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! ]

[ hmmm

HMMM

using a spare piece of paper like a fan to try to herd a bunch of the bubbles together ]

What are you doing with those?

[watching from near the train, standing in a patch of fog that is STRANGELY localized to just around her feet. say hi, isildur.]
ghostfromthemachine: (I looked to the children)

[personal profile] ghostfromthemachine 2018-12-25 08:06 am (UTC)(link)
Well, I was hoping to see if I could collect the glitter, maybe— oh!

[ or she could get immediately and entirely distracted by Mysterious Fog. ]

Hello, who's this?
bowtiedbones: (27)

[personal profile] bowtiedbones 2018-12-25 11:22 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh, this is Isildur! He’s friendly.

[the fog billows up larger, loosely molding into the shape of some animal standing up, with a handful of suspended glitter more sharply outlining a toothy, scaly snout. he’s a big spooky boy, at least 5 feet at the shoulder]
ghostfromthemachine: (like every single tree reach for the sky)

[personal profile] ghostfromthemachine 2018-12-26 01:18 am (UTC)(link)
[ I think you mean a big HANDSOME boy,

immediately reaching up to offer her hand palm-up for investigating, the way she might to a dog ]

Oh nooo, look at you... Is petting okay?
bowtiedbones: (53)

[personal profile] bowtiedbones 2018-12-26 02:13 am (UTC)(link)
[GONNA SNIFF THAT HAND with loud warm snuffles like a dog]

Well, you can try to pet? He will like the attention either way, but I don’t know how tangible he’s going to be.
ghostfromthemachine: (I felt this thing that I can't replace)

[personal profile] ghostfromthemachine 2018-12-26 02:21 am (UTC)(link)
Oh— right, I suppose that would be a problem...

[ those snuffles feel plenty real, though, and the Desire To Pet is high ]

...well, if he'll like it either way, there's no reason not to.

[ reaching out for snoutpats, aiming for one of the more solidly visible spots— which do connect with no problem at all, making this the BEST DAY OF HER LIFE SO FAR ]
bowtiedbones: (8)

[personal profile] bowtiedbones 2018-12-27 04:15 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh, it worked!

[EXCITEMENT ALL AROUND Isildur is immediately shoving his face into Kaiko’s hands yes hello PET ME. there’s a feverish effect where the warmth of his invisible scales clashes with the icy chill of the fog, but does that matter when there are SCRITCHES to be had???]
ghostfromthemachine: (any type of love it will be shown)

[personal profile] ghostfromthemachine 2018-12-27 11:56 pm (UTC)(link)
[ THAT'S SO COOL?! enthusiastic scritches for fogderg ]

It diddd oh nooo... I'll be honest, this is probably the best thing that's happened to me in recent memory. Which isn't difficult, but—

[ just. kind of squeaks. she's a little bit overcome, don't mind her. ]
bowtiedbones: (32)

[personal profile] bowtiedbones 2018-12-28 12:18 am (UTC)(link)
[he mostly feels like scaly armor and spikes, though with some inconsistency— a spike suddenly shorter on the second pass, or a smooth scale replaced by pebbly skin]

In his esteemed and totally unbiased opinion, Isildur is the best thing to happen to anyone.
ghostfromthemachine: (here I am)

[personal profile] ghostfromthemachine 2018-12-28 12:26 am (UTC)(link)
He's a big ghost-dragony thing, that's absolutely objectively correct.
bowtiedbones: (68)

[personal profile] bowtiedbones 2018-12-28 12:31 am (UTC)(link)
He's not just dragony, he's full actual dragon! A dragonwolf, if I'm being specific.
ghostfromthemachine: (that everyone was working for this goal)

[personal profile] ghostfromthemachine 2018-12-29 02:19 am (UTC)(link)
Well, I didn't want to make assumptions.
bowtiedbones: (22)

[personal profile] bowtiedbones 2018-12-29 02:37 am (UTC)(link)
I suppose he could pass for an iguana. He sleeps enough for one.

[Looking pretty haggard this morning.]

That probably isn't a good idea.

[personal profile] ghostfromthemachine 2018-12-25 09:21 am (UTC)(link)
Probably not! But the glitter might be useful, so here I am.

[personal profile] ghostfromthemachine 2018-12-28 12:20 am (UTC)(link)
"Senna" gets extra points for decorating things. If I buy glue or paint, it's free supplies.
nihilmancy: (Neutral)

[personal profile] nihilmancy 2018-12-28 12:25 am (UTC)(link)
I see. Hopefully it is inert by the time that you use it.
ghostfromthemachine: (and you were back on the road)

[personal profile] ghostfromthemachine 2018-12-28 12:30 am (UTC)(link)
If I cover it with some kind of top coat, it should be fine even if it isn't.
nihilmancy: (Curious)

[personal profile] nihilmancy 2018-12-28 12:31 am (UTC)(link)
You aren't scared of getting any on you by accident?
ghostfromthemachine: ((let's have a talk about--))

[personal profile] ghostfromthemachine 2019-02-03 09:37 am (UTC)(link)
[

thinks... about it... ]

No, I don't think so. It would be inconvenient, perhaps, but...

...the challenge is part of the fun, actually.

[personal profile] dragonheartedgirl 2018-12-16 12:14 pm (UTC)(link)
What are those? They look like soap bubbles...

[ leaning in to get a closer look ]
ghostfromthemachine: ((let's have a talk about--))

any particular color?

[personal profile] ghostfromthemachine 2018-12-25 08:10 am (UTC)(link)
Ah— careful, careful, they'll pop! I'm trying to—

[ trying to do something that is completely moot, because one of them drifts the wrong way and pops itself right on the other girl's nose. good job all around! ]
dragonheartedgirl: commissioned from @frottage ; please do not reuse (KYAA)

does purple or pink sound good to you?

[personal profile] dragonheartedgirl 2018-12-25 11:36 am (UTC)(link)
Hyaa!

[ HONESTLY she wouldn't mind the bubble itself bursting, but the glitter--she wasn't prepared for that. she tries to spring back, but--she's already covered in the stuff. ]
