Hijinks Mingle

Who: Everyone!
Where: Anywhere around the hub!
When: Days 103-105
Open/Closed: Open mingle!
Notes: See this post for details on the moon prompt and this one for the telepathy/dream/spirit prompts!



[A | Flower Gleam and Glow]
[The nearby moon is still passing close to the hub island, meaning the effects are still in play. Perhaps now is the time to stop and smell the large lit up sparkling moonflowers that have bloomed? Or be annoyed by the mosquito-like insects that came with them.

Alternatively, the deer seem to draw some sort of energy from the moon's light. Given their size, at least their sudden aggression and proximity to the base camp isn't the worst thing in the world but a kick would still break a rib or other bone so be careful! Possibly help each other deal with these cute but troublesome fauna.]



[B | Eavesdropping]
[For some reason, the telepathy will suddenly get rather wonky. Characters won't know why it's happening, though of course no doubt there will be ponderings, but it means characters won't be in control of their ability to broadcast — or more specifically, not broadcast — their thoughts. Time to find out secrets of an embarrassing nature. Or maybe something sadder is going on in your character's head.

If this wasn't bad enough, the area around the signet might experience burning or tingling. Just try to keep a lid on your brain for the day and distract yourself from any annoying pain.]



[C | Talking In Your Sleep]
[Or maybe your character just doesn't have the most interesting thoughts. Maybe they're busy thinking about pie instead of their upsetting childhood. That's fair. Pie is great.

But surely sometimes it haunts their dreams. With the telepathy running amuck, it's no wonder dreams and nightmares are leaking through, too. Of course, it doesn't have to be an accident. Feel free to grab a friend and share a fanciful dreamscape together on purpose! But for those nuts that are tougher to crack, accidents can and will happen.]



[D | Who You Gonna Call]
[Last but not least, as Friday rolls around, there seems to be something odd going on with the island. If your character is inclined towards the spiritual or supernatural, they'll no doubt notice the strange heavy thickness hanging around. There are whispers in the air and all of new energy just feels solemn. Might be good to give people a heads up and keep an eye on it.]

I don't know.

Can we leave?

...before Qri got to me, most of mine were just edge-of-death hallucinations or from Gilgamesh.

[She falls into step with him. Now that the initial, blind panic has faded, she doesn't cling. She still stays within arms' reach, however.]
rootandbranch: (strength enough for me.)

[personal profile] rootandbranch 2017-10-20 02:35 am (UTC)(link)
Okay. Thank you.

[a sigh, more felt than heard]

I hope you can get back to sleep. It's going to be a long night.
rootandbranch: (strength enough for me.)

O-only if the ship rises. I-- the anchor is holding it down.

I'm scared...
sealeted: ('til I'm dead)

[personal profile] sealeted 2017-10-20 02:37 am (UTC)(link)
...it might take a while.
rootbound: (falling fast to the ground.)

[personal profile] rootbound 2017-10-20 02:39 am (UTC)(link)
...

If you want to go, to get away from all this, I'll help you move the anchor.

I--I'm scared too. I don't think I can do it alone.
rootandbranch: (strength enough for me.)

[personal profile] rootandbranch 2017-10-20 02:40 am (UTC)(link)
Same here.

[taking advantage of the elevated signet levels, he sends her-- not really a specific memory, but a feeling of warmth and affection; something meant to reassure, to get her through the cool dark night.]

[FOOD ISN'T A GAME, FLYNN.]

No one would ever eat that.
sealeted: (from these stars)

[personal profile] sealeted 2017-10-20 02:43 am (UTC)(link)
Thanks Geir.

[She sends back an approximation of deep, deep gratitude.]

That helps a lot.
rootandbranch: (strength enough for me.)

[scales?

that almost makes him stop and look again, but the light wouldn't lead him astray, not here. he walks straight over to the strange tear, peering down into it.]

[He shakes himself, startled out of his funk by Geir's interjection.]

--nothing. It's nothing. [Well, that's an obvious lie. He stops, and starts again.] I . . . regret how I left the Legacy, that's all. But--if it can be fixed--

[He sounds uncertain about though; it's still new, the idea. Not even really a plan yet.]

[Yes, but does it burn, is the real question. Which . . . I guess it does weird things to your soul instead?

It's a feeling with a little bit of unpleasant familiarity, the sensation of being empty inside. He shivers unconsciously, and considers turning back, but--there was only the other staircase, anyway. He tries the door.]
rootandbranch: (love; it carries me back to my home)

[personal profile] rootandbranch 2017-10-20 02:51 am (UTC)(link)
G-good.

