Who: anyone
When: day 29 all day
Where: wherever!

[Mingle, look at memories, run amok, whatever.

Or, you know, there's morning glories blooming all around the train today. Mostly white but with a few brilliant crimson flowers (do morning glories come in that color?), all of them smell sweet and lovely, though the red ones smell a bit like... cinnamon? They're also blooming all day, which is weird.

The scent wafts pleasantly through the train through the morning. The sweet scent brings the urge to be honest and express your emotions freely. The more spiced scent... might make you randy? No not the tall redhead. The other kind.

In either case neither effect is generally overwhelming, and can in most cases be overcome, if you happen to notice you're under any influence in the first place. The effects are subtle enough.

In the afternoon a light rain will crush the flowers, making the scents heavier, and the effects stronger for a few hours, before it all clears up in the evening.]

[awakenerd]

[Oh no. He touches it, blushing.]

It smells great, too.

[desirestruth]

Mmm...yes, but they don't smell like flowers. Or not like morning glories, in any case.

[She thinks about this, a second or two.] Well, the effects are probably not too dire, if there are any, but be a little careful. If they reveal memories like the moonflowers did, Crow won't like them.

[awakenerd]

[What's Crow got to do with getting lei'd??]

Okay?

[???]

I missed something interesting huh?

[desirestruth]

He likes hanging around you.

[She pauses. Sniffs.]

And you smell like him.

[awakenerd]

I spent the night at his place.

[Doesn't even think how that sounds.]

You've got a really good nose huh?

[desirestruth]

I'm surprised it took that long.

[Have you learned nothing from your conversation with Randy, Rean.]

Around a hundred times greater than a humans'...and even better, if blood's involved.

[awakenerd]

What took so long...?

[He never learns. It's his charm(?) point.]

That must be both handy and annoying.

[desirestruth]

Annoying?

[Why would it be, she's born like this??]

You sleeping with Crow.

[awakenerd]

If you encounter something that smells gross--

!?

Oh. Oh no. [That's what Lucky thought too come to think of it.]

I just stayed over!

[desirestruth]

Gross smells are part of living, and most of it's just decay, I'm already dead anywa--

[Staring at him flatly.]

...You spent the night with Crow and nothing happened.

[awakenerd]

We played poker!

Being dead doesn't mean gross isn't gross. I'm dead too, technically.

[desirestruth]

Decay isn't gross, it's just natural. Humans are too squeamish.

[She's still staring at him.]

...Strip poker?

[awakenerd]

[Going red in embarrassment just in general but it could be taken as being called out.]

Poker poker! We didn't bet anything!

[desirestruth]

...Is he sick? Concussed? Injured?

[SHE'S VERY WORRIED.]

[awakenerd]

He's fine?!

[desirestruth]

Then this doesn't add up!

[awakenerd]

Why? I know he's incorrigible but...

[desirestruth]

He's been all over you since you got here! He's friendly but he doesn't get that attached to anyone! How are you this oblivious!

[awakenerd]

[????]

Aren't you pretty close to him though?

[desirestruth]

One, I turned him down, two, ninety percent sure I no longer register as a sexual being to him, and three, I've been here the same amount of time he has.

You have not.

[awakenerd]

[???]

I mean can't you be close regardless of how he views you?

And you're right, I've barely gotten here, I barely know anyone. You probably know him a lot better than I do.

[And are therefor a lot closer?]

[desirestruth]

I--how close I am has no bearing on how much he likes you and in what way!

Which he does!

And it is not platonic!

[awakenerd]

[??????]

Well yeah he's flirty that's his personality.

But saying he's not close to anyone, I think he really likes both you and 80H.

[desirestruth]

He doesn't, that's--for fuck's sake.

[Just. Taking Rean's face in her hands. Gently squeezing.]

Rean. Stop using his relationships with other people to get around thinking about this. I am saying that he has grown very rapidly close to you, in a way that is different then how he treats other people.

[awakenerd]

[His face??]

We're from the same place. And we were classmates. Is being close that weird?
