Event: Bubbles...??

Who: You?
When: Day 5, morning
Where: Everywhere

[ If you step outside this morning you may find a surprise! Large, pink colored bubbles, bouncing along lazily in the air as if they just arrived from some child's pleasant dreams. They are roughly the size of a melon and, upon closer inspection, appear to be filled with ... something? That sparkles and reflects the morning sunlight.

In any case, they seem harmless enough. Just a strange weather pattern for this strange world. Though if you happen to bump into one (or perhaps if one happens to sneak up and bump into you) you'll find that it pops quite easily upon contact-- and covers you in glitter!?

Well at least that explains the sparkling. But is this really harmless after all...? If nothing else, it's really annoying.

Oh yeah, by the way! You may find that some of your teammates are missing... but don't worry! Most of the empty rooms have already been filled by brand new Heroes! This isn't concerning at all! ]



[ OOC NOTES ON THIS EVENT

Each of these bubbles contain different colored glitter! Each glitter has a different effect, and you may oocly choose which color or combination of colors you want this glitter to be. The effects remain until you wash all of the glitter off. In addition, it's completely possible to get glitter on someone else just by contact... in fact some of these effects won't actually kick into place until you do spread the glitter curse. Just remember to communicate oocly which effects you want to play with!

GLITTER COLORS

White: Nothing. It's just glitter.
Purple: Increase "positive" feelings! Maybe you can't stop laughing, or maybe you suddenly feel much more affectionate towards someone you didn't particularly like before... whatever it is, it's definitely a little concerning. But maybe it's not too bad? This effect lasts until you manage to wash the glitter off.
Yellow: Memory share (x1) upon contact! Whoever you touch with this glitter receives one of your memories... but only if you also happen to remember it! (memories from the game itself are also valid!)
Green: Feelings share upon contact! Whoever you touch with this glitter can feel whatever you are feeling and vice-versa. This effect lasts until you manage to wash off the glitter.
Blue: Thoughts share upon contact! Whoever you touch with this glitter can now hear your thoughts and vice-versa. At least any loud thoughts. Maybe think a little quieter? This effect lasts until you manage to wash off the glitter.
Pink: You cannot lie. If you lie you start to feel sick... coincidentally enough, telling the truth makes you feel better? Or you can wash the glitter off. ]


[ ALSO! To those who were poisoned in the last game, you have the option to say that the poison has worn off by now! You also have the option to keep playing with it if you would like, either way is completely fine! ]

[unfortunately randy orlando is, like, a good person?

but all right. letting go of his sleeve, then. not gonna force him to stay if he's not actively panic-fleeing.]

I'm telling you, it's the experience. I didn't walk off the battlefield straight into Crossbell PD or anything, it's a whole lotta work figuring out who you wanna be and how you wanna do it. It's rough and it's not pretty, but I do think it's worth it.

You're probably right about that too.

[Amazing how as soon as Randy's not trying to make him sit, he sits.]

I'll admit it feels a bit pointless, however. If the information we've been fed is true, the world we know may be gone. If we restore it, or find we've been lied to, we could possibly go back, and yet... I likely won't have a chance to be anyone else.

[Cause he's pretty sure he's gonna get executed.]

Anything I accomplish here is only temporary.
crimeson: (just by the side of the tin man)

[personal profile] crimeson 2018-12-17 04:37 pm (UTC)(link)
It's true that a lot of people have personal investment in you not getting to make those kinds of choices anymore.

[there's no reason to lie about it-- if they fix things and go back, rufus is pretty fucked.]

But, we don't know if what we've been told is even true. Or if it is, how long it might take. Worrying about it being temporary... isn't everything? I know I'm gonna be six feet under someday, but that doesn't mean I should stand still 'til that day comes.

Hmm...

[This really is weird. He's never in his life actually gotten sane solid advice, except when Class VII told him off. That's the only time he's asked for it, too. He feels a bit like he'd sound like a student yelling "Instructor! I have a question!" if he asked Randy but here he is taking what he says to heart.]

Your levelheadedness is refreshing, Lt-- No. I shouldn't call you that anymore, should I?
crimeson: (i'm sorry mother)

[personal profile] crimeson 2018-12-17 04:58 pm (UTC)(link)
[he huffs a soft laugh]

Yeah, it really must be pretty new for you to even see me not pissed the fuck off by default. But this is more normal, for me.

But... yeah. Call me Randy. Is it cool if I call you Rufus?

[personal profile] ruinatings 2018-12-17 05:04 pm (UTC)(link)
...I... suppose so.

[He doesn't actually have anyone who uses his first name with no adornment who isn't being shitty at him except, y'know, Millium.

Weird.]
crimeson: (just by my left brain)

[Is Randy Orlando your first friend]

Great!
ruinatings: (017)

[personal profile] ruinatings 2018-12-17 05:10 pm (UTC)(link)
["Friend" has not occurred to him yet but he sure is.]

...Great. Thank you... Randy.

[The awkwardness is just radiating off of him but he's also... pleased, in a quietly flustered way.]
crimeson: (i'm sorry brother)

[personal profile] crimeson 2018-12-17 05:14 pm (UTC)(link)
[randy laughs, but it's a soft fond sort of thing.]

No problem, Rufus. This is gonna work way better than trying to behave ourselves while constantly pissing each other off.

That much is true. I don't think our fighting would have done much to dispel this "Malice".
crimeson: (you'll take the west train)

[personal profile] crimeson 2018-12-19 03:15 am (UTC)(link)
Hah, definitely not.
