EVENT: BLANKET FIC

[trainmasters]

Who: All the lovely Heroes!
When: Day 44, morning
Where: Around the train

[ It may have been only a few days, but did that heatwave feel like it lasted forever to anyone else? No? Either way, it's gone now. Bringing with it a blessed coolness. Actually wait, it's cold-- too cold! Worse yet, not even going into the train seems to really help. Fortunately, someone seems to have been kind enough to leave some nice, fuzzy blankets lying around. Too bad it doesn't seem to help much unless you share them with someone...

Either way, you're in luck because you've got some new teammates on the train! The notification appears cheerfully on everyone's Chains:

WELCOME NEW HEROES

Enjoy the cold...? ]

[[ 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 cold snap will persist-- along with the lovely blankets lying around. Enjoy! ]]

A. Senna

[ There is a young woman with long black hair wearing the Senna pajamas and boots, acting for all the world as though it's a proper outfit on its own. If you haven't seen her before, it's because she's only just showed up. Rather than reacting in any severe way, however, she seems instead intent on exploring the living room area. ]

...It's not bad.

[ That's all she has to say about that. ]

B. Out and About

[ After she's taken a bit of time to get used to her new digs, Rin can be seen walking around in the same outfit as above. Isn't she affected by the cold? Well yes, judging by the slight shiver you might see from her, but she otherwise doesn't seem to care. She's making her way through each of the train's cars, determined to explore on her own. Or so it seems-- she just brushed right past you, deftly avoiding so much as touching you even as she breezes on by. ]

[daydreamshimmer]

[Sunset actually is wearing more clothes now. Because it's COLD and that's why you WEAR clothes, when coats and manes aren't enough. She's still unsure on the shoes, she's thinking about those, but at least wearing socks.]

[And coming down in a daze, her hair a mess, and not looking at all ready to face the day. She hasn't even noticed the newbie yet as she heads to the kitchen.]

[learnedfool]

[Oh, this is a new person]

Good morning. I don't believe we've met.

[malignstar]

Probably hanging upside off a train car or some shit

You sure you want to be wandering around in your pajamas? It's pretty cold out here.

[nhaamasblessing]

A. (Jasmine)

[ok so, the clothes she found in her room?? not at all conducive to being warm. so she's walking out the door shivering, holding the long jacket around her for dear life, looking a little bit lost as she looks around.]

B. (any)

[oh shit, blankets! snatching one of those right up, thank you very much.

...except it's doing utterly nothing, and she's still shivering uselessly. :'(]

C. (any)

[gods above it's so fucking cold, but she's still gonna go poke around outside a bit — once she gets some warmer clothes, maybe she'll venture further.]

[crimeson]

[juuuust wandering back into jasmine, bundled up in a blanket, yawning DEEPLY.

and

pausing?? kinda staring tbh.]

A

[spectacularluck]

[ Holy shit, a new person. He's going to just stare at her, a little incredulous. He's made himself into a blanket burrito in the meantime, trying to avoid the cold ]

Nice horns?

a)

[voreaciously]

[This young lady is not bundled in anything. in fact, she is wearing a crop top and long, but light, skirt.

also sandals. and a black blindfold.]

Ah, I take it you are newly-arrived?

b

[malignstar]

[ Have a black feathery wing draped over her shoulder ]

Might need a few of those today.

B

[firstworldproblem]

Settled in?

[Dressed in layers upon layers --- thank goodness for his team's taste in clothes. Not that it helps.]

[handfulofglory]

A. Ginger

[ There is a new teammate in the common area of the carriage, a slender man in his mid-30s with a mess of thigh-length black hair. He's wearing a hodge-podge of uniform: pajama pants, unlaced boots, the sweater and furry coat. He's studying everything very carefully -- though he puts on a pleasant smile as soon as he spots someone. ]

Good morning.

B. Elsewhere on the train

[ After some teammates have presumably helped him put his clothes and hair in better order, he's heading out of Ginger's carriage to explore the common cars of the train.

The blankets are a very welcome sight, but with only one hand, he's having some trouble wrapping one around himself... ]

[bowtiedbones]

[THIGH! LENGTH! HAIR????]

Oh! Gosh! Hi, you're new, aren't you?

B

[wontforbidtherain]

[have a lady in Thyme-green, who isn't wearing a coat (or acting cold without one)]

Do you need help?

A

[crimeson]

[this is... not a teammate! this man is in blue? (though he is at least wearing a ginger scarf.) wandering out of a bedroom bundled in a blanket and yawning, blinking blearily at the new arrival.]

...Mornin'.

A

[bluediligence]

[ ... New teammate! ]

Hi there! Welcome to Ginger.

[malignstar]

You look like you could use some help.

A

[firstworldproblem]

Welcome to wherever and whenever this is. Have you been filled in?

[voreaciously]

[here is a young lady in a thin-strapped sundress that comes to her knees. in spite of the cold, she does not appear to be any worse for it.

she is crocheting something in the lounge when she looks up and spots the very handsome, struggling man.]

Do you require assistance, sir?

[ahhhh all that hair, hers has been growing, but she must admit she is quite envious. what a classical look.]

[featherbeaned]

A. Clover
[ SQUEAK ]

[ SQUEAK SQUEAK SQUEAK SQUEAK ]

[ Something Big scratches at the door of room number two ]

B. Out and About
[ Sometime later, a feathery-floof dragon(?!) the size of a Very Large Dog can be spotted scampering eagerly around the train, sniffing everything, everywhere. ]

[ e v e r y t h i n g ]

[ There's a Clover hat perched jauntily on her head, and a single sock loosely draped around her neck like a scarf. ]

B

[handfulofglory]

[ unsure if he should be alarmed?? no one mentioned animals inside the train. he's going to stay out of the way for a moment and observe her movements. ]

A

[schrodingerscockroach]

[Squeaking?]

[Thinks it's Sunset at first except Sunset can't scratch that big.]

[UM]

....

Hello? [To the closed door.]

A

[time5kip]

[ There is just the most resigned sigh ]

Sounds like we got ourselves emergency rations.

[malignstar]

Whoa, we can buy dragons now? Who do you belong to, I wonder?

[bowtiedbones]

[GASP]

—dragon!!

[daydreamshimmer]

[Wearing more clothes this time! Like. All her Senna clothes. Still no shoes though.]

[And collecting blankets.]

This. Is why fur makes sense!

[So much grumbling as she tries to get warm.]
