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!]]

[that first memory]
About which part? The jerk, or the probably a yakuza jerk?
[thanks Twilight you're being very specific right now]
no subject
And that guy has got to be yakuza. What the fuck. Did I get all of these scars because I got into a gang war or something...?
no subject
[he should be concerned]
[why is he not concerned]
no subject
no subject
[his hands dip into his pockets with a gentle huff]
A little concerned, yeah. . . but you're still here. So if you got into a gang war, you at least survived it.
no subject
[ Her lips are twitching, though; she's not actually being serious. ]
From what I can tell, it'd take a lot more than some gang war to take me down. [ Rubs lightly at the scar ringing around her neck. ]
no subject
Yeah, I am pretty offended over that part on your behalf.
[SKIRT FLIPPER? SEEMS LIKE A DICK!!!]
[but back to gang wars]
And that wouldn't surprise me. You're pretty tough.
