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.]

Do I?

[ He sounds both pleased and interested. ]

Apparently!

Tell me more~!

Uh... maybe not.

What, you're gonna hint like that and then not say anything? That's so mean! Cruel!

[ He is zero percent serious and it's coming through very clearly. ]

[Pats his head.]

There there. Just work on cleaning up your image, maybe. Or who knows what rumors you'll start.

The rumours make it more fun!

You're going to cause sooo many misunderstandings.

Who cares as long as the people who matter know the truth?

I can't tell if that attitude is admirable or irresponsible.

[ It can be both. ]

I can tell you which one I think it is.

Oh I know that answer.

You're something of a playboy though according to your reputation. I mean I can understand, you're charming.

[ And here he's only slept with three people so far! He doesn't say that, though. ]

Haha, is that so? I'm guessing you've been talking to Naeva, then.

Yep. Honestly I don't put too much stock in reputation, but I could totally see you as a lady killer. You've got the looks and the charm.

It's definitely not a reputation I'd object to.

[ He flashes a grin at Rean. ]

Pretty sure Naeva's got some strange ideas about me, though.

Yeah I figured.

[She thinks you like me, that's a given she's weird.]

How'd that happen?

[ She's not entirely wrong about that and Crow's even willing to admit it to himself, he's just not ready to actually do anything with that. It turns out self-esteem is not helpful if you're garbage at feelings. ]

Dunno! I think it's because I like to flirt with people so she's decided to project her own ideas based on that.

Well, maybe you're a more carefree person than she's used to dealing with.

[Turns out being good at feelings is useless if you have garbage self worth. So high five.]

[ High five, we're both disasters. ]

She said once or twice that I remind her of her brother... which actually makes me wonder if that's where she gets some of those ideas.

Yeah? That's possible. You might fit some ecpectations she has but not others. That's sweet though.

Not sure if "sweet's" the word I'd use. She's a brat.

Haha, see? You guys are cute. I definitely see the sibling comparison.

One, I am not cute. Two, Naeva is definitely not cute. Three, pretty sure I'm an only child.

[ So it definitely! Doesn't! Work! ]

Nooo. You're both cute. And adoption is a thing, you know.

I reject any and all cuteness coming my way. And adoption's definitely a thing but I'm not looking to be adopted.
