Who: Everyone
When: Day 64, late morning
Where: the Aurora

[ Good morning, citizens of the Aurora! Or is it afternoon? The air seems to be filled with a fog that's rolled in out of seemingly nowhere, although if you let it fall on your tongue you may notice it tastes like Sprite... or some similair type of soda.

Speaking of that fog though, there's something else strange about it - wandering into it might cause you to weep uncontrollably, or at least until you hug someone. So... have fun with that! ]

[Cat hand headed out into the mists for a short time, because she likes the fog. The fact the fog doesn't smell of rain or salt was upsetting. At least, that's the reason she assumes she's crying.]

[Tide is meditating on top of Jasmine's train car, only just disturbed by the odd fog. he doesn't seem to be full on sobbing but his eyes are suspiciously wet.]

Even the fog is some form of confection here...

[Eliza is INDOORS because she doesn't trust fog anymore, no thank you.]

[she's copying notes in the library and is maybe overdressed for studying, but listen this look is great. this dress glows Thyme in the dark, ok.]

[80H likes foggy days and so ventures out into it, but she soon realises, a foggy day cannot simply be that, now can it?

She's crying quietly, but it will not stop. Even when she returns to the train, she still cries, you might hear her make frustrated noises from time to time, which only makes her tears seem that much more desperate and genuine.]

Um...excuse me.

[yeah hey haven't seen you in literal like weeks but how u doin.

At any rate, 80H is keeping her polite distance, and her voice is quieter than usual--they're in a library after all--but she also seems...shy? A bit timid.]

[80H is out in the fog too, crying loud enough to be heard, but trying to silence herself.]

[well, that's worth investigating. Tide unfolds from his meditative posture and leaps lightly down to ground level, forging deeper into the fog.]

Hey! Do you need something?

I need to speak with you...if you will allow it. Please.

[marks her page and sets her books aside]

Of course I'll allow it. What is it?

I apologise for interrupting you, but I simply...wish to apologise to you for my conduct thus far in its near entirety.

... Okay?

[she bows at the waist]

I know I have been very difficult, at times. Sometimes, other forces were at play, but more often than not, it has been me. I simply wanted to apologise to you for it.

[and commit to doing better, but that is better seen than said.]

[Guess who also went out in the fog, and is now crying and trying not to do more than leet her eyes water]

You as well?

[Dusk usually likes running outside, but not in a situation where he's going to have his sight hindered, so he had just stuck to the gym for his morning routine and just wandered out in the lounge a little later.]

[Just to see 80H crying and that's....well, that is Definitely A Thing.]

80H?

[Where was the demon girl hanging out? Who could say, mostly she doesn't like dealing with people.]

[(It may have been the top of bookshelves.)]

[But she has Thoughts and had wandered out into the fog to look for certain plants when suddenly the tears hit and that's...that's not something she's prepared for.]

[Tears are not something she should be doing, should be feeling, and she's stumbled into the lounge, trying to get control of her crying, but she can't. She can't she cant' she can't, WHY CAN'T SHE DO IT?]

[So many contradictory emotions at seeing Demon Solar in distress. It hurts, but it's also satisfying, and mostly he just misses the normal Solar. He eventually decides to approach, smiling slightly.]

Ill effects from outside?

What is even the point?! Causing a physical reaction with no meaning behind it, what is this stupid world even hoping to accomplish?

[She's growling a lot, wiping at her eyes, but the stupid tears WON'T STOP.]

[Loki gives a slightly-mocking chuckle.]

Is it not obvious? This world is attempting to drive us out. With rather weak methods, for which we should be thankful. As we should also be for a method to cure the effect, which I am certain we have been given. Can you guess what it is likely to be?

[flutters her hands, oh gosh she doesn't know what to do with bowing]

Oh! Oh, um, gosh... thank you? Thank you, I know that kind of apology can be difficult to realize and make.

[She snarls.] The world trying to drive us out.

Awful convenient all its attacks are so predictable. [Rubbing at her eyes. UGH, WHY TEARS, it's hard to see.]

Or Malice, if you prefer.

And it is not so much that it is predictable- though I suppose it it- but the tools given to us by the Star Prince to defeat it are often the same.

I don't need that stupid Prince's help. He's an isolated brat who doesn't even know how the world actually works.

Don't you? I thought we had agreed that for all of his... eccentricities, he did seem to have a better understanding of the tactics of the fight than we did.

No, we agreed he wasn't malicious, it's obvious he has no real tactics. That's someone else and they're far more dubious.

And what of his apparent use of what you know of Harmony Magic and its efficacy?

Please, I've never trusted that. It was too consistent, too measurable and simple.

Is that so. [A smirk.] And yet you took inspiration from it, before... [He waves at her, indicating her transformation.]

He has nothing to do with this. [And that's a snarl and that actually gets a swipe of her claws at him.] This is my power.

If that is true, then this should have no effect. [He says as he darts in quickly for a hug.]

[ Yep, he recognizes that voice and is heading toward it as fast as he can. ]

Solar?
