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.]

[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.]

[schrodingerscockroach]

[He looks up and smiles.] Thanks.

It feels a lot more comfortable. Also, more pockets.

[awakenerd]

Can't say no to the convenience of pockets.

[schrodingerscockroach]

They're the best. Especially deep ones.

[He can store so many things.]

[awakenerd]

You have my agreement there.

Planning on some exploring?

[schrodingerscockroach]

I think so. It'd be good to know what's actually around us with the Malice gone.

[awakenerd]

I agree. Getting your bearings is important.

[schrodingerscockroach]

Wanna come with me?

[awakenerd]

I'd love to. I've looked around myself some but there's more to see.

[schrodingerscockroach]

Yeah.

So forest, marsh, or town?

[awakenerd]

I leave that to you.

[schrodingerscockroach]

Hmmm.

Let's check the town.

I think we'd do better than most if a building collapsed.

[bowtiedbones]

[eyyy yay]

Oh my gosh! Your pants are super cute.

[schrodingerscockroach]

[:)]

That they are. [Grinning.] And much better pockets.

[bowtiedbones]

So much better. You could probably fit a full purse's worth of stuff in there.

[schrodingerscockroach]

More with the hoody.

I can also unzip the lower half off to make shorts.

[bowtiedbones]

That's practical! Very beach-friendly.

[schrodingerscockroach]

I thought so. Or if things get too hot. [Finally have clothes he's ready to Do Stuff In.]

[bowtiedbones]

We've actually been pretty lucky here, so far. There's been rain, but it's never been baking out.

[schrodingerscockroach]

Especially here. [Looks at the water. That'd be really humid.]

What has the weather been like? Just rainy or....?

[bowtiedbones]

Mostly a lot of rain lately.

[schrodingerscockroach]

Hm. [He wonders what that says about the rest of the world. Or maybe they're in the rainy months.]

[Or maybe it's the Malice.]

[Actually]

Wait, how long has the train been in operation anyway?

[bowtiedbones]

This is Day 38.

[schrodingerscockroach]

....that.....

Is a lot shorter than I was expecting.
