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! ]

Ah. You have seen the message on the Chain, then?

Probably, eventually!

You find ambiguity in strange places.

By the way, everybody in this car has a cat code name. I'm Tabby. Meow.

[Why do you feel like the abyss, anyway]

Ambiguity finds me, not the other way around.

Can trees be cats? I'm a tree.

[what]

...Pussywillow.

Thanks! I hate it!

If you would rather go by your own name, I will not stop you. I simply found the moniker appropriate.

Yeah no I'm not doing that either. Give me a cooler one.

Lynx.

I'll take it.

I'm glad that it satisfies you.

[...wait a second. Eyes...]

Oh. You must have difficulty operating your Chain, and getting around. I did not mean to make assumptions before. Er, as your comrade and companion, I will try to help you in this environment.

I'm fine, actually!

[ no she's n ]

I really would be happy to help you in whatever way I can.

Well, you could tell me if anyone's actually seen this Prince guy.

Unfortunately, nobody at all. I often wonder if we were in fact kidnapped, and are being exploited as some sort of resource.

That would be the best case scenario.

Perhaps. It would be difficult for most people to hear that their world was destroyed.

[taking Lynx's hand.]

Let me show you around.

[ ???? HANDS??? PHYSICAL CONTACT WITH ANOTHER LIVING CREATURE??? ]

Oh. Hey, um. That'd be great. But. You should be careful, maybe?

[It's pretty awkward for Tabby also to touch people, but she's gonna help, okay! She has to do her best!]

Why is that?

I'm allelopathic.

You did say that you were a tree. Can you elaborate what that may mean in practical terms?

[Leading her back into the team car.]

I'm pretty sure I only kill other plants directly but I haven't been around alive people in forever sooooo

[Cool, cool, poison teammate]

I'll bear that in mind. Anyway, this area is the kitchen. Maybe stay away from the fruits and vegetables.

Yes, ma'am!

[Leading her along.]

This is the living room. One of the chairs is missing, because I sacrificed it to make a fire on the first day.

[Leads her over to the couch.]

This is the couch. Please do not eat on it.
