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! ]

And they stick around?

[bowtiedbones]

They do within certain limits. Most summons are dispelled after a while, but my familiars are more permanent. I can have him sleep, but he’ll exist as long as I do.

[cawnflict]

[ Tipping his head to the side, thoughtful. ]

That seems like a useful talent.

[bowtiedbones]

I would hope it is! It’s only my entire career.

[cawnflict]

Is it? How does that work?

[bowtiedbones]

I'm a necrozoologist. Most of my summonings are done to support paleontology and paleobiology research projects. My own speciality is extinct dragon species like Isildur, but for an example! The last big summoning I did was a big extinct bird that some other scientists wanted to study the locomotion of. There's been some discussion over how teratorns launch themselves or if some are even just more comfortable on the ground, sooo... I summoned one! And then they could watch one move.

[cawnflict]

[ Why couldn't that exist in his world, huh... maybe he'd have a better career than "bad man." ]

...that sounds lively. In a good way.

[bowtiedbones]

[everything's better with magic science bone dragons]

It's really mostly a lot of studying and research, but the lively parts are the payoff.

[cawnflict]

[ A soft laugh. ]

The longest work can often be found in an office.

[ In his case, an office underneath a bar, where he discussing criminal things. It's fine. ]

[bowtiedbones]

For sure! Time might literally slow down where paperwork is involved.

[cawnflict]

Hah... I wouldn't be surprised if that were true. Stranger things have happened—today, in fact.

[ your whole story for example.


he's partially joking/lying, covering his ass as a fellow necro-something oh god that sounds awful. ]

[bowtiedbones]

[sometimes you just dig up a 10,000 year old dead dragon and pet its glitter-covered ghost, it happens]

There's been like a strange thing every day here.

[cawnflict]

Isn't that right... I wonder if this is normal here.

[bowtiedbones]

We'll have to wait and see about that... Since apparently this place is corrupted? And the train wasn't working for a few days. I don't know what a normal place would be like.

[cawnflict]

I'm not even sure what they mean by corrupt. Most places are corrupt to some degree.

[ hashtag salty. ]

[bowtiedbones]

Magically corrupt, not morally!

[cawnflict]

[ haha, he's glad she gets it. ]

Yeah. I suppose someone will figure it out.
