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.]

Ummm...

[ jade has to think for a moment before responding, shrinking back into her blanket burrito a bit as she goes. ]

That is depending on what you want to know, I think. About Grandpa or the Blue Ladies?
rebells: (antebellum)

[As gently as he can manage:]

About your grandfather. What happened to him?
witchhooded: oh thats an unfortunate one for a jade and jake icon (store)

[personal profile] witchhooded 2017-10-30 10:31 pm (UTC)(link)
[ UM. WELL. jade puts a finger to her chin. ]

He is... downstairs, by the fireplace right now.

[ which is not much of an answer - jade's never given straight answers about her grandfather, however. ]

... If you are quiet I can take you to meet him, but he can be a little... intense!
rebells: (handbells)

[personal profile] rebells 2017-10-30 10:52 pm (UTC)(link)
[Okay, well . . . that's not the response he expected. Now he's really curious.]

. . . I think I can handle it. I'll try to be quiet.
witchhooded: (gateless)

[personal profile] witchhooded 2017-10-30 11:40 pm (UTC)(link)
Mmm, okay.

[ jade shimmies out of her blanket, leaving it on the floor. it possibly suddenly makes sense why there are toys all over her room, and as she stands up, jade holds her hand out for jay to take. ]

It's big, don't get lost.

[ apparently her solution is to hold his hand and lead him around? yes. ]
rebells: side view, talking, considering (umbelliferous)

[personal profile] rebells 2017-10-30 11:41 pm (UTC)(link)
[Well . . . all right. He'll take her hand silently and let her lead him where she will.]
witchhooded: (coasting)

[personal profile] witchhooded 2017-10-30 11:55 pm (UTC)(link)
[ jade will lead him out of her room, moving the door open with her free hand and peeking around the corner. she dubs it safe with a nod of her head and then darts out - their destination is the metal platform. ]

This is a transportalizer. [ jade tugs on his hand, trying to get him on the platform with her. ] It is very cool.
rebells: (handbells)

[personal profile] rebells 2017-10-31 05:22 pm (UTC)(link)
[This is . . . a tad odd, but it's a little like the duct system. He steps onto the platform with her.]

We have something similar on my world. It transports you?
witchhooded: (think i'll go where it suits me)

[personal profile] witchhooded 2017-11-05 09:37 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah! But you won't get all like Jeff Goldblum, promise. 'Kay?

[ of course, that's a reference to the fly. jade has no idea what it means, but for some reason... she thinks it might be applicable? where has she heard that name before? maybe it was grandpa.

after a quick transportalization, the two find themselves in the atrium.

jade points to the pumpkins, off to a corner. there's a few missing off the vine, it looks like. (what pumpkin?) ]
They never stay in one place! Is that different? [ apparently she's still trying to decide if this is weird or not, the disappearing act the pumpkins wrapped themselves up in. ]
