Who: you??
When: Day 48, evening and night
Where: the library and beyond

[As sun sets today, everyone will receive a message on their Chain:

☆: Good Evening my precious, charming heroes!
☆: It's been awhile since we had a party, so I was thinking you guys could use a pick-me-up.
☆: If you're interested, come down to the library ♥

Should you take the suggestion, you'll find the library has been decked out in fairy lights, with pink glittery star-shaped decorations all around. In the hallway are tables with trays of fruit tarts and fizzy drinks, and there's cheerful electronic music playing over the intercom.

In the center of the library, there's a new hexagonal bookshelf, accessible from every angle. It spins, allowing passengers to browse without bumping eachother around, and on it are a new collection of books. Some you might recognize from home -- if you ever wrote a book yourself, or had one written about you, it's here. Everything from formal biographies to grade school story projects has been brought in, in a delightfully embarrassing celebration of the passengers.

And if that wasn't enough to make you blush, there's also a slew of new books about you... The trains Heroes have been written in to a variety of fairy tales. In one story, you may find yourself a knight on a white horse rescuing your teammate and riding off into the sunset. In another you're a fairy godmother. You may even be a witch or a dragon! Given enough time, you'll probably find a story that puts you in just about every role, in a cast with just about every other passenger, teammate or no.

Be careful, though -- at random chance, reading a story about yourself might make you feel like acting out that role in real life! Those effected by this will consider other characters from that story to be their roles as well -- if your teammate was your Prince Charming in the story, you'll think they are in real life! All in a harmless, bond-promoting way, of course. This effect will wear off after an hour or so, and one character can be afflicted multiple times.

Will you get lovingly teased by over-the-top fanfiction? Probably. Will the library be covered in glitter forever? Definitely. Is it worth it...?

Well. Prince Cardamom thinks so. He's also joined in for the night, and will gladly play out stories with you, or face your ire. Enjoy the party!]

[[OOC: There's a prince toplevel here, though as always threads are subject to mod energy levels. If you'd like to handwave your character asking questions/etc, please feel free to poke Cleo#9893 @ discord and I'll work out what kind of information you might get! Thank you!]

[Someone has just woken from the longest nap. He's also in a corset thanks to fairy god 80H.

If you want there are some albums of newspaper articles about him that spoil canon but there's also some dusty old books of legends and even more newspaper articles that spoil his AU.

He's looking through an article about some young woman, the Ashen Chevalier, liberating a town from a tyrannical despot with the help of the Ashen Knight.]

[bad_crowmance]

[ Crow can and will look at those newspaper articles but his immediate reaction is to let out a whistle. ]

Nice look, Rean!

[ It doesn't take a mindreader to get that Crow is into Rean's corseted look but Rean gets a front-row seat anyway. Spoilers: He's super into it. ]

[awakenerd]

[Great way to make him blush first thing.]

Thanks Crow.

[He's pleased that Crow's into it at least, despite the mild embarrassment.]

[bad_crowmance]

[ Rean's really cute when he blushes so Crow wins again. The question is, would the blush get worse if he had an idea of how explicit Crow's sudden fantasies about Rean in that corset are? (They're very lewd.)

Sadly they won't find out because Crow is not specifically letting them out of his own head, but you know. ]

Just telling the truth. Nice to finally see you around again.

[awakenerd]

[He'd be very red instead of mildly pink.]

Faito says it's been a week. Sorry annoy that.

[bad_crowmance]

It's okay, I'll just have to kidnap you to my place for a while later.

[ His tone is lighthearted but he's serious. ]

Feel free to bring the corset.

[awakenerd]

Haha. Okay.

[He will even.]

What have I missed?

[bluediligence]

[ ...!! Faito's barely slept in like, three days now, and maybe it's starting to show a little but more importantly - ]

Rean, you're awake!

[awakenerd]

[Hm, she doesn't look great. Worry.]

Was I out long?

[bluediligence]

About a week ...

Are you okay? How are you feeling?

[awakenerd]

A whole week? [Yikes]

I'm okay. I don't feel any different, just like I took a nap.

[bluediligence]

A whole week. Rufus, too; he finally woke up just the other day.

[ YIKES IS CORRECT. Still, she heaves a sigh of relief, smiling at him. ]

I'm really glad you're back on your feet. And I bet Dusk'll be happy to see you!

[awakenerd]

So it's just been... what you and the new guy?

[No Rean new guy has also been snoozing. Not that he won't be delighted to see Dusk but he's worried about Faito.]

[crimeson]

[wolf whistles

loudly

as maybe a distraction]

[awakenerd]

Randy!

[crimeson]

Lookin' good~~

[awakenerd]

[Heading right over!]

Thanks. More importantly, how're you doing?

[crimeson]

[slings an arm around his shoulder!!!]

I'm doin' good, doin' good. How're you?

[awakenerd]

[Hm considers this cute and friendly gesture, and leans up to kiss him on his cheek.]

I'm fine. I just feel like I took a nap.

[malignstar]

Love the outfit. Very thematic.

[awakenerd]

Ahaha ... thanks. It wasn't exactly by choice.

[malignstar]

Oh~, lose a bet?

[awakenerd]

Not... exactly.

Though that's not a bad guess.

[malignstar]

More exciting than that?

[awakenerd]

Kind of. 80H thinks she's my fairy godmother and I guess this is what I'm supposed to wear to the ball.
