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!]

What if they're perfect like you? With everything amazing? How am I to decide?

[ OH MY GODDESS. ]

Just pick your favourite part, then!

[she thinks

and thinks

and thinks!]

...I do like voices. I do suppose Mister Schwarzer has something of an alright one.

He's also got a great ass.

.........It is acceptable, I suppose.

[ Crow raises an eyebrow. ]

You suppose.

I-it is not as though I have looked especially closely!

You should check it out next time you see him. It's the only ass around nicer than yours.

Assistant!

[She doesn't know if she's offended or feeling complimented or scandalised!]

Look, I'm just saying!

[ He's completely unrepentant. ]

My behind is clearly much better than his! How could you say that? This is a betrayal of the highest order.

Hmmm... I may need to verify that. I'm going to have to grab your ass.... for science.

[hey i hate this.]

Very well! Examine it!

[She turns around sharply.]

[ hey i ~~hate~~ ♥love♥ this.

Fixed it for you! ]

Let's see...

[ He tilts his head one direction and then the other, carefully examining her ass before he grabs a handful of it and squeezes. ]

Very nice.

[It is a very nice ass, very plush and round, soft yet firm. You could bounce a quarter on it for hours ok.

She makes a little noise when he goes for the grab, but she's not bothered nor protesting otherwise.

It is for science, after all!]

A-ah, really, you think so? I mean, yes, it is! Certainly nicer than that dunderhead's!

It's definitely nicer than I gave it credit for... but I think I'll need to grab his ass before I can make a final call.

Very well, I suppose it would not be a proper experiment if you did not obtain adequate sample data. You will simply have to hurry and seduce him so I can be proclaimed the proper winner.
