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:
WELCOME NEW HEROES

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! ]]

[ With a quiet hum, she … loosely wraps an arm around him, unobtrusive but there. ]

I hope your friend got better. [ She can't imagine that things went back to the way they were, whatever that was. But to something that was good and liveable, if different? Yeah. ] And I hope your next memory is gonna be you catching a break for once.
schrodingerscockroach: (Resigned but okay)

I do too. It looks like we split off, hopefully he's getting help or some kind of break.

[Haha, sob.]

I mean, not everything is so bad. I have friends with people. Not like I didn't expect a lot of drama and fighting.
bluediligence: (My trousers fell down.)

Fingers crossed!

I'm not saying that everything's terrible forever or that you're … I don't know - miserable and alone or something. [ Huffs a bit of a laugh. ] Just that it seems like you could use a vacation. A vacation without drama.
schrodingerscockroach: (Sigh)

[personal profile] schrodingerscockroach 2019-09-28 09:39 pm (UTC)(link)
...technically, that might have been me shipwrecked.
bluediligence: (Not everything is deducible.)

[personal profile] bluediligence 2019-09-28 10:12 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm ... I'm not sure that counts.
schrodingerscockroach: (Well we could)

[personal profile] schrodingerscockroach 2019-09-29 12:13 am (UTC)(link)
Well, I mean, I had enough time to just make training regiments and obstacles courses.

That's kind of relaxing.
bluediligence: (Complicated drama has drawn you here.)

[personal profile] bluediligence 2019-10-06 11:41 am (UTC)(link)
... You relax by building obstacle courses?
schrodingerscockroach: (Sass in armor)

[Shrugs.] Something to do that's not counting rocks.

Not sure there were many books after a shipwreck.
