EVENT: The Sound of Summer
Who: darers, newbies, and everyone else!
When: Day 40, dawn
Where: around the train
[After several hours of Kiss or Dare, the bar lights go off and you're let out into the grey pre-dawn. The Cat isn't one for ceremony, so there's no closing fanfare -- but in the sky are new stars in cobalt, pink, & violet. Congratulations to the winners!
You could go home and get some sleep, but you might have a rough time with that. As the sun appears in the sky, there's a horrible ruckus -- the sound of what seems like a million cicadas suddenly springing to life. They're staying in the canopy, not causing particular problems with buzzing around, but they are deafening.
Occasionally, you may hear one particularly low-pitched cicada noise. If you do, cover your ears, else you become hypnotized, overcome by a destructive urge. Those effected will find themselves compelled to act out violence on inanimate objects -- it's only property destruction, but the longer you're effected the more likely you are to lash out at anyone trying to stop you.
Good thing the hypnosis is broken by hugs, because this will be lasting for awhile.
Maybe it's the noise or maybe it's just bad timing, but the arrival of the cicadas is accompanied by the arrival of some new teammates! As always, the notifcation will appear on everyone's Chains:
[[NOTES: Announcements and placements are up over here. You're welcome to make team posts if you like, or intro directly into this mingle. The cicadas will be here until next month's placements, so please feel free to interact with them in your own posts throughout the month. If you have questions, please comment to the announcements post. Thank you!]]

[Anyone paying attention might notice him go beat red.]
[If not that, others may find him outside later and just. Swimming. Or maybe screaming into the water. Hard to say from a distance.]

because he's just. destroying a swathe of rainforest, splintering trees all the way down with his oddly blunted halberd. it's a frankly alarming show of strength, but at least he has the sense not to use his fire-based skills. yet.]

It is crystalised chaos.
80H is raining hell down in iridescent fractals with her naginata as she slices through trees as though they were made of butter, but in their wake, frost spreads, blossoms. There does not seem to be rhyme or reason to any of it, and she does not stop. It is as though everything around her is a most dangerous foe that needs to be brought down immediately.]

[And sees the ice. And her.]

[ In the first, Kaito's a skirt-flipping perv and a probably-yakuza guy is rude. ]
[ In the second, Faito dresses up as riot police at an actual active crime scene, because why wouldn't she. ]
... I don't know how to feel about this.

[Also dropping a cat into her lap.] But we can definitely cross off secret dad for the list.
