Event: Bubbles...??

[trainmasters]

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! ]

Re: any color

[unaffective]

Ah, good afternoon. I haven't yet, though -

[ ... ]

That's quite alright. If he is here then I would certainly like to meet with him, but if he is absent then I will simply see him when our world is restored.

Re: any color

[nihilmancy]

Mm. That's true. I wish you luck.

[it occurs to her that she said something pretty insensitive, like always. time to change the subect and maybe be more insensitive!]

Do you really believe this stuff about our worlds' being destroyed?

[unaffective]

Thank you.

It certainly isn't improbable.

[nihilmancy]

Yes. I'm simply... er, skeptical, of our host, and our reasons for being here.

[unaffective]

Of course. Still, however - there remains little recourse but to maintain some degree of good faith. Be that though it may in a man that we have yet to see -

[ it might be daytime now, but that gaze is only somewhat lighter for it - and this line of discussion, now. being skeptical is objectively normal, but talking about it, talking about it when she has a fairly solid idea of one of the possibilities, still bothers her. without much thought behind it, she reaches into her pocket to light a second cigarette, uses that time to gather her words - what would her brother do? what would he want her to be doing, right now? ]

Be that though it may in a man that we have yet to see... I, at least, am certainly present here. To see each of us through this place - I will put forth my best efforts to that end.

[nihilmancy]

You're quite earnest. I agree, we must put our energy towards getting through this. I just don't believe in simply giving our host complete trust until he has shown us reason to have faith in him.

[Stares out at the bubble-shrouded landscape.]

You need not feel that you owe me anything, you know. Any of us, really.

[unaffective]

Ah - no, rather than any manner of obligation, it is simply what I would like to do; further, I feel, it is what is properly done...

[nihilmancy]

[How heroic! And admirable! And gallant! There must be some dark selfish motive in there. But that's okay.]

Hm. Do as you will.

[unaffective]

[ Selfish yes, dark arguable! ]

Thank you. I'll do my best.

[nihilmancy]

[No judgement here. Probably.]

Oh, the bubbles make you exchange thoughts and feelings with people if you touch them. You may wish to stay away.

[unaffective]

Ah, I see - thank you very much. I did consider that they may be a bit suspect... Though I do likewise pray that you are speaking from observation, rather than experience.

[nihilmancy]

I am afraid not. But this spot looks safe.

[unaffective]

My apologies, in that case.

Would you happen to recall the colors?

[nihilmancy]

Green and blue.

[unaffective]

I see. Thank you very much.

[ a tiny, awkward pause, before she adds ]

That's quite a pleasant song.

[nihilmancy]

[oh no, a compliment ///]

I'm only an amateur. I think.

[unaffective]

Even so, it's a wonderful sound. Thank you for playing.

[nihilmancy]

T-Thank you. I learned it when I was young.
