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!))

Not yet. But, I want to go in soon!

[ninetyninelives]

There was one today, so there should be another one soon.

[handle]

Woah - that often, huh?

[ninetyninelives]

We've had four this week.

[handle]

In that case, it's only a matter of time before the next one!

--Ah sorry, sorry. I'm Sorey.

[ninetyninelives]

Nice to meet you, Sorey. I'm Mao.

[handle]

[ He nods in return. ]

Out of curiosity, how long have you been here, Mao?

[ninetyninelives]

Only five days. Nobody's been here long.

[handle]

In that case, they've really only just started recruiting people, huh? We'll all discover new things together!

[ninetyninelives]

That's right. It's a new experience for everyone.

[handle]

But, I guess we're pretty lucky that you have some experience with the labyrinths, too, huh?

[ninetyninelives]

Each one's been different though.

[handle]

Seriously? That's tricky--

[ninetyninelives]

Some were exploring, one was a social activity... But they're always something fantastical.

[handle]

Did anyone find anything when they were exploring?

[ninetyninelives]

All kinds of things! But the labyrinth is destroyed at the end.

[handle]

--Everyone in it-- were they alright?

[ninetyninelives]

It's hard to tell if the people you meet inside are real or a figment of the labyrinth.

[handle]

Just what do you mean by that?

[ninetyninelives]

Part of the labyrinth is dealing with the people inside. On one hand, I got my baby out of one. On the other, the first labyrinth was the creation of someone who knew he would be destroyed along with it.

[handle]

I think I understand. Could it be that... it's difficult to tell what's real and what's not when you're in it....

[ninetyninelives]

Right. Do the things inside exist when we're not there to see them?

[handle]

Sounds tricky, but that's why we're here to help, right?
