EVENT: ~*~Heat Wave~*~
Who: Heroes! Old ones, new ones...!
When: Day 42, afternoon
Where: Around the train
[ Good news, everyone! Those pesky cicadas are gone at last! You might have even had a chance to relax, except....
Except for the heat wave.
It's like the worst parts of the last dregs of summer come to torture you with excrutiating heat. It's heat so bad you could swear that you've started melting yourself the second you step outside. It's terrible. At least with the cold you can add more layers on, how are you supposed to deal with heat?? You can't just walk around naked??
(That's not a suggestion.)
Here's the thing about the heat, though: It's bad enough that it's causing mirages-- mirages of people you may even recognize, people who are lost in the dark. People who will try to lead you into danger, people who don't want what's best for you after all....
That aside, you may or may not have noticed that there's some new teammates on the train! The notification appears cheerfully on everyone's Chains:
And you may find yourself wearing a label you can't seem to remove until you've spoken to at least one other person: "Hi, I'm ______! Talk to me about ______!"
There's a mischievous giggle in the wind that you may recognize as the same one that ran the plants and secrets game. ]
[[ NOTES: You're welcome to make team posts if you like, or intro directly into this mingle if you haven't already. Until next month's placements, the heat wave will persist. Characters stand the risk of seeing castmates not in the game until that point, mirages from the heat. Enjoy! ]]

[So one Senna newbie with vibrant hair and amber yellow skin is in the library, collecting books of all sorts and adding them to a pile she has on a table she's pushed closer to a wall.]
[For those who might observe a while, her movements switch. Sometimes she's very graceful. Other times, she's a klutz, tripping over herself, usually after her focus seems broken. Also she keeps picking up books with her mouth so....yeah.]
[She also has a label on her back she hasn't noticed. 'Hi, I'm ????! Talk to me about my fear of being useless!']
[Also that necklace is a powerful item if anyone feels magic auras.]

What a great way to continue the day.

There's soda in the communal fridge, leftover from movie night. Should be cold.
If it doesn't come off easily, it wants something else.

She takes a seat and a little kitten hops in her lap and she scritches it behind the ears before starting to knit.
"Hi, I am 80H! Talk to me about dollcraft!"]
no subject
Mind, the nametag is hard to see, because it attaches to Naeva's collar while she's in jackal form, and said jackal crawled over to sit at the very edge of the cooling effect.
please, 80H, she's melting, have mercy.]

[He's in the lounge for memories!]
[Included are having to play counselor for two leaders of armies that had probably been at Civil War right before an attack.]
[Bonding with teammates and his cute AI over skateboards and not being able to sleep at night.]
[So that purple guy who played counselor? Here he is, being interrogated by Wash and obviously not on so friendly terms.]
[Here is some more fighting and also Wash probably unsurprisingly sacrificing himself to save his teammates. Like a winner. Also weird shit that makes no sense just kind of happens.]
[And the weird gets worse. Possessing bodies, AI's, time paradoxes, also Tucker apparently had an alien baby. Caboose does not handle grief so well.]
