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! ]

Comments

[unaffective]

That's certainly the question. Each of us present here is no more knowledgeable than yourself.

A few days ago we were attacked by a dolphin, and a large percentage of the passengers here seem to be experiencing either amnesia or some loss of abilities, and this past day we were poisoned - it's truly a strange place, so please be certain to inform me if you begin feeling strangely.

[crimeson]

. . .

Um.

Did everyone survive being poisoned?!

[unaffective]

[ sort of

looks away? she doesnt ]

I believe so... Well, I don't believe that we're likely to be killed, but sicknesses aren't out of the question.

By the way - if I may ask, do you remember very much?

[crimeson]

[amnesia is common and jusis albarea doesn't know me and i'm handwaving that randy has at least spotted rufus at this point so.

he shrugs.]

Pretty much nothing.

[unaffective]

I see... I'm certain that your team has explained those particulars, however -

[ umm. what should she do from here. thinking is still kind of hard ]

Do you remember your name?

[crimeson]

Mm, most of the people in my train car didn't have any idea what was happening? And no, I don't.

[unaffective]

That seems common as well - as I understand it, we've been selected as representative heroes from our respective worlds to travel within the train in which you awoke, in the interest of purifying darkened worlds - our own included - through the strength of our bonds and positive emotions. Your amnesia - as well as losses incurred by others - are the result of a mistake in the restoration process and will be returned with some effort.

[ wait ]

- Ah, and my name is Elaine. My apologies, I'm a bit tired...

[crimeson]

[goddess this is so much, what the fuck.]

...It's a pleasure, Elaine. Don't worry too much about catching me up, you seem like you need some rest. Were you also poisoned?

[unaffective]

I - yes, though my own team successfully collected their antidote with little incident... I've simply been having trouble sleeping.

Likewise, it's a pleasure to make your acquaintance.

[crimeson]

[offers her a hand.]

Well, here's an idea. I saw some pretty nice seats in that train over there, so how about we continue the conversation more comfortably?

[unaffective]

Ah, well -

[ flushes a little, more out of embarrassment than anything - but these are the kinds of things she needs to be doing if she wants to go home. helping others, accepting help. this is the kind of person he'd want her to be anyway, isn't it?

so she takes his hand ]

Alright - I'll explain it to the best of my ability.

[crimeson]

[enjoy some POSITIVE FEELINGS GLITTER. he squeezes her hand warmly.]

I appreciate it. This way, then!

[unaffective]

[ oh boy

she's content to just trail along, but as the glitter takes effect she is definitely brightening up, her step and expression are decidedly lighter! ]

If I can help, then I'm happy to.

[crimeson]

Then we're on the same page.

[winks at her.]

Pick whichever spot looks comfiest, all right?

[unaffective]

... Is there something in your eye?

[ she is taking a seat, but ]

[crimeson]

What? Oh, no, I was just winking.

[sits with.]

[unaffective]

Oh, it's been so long since I've seen -

[ can't really like

help laughing about it, even if it's her mistake and she'd normally be embarrassed to admit to it, right now it's just kind of silly? it's funny ]

I'm sorry! I'm not particularly used to receiving gestures of that sort, but to imagine I'd mistake it for something in your eye...

[crimeson]

Ah? Well, I'll gladly wink until you're used to it again, if you'd like!

[unaffective]

Ah, only if you'd like to do so! I can't say that I would know what to do, besides -

What else would you like to know? I can't claim to hold very much information, but I do have my memories.

[crimeson]

I did it pretty naturally the first time, so I don't mind winking a bunch, probably!

Um... we're wearing different colors, notably. You mentioned teams, too. What's going on there?

[unaffective]

Well, as you can see our clothing is different as well, but I can't claim to know the details. If I were to hazard a guess, I'd say that it serves an organizational purpose, but if we're all here to contribute to the same end, I can't imagine any reason it would be necessary to separate us into groups...

[ his guess is as good as hers! ]

[crimeson]

They seem sort of like uniforms. Well, not in terms of professionalism, more just like theming.

[unaffective]

That's certainly reasonable. I can't say I mind it, at any rate - I like this color.

[crimeson]

It's a nice color! It suits you well.

[unaffective]

Thank you! I used to wear a bit more of your color, but I've grown fond of red in the past few years.

[ hmm, what else ]

Oh. Because we are needed, as I've said, I don't believe it's likely that we'll be seriously or permanently harmed... The poison was unpleasant, but everyone seems to be doing well now.
