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.]

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.

[bad_crowmance]

Wanna bet?

[desirestruth]

Not without stakes. Sparks are boring.

[bad_crowmance]

Alright then, name your terms.

[desirestruth]

[She considers this for a long moment. And then smirks viciously.]

You take Rean on a nice date. Flowers, dinner, candles, the full romantic package. No complaining.

[A beat.]

And in a suit. No headband.

[bad_crowmance]

[ What. ]

What?!

[ WHAT??? ]

[desirestruth]

I can't tell if you're objecting to the date or the headband?

[SHRUGGING, VERY CASUALLY.]

You don't have to ante up if you don't want to...

[bad_crowmance]

All of the above?!

[ He's too vexed about the date thing to take the bait. ]

[desirestruth]

Would you believe this is the nicer option than the first one that came to mind?

[bad_crowmance]

What was the first one?!

[desirestruth]

Honesty.

[Shaking her head.] That'd just be cruel, instead of bratty.

[bad_crowmance]

I'm more honest than you're giving me credit for, you know.

Anyway, I'll be turning down this bet. I don't think I'm interested in going for those stakes.

[desirestruth]

Yeah, I know, but enforcing it unilaterally wouldn't be fun for anyone. But that's fair enough.

[bad_crowmance]

[ Crow grimaces and glances away.

He's not having fun anymore, this sucks. ]

[desirestruth]

...Well, this'll get that car started. [She shakes her head, and just. Tosses him something from her coat, before she starts to head away.

It's a pack of cards--actually, it's a really nice pack of cards. How long has she been holding onto those?]

[bad_crowmance]

[ He looks at the deck of cards for a moment before shoving them into his pocket and walking away in the opposite direction. ]

[desirestruth]

[It's fine, an apology note and warning about the flower effects will be delivered to his chain later, after she realizes them.

it may be far, far too late.]

[bad_crowmance]

[ It's probably too late.

He leaves her messagemarked as "read." ]
