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.]

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

Hey.

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

Hey Rean. What's up?

Not much. Enjoying the breeze. You?

Same here. Seems like a good day to spend outdoors.

Yeah. It's really nice out. Mind if I join you?

[ He opens one eye and glances over at him. ]

Of course, I'm always up for your company.

Charmer.

[Sitting with him though!]

Usually, but it has the benefit of being true.

I'm glad to hear it. I like your company too.

So how are you doing?

Not too bad. Still hallucinating, that part sucks.

[ Still can't directly lie, that part ALSO sucks. ]

Yeah. I wish there was more I could do.

Hey, you've already done more than enough. I'm sure it'll wear off soon.

[We've already got an empathy bind found but hey guess you get extra fond worry.]

Hopefully. Well, at least the effects weren't worse.

I don't even wanna imagine worse. I hate these ones enough...!

Hm, I guess if you were affected like Dusk it wouldn't be noticable anyway.

Oh? How was Dusk affected?

Well he's all... flirty? Not like you but more than he was.

Flirty, huh? Well if he's hitting on you, he's got pretty good taste. ....Though he's not hitting on me, so obviously there's room for improvement still.
