Who: Everyone!
When: Day 5, throughout the day
Where: Anywhere in or around Port Perplex
What: A mingle in which it's rainy all day...

[you may or may not have been involved in that labyrinth earlier! you might be a newcomer! regardless, it's an odd day in Port Perplex; you see, it's raining. nothing too heavy, just a constant, steady drizzle. if you drop by the Weapon's n More Shop, you'll be able to buy from a large selection of umbrellas—just watch out for any that might have holes. on the other hand, if you wanna feel creative, the Flower Shop is selling giant leaf/clover/flower umbrellas of different kinds, too—you'll be paying top dollar for those, though.

throughout the day you might come across puddles, which is natural... but these puddles are a strange anomaly—when you walk by them, you'll witness a moment from your past being reflected from this puddle, on show for anyone who might pass by and witness it. it could have been something that happened just this morning, something that happened yesterday, something that happened years ago... it doesn't seem picky.

but thanks to this rain—or maybe the labyrinth—the curious will find many plants sprouting from the now fertile, and no longer cracked, soil of Tier 2. it's hard to say what they'll become, but they're currently small, cute and green!

so... what are you up today? the usual? arriving? avoiding puddles? searching for every one of these little sprouts?]

((THE PUDDLES: if characters stomp/run through them, the scene will stop! ...but the character who ran through it will now experience the feeling that the memory-owner felt in that very depiction—the memory-owner can also run/stomp their own puddle and relive those feelings. if that's not your cup of tea, though, you can play with it however you want!))

[ Tarnia is starting his new part-time job in the Tailors, which is conveniently selling plenty of rain clothes today! They will magically fit any size. Truly amazing.

You might have a chance to see Tarnist even conjuring up some new clothing items to boot! ]

[reincatnation]

[ you are only getting this face, from around the corner even. ]

[spelltrouble]

[ Studiously acting like he doesn't see Rio at all. ]

[reincatnation]

[ You can't ignore him when he's standing right in front of you now, Tarnia. ]

[spelltrouble]

May I help you?

[reincatnation]

You could quit pretending I don't exist?

[spelltrouble]

Aren't I acknowledging you right now, dear customer?

[reincatnation]

Tarnia...

[spelltrouble]

I'm afraid I cannot chat on the job. If you will not buy something, I will have to ask you to leave.

[ He's very obviously back to being cold and distant! ]

[ninetyninelives]

[NOPE]

[JUST]

[INSTANT HEEL-TURN AT THE SIGHT OF PINK]

[spelltrouble]

Ah...

[ Well. That wasn't entirely unexpected but is still plenty painful. Not that Tarnist can talk. ]

[ninetyninelives]

[YOU GET WHAT YOU DESERVEEEEEEEE]






[which is maybe mao doubling back to secretly watch tarnia from an alleyway or something why are you here]

[spelltrouble]

[ Well he's letting himself be sad for a moment, but then he regains his composure and seems to be magicking up some clothing for cheap mass production. ]

[ninetyninelives]

[how much cool can you keep when YOU + ME = HILARIO PUDDLES]

[spelltrouble]

[ He can save public face TYVM!! Plus he already has set his heart on being cold and distant to Rio. Which you can see. He made his goodbyes after all and you both deserve freedooooommmm. ]

[ninetyninelives]

[we're know where you sleep]

[spelltrouble]

[ You always have??? ]

[pausing at the tailors and looking inside]

-- Ah, hello. I don't believe we've met before.

[spelltrouble]

Indeed. I just arrived. Is it common to be familiar with all the residents here?

[glorious]

Not with all residents, but all the recent arrivals so far are those who have come to deal with the labyrinths. Which makes us coworkers in a sense, and I like to at least know my coworkers if I can.

My name is Van Grants. It's a pleasure to meet you.

[spelltrouble]

That is sensible. I am Tarnist, the pleasure is mine.

How long have you been here, Van?

[glorious]

Still less than a week. I have participated in three labyrinths in that time though.

[spelltrouble]

That is quite a number. What can you say about them?

[glorious]

They seem to vary in what you're required to do. The last one I was in required a great deal of exploration in an area full of traps and the one before that required a great deal of riddles in order to progress, both of which were to be expected. However, the first labyrinth required us to socialize with each other, which was more...unusual.

[spelltrouble]

Interesting. So each is unique. Was there anything particular magical in nature about them?
