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! ]

[ s

sighs a little, under her breath. ok. ok. what would her brother do in this situation ]

... And why is that?

[fisherofmen]

It would be a pain to get out, right? Glitter gets everywhere.

[unaffective]

Of course. And furthermore, it's difficult to determine what sorts of effects any glitter-like substance native to this place may have upon us, as foreigners - though I suppose that I may only assume you are among the passengers here.

Certainly it would be quite the inconvenience to be in the way of one of these as it burst.

[fisherofmen]

Yep! So I don't want to pop it with my finger! Better to stay here where it's safe.

[unaffective]

And surely the other passengers on this train must feel the same - hence the concerted effort to avoid them. There is no one here that has any particular fondness for glitter, I'm certain.

Would you not say so?

[fisherofmen]

Oh, I'm sure there isn't anyone who likes glitter in her hair!

[unaffective]

Certainly not... I can't say that I do.

[ but it does match her eyes and uniform! pink, red, terracotta red. it's kind of cute. ]

But then it stands to reason that they would be best enjoyed in some area less populated than this one, does it not?

[fisherofmen]

[ what a cute elaine ] Ohhhhh, I see. I should have fun elsewhere. Sorry to bother you, Miss. . . ?

[unaffective]

It would be safer to do so, at the very least...

My name is Elaine. It's a pleasure to make your acquaintance.

[ but like, not really, and she winces a little saying so, as her stomach twists ]

[fisherofmen]

Nice to meet you, Elaine! How long have you been here?

[unaffective]

Five days. Have you been here very long?

[fisherofmen]

I just woke up this morning!

[unaffective]

I see... Is there anything that you need, in that case? I don't recall seeing your uniform in any place.

[fisherofmen]

Oh, let's see, uhm. . . I guess a basic rundown of what's going on, for starters!

[unaffective]

Well, what do you remember?

[fisherofmen]

I woke up in a very lovely room!

[unaffective]

Ah, well...

As I understand it - we've been selected as representative heroes from our respective worlds to travel within this train, 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.

[fisherofmen]

. . . . . . . . . That's a lot.

[unaffective]

Is there anything that requires clarification?

[fisherofmen]

What are darkened worlds and why!?

[unaffective]

Ah, I see -

There seems to be some corruptive substance referred to as "malice," but I don't believe any of us know the details. Still, it affects entire worlds and their populations.

[fisherofmen]

[ hm ] . . . That's. . . Terrifying.

[unaffective]

Certainly. Of those remaining from our own worlds, presently there is only us - though it's possible that others may be restored in the future, it seems. And further, we may see our own worlds restored through the same means as this one. Thus, ultimately -

While certainly cause for alarm, through our combined efforts - through the strength of our bonds - there is nothing to fear.

[ and she smiles! it's filled with a warm confidence, but it's also totally fake and decidedly frayed at the edges as her stomach rips itself into shreds for her fronting. ]

[fisherofmen]

[ looking to the side, tears starting to form at her eyes ] Really . . . . ? There's nothing to fear? But what if we fail? That's terrifying! I don't even know how to restore the world! I don't even have my own memories! How do we do any of this!?

[unaffective]

[ making a grab for her hand.

please enjoy,

truth glitter, ]

We won't. Please continue to place your faith in my, Miss - I will ensure it upon my own name.
