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.]

You haven't said what your priorities are, though. If it's something worth more to you than either of those things, then I'm sure it's important.

[Jay turns away from Sorey instead of answering that question.

However, there's a . . . shift in the air, and the faint, ghostly images of some adorable little friends appear behind him. He doesn't see them at first, and folds his arms.]


I haven't said because it's really none of your business.
imsorey: (They call me Mr. Fahrenheit)

[his eyes flick to them and then back to Jay before lingering in the adorable little otter people, unsure if it's an answer to the question that he's asking]

It's not my business, and you don't have an obligation to tell me. But I'll keep asking because I want to know.
rebells: back view, expressionless, blank (unring a bell)

[He sighs. Now that he's calmed down a little, he's beginning to regret his outburst.]

What exactly do you think you're going to get by knowing?
imsorey: (Now I look back)

[personal profile] imsorey 2017-11-06 03:01 am (UTC)(link)
Get...?

[it takes him a moment to think of what Jay might mean and how to respond]

Maybe you can call it knowledge for knowledge's sake. I get to learn more about you and your circumstances. It's not that I think I'll be able to change anything, or fix it, but knowing you with all of the good and bad means that I might be able to help if a situation like that ever comes up again.
rebells: annoyed, exclaiming (bellpull)

[personal profile] rebells 2017-11-06 03:22 am (UTC)(link)
[He makes an exasperated noise in the back of his throat, whirling around accusingly.]

Are you always like this--?

[Then . . . then he catches sight of the ghostly otters by his feet and his expression changes. He looks--fond, certainly, but also wistful, almost forlorn. He reaches down and brushes the images away, and they disappear.]
imsorey: (Bright as an empty canvas)

[personal profile] imsorey 2017-11-08 03:23 am (UTC)(link)
[that gets a little smile out of him, his suspicions confirmed--even if he doesn't know exactly who they are to Jay, it's enough to know that they're important.]

I'm always myself, so I'd assume so. Stubbornness is one of my many talents. But it seems like it's one of yours too.
