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! ]

[so, Thyme has a new teammate! he's got some badass scars!! he is not sticking around Thyme long at all, instead immediately wandering to the common areas of the train or even outside, and may be approaching you:]

Who's in charge here?

[aaand if you DO catch him outside, or after he's been exploring, he's probably got some glitter on him-- look, he's got no memories and was kinda sheltered in the first place, why be suspicious??]

would we want to consider combining 2 like jerks?

[crimeson]

Oh, you got glittered good, huh?

[look who's talking]

ABSOLUTELY

[grimpa]

[looks down at himself...]

Is that what this is?

huhuhuhu ok does green for randy work

[crimeson]

Something close, at least.

y! purple for zol?

[grimpa]

What is its purpose?

ye! POSITIVITY FEEDBACK LOOP

[crimeson]

Uhh, making things shiny, mostly.

[grimpa]

...Very well.

I would give you my name, but I don't remember it.

[crimeson]

Seems we're in the same boat, here.

[offers him a hand.]

Nice to meet you, anyway.

[grimpa]

You as well? --Yes.

[handshake!!]

[he's more curious than concerned about the situation, mostly just wanting to find someone in charge so he can figure out His Purpose Here, but also mysteriously drawn to this friendly red stranger? surely this here is a good person!!! IMPLICIT TRUST]

[crimeson]

[handshake!

RANDY... is a hot mess of deep-seated exhaustion and loneliness and self-loathing! that'll take a bit of time for the positivity-glitter to dig properly into. the trust is... weird. best not overthink it, Randy decides.]

And now we're both covered in multiple colors of glitter.

[grimpa]

[BLINKS, looking between his own hand and Randy's face?????? what??? is that supposed to happen???? and more importantly:]

--What's wrong?

[crimeson]

[Randy... blinks?? more confusion is now cropping up in the emotional clusterfuck.]

What do you mean?

[grimpa]

You're upset. I'm trying to find more answers. Would that help?

[VERY MUCH WANTS TO BE HELPFUL]

[bowtiedbones]

A Prince we haven't met—

[AND MORE IMPORTANTLY, MR MYSTERY THYME]

Did you just get here!?

[grimpa]

Yes. Is that a problem?

[bowtiedbones]

Not a problem for you to figure out, just nobody told us more people would be showing up?? Um! Hi! I'm Eliza, we're teammates.

[grimpa]

[nods at the "nice to meet you," a little more distracted by the rest]

Why teams? I thought we were all working toward the same goal.

[bowtiedbones]

I'm not sure, but I think it's supposed to encourage progress towards that goal? Like, sharing an apartment with five people is a closer set of connections than sharing with forty.

[grimpa]

[nods again, mulling that over...........]

...Very well. I don't have a name to give you.

[bowtiedbones]

Oh geez, amnesia, huh? Two of the others in our group are like that. They're using nicknames, which you can do if you want, or you can wait and try to remember it later.

[grimpa]

It doesn't matter to me. Whatever you like.

[bowtiedbones]

Some of the other groups are doing theme names, and the kids in our group are Saber and Smile, after saber-toothed cats. I could recommend you something to match?

[grimpa]

...That's fine. There's children?

[bowtiedbones]

They both have amnesia so I don't know for sure how old they are, but they're about... this tall? And Saber is a ghost.

[holds her hand around SMALL CHILD FRISK height]

[grimpa]

[oh ghosts are real? cool, cool]

...We'll have to keep watch over them.
