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]

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.

[crimeson]

It's still... really worrying, you know?

[unaffective]

Should anything unfortunate occur, I'll be certain to protect you.

[crimeson]

[??????????????????????]

That's... thanks, Elaine.

[unaffective]

Of course. I may do at least this much... not simply as someone in possession of my memories, but as your friend and comrade in this place.

[crimeson]

...You move quick, huh? Well... I'll gladly be your friend and comrade. I'll do my best to protect you as well.

[unaffective]

Thank you.

My brother often recommends that I make friends, and it seems to be the conceit of this place - even if such weren't the case, I've been given no reason to consider you in any other manner... It's a bit strange, but after taking hold of your hand, much of my exhaustion seems to have been eliminated.

[ in the back of her mind, though, she gets it. it's a mood enhancer. ok. ]

[crimeson]

Ahh, well. There's probably some weird stuff up with that, but I am genuinely glad to have been of some help in calming you down, and I am serious about the friend thing.

[unaffective]

[ she ALMOST says it's like definitely the glitter's fault but her mood's not that good, ]

Well -

[ geeze. ]

Thank you. I can't say I'm quite accustomed to being a friend, but I'll do my best... Do you have any remaining questions?

[crimeson]

[it's fine he knows]

Hmmm. No, for now I think I should just let you rest.

[unaffective]

... Is that really alright? I'm sure you must have a great many more questions, and it isn't as if I haven't slept at all...

[crimeson]

It's fine. There are plenty of other people around that I can shake down for info. I appreciate your help, but it's more important you take care of yourself.

[unaffective]

But -

[ protesting things is hard when you don't know people's names. and she doesn't really feel like she needs to now, anyway? taking a nap and letting him go on his way instead of trying to do everything wouldn't be like, the worst thing? ]

W-Well, then... would it be alright if I were to make a request, in that case...?

[crimeson]

Hm? Sure, go ahead.

[unaffective]

It would be no trouble if you were to refuse, but would you pat my head until I've fallen asleep?

[crimeson]

[oh no she's cuuuuute]

I wouldn't mind doing that at all.

[unaffective]

Thank you. I'm aware it's a bit childish, but I've found it quite helpful...

[ shifting her weight into a comfortable sleeping position in the chair then, eyes sliding shut ]

[crimeson]

I'm certainly not judging.

[reaching over to gently pet her hair once she seems situated.]

[unaffective]

... Thank you.

[ softly,

almost as soft as her hair? it is like. exceptionally soft and fluffy. prime headpat hair. ]
