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.]

[it swings open just enough for him to see behind it--it swings a little more than that, actually; it's surprisingly easy to pull the one side away from the wall. behind it, there's a hole in the wall there leading into a room filled with those silvery, heatless flames. there's so much of it, so bright, that it takes his eyes a second to adjust.

on the floor are the ashen remains of yet more books that have been burned down to nothing. the room appears to be sagging in on itself; a third of the room has already half-collapsed, and a support beam in the middle of the room is the only thing that's preventing the rest of it from falling. the beam is...hunched...over? the longer you look at it, the less it looks like a beam and the more it looks like a shadowy person trying to hold up the whole room. it also seems to be the source of the heavy breathing you're hearing.]

[Well, that's. Something. He inches forward to get a better look at the maybe-person.]

Hello?

[imsorey]

[upon even closer inspection, it's definitely a person. a shadowy, sort-of transparent person, but he's easily recognizable as Sorey with the Shepherd's cloak on. his entire attention is focused on trying to keep the roof up, but he does spare Jay a look when he spots him.]

H-hey. Sorry. A little...busy.

[rebells]

[This all seems a little troubling.]

I can see that. [ . . . ] What exactly are you doing?

[his voice is a little strained by the effort, but he takes a deep breath before responding to avoid having to pause]

Holding it up? It's going to fall otherwise.
