Who: everyone
When: Day 35 morning
Where: the lounge car

[This morning, or whenever you wake up, you will find that there are delicious smells wafting from the lounge car. Upon investigation, one will discover a beautiful spread of hot cocoa and tea and coffee and many marshmallow animals, ideal for putting in your drinks or simply eating wholesale. It isn't just cats either, but many animals of a similar quality of marshmallow, whatever kinds you'd like. But you may find the warm fuzzies they impart might be a bit more than internal.

In a conspicuous place is a note in handwriting many of you may find quite familiar at this point:

Thanks for your help.

- Hazel

His signature isn't alone, either. There are a couple of others, though somehow they're far less readable? Some are definitely just little drawings. Weird.]

[[ooc notes: 10% furry event!! many marshmallows have no effect, but those that do will instill temporary animal parts up to a kemonomimi level! enjoy your ears and tails, folks. and your newbies.]]

[Sigh of relief.] Okay. Okay, yeah, that's good to know.

Haha, didn't mean to scare you there!

Its fine. Just good to know sometimes it can happen.

What does talking do? Is it just like...mingling?

Yeah, pretty much. Things like doing certain activities for points, the more you wrack up the likelier it is you'll win.

....

[That is weird.]

[WHY DOES IT SOUND REASONABLE.]

Well, that's not so bad.

What do you know about when the Malice attacks?

Not a whole lot, unfortunately. As far as I can tell, it's pretty random.

That's unfortunate. Nothing stand out at all?

[ He shakes his head slightly. ]

If there's a pattern, I haven't figured it out yet.

Lovely. [So dry.]

...what about outside? Can we just....go out?

Oh yeah, it gets more dangerous the further out you go so you might wanna have someone with you until you can figure out whether or not you can fight... but technically, you can go pretty much wherever.

[He looks down at himself.]

[He's got a whooooole lot of scars for what skin is exposed. Burns and bullets and something seems to have tried to cut off his feet. ~~Thanks 80H.~~]

Well, it's either tragic backstory, or I can fight. [Looking up with a sardonic grin.] Now how I fight is a good question, that part I'll need to figure out.

But that's good to know. At least learn a bit about this Malice. Do you know whose a good fighter on board?

Well, there's me.

[ There's not a hint of modesty there. He's a good fighter and he knows it. ]

Rean's also good, and there's Rufus, Naeva, 80H....

[He looks over at 80H with a thoughtful hum. Because he's still not sure she DOESN'T know him. He hums thoughtfully and then looks back at Crow.]

And whose willing to spar in that group? If you know?

Me for sure, probably Rean as well. I'm not sure about the others but it wouldn't hurt to ask.

Maybe we can give that a shot in the near future? If I'm any good, I should have some stuff by pure instinct. See what I'm used to having and doing.

Sure, sounds good to me! Hit me up when you've gotten more settled.

Great. Thanks for the help.

[Though at least he'll have more of an idea after he accidental fights his sister later.]

Anything you think is important to know about this place beyond basics?

You're gonna want to get close to people-- the more we bond with each other, the more we can fight back against the Malice. At least, that's the general idea.

That shouldn't be a problem. So far, I seem to be really into the whole team spirit thing and believe in the value of cooperation.

Haha, sounds like you'll do just fine then. Rean and Naeva'll both love you.

Rean is really straight forward on the whole thing. Naeva about the same?

Yeah, they're both pretty straight shooters. Not everyone's good at the whole bonding deal and they're the ones who are doing the most legwork towards community building and whatnot.

[He nods, looking thoughtful a moment.]

I think. I'll see what I can do to help with that. Not sure how good I'm at that sort of thing, but if it'll help keep people from getting corrupted, it's worth giving it a shot.

That's the attitude! You're gonna do just fine here.

[Aaaaah, more praise. It's still kind of weird to get? At least for stuff like this.]

I'll do my best.
