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.]

[......]

N... no, I was trying to come up with a recipe to try out later. [hence why that comment stings, al.] Does it really sound that terrible?

[does he sound like a kicked puppy? just a little.]

[FOOD ISN'T A GAME, FLYNN.]

No one would ever eat that.

[IT IS A GAME OF RUSSIAN ROULETTE. EMBRACE IT, AL.]

Really? [how disappointing. but flynn won't toss in the cooking towel just yet!] Is there anything in particular you'd improve to make it more appetizing?
alphonse: (Ugh whyyyyy.)

[How does he sound so sincere about his terrible ideas?!]

You need to start over completely.

[But fine, since Flynn is trying so hard he'll attempt to be slightly more helpful.]

I brought some cookbooks from Aimintas. [Don't ask why, it's incredibly stupid.] They aren't that hard to follow, even without understanding the language. Just avoid all the parts with fish.

[start over completely, huh? he can do that. he doesn't entirely understand WHY since all of his ideas seem perfectly edible to him but oh well...]

You don't mind letting me borrow those?
alphonse: (This asshole.)

[personal profile] alphonse 2017-10-22 05:42 pm (UTC)(link)
It sounds like you need them a lot more than I do.
thatdamnknight: (men should be what they seem)

[personal profile] thatdamnknight 2017-10-23 01:47 pm (UTC)(link)
Thank you. It shouldn't take me too long to memorize the recipes so I'll have them back to you as soon as I'm done.
alphonse: (More talky faces I guess.)

[personal profile] alphonse 2017-10-23 10:37 pm (UTC)(link)
[Flynn's sincerity never ends???]

You can take your time. They're not exactly doing me a lot of good right now.

[It really was a stupid, stupid reason.]

I'd offer to bring them by today, but it's probably better not to meet in person until whatever's going on with the telepathy has sorted itself out.
thatdamnknight: (to thine own self be true)

[personal profile] thatdamnknight 2017-10-24 02:25 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, good idea. Hopefully whatever's going on doesn't last too long.

[he luckily hadn't shared anything personal but would rather not risk that happening later.]
