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.]

[Hm. Well. He isn't sure what to do about that.]

Uh. So do you know this baby, or.

[God he doesn't know what to do. He absently pats the baby.]

[the baby gurgles in kind of an unsure way and pulls Dirk's hair. at least it's stopped wailing.

the dragon, in contrast, hisses like a cat at the question and claws at the rock, eyes fixed on you both.

there's a sword now lying at its feet...? hey, you've seen that one before too, that's the blunt ceremonial one Sorey carries around.]

Lil dude, not the hair. Come on.

[Oh. Huh. Well, sadly, there is no universe where Dirk thinks it's bad to pick up a sword while holding a baby.]

So if I chuck this at your dragon buddy, do you think the power of Jesus will get him to chill the fuck down?

[Because babies are a great sword of advice.]

[it tosses its head and finally breathes ice at you, a blast of freezing cold washing over the cave floor, aimed solidly at your legs

think fast. SWORD, BABY, DRAGON, how do you combine these things]

[HE DOESN'T HAVE A FUCKING ALCHEMITER

anyway Dirk tosses the sword at the dragon and flies up fast with the baby, I honestly don't know what you expected.]

[this seems like a reasonably logical course of action and also results in a GODAWFUL EXPLOSION that blows the cave up around you

you zoom out into a blue sky just ahead of it, glimpse a rolling landscape of plains and mountains below you, and --

you wake up, ears still ringing, with the vague sense that a baby, somewhere, somedream, is probably still drooling on your hair

that was weird.]
