effort at coming up with something sexual. If he can't manage it he'll just pocket the thing.]

    Please do. I base that statement on personal experience.

    [ Shockingly, nothing sexual works. He raises an eyebrow when Rufus pockets the phone, though. ]

    You know, I need that thing.

    And yet I'll be keeping it, unless you want to tell me your passcode.

    Great, I'm going to have to change my password.

    [ He grumbles, then he sighs. ]

    Try swiping it in order: 1, 5, 9, 4, 8, 2, 6, 3, 7.

    [ The pattern should like like this. ]

    [...

    ...!!

    He's in!]

    Thank you.

    [That photo is GOING BYE-BYE.]

    [ At least it lives on with Jusis. ]

    Well, it was worth a shot.

    [ He holds his hand out for his phone. ]

    [he returns it, ever-so-nicely]

    I am not a man to be trifled with.

    [ The important question is, did he also delete the message where he sent it to Jusis so he can't re-download? Crow puts it back in his pocket without checking yet either way. ]

    Lesson learned and taken to heart!

    [ It's too bad Crow was a terrible student. ]

    [He absolutely did. He's a thorough asshole.]

    I doubt it. But I've won this round and I'll win again.

    [ Crow's lips quirk into a grin. ]

    We'll see about that.
