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!))

[ he's been looking back in the direction of that tailor shop. :| d-displeased. ]

Why would something be wrong if I just got here?

[ninetyninelives]

For someone who just arrived at a library in a new, magical world and unexpectedly ran into their brother... Those aren't things that would make you quietly grumpy.

[reincatnation]

[ shrugs. bc he has business with the guy who made him grumpy. he will. have business with him anyways. ]

Don't worry about it?

[ninetyninelives]

Nii-san.

[reincatnation]

You probably already saw him.

[ninetyninelives]

[SIGH]

What did he do now?

[reincatnation]

He's trying to run away, I think.

[ from us? his problems? a combination of that??? ]

[ninetyninelives]

That's no good.

[reincatnation]

He also tried to pretend like he didn't know me.

[ninetyninelives]

Then let's go reintroduce ourselves.

[reincatnation]

...

Yes, let's.

[ninetyninelives]

Let me tidy up my things, and we'll go.

[where that means scooping up a plantbaby from behind the reception desk, where it was playing with OVERDUE and LIBRARY PROPERTY stamps]

[reincatnation]

[ ............. ]

Mao, what is that?

[ninetyninelives]

A baby.

[reincatnation]

[ ... taking a look at it. hello baby. ]

Why?

[ninetyninelives]

[baby is not sure how to handle there being two Maos suddenly]

I told you I wanted kids.

[reincatnation]

[ charming little baby. but. also weird. ]

Where did you even find a baby?

[ninetyninelives]

They were in the labyrinth. Some people down there wanted to make a sacrifice to a dragon.

[reincatnation]

... that's cruel. So you saved the baby?

[ninetyninelives]

I did! Now it's my baby.

[reincatnation]

[ sdjfksdf, well... ]

And you're going to raise it?

[ninetyninelives]

I am! Isn't it cute?

[reincatnation]

Have you named it yet? Does it have a name already?

[ninetyninelives]

Not yet, but I can't call it Baby forever, can I?

[reincatnation]

When it grows up, Baby becomes kind of untrue....
