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.]

[ jude shakes his head. he isn't prepared to argue with her. she's right; they've only just met, but jude trusts his instincts, and his intuition tells him that homura is not a bad person.

whether she accepts that or not, that's just how jude sees it. ]

I think they're ultimately harmless, but there's definitely something going on. Something changing. What that is... I couldn't tell you.

[antemeridian]

[ her lips purse a little at his reaction and response, though which part of it is unclear. she made the point she has to, so why does she still feel somewhat off balanced?

but in the end she also relents, bowing her head and allowing her shoulders to slump just slightly. ]

... I hope you're right.

[ she wishes she could relax, really, but not with what she knows. different world different circumstances, but her own experiences make it too hard to be forced to simply take a wait and see approach. ]

[talim]

[ a troubled frown tugs at his lips. he can feel just how unsettled he is by looking at her. ]

Hey, try not to worry so much, okay? I know I can't exactly tell you what's going on, but I'm sure things will be all right.

[ he doesn't have proof of that, but that's just how jude gets by. believing in that hope. ]

[antemeridian]

[ she doesn't seem entirely convinced, but: ]

I suppose. There is no use... in worrying pointlessly over things we have no control over.

[ another quiet sigh, but she forces her posture to ease some. reasserting logic to help compartmentalize, even if it doesn't do anything about the lingering heaviness in the air. ]

[talim]

You're right about that.

[ jude hesitates, uncertain as to whether or not it'd make her uncomfortable, but he reaches out to give her a gentle little pat on the shoulder. ]

Try to smile for Madoka, okay?

[antemeridian]

[ she doesn't flinch away or snap at him or anything, so there's that. she also doesn't much react to it at all, but.

well. she does smile, thin and wan. ]

It is a great request you're making of me.

But of course, I will try.

[talim]

[ jude beams at her. ]

I know it is. That's all I could possibly ask of you.
