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.]]

Because the bond stuff is magic and protects our souls, right?

Yeah. Something like that. I guess the stronger our bonds the more power the prism has and the more it can do against the malice and for us.

And that gets us more train.

For...what does more train do? Just stuff for us?

I guess? To make our lives easier or have an easier time bonding. They do put us through some stress now and then.

You can buy upgrades to your room and cabin with sparks too. And they don't have to make sense. Like Ginger has a hot spring.

...seriously? Like a mountain hot spring? Not just hot tubs?

It's more like an indoor spring but yeah. It's pretty great. But basically I haven't heard of anything you can't buy, yet.

...this place is so weird.

[Like he can roll with it, he really can, but it is weird.]

That's an understatement. But, well, the down time is nice enough, and you can make it nicer if you work at it some.

You mean with the whole bonding, being friendly thing or something else?

Yep. At least I think so, but you seem on same page for that.

It's important if we want to win.

Also make life less miserable in general.

What do you do usually? For your extra effort?

Yeah.

I haven't been here as long as a lot of people, so mainly I like talking, getting to know people. Though I'm not against games, cooking, sparring, whatever.

Always up for games. Unsure on if cooking is a good idea. [Can he cook? Who knows.] Though it'd be cool if you and I could spar? I'd like to know what I can do and trial by fire may be quicker than memories.

[And hey, I'm already gonna fight your teammate a little bit when I run into her.]

I'm up for that any time, though... maybe when you don't look so beat?

....you know, if you keep saying that, just makes me want to spar with you now.

Seriously? Competitive streak?

...yeah, guess so.

[More like he doesn't like being seen as incapable.]

How about that for the next spot on our tour, where would be a good place to spar?

Probably outside would be best.

[Leading the way!]

Yeah, probably.

So how far out until it apparently gets dangerous?

The area around the train should be pretty safe, edges of the forest you'll want to keep an eye out, the deeper you go the more dangerous it gets.

Got it. Trees are danger.

At least alone.

[Here we are outside though whoo.]

This is probably the safest spot for casual training.

Awesome. [Taking a look around, stepping away a bit, stretching his arms.] Obviously no weapons since I don't have anything. Probably hold off on the magic-like abilities.

[Though he pauses, reaching back to his neck.] Well, the distance stuff. I don't think I've got anything for ranged attacks. Your call on closer range once we get started. I've got something on my spine, so there's a chance I have some physical augmentation.

Don't worry. I'll keep it physical. Just light hand to hand to see how far your reflexes and strength go, right?

[That's no reason to go all out for a bit of a physical test.]

That's fair. [Cracking his knuckles, scanning the area, just to be sure there's nothing in the trees.]

[He nods and turns to Rean.] Okay, come at me first, that'd probably be best way for instincts to kick in. [And while his demeanor had been fairly open and friendly so far, there's definitely a]

[Shift]

[Expression to something neutral, but focused, the relaxed airs vanishing completely.]
