EVENT: ~*~Heat Wave~*~

[trainmasters]

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! ]]

Your world makes no sense whatsoever. That's annoying.

I almost want to say its the Reds and Blues fault somehow. Freelancer was action movie dramatics, sure, space special ops, but things just get suddenly weird and kinda dumb with them.

[time5kip]

And you remember absolutely nothing of value so far. There's that to consider as well.

[schrodingerscockroach]

Nothing for the time travel unless Church is like whatever Genkins is. Which might be sone clues.

[And pouring out coffee now. Will set out a cup for Five before getting cream and sugar for himself.]

[ Between alcohol and coffee he already drank, like, way too much already here but that's not going to stop him from taking another cup regardless ]

Thanks.

[ He's not saying anything else, not yet, but he is staying there and waiting for Dusk, just in case there's something he wants to add ]

[schrodingerscockroach]

[He's going to drink some of his coffee and hopefully it helps his headache subside.]

....so. Time travel happens. Destroy time and space, which probably means where we are is in some kind of...I don't know, a bit like us? Existing, but not quite existing?

[time5kip]

Somewhere outside of time and space. I'm familiar with the concept.

[schrodingerscockroach]

But maybe not wholly separated. I wasn't....surprised at Tucker having an alien baby. [Which sure was. A thing. That happened.] Maybe hijacking things. Delta was York's AI, and he wasn't there from what I could see.
