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! ]]

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

Do you need help?

[handfulofglory]

[ smiles a little awkwardly ]

I...believe I do.

[wontforbidtherain]

[smiles back and holds out her hands for the blanket]

Are you new here? I don't recall seeing you before.

[handfulofglory]

[ gathering it up awkwardly to hand over ]

Yes, I am.

[wontforbidtherain]

[takes it and spreads it out to wrap around him]

A pleasure to meet you. I go by Cat.

[handfulofglory]

[ carefully holding it closed with his one hand. it doesn't seem to be doing much yet, but...perhaps it just needs some time. ]

Thank you.

It's a pleasure to meet you as well, though I'm afraid I can't return the courtesy. I... Truly, I haven't even begun to think about adopting a name for myself here.

[wontforbidtherain]

It's not unusual here. Cat is not the name of my birth, though it saves confusion to keep using it here.

[handfulofglory]

I see... It's comforting to know it will come back, but perhaps I should select something else to known by in the meantime.

[wontforbidtherain]

Some of the teams have name themes. I'm Cat because prior to my arrival, it was decided we should take up feline names. Felix is one of my teammates.

[handfulofglory]

[ thinks of his teammates so far which are 'Faito' and 'Emet-Selch'... ]

I see... I'll have to ask if my team also has such a tradition...

[wontforbidtherain]

And you can start thinking about it either way.

[handfulofglory]

Yes, though I truly have no idea where to start. Choosing one's own name... However temporary it may be, I don't feel like I should take this task lightly.
