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!]

Hm, that's not a bad point.

[He could wear this as actual Crow-proofing couldn't he?]

[bad_crowmance]

[ Is it Crow-proofing if it makes him want to do lewd things to Rean though? ]

Don't worry, that just means I'll have to be more creative in getting you back.

[awakenerd]

[Maybe not but it's still some kind of winning.]

I look forward to seeing what your devious mind comes up with.

[bad_crowmance]

Yeah, well in the meantime--

[ He's grabbing Rean to pick him up and carry him away. Over his shoulder. ]

1/?

[awakenerd]

Eh?

[awakenerd]

Wha--!?

Done

[awakenerd]

Hey!

[bad_crowmance]

"Hey" yourself.

[ He sounds pretty smug as he carries Rean out of the library. ]

[awakenerd]

Croow...!

[bad_crowmance]

Problems, Rean?

[ He's heading towards the Licorice car. ]

[awakenerd]

Mmrngh. I'm not a sack of flour!

[bad_crowmance]

No, you're much cuter. But okay, fine--

[ He pauses to shift Rean so he's being carried bridal-style instead. ]

Better~? ♪♫

[awakenerd]

[Going very red but wrapping his arms around Crow's neck.]

Yes.

[bad_crowmance]

You're even cuter when you blush.

[ It's one of Crow's favourite looks on Rean! He's absolutely going to try and open the door without his hands. ]

[awakenerd]

[Burying his face in the crook of Crow's neck and making embarrassed noises. How's that working out for him?]

[bad_crowmance]

[ Crow is absolutely living for this.

He eventually has to give up on handsless and adjusts his hold on Rean slightly so he can open the door and carry him to his room. He does not immediately put him on the bed though, instead contemplating his extra door. ]

[awakenerd]

[Rean has not once ever asked about it even if he's been curious. But finding Crow standing there contemplating he does untuck his head a bit too ask.]

What is it?

[bad_crowmance]

[ Well, that decides it for Crow. ]

Wanna see?

[ He's already heading towards it even as he asks. ]

[awakenerd]

Yeah.

[Because he's! Curious!]

[bad_crowmance]

Alright then, let's do this.

[ Crow opens the door and walks through the Extra Door.

The door leads to a windowless, soundproofed sexy party room! Inside, the room is roomy and dramatic, with a black stone floor and red silk wallpaper. It's centered on one large, sturdy four-poster bed with rings embedded in various places for kinky fun, decked out in black and red satin. Along one wall is a bar, with shelving for any bottles or implements the owners may collect over time. The opposite wall is completely taken up by storage -- a wardrobe for sexy outfits, hooks to hang straps from, drawers for sex toys and assorted needs. By default the storage is mostly empty, aside from one folded up suspension harness and a pair of fuzzy pink handcuffs. On the ceiling and near the shelves are several huge, completely gratuitous mirrors. The room also contains a dance pole, and small foldable poker table with two matching folding chairs.

As an addition to the above, there is a fully equipped private bathroom accessible only through the party room. It features a jacuzzi tub and a spacious shower with two high-tech, detachable shower heads, and programmable LED lighting. Most of the bathroom is a natural aesthetic, with real potted plants filling any and all empty spaces. The counter is wide and has two sinks and enough cabinetry to hold toiletries for two beauty-conscious people.

This room is also accessible via... another door leading somewhere else. ]

[awakenerd]

[Holy shit. He's not even speculating on the other door, he hardly needs to.

Still in Crow's arms and he's blinking at this literal den of sin.]

I guess you've really made yourself at home.

[bad_crowmance]

Sure have!

[ Crow carries Rean over to the fancy bed, where he finally puts him down. ]

What do you think?

[awakenerd]

...I think it honestly suits you.

[For better or worse.]

[bad_crowmance]

I thought so too! Anyway, I've been meaning to show you around. Now seems as good a time as any.

[awakenerd]

You... [show me around your secret sex boudoir you definitely share with 80H you mean???]

That sounds good.
