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:
WELCOME NEW HEROES

[[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!]]

[Well, far be it for him to ignore that kind of guidance.]

[...he does pull away his hand to actually put on his hoody now that he's dried somewhat. Little weird to hug without a shirt? Probably.]

[But then she's going to get a hug and he's actually starting to get good at it with all the practice.]

[Hugs are meant to be comfortable, okay okay.]

[Hug all you need, he can take it.]

Anytime. Seriously, I'm here for you.

If you say "anytime," you'll never be rid of me.
schrodingerscockroach: (That's adorable)

What about my actions say I'd complain about that?
schrodingerscockroach: (You're too cute)

[personal profile] schrodingerscockroach 2019-08-31 02:58 am (UTC)(link)
So am I.

If a friend needs me, I'm gonna be there as best I can.

That goes both ways, okay? If there's ever anything I can do for you and you need it.

[He smiles and nods.] Got it.

[He.....he does try to remember.]

[He's just bad at it.]
schrodingerscockroach: (ALSO PRETTY RUDE SMILE)

[Gonna add a hair ruffle for good measure.]

Feeling better?
schrodingerscockroach: (:))

I'll make sure to remember the power of hugs then.