[she feels something like a pleased blush (can dragons blush?) before he gently withdraws.]
sealeted: (your gentle winding mind)

[personal profile] sealeted 2017-10-20 02:52 am (UTC)(link)
[If it bleeds, it can blush.]

Let me know if there's anything I can do for you, too.
rebells: ([t] you were never born)

[personal profile] rebells 2017-10-20 02:54 am (UTC)(link)
[There's a long silence. The kid looks uncertain.]

. . . hi?

[He speaks softly, as though he isn't quite used to using his voice. It seems like you're going to have to carry this conversation, Dirk. Good luck.]
splinten: appl-juice42 @ tumblr (the big man plays)

[personal profile] splinten 2017-10-20 02:56 am (UTC)(link)
[CARRYING A CONVERSATION? THIS IS THE OPPOSITE OF WHAT HE WAS BUILT FOR.]

Uh. Yeah.

Hi.

[FUCK.]

I'm Dirk.

[what the FUCK do you do with an awkward child not used to using his voice

Lil Cal flashsteps into existence hanging off of Dirk's shoulder. He pauses.]


And this is my best friend, Lil Cal.

[He's going to flashstep Lil Cal into waving because Dirk is that level of competent at this.]

[personal profile] guerrilla 2017-10-20 02:59 am (UTC)(link)
You ever have any nice ones?

[Judging by his tone, it seems like he's expecting a no.]
sealeted: (and when we burst)

[personal profile] sealeted 2017-10-20 03:01 am (UTC)(link)
...

[She gingerly sorts through the incoherent memories.]

There was one. With Leo and Julius. And curry. ...it wasn't very long, and I was pretty close to losing it, I think. Less a dream and more a hallucination, really, but that was still in the Moon Cell.

[HOPEFULLY HE DOESN'T BUMP INTO ANY BOOKSHELVES WITH HIS EYES CLOSED, that will hurt his nose.

the sound leads him to a seemingly normal bookshelf up against a wall with some bent and broken books strewn on it. the breathing is definitely coming from behind it...?]
rootandbranch: (crack the reins carry the fight)

[personal profile] rootandbranch 2017-10-20 03:04 am (UTC)(link)
. . . you said you did something that made it so you couldn't return. The thing we're trying to fix. And you regret it? That makes sense. . .

[Geir says the words gently, as much because Jay sounds so uncharacteristically uncertain as because he's walking on eggshells. he has a keen ear for distress, and he doesn't like seeing it, or causing it. not really. his impulse is to put his nose near Jay's knee for him to pet, or to put a loop of tail around him, for comfort. he's not that stupid, he thinks.

he's figured out that Jay doesn't like people to know he's in distress. Geir pointing out the obvious to him was what made him snarl before. but he did confide the things that Geir just said to him, which must mean he's allowed to talk about it...?

so.]

Um. I'm not sure if it's the same, but Julius told me about a weird thing. Actually, I've been thinking about it, because it doesn't make a lot of sense. I wouldn't mind hearing what you thought about it.

Who's "we"?

[looking around as if he half expects to spot others around]
imsorey: (Dappled sunlight)

[personal profile] imsorey 2017-10-20 03:06 am (UTC)(link)
That's nothing to feel bad about. It's not that shameful if you can't help it, and it's better to let it out than bottle it up.

[after a second he takes a seat next to Jake; every now and then he shoots Dirk a glance, but if Dirk isn't saying anything then Sorey won't address him.]

Do you want to talk about it?
rootandbranch: (won't let go)

[personal profile] rootandbranch 2017-10-20 03:07 am (UTC)(link)
I will.
rootandbranch: (reach out; till i can touch the sky)

[personal profile] rootandbranch 2017-10-20 03:08 am (UTC)(link)
[Geir touches the wood of the bookshelf with his claws, just sort of baffled by it. he doesn't know what the heck it is, but someone is back there, for sure.]

Hello?
imsorey: (A witness to time)

[personal profile] imsorey 2017-10-20 03:11 am (UTC)(link)
[Flynn is such a thoughtful guy! he can't help but be impressed by his forethought; Sorey could never plan such an innovative meal ahead of time.]

How about you cut down on the ingredients needed so that you can make something like that sooner? Like instead of making a strawberry-curry flavor, you can substitute the curry for...hmm, tomato sauce or hot sauce? It saves you from having to make the curry too.
