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!]]

[Sleep? There is no sleep. No, there is only INTERNAL SCREAMING as the Charm finally wears off.]

[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.]

[--oh.

Oh dear. Uh, should he. Let Dusk go for now? Sometimes people need space...]

Uh, later, then?

[personal profile] schrodingerscockroach 2019-08-18 04:06 am (UTC)(link)
[Maybe needs space.]

[Or just pretend nothing ever happened like that's healthy.]

[Either way, gonna swim....a while. Because it's away from people and even if he seems them, can dive under water, GREAT PLAN OF HIS.]

[Well, Rean won't bring it up for now... He might, come back in a bit to check on the new mermaid.]
schrodingerscockroach: (Ugh why me)

[Sometimes you're mortified and confused and have to just become one with the ocean a while.]

[He does need to eventually return to shore. Glad he got those cargo pants you can unzip the legs into shorts, makeshift swimsuit get.]

[A voice cuts through the water, mysteriously clear and not at all garbled.]

You are loud.

[80H appears, swimming smoothly to face him from beneath the waves.]
schrodingerscockroach: (Wet cat)

[Hello, Ginger. Please enjoy this new member sauntering out of his room in both overgrown sweater and fluffy coat. Not that he's slouching for long as he finds the nearest armchair and lounges in it.

Upon seeing anyone he'll give a little, offhand wave. He'd offer a greeting but doesn't feel like shouting over the sound of the cicadas.]

[personal profile] voreaciously 2019-08-18 05:09 am (UTC)(link)
Please do not drink the water.
schrodingerscockroach: (Ugh why me)

[personal profile] schrodingerscockroach 2019-08-18 05:12 am (UTC)(link)
Not. Trying to. [A few more rough coughs.]

[someone is out and about early today! in the lounge, even. he is nursing a cup of coffee and resting in a chair as a few memories play]

[first is this one, in which. . . someone is very, very weird]

[and then there is this one, in which someone is very protective!1]

[Twilight doesn't say anything when the memories are over, though. he just casually sips at his coffee, eyes closed, as though they never even played. . .]

[Oh. Hey a new guy. Rean will sit opposite him and wave back.]

Hey there.

[personal profile] awakenerd 2019-08-18 05:20 am (UTC)(link)
You all right there?
schrodingerscockroach: (Too much feel)

[personal profile] schrodingerscockroach 2019-08-18 05:24 am (UTC)(link)
[Head snaps up.]

[Then back down, and just gonna bury his face against his knees. Blush already showing on his neck.]

[ Noticing the sudden color change ]

Dusk?
schrodingerscockroach: (Just let me do this)

[personal profile] schrodingerscockroach 2019-08-18 05:25 am (UTC)(link)
[First weird friends which seems legit AND THEN THAT.]

....wow.

Fuck that guy. [RYUJI IS A VERY LEGIT PERSON TO PUNCH THAT DUDE.]
schrodingerscockroach: (Ugh why me)

[personal profile] schrodingerscockroach 2019-08-18 05:26 am (UTC)(link)
[Screee]

Uh-

[NOPE, he's really just gonna try and make a break for it because he doesn't know how to actually deal with his feelings.]
malignstar: (these dreams like ashes float away)

[personal profile] malignstar 2019-08-18 05:30 am (UTC)(link)
[ Has a shiny new black sword, which gives off a purplish black glow, and sure appears to be hacking at various fruits and vines in the jungle ]
malignstar: (% lol)

[personal profile] malignstar 2019-08-18 05:34 am (UTC)(link)
[ Well that was weird...

Time for a woof chase! ]

[Crouching beside him, looking out at the water. ]

Was it a good swim?

[personal profile] firstworldproblem 2019-08-18 05:36 am (UTC)(link)
[Leaning forward, fingers interlaced and giving him an open stare. It's as if he's looking for something. Something that he doesn't find if one can guess by the look that crosses his face. After a few moments, he leans back with a smile.]

If I am not mistaken you are to be one of my new friends and comrades. How quaint. Them grouping us up so. Tell me, how does the quest go thus far?

[He's having a crisis.]

[He's also doing really well to keep ahead of a wolf, go go augmentation.]

[Headed outside and just. Going for the water.]
schrodingerscockroach: (.....yeah okay)

[personal profile] schrodingerscockroach 2019-08-18 05:38 am (UTC)(link)
Well, I only want to murder Vampire for the heart thing right now.
