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! ]]

[THE DRAGON KNOWS THIS, that is legit surprising.]

Yeah. Like I don't think dragons are a thing for my dimension.

[featherbeaned]

Maybe you just didn't see them.

[schrodingerscockroach]

Maybe. Are dragons secret normally?

[featherbeaned]

[ Frowns ... ]

Don't know. But I am magic!

[schrodingerscockroach]

We can compare notes later because I think it's very rarely sometimes a thing for me. Or I just want to believe in magic that much, one of those.

But there's a lot of places that are a lot of magic being very common and that's definitely not my place, so dimensions.

[featherbeaned]

[ She's still frowning some, thoughtful … ]

[ But then she shakes it off, literally, not unlike a dog. ]

Makes sense. Many worlds, dimensions, realities, and voidspaces out there.

[schrodingerscockroach]

Very true.

Now for the bad news.

We're here because something bad happened to home. This thing called the Malice has consumed it.

And we're supposed to save it.

[featherbeaned]

[ Home has been consumed by a thing called the malice ]

[ Hm ]

[ She seems to think that over for a moment, and then - ]

Okay.

[schrodingerscockroach]

[Dragon things is apparently ready to deal with terrible or does not comprehend it yet.]

[He's not sure which one is worse.]

Yeah.

It's a lot, but that's that basic idea. The saving it part is....a little weird though.

[featherbeaned]

[ Sits back on her haunches, her tail curled around her paws. The tip twitches and flicks. ]

Teamwork and magic, yes? What else?

[schrodingerscockroach]

... [Do you just assume that????]

No, that's pretty much the idea. At least, that's what we've been told and stuff has been happening.

[And he's gonna show her the sign that's here in the lounge car on ways to earn sparks.]

We combat Malice using the power of bonds. When we Bond, we generate Sparks, and that in turn provides power for purification.

[featherbeaned]

[ Nods along like, ah, yes, this makes sense, this is fine. ]

Then, I will bond and fight for my world and everybody else's.

[schrodingerscockroach]

....

[He is gonna pet you again because you are earnest and ADORABLE.]

That's a good mindset to have. A lot of people here can be....prickly.

[featherbeaned]

[ yes good pet her ]

[ nuzzles into the pets with a warm trill, a hint of a purr audible under her breath ]

Maybe they need to hug a cute dragon. [ She's just saying. It could help!! ]

[ … and the toasty warmth she radiates probably feels real nice what with it being so cold right now ]

[schrodingerscockroach]

Maybe. You should definitely try your powers of cuddly persuasion on all of them.

[Terrorize them.]

[featherbeaned]

Do you want cuddles?

[schrodingerscockroach]

I wouldn't mind them, but not right now.

[Fluffy thing easier to cuddle okay.]

[featherbeaned]

Booooooo.

[ she's super cuddleable, ok ]

What next?

[schrodingerscockroach]

We're covering basis and even if I can carry you, I don't think I can do it without it being awkward. [More like hard to keep up his peripherals.]

Well, there's a second thing about Spark generation. These tasks can give you two hundred or a hundred sparks each, depending when you do them, and besides purification, earning sparks also gets back your memories and also gives you a way to get things at the Spark shop.
