(no subject)

Who: heroes
When: day 30, midnight to dawn
Where: the train

[At precisely midnight a clock bell tolls, loud and mournful in the quiet night. An owl screeches, the dramatic chords of an organ start to play then are cut short in a jangle of notes.

If you're awake a hoarse voice growls, it might wake you even if you're asleep.]

Arise, heroes, and sate your hunger.

[Those not sleeping through all this will find a sudden spike in their primal urges. The needs of any form they possess may overcome reason, and the desire to slake thirsts both literal and metaphorical is intense.

If you're a wolf perhaps you want to hunt or draw close to your pack, if your taste is in blood, well. If you're just human it might be that your darker desires, possessiveness or even curiosity get the better of you in ways you don't normally let them. Desires need not be violent or sexually charged, but should be things your characters harbor at least some inclination towards wanting even if they deny it usually. Fluffy desires are still desires.

By morning light the effects will fade. And you'll all feel far less tired than you'd expect for a night partying.]

...I have felt better. To put it mildly.

[I mean it's the mother of all hangovers and approximately like a third of one of those memories was at all pleasant. He's going to wipe the blood off his face at least.]

You look like you gave yourself a concussion from the inside out.
newmodelblade: (When I come for your head.)

It appears all those memories at once is not how we're intended to do this.

[He laughs, weakly, and then groans a bit.]

More fool I, it seems.

Maybe pace yourself next time?
newmodelblade: (They won't give up.)

[personal profile] newmodelblade 2019-06-15 04:18 am (UTC)(link)
oh, I intend to. Both for my health and... well, the subject matter doesn't lend itself to wanting all at once, it seems. I had hoped perhaps my life would be more pleasant than all of that.

[He gestures to the screen.]

Hopefully the next batch will have less, um, duels.
newmodelblade: (They'll eat themselves to beat the clock)

...I hope so. I get the impression that that was more extreme than I realized, but it was still rather.

[He sighs.]

I would like to think I am not so rash.

Yeah... Just, um. No dueling people on the train?
