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.]

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.

[bad_crowmance]

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.

[awakenerd]

Yeah I figured.

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

How'd that happen?

[bad_crowmance]

[ 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.

[awakenerd]

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.]

[bad_crowmance]

[ 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.

[awakenerd]

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

[bad_crowmance]

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

[awakenerd]

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

[bad_crowmance]

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! ]

[awakenerd]

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

[bad_crowmance]

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

[awakenerd]

Too late to reject being cute, Crow. You might need to accept you've got a sister substitute too. Whether or not you needed one.

[bad_crowmance]

Nope, I refuse! None of it's true and you can't get me to say otherwise.

[awakenerd]

Denial's bad for you, buddy.

[bad_crowmance]

I prefer to think of it as rejecting your reality and substituting it with my own.

[awakenerd]

Uh huh.

[bad_crowmance]

[ You can put a positive spin on almost anything if you try hard enough. ]

You should try it sometime.

[awakenerd]

No thanks. I like reality just as it is.

[bad_crowmance]

Suit yourself! ...But I'm still right.

[awakenerd]

Uh-huh.

[bad_crowmance]

And don't forget it~

[ He knows that wasn't an actual agreement but it's more fun to pretend it was.]

[awakenerd]

I'm not likely to forget anything to do with your delusions.

[bad_crowmance]

Just say, "You're right Crow, I'm sorry for doubting your infinite wisdom."

[awakenerd]

Yeah that's not happening in a million years.
