Who: anyone
When: day 38, after noon
Where: in and around the train

[A gentle breeze keeps the afternoon cool. It seems peaceful around now, with the malice pushed back so far, unless you're heading to the island of concentrated malice of course.

It's a good day to relax and daydream.

Distantly you might sometimes hear the tick ticking of clockwork? Or it might be your imagination.

Speaking of imagination, if you think about things too hard you may find your thoughts and feelings shared with those nearby. Or even if you don't think hard at all.

At the mildest this might simply be like your thoughts and emotions being understood by others next to you, either in a vague or explicitly detailed way, but at the most extreme you might project shared delusions. Something like others getting to watch your own memories. Or fantasy sequences. Or inner monologues. Or maybe even blending you delusions with another's.

Whether it goes that far or remains a more telepathic/empathic thing is very random.]

[ Crow has made his way to the beach where he's sitting near the water, just out of reach of the ebb and flow of the water. His eyes are closed and he's just letting himself quietly enjoy the breeze. For all appearances, it seems like he's lost in thought-- that he might not even notice his surroundings. ]

[awakenerd]

[Pretty deliberately making noise in the sand as he walks over.]

Hey.

[bad_crowmance]

[ Crow smiles and lifts his hand to wave, though he doesn't open his eyes. ]

Hey Rean. What's up?

[schrodingerscockroach]

[Oh, there's Crow. He's been looking for him.]

[Approaching in new pink hoody and pink camo pants.]

Crow?

[bad_crowmance]

[ He doesn't open his eyes but he does lift his hand and wave slightly. ]

Hey, Dusk. What's up?

[ His tone is breezy, cheerful. ]

[bowtiedbones]

[comes to crouch down next to him :v curious]

[bad_crowmance]

[ He's quiet for a moment before he speaks up. ]

Hey, what's up?

[malignstar]

[ Peering over to see if he's really asleep ]

[survivaltricks]

[who is this guy. . .]

[kicks a little bit of water at him. not a lot, just enough to get his attention]

[schrodingerscockroach]

[Dusk has some new pants and ahoody. He can go with the pink, but he'd like more comfort than overalls can provide.]

[He's walking along the outside of the forest, taking a look at the plants and watching some of the animals. Just taking stock of what all's around.]

((OOC: Dusk is still suffering from Charm affect, so for adult characters, say yay or nay if he's feeling attracted to you. For lulz.))

[awakenerd]

I like the look.

[It definitely suits Dusk better than overalls.]

[bowtiedbones]

[eyyy yay]

Oh my gosh! Your pants are super cute.

[Eliza's out on the beach with her skeleton familiars, directing the in the building of... something. Isildur and Isolde are stacking up a pile of a driftwood, while little Lori circles overhead, diving down to where Eliza is placing sticks at measured distances from the pile before fluttering away to observe again]

[did you know a skeleton could fly? turns out yes, she can!]

[voreaciously]

[80H approaches, wearing a maxi coverup and a large beach hat with some native flowers decoratively attached.

she is still wearing her blindfold and she has what looks like a bento wrapped up.]

Good day.

[survivaltricks]

[watching Lori fly from afar, hand lifted above his eyes, before he speaks loudly enough for Eliza to hear]

Is it magic or special skeletal aerodynamics?

[voreaciously]

[80H is at the beach and can be found doing a variety of things, crocheting under umbrella...i'm sorry, is that made of large leaves? And the shaft appears to be a large branch. huh

or she will be either in the water or emerging from it, with bunches of fish on...something. wires perhaps?

Perhaps you catch her digging a pit or walking along the shoreline. she seems to be searching for something.

in all scenarios she's wearing a maxi beach coverup with a large beach hat decorated in native flowers. she still wears her blindfold.]

[schrodingerscockroach]

Looking for something?

[Why are you digging?]

[malignstar]

Lose something?

[survivaltricks]

[oho, just the person he wanted to see]

[sidling up to her and her umbrella all casual like, hands resting in his pockets, one knee bent so it looks like he's doing the punk-ish side lean against said umbrella but he really isn't cuz he doesn't wanna knock it over. . .]

Nice umbrella. What're you working on?

[referring to her crocheting]

[nihilmancy]

[Hlasoh is sitting in the lounge with a stack of books beside her. She currently seems to be reading some sort of legal text? She doesn't really get it, but her study seems to be full of all sorts of random texts.

But if you wander nearby, you might detect, under the placid surface, jittery feelings of anxiety, bitter anger, and desperation, and if you concentrate, something dark and destructive and nihilistic, along with a deep sense of self-loathing.

Or maybe you're less sensitive and don't! That's also a possibility.]

[schrodingerscockroach]

[He was wandering nearby, about to go say hi and then]

[That]

[All happened]

[....the strangest things are so easy to deal with mentally and there's confusion on that, but mostly there's now a whole lot of Concern in turn.]

[He looks around, trying to spot anything weird, but it's just her and]

[Could it be?]

Hlasoh?

[bluediligence]

[ So, about being able to watch other people's memories ... If you happen to be hanging around in the lounge this afternoon, you might catch this memory from Faito playing on the screen. It's. It's pretty silly. Terrible skiing? A costumed skiing contest being hosted by a teacher projecting her own ideas of an ideal romance? Faito being oblivious to hostility, down on herself, and also sweet? Check, check, and check. ]

[ And Faito just, smiles. ]

I bet they looked so cool together ...

[survivaltricks]

[. . . well, he wanted to check in on her post-nomming, so he supposes now is a good time for that!1]

Yeah? Bet you looked cooler.

[schrodingerscockroach]

....wow, you really do assume the best of people.

[Its kibd of impressive.]

[nihilmancy]

[Hey wow, it sure is cool meeting you for the very first time because we've never seen each other before.

Lurking at the edge of the room, watching the memory sidelong. But she smiles a little at the antics, if a little sadly.]

Trying your hardest to learn something can be interesting too.
