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!))

[ Low and behold, once Sorey looks to a puddle - he sees his past self with none other than his childhood friend. Those who might look over Sorey's shoulder will see him looking quite perplexed at seeing a mini him. He blinks a bit, scratching his head. However, he doesn't look away.

Strange, but it seems pretty harmless.... He was just on his way to look for some shelter from the rain, too. That'd just caught his eye! ]

Huh? I don't get why-- but that's pretty amazing.

[sintimental]

[ Peeking over his shoulder...that isn't even a reflection. Is this considered being nosy because he's being nosy. ]

Whoa...

[handle]

Can you see it, too?

[sintimental]

I can. That's pretty weird.

[handle]

Do you think so? I think it's pretty impressive!

[loveinvein]

[ Unfortunately, Mikaela is antisocial as ever and not one to pay any attention to some stranger's idle comments. However, the puddles themselves are distracting enough for both Sorey and Mikaela that it's only natural that Mika would bump into him! ]

—tch.

[ More unfortunately, Mikaela is also antisocial enough to not even apologize, trying to step aside and brush it all off as quickly as possible. ]

[handle]

[ Oh, had he been distracted, too? There's a light 'oof' that could be heard from Sorey, but he wasn't bumped in hard enough to really lose his balance. ]

--Sorry, but are you alright?

[loveinvein]

Fine.

[ And he's all geared up to leave, except now his companion (Yuu) is being nosy about said puzzle. Which means he has to hover. Uncomfortably. ]

[handle]

[ With the way he's looking around-- ]

Are you looking for something? [ In that case, he can help! ]

[ninetyninelives]

If you splash it, it goes away.

[handle]

I don't mind seeing it-- more than that, I really want to know how this is possible.

[ninetyninelives]

It's some kind of magic overflow from the labyrinth.

[handle]

In that case--there's likely a lot more things like this in the labyrinths themselves!

[cardofhearing]

Ah! Yours too! Are they doing that for everyone?!

[handle]

I think so, but I wonder why it's little me there--?

[cardofhearing]

Mmh, mine was the same! Arata and me when we were little... It's strange to see again, right? But nice!

[handle]

Arata? Did you see your friend, too?

[Shinoa walks past his puddle, watching the scene as she twirls her giant rose umbrella. These people and their childhoods...]

Of course it's amazing—it's certainly not normal, right?

[handle]

Ah, could you see it, too?

[familitiarize]

I did—I hope you weren't planning on hiding your childhood.

[handle]

Did it seem like I was? That's not exactly the case.

[glorious]

[stops and glances at the puddle, then up at Sorey]

The weather here has a tendency to be...strange, from time to time.

[handle]

Ah? Has it done this before?

[glorious]

Not this, no -- and it does seem to be the strangest thing yet...But the weather certainly changes suddenly here and seems to take on magical qualities.

[handle]

It's a little strange, but it doesn't seem like anything that's bad, either.
