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.]]

[BUT THAT OTHER THING.]

It's not like....it's....when I figured out what you meant, I had a lot of reactions that I think I need to examine, but it wasn't like...horror? Or repulsed or anything like that? [If anything, he's mostly embarrassed he was accidentally propositioning Rean.]

But sometimes shit breaks bad and you gotta do something just because you need to, to survive so.

If.

There's a need, you at least know the option is on the table so it's easier to get help without....you know....having some kind of crisis or whatever.

[HE'S SO CHARMED AND EMBARRASSED HE'S GOING TO DIE. Here lies Rean Schwarzer, he was already a ghost but Wash killed him.

This has got to be up there in awkward but extremely touching conversations he's had. He can't remember his life but dang.

And he gets what Wash means and it really is heartwarming and kind and he can't tell if he's more red personally from embarrassment at the sweetness or the context.]

I. Yeah. Thank you. If--if it ever really comes down to that... hopefully it never gets to be an emergency but, the offer is genuinely, sincerely appreciated. And I won't forget it.

[He mainly means he won't try to refuse help, he's just so flustered.]

As for being a contractor... it's something you should know about more and maybe talk to Randy and Crow to get a good picture, but I'm not likely to refuse if ultimately you decide that's something you actually want with me.

At least, when you have a better idea of what you want in general.

[Wash is an expert at killing ghosts, just ask Alpha Church.]

[But it just seems like a thing that should be done. They're all in this together and he's always been someone who made it a point to fill in the role that was needed for the team. And well, Rean is a very kind and earnest type, and there's a serious risk of that type being stupid at proper self care. He doesn't want to find that out the hard way.]

G-good. Just. Yeah, got it established. Always good to have emergency protocols. Better to have and not need then to need and not have and....al that.

[Can he die now, ugh. Is he always gonna be this flustered, is that his normal? Ugh.]

Yeah, that's fair. And I can do that. Just. I don't know, I don't like not having plans for things going south, I think. Especially since teams are apparently lacking people, it doesn't bound well.

But we can talk details and I can think it over while I get memories.

[Good thing Wash wasn't around for the days before Rean got contracts and failed utterly to be intelligent about taking care of himself sorry he's gonna fulfill expectations.]

Right. R-right. Yes. Contingency plans are good.

[He agrees on that! Totally! It's just embarrassing when sex has to be part of a contingency plan.]

Yeah. Things aren't... in a great situation. Clover was entirely empty when I arrived, and we'd just lost a team too. Rufus was alone on Ginger and the other teams seem in similar situations. So... well the more we bond, with each other and everyone else, hopefully the better.

[And this is why he made the offer!!!]

Yeah. Great. Glad we agree. [Contingency sex plan is a go.]

....it's that low? I figured out the teams had to be mostly even, but...

How many people are there on the teams?

[Dropping the embarrassing topic for now we can revisit... later. Let us live.]

Apparently there used to be more. I don't know the maximum amount myself. But if the doors in the cabins are any indication most teams seem at half capacity or under.

[We can live now. Bond and then revisit terrible life decisions.]

So about four or less.

Ample supply my ass. [80H!!!!]

[He sighs, rubbing at his face. The blush is going down. At. Least.]

[Looks at Rean with a thoughtful look.]

Ample supply...?

[He's looking back like, what's up buddy? His own blush is gone by now, switching tracks easily.]

80H. She said it'd be a waste to bother with her because there's 'ample supply' of people to bond with. [He looks very unimpressed.]

[But if the number is even lower than the number he'd assume....shit, this stuff is really important now and if Rean and Naeve are the big forcers, then they really need more, and if Clover is all basically new....]

[He really has to put in the effort here.]

How comfortable are you with the stuff on the Bond list? I can guess you're always for the defending thing, but the rest?

80H will do anything to discount herself.

[Sigh.]

I'm fine with all of it. Why?

Yeah. Definitely got that impression, but that's just being ridiculous.

Well.

Something simple enough. And might help if we DO have to do the contingency plan....

[He gestures for Rean to come closer, the blush returning.]

[WELCOME TO MORE MURDER.]

[Look he's not stupid he can see that blush and hear those words but he figures, it's probably like, a head pat. Everyone loves giving him headpats so he walks over.]

Hm...?

[Gosh, that sure is a head pat. Which is more just pushing his bangs back.]

[THEN A FOREHEAD KISS.]

[Followed by a hair ruffle.] That....sort of thing, right?

[Oh.

Look he wasn't expecting it until Wash leaned in but now he's just bright red again.]

Oh.

[Jeez. Heck. He's going to be slain by this guy.]

Y-yeah that'd work.

[HE WANTS TO BE SURE THE BOND TOOK.]

Oh good. That's...that's really...

[Nope, just gonna step back and puts his hands over his face and maybe die a little.]

Really good.

[But really, this is for the best. It makes bonds AND preps for any possible contingency happenings.]

[He's torn between dying himself and just being utterly charmed and endeared by Wash being cute.

Both things at once. Charmed and dying.

He scrubs his own face with his palm then manages an expression that isn't too awkward.]

In that case, I swear to bond with you whenever you wish.

[The silliness of the solemn oath comes out in his wry grin at the end.]

[YOU KNOW HOW TERRIBLE THAT SOUNDS AFTER THEY TALKED ABOUT CONTINGENCY SEX.]

[His blush is just gonna be there a few minutes probably.]

[He has to laugh a little bit because god. What is his life right now.]

It's a promise then.

[Okay no he's laughing too, reaching, uh, up, to ruffle Wash's hair. ]

Get a name soon though. Or I'll have to name you myself.

[....wow, its weird to be on the other side of that.]

[but hair ruffle go.]

Working on it, but I really think it should be decided with Clover. Feels important that its with my team.

I'm not sure I'm good at naming anyway so good call. It's good to bond with them.

That's what I figure. Just doesn't feel right otherwise.

I can't say I know them well yet. I should work on that.

Please do.

....hey, how well over do you think pranks would go over with people here? [MAYBE SOME LAUGHS WILL HELP BONDING]

Probably great with Crow, if you want to escalate forever. Randy too, most likely. I'm not sure about anyone else. Maybe Naeva? You'd probably get scolded by Eliza unless you roped her into it instead of doing it on her.

Do not, under any circumstances, prank Rufus.

...escalate forever, huh. [He could work with that.] And having partners is always fun.

The uptight kind, huh?
