EVENT: Upgrades x2!

Who: everyone
When: Day 39, morning
Where: the train!

[Morning dawns on the Aurora with a bang -- literally. A huge crack in the air, like nearby lightning, rattling the train. Look outside in the direction of the still-corrupted island, and you'll see a towering ray of black, malevolent light shooting out into the stars. It continues for a few seconds, flickers, and dies out, leaving no trace of its brief presence.

In its wake is a silence that makes your ears ring, interrupted shortly by the sound of an alert on your Chain. There's an administrator message for you:

★: Hi everyone and good morning!

★: Thanks to all your hard work, we've been able to add two new communal cars to the train. Enjoy your new gym and library! We weren't sure what books you'd like, so we grabbed whatever came to mind. Hope they suit you!

★: Oh, and we noticed a spike of malicious energy just now. No idea what it was, but I'd keep your eyes peeled extra until we've figured it out. It might have something to do with how close we've gotten to purifying this Star.

★: Anyway, thanks as always. And remember, keep positive!


True to the prince's word, you'll find your two new cars attached to the back of the train. Pass through the garden car to find the new gym. It consists of several rooms: a weight room, a room of various machines, a studio for yoga or dance, and a training hall fully equipped with practice weapons according to the tastes of everyone already on the train. Each room is entered from a small lobby containing a few couches and a vending machine that pops out custom smoothies and cold water bottles -- which somehow only works after you've had a workout.

Behind the gym is the library. Near the entrance from the hall you'll find a terminal with a list of all available books. Searching a title will give you the location of the book on the shelves. If a title isn't currently in the library, you may request a copy be added, and it will show up within a few minutes. The library currently has two floors of shelves, containing books that characters who are or have been on the train would find familiar. If the book is common in your character's world or they have a close knowledge of it, they can probably find it here. There are, however, a disproportionate number of romances...

There's also a central reading area, with tables and comfortable chairs for studying or lounging. And a good thing, because if you attempt to remove a book from the library it'll disappear right from your hands to return to the shelves. No late returns for you, Crow lazybones!

For now there's no further activity on the corrupted island, so you may as well enjoy the fruits of your labour!]

[He's definitely fine with the hanging off. But yeah, he's still got some shame for things like this.]

[He chuckles at that, hands resting on his hips.] I aim to please.

A very important quality.

I like to think so.

Kind of surprised me for a second there.

You mean your sudden interest in initiative?

More the aggression? Not that I mind, just didn't expect it.

Aggression? Oh you mean the kiss! I guess I do get a little carried away sometimes. Sorry about that. I'll try to be more of a team player next time.
schrodingerscockroach: (Its kind of sweet)

Re: Bond

[personal profile] schrodingerscockroach 2019-09-29 04:09 am (UTC)(link)
[Staring a moment longer.] Well, if you want. I don't mind aggression or anything, just like to know what my partner is going for.

Careful~. I can be insatiable once I get my claws into someone.

Guess you don't.

[ Stealing another kiss because he can ]
schrodingerscockroach: (That's adorable)

Re: Bond

[personal profile] schrodingerscockroach 2019-10-07 06:54 am (UTC)(link)
[He absolutely can, getting a kiss in return.]

You guessed right.

[ Since he's more prepared for it this time, there's no fight for dominance, just a satisfied smirk. A perfectly content cat. ]


Talk about generating sparks.

[He shrugged.] Kind of need a break for new sparks.

This is just for fun.

A different type of spark.
schrodingerscockroach: (So fond)

[personal profile] schrodingerscockroach 2019-10-20 07:40 am (UTC)(link)
That's one way to look at it.
malignstar: (will you play this game)

[personal profile] malignstar 2019-10-20 04:22 pm (UTC)(link)
I can think of other~ ways to generate sparks.
schrodingerscockroach: (Hey)

[personal profile] schrodingerscockroach 2019-10-21 02:49 am (UTC)(link)
Oh? And what ways are that?
malignstar: (will you play this game)

[personal profile] malignstar 2019-10-21 05:08 am (UTC)(link)
Well, ones that require a more private setting to start with.
schrodingerscockroach: (Smug)

[personal profile] schrodingerscockroach 2019-10-27 06:28 pm (UTC)(link)
Well, if you're not busy....

[Charm Wash is just gonna be Tucker, and this is why he almost drowned himself.]
malignstar: (hell's angels)

[personal profile] malignstar 2019-10-27 07:21 pm (UTC)(link)
[ And Felix is going to be the love-starved kitty that he is, as he takes hold of both of Wash's wrists to tug him along ]

I've got all the time in the world for you.
schrodingerscockroach: (So fond)

[personal profile] schrodingerscockroach 2019-10-30 10:20 am (UTC)(link)
[Following along very willingly.]

Glad to hear it.
