Hijinks Mingle

[potentite]

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'll have you know I'm a very close second.

[As if you should have any doubt of his undying loyalty and support.......]

[talim]

I still take offense to that. It should be a tie.

[outofplace]

Since when is my support comparable to the Lord of Spirits'?

[It's a joke, it's a joke. Although he has a feeling he knows the answer. It was when she stopped being the girl he was chasing after and became another "dear friend".]

You know me. I won't lie-- it's pretty funny to see you struggle sometimes. You always come out on top stronger anyway.

[...Alvin that doesn't make what you just said better. Stop.]

[talim]

[ jude is glaring at him. half-heartedly, but still. ]

Since I decided it was! And what's so funny about seeing me struggle?

[outofplace]

That face, for one thing.

[Because you're struggling right now and that face is a perfect example.

It's also cute, but he won't say that.]

[talim]

Hmph.

[ jude crosses his arms and turns away. looks like alvin no longer has the privilege of seeing that cute face of his. he doesn't even remember what he's supposed to be annoyed about, but regardless. ]

[outofplace]

[Heh. One victory for Alvin.]

Besides. I doubt that's the last we'll see of her. She might be busy working on one thing right now, but our paths will cross again.

[He doesn't have an exact 'why', but-- at least he seems confident.]

[talim]

[ jude hums. normally, he wouldn't even entertain the thought, would call it too idealistic even for him, but...

there's something different about hearing it from alvin. it makes him want to grasp onto his words and hold them close. ]

You really think so?

[outofplace]

Well sure. You know Milla. The minute something happens, she'll be there. Like somebody else I know, she's good at getting involved in this or that.

[And his confidence won't waver. For Jude's sake, who believes in him. If he's wrong... then he'll bear that for Jude.]

[talim]

[ a slow, sincere smile spreads across his face, eyes softening with warmth. ]

Yeah. Yeah, that's Milla, all right.

[ he's feeling a lot better, a lot lighter, than he did before alvin decided to end up in his dream. consider that a success. ]
