(no subject)

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.]

[Well in the morning... this guy is in licorice. Hi licorice. Make of that what you will.

Later in the morning Randy will get a text asking if he's available and in the afternoon Rean will be out examining the flowers.]

[personal profile] crimeson 2019-06-14 01:46 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah. Should we meet up?

[personal profile] awakenerd 2019-06-14 01:48 am (UTC)(link)
[He could have just telepathied this but a text seems less invasive.]

I'd like to if you have time.

[personal profile] crimeson 2019-06-14 01:53 am (UTC)(link)
[thanks babe]

I do. Where to?

[personal profile] awakenerd 2019-06-14 02:09 am (UTC)(link)
[Sometimes a voice in your head isn't what you want okay he knows.]

Would the garden work?

[personal profile] crimeson 2019-06-14 02:23 am (UTC)(link)
Works just fine. I'll be there in a few.
awakenerd: (14)

[personal profile] awakenerd 2019-06-14 02:24 am (UTC)(link)
[Rean will be there! Hanging out with plants. He's had time to think but he hasn't really sounded his thoughts out to anyone, like he'd normally want to.]
crimeson: (but i won't wait much longer)

[personal profile] crimeson 2019-06-14 02:26 am (UTC)(link)
[Randy ambles right on up without pretense.]

Hey.

[in the middle of the flowers, popping out of wolf mode with a sneeze]

Um, some of these smell spicy? That's not just me, right?

[IS THIS JUST A WOLF THING??]

[He already knew the moment Randy was close but he looks up with a smile at the greeting.]

Hey. How're you doing?

[Absolutely immediately upon seeing Rean in the morning:]

Oooh, someone's been bonding! ♡
crimeson: (i wouldn't have it any other way)

[personal profile] crimeson 2019-06-14 02:33 am (UTC)(link)
Pretty good, pretty good.

[you know, his default reaction without taking actual circumstances into account. settling by Rean, though.]
voreaciously: (85)

open to anything. like, it's me.

[80H is out amongst the flowers, but she is in Jasmine garb, not her TOTALLY LEGIT UNIFORM. She is wearing a long, flowing, blue skirt with many layers and a bunched, white top. Sandaled toes peek between her many light skirts.

Her eyes, however, remain blindfolded. It's tied in a bow to the side with silver, blue, violet, and marigold ribbons in the ties.

She is sitting seiza style and making flower crowns.]


Such lovely little harbingers.

[personal profile] awakenerd 2019-06-14 02:37 am (UTC)(link)
[Yes come sit.]

Yeah? Because yesterday was kind of a mess.

[Which is entirely Rean's fault and he has to fix it somehow.]
awakenerd: (80)

[personal profile] awakenerd 2019-06-14 02:38 am (UTC)(link)
...?

[Oh, he means THAT. Should he bother correcting the misconception or just accept it?]

... Good morning to you too.
crimeson: (it's hard)

[personal profile] crimeson 2019-06-14 02:45 am (UTC)(link)
[MAYBE IT'S ALSO RANDY'S FAULT!!! HAVE YOU CONSIDERED THAT!!!

c-called out.]

...Well. Yeah.
voreaciously: (53)

[personal profile] voreaciously 2019-06-14 02:46 am (UTC)(link)
Like cinnamon, yes.

[He has not considered that in the slightest. Everything Rufus said was correct and also deserved, thank you for coming to my TED talk.

Mostly what bothers him is hurting Randy's feelings and also Rufus's though.]

I'm kind of an idiot. So I should probably start by apoligizing for that. It wasn't at all my intention to hurt you, but i did. And while you went out of your way to help me too.

Rufus wasn't wrong to yell at me. I'm glad he was looking out for you, because i totally messed up on that.
crimeson: (get rid of the spite)

[personal profile] crimeson 2019-06-14 02:52 am (UTC)(link)
[Randy puts his face in his hands and groans.]

Look. A lot of it is on me for not remembering exactly how you are about this kind of stuff in context? So much could have been avoided if I'd just thought to myself "oh right use straightforward words with Rean and don't assume implications mean jack shit"?
bowtiedbones: (20)

[personal profile] bowtiedbones 2019-06-14 02:57 am (UTC)(link)
Okay, good, it's not just me! I didn't think flowers could smell spicy, but I guess they do now.

[personal profile] awakenerd 2019-06-14 02:59 am (UTC)(link)
[Whines a little at being called an idiot basically but he can't argue it!! He is one!!]

I didn't mean to imply things! I'm really sorry. You shouldn't have to adjust your expectations to me being oblivious, I should be able to pick up on things better.

[Should. But his mind just doesn't really work in that direction and never has.]

Rufus was direct too. This time it really is entirely on me for causing you pain, and by extension him as well.
crimeson: (believe me)

[personal profile] crimeson 2019-06-14 03:05 am (UTC)(link)
[reaches over and paffs his shoulder gently.]

It's just. We talked around the concept of dating, obviously, an' then you said you were surprised you needed to respond at all, and just. Left it? There?

Maybe if I hadn't been so surprised by the whole thing I would've realized, but instead I got bummed out without actually thinking about it.

[personal profile] awakenerd 2019-06-14 03:08 am (UTC)(link)
[Groans and rubs a hand over his face.]

I wasn't thinking how it sounded. I wasn't thinking at all. Sorry.
crimeson: (one day i'd like to say)

[personal profile] crimeson 2019-06-14 03:13 am (UTC)(link)
It's okay. Sorry it became such a mess.
awakenerd: (191)

[personal profile] awakenerd 2019-06-14 03:15 am (UTC)(link)
That's my fault.

But we should talk about it. What do you want out of all this, ideally?
