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.]

[She doesn't say anything for a while, and then shakes her head, just turns away.]

It's alright, Crow. You don't have to stretch yourself to be comforting.

[bad_crowmance]

Well, if you say so. But I will say this-- it sounds like the only one making you lonely is yourself.

[desirestruth]

I can't pretend I don't need anyone else, Crow.

[bad_crowmance]

[ That's not what he meant



but he's not going to clarify. ]

Well, I'm sure you'll figure something out.

[desirestruth]

[Look, she's surrounded by people who actively don't care about or trust others, and her feelings run at 11. it's worse when you actually like those people, Crow.

It wears a girl down.]

Such faith in me.

[bad_crowmance]

In your stubbornness, anyway.

[desirestruth]

...Am I really that bad?

[Naeva, honey.]

[bad_crowmance]

....You're kidding, right?

[desirestruth]

[Staring back at him.]

Where would I even draw a baseline of comparison?

[bad_crowmance]

[ He just gestures broadly around them. ]

Pretty sure the only person who's got you beat is 80H.

[desirestruth]

...Oh no.

[THAT IS DISHEARTENING.]

[bad_crowmance]

[ He laughs at that. ]

You look so depressed. It doesn't have to be an insult, you know.

[desirestruth]

It's not a particularly...endearing trait, is it?

[Shaking her head a little.]

You don't have to answer that.

[bad_crowmance]

Maybe not, but it can be an admirable one when used the right ways.

[desirestruth]

[Honesty flower isn't enough to make her answer with her first thought to that.]

I suppose you'd be an expert?

[bad_crowmance]

Of course I am!

[desirestruth]

Being exactly as stubborn as I am, you'd probably have to be.

[bad_crowmance]

Awww, flattery will get you everywhere.

[desirestruth]

Oh, I better stop, then. Your ego gets any bigger and you'll need a train car to yourself.

[bad_crowmance]

....I wouldn't mind having a train car to myself...

[desirestruth]

As nice as it would be to have somewhere to contain you, no.

[bad_crowmance]

I wonder if I could buy my own train car, though.

[desirestruth]

I will tell Cardamom to deny it, don't think I wont.

Just buy a casino, if you're gonna spend sparks like that.

[bad_crowmance]

No way! It's a matter of pride now-- I'm getting that casino without paying for it.

[desirestruth]

I think your odds are worse now then they were last time.
