auroraexpress | 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! ]

hm. hmmmmMMMM. ] I don't think so.

[outside the train, but keeping near the doors]

They're suspicious, right? Anywhere else I would be thrilled for glitter bubbles, but...

Aha, right? After that so-called "Trial" the other day I don't know what to expect. I'm tempted to just stay inside the train from now on.

That might be the safest option, as long as the power stays on this time.

... outside is still just as cold and dark as it would be inside. At least inside there are comfortable beds, and no vicious animals. ... unless you count the dog.

I'm worried about the doors getting jammed shut again, but who has a dog?

[PUPPY???]

Really. That's your reaction.

What's wrong with my reaction?

Nothing specifically. But you are talking to bubbles.

Yes. I'm telling them to stay away. Hopefully they are bubbles with manners and will respect my boundaries.

Don't think what?

[Just casually peering out the doorway too from a gap between Naan and said doorway. Maybe under his arm or something.]

I don't think I'm going anywhere near these bubbles. Honestly, even if I hadn't been to Butterwick during that incident I--

[ ---------- ]

[ well he's stepping outside now.

and by stepping outside I mean he just kind of. falls forwards. he doesn't fall on his face, but his landing on the ground is shaky and he wobbles to catch himself against the side of the train as he turns away to fully face him. ]

Pa--

[ a.t.hiri...

no... no...? this isn't possible? what's going on? this isnt

he shouldnt

be, ]

Pa... pardon?

[uhhhhhhhh. Well, that's one way to react. Pathiri stares at the other guy in a "what are you even doing" sort of way, standing up straight now.

It sure does seem to be Pathiri, for the record. Same exact pattern on his ears, same mildly judging expression, same overly long hair. On the other hand, his hair's down even though he's up and around, that expression normally isn't pointed at his friends, and Pathiri never wore clothes like this.]

...You okay?

[That sure is a face, so he'll ask even if this person is being super weird.]

Edited 2018-12-16 06:09 (UTC)

[ ..... Ah.

he thinks he understands now. ... well. in-so-much as he can understand. he understands enough, at least, force himself to calm down. to train his face into something more pleasant, albeit strained.

he doesn't understand enough to keep his heart from twisting painfully, however. ]

I'm sure I'll be fine. You just gave me a fright is all.

And you are.....?

This is a ruse. By somebody.

[ aha ] Maybe by that woman who poisoned us earlier?

Multiple conspirators in league with each other I suspect.

Oho~? That's a bold assumption. What makes you think that?

[ ??? ]

What's up, SB?

[ points outside at the bubbles ]

Unpleasant weather, it appears.

I wonder what they are. I don't think it's a natural weather formation!

Haha, are you sure?Nothing we've seen so far has come anywhere close to what I would call natural.
