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! ]

[she makes the briefest irritable face at "kiddo," but moves past it and shakes her head]

We'll have to find something else to use.

[crimeson]

[all right, no "kiddo" is noted. but randy shakes his head.]

It looks like most of the furniture is bolted down, since this is a train.

[acts_her_age]

Even a storage box, if we could find one... Otherwise, if the bathroom sink is as tall, I'll have to wash my hands in the laundry room basin.

[crimeson]

Ah, good point. It's been a while... Well, if there's nothing in this car I'm sure we can still figure something out.

[acts_her_age]

Yes. There seems to be some kind of store, at the very least.

...Who are you?

[crimeson]

Cool, then we can get something for you pretty quick.

[kind of pauses momentarily, realizing he's pretty much outed himself as having memories to her already just with idle commentary.]

Randy. Randy Orlando. How about you?

[acts_her_age]

[not answering that just yet]

And we're meant to be... roommates?

[crimeson]

That's what it's looking like, though I don't quite have a grip on the situation myself.

[acts_her_age]

I'm not really sure what they're expecting of us, given their choice of heroes.

[crimeson]

Yeah, I can think of a few much better options and everything.

[acts_her_age]

...Hopefully someone sharing this car with us has a little more of an idea of what's going on.

[crimeson]

Fingers crossed that there's someone left over from the last group or something.

[acts_her_age]

Yes.

...Well, what now?

[crimeson]

For now... How's your memory doing? I hear that's kind of a thing here.

[acts_her_age]

...Mine are gone. You were lucky, I see.

[crimeson]

It sure sounds like it... it's definitely not a great strategy for them if they want something out of us.

[acts_her_age]

The story seems to be that it was unintentional.

[crimeson]

Gotta love widespread screwups messing up a bunch of people's identities!

[acts_her_age]

[S H R U G S]

Have you explored much outside of our car?

[crimeson]

A bit. There are a few more cars like this for other groups, and outside there's a jungle with... glittery bubbles? Though they seem more temporary than the rest.

[acts_her_age]

[of course there is]

[JUST... MOVES PAST IT.]

Any more indication of what we're meant to do here?

[crimeson]

Cutely encourage people, apparently! That's our team's "link".

[acts_her_age]

...Well. That's easy enough.

[crimeson]

Right? Sounds like we lucked out on that.

[acts_her_age]

Let's do our best.

[a little ironically-- encouragement, get it,]
