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! ]

Jusis!

[no don't look at me I look stupid!!]

Good morning.

[saddleclub]

[You look ridiculous and sparkly it's great.]

Good morning. How are you feeling?

[ruinatings]

Quite well. The symptoms have passed.

[Which is good because he was very cold and gross and grouchy after that game. He lifts a hand (which did not work after the game) and wiggles his fingers.]

You see?

[saddleclub]

I'm glad to hear it.

[Genuinely very glad!!]

I was concerned.

[ruinatings]

I appreciate it. Next time I'll have to take the challenge more seriously.

[saddleclub]

I have nothing to worry about then.

[ruinatings]

Of course. I'll persevere regardless of any inconveniences.

[saddleclub]

...Good. But we still need to talk.

[ruinatings]

[again?!]

I already gave you my answer, Jusis.

[saddleclub]

What answer? Avoidance? I don't accept that.

[ruinatings]

I never asked you to. Regardless, I've no desire to talk about it, and I don't intend to, no matter how childish you decide to be.

[saddleclub]

There is nothing childish about wanting answers, brother.

[ruinatings]

I'm referring to your insistence after I've told you to stop asking.

[saddleclub]

Do you think I'm going to stop simply because you tell me to? I was never taught to give up in such a docile manner, I'm afraid.

[ruinatings]

[I have only myself to blame for this--]

Then, what? Will you just annoy me eternally?

[saddleclub]

[Yeah. Man you could have just ignored him and let him grow up as fucked up as you but you had to go and be a good influence.]

If that's what it takes to get you talking to me.

[ruinatings]

[Curse the soft part of my hard, jaded heart]

Why does it matter so much to you? Knowing my reasons won't change what I've done or will do.

[saddleclub]

What kind of absurd question is that? Of course it matters to me. Your reasons will always matter to me.

[ruinatings]

Then I'll tell you, when you're an adult.

[That age 20 thing--]

[saddleclub]

I have been acting lord of Kreuzen province since you ran off to Crossbell. Treating me like a child is disingenuous at best.

[ruinatings]

You haven't proven--

[He cuts off, as he suddenly goes green and puts a hand over his mouth]

...Excuse me.

[saddleclub]

[Reaching out to touch his shoulder, suddenly alarmed.]

Brother?

hi tocs 3 spoiler warning for people stalking

[ruinatings]

Perhaps I'm not entirely recovered--

[But Jusis is touching his glittery shoulder so. Now he's getting that memory of 17 y/o Rufus throwing himself at Osborne at the falconry event.

"You're so bored that you want to play with fire? You, who are empty and tied by your noble bloodline."

"Yes... Sorry about the other day. It seems you realized that it was I who set up that meeting. But I don't see any future in the Four Great Houses. And so I want to think of you as my "real father", so that I can succeed on my own."

But hey Jusis already knew he was an Ironblood so...?]

...Did something just happen?

Re: hi tocs 3 spoiler warning for people stalking

[saddleclub]

[He's staring at nothing, eyes wide and shocked. Is what he just saw real? That... surely it's not and yet it felt and seemed...

It would explain how his brother became an Ironblood but it opens more questions than it answers.]

You....

[Sorry he's still processing.]

Why?

[ruinatings]

What? Why what?

[He's confused. Why did he think about that just now? Why is Jusis reacting so strangely?]

I just felt ill suddenly.
