[Game 21] That Night

After everyone has gotten fed and had a chance to learn the basic details of what things are like here, Kieran calls you all together (pretty much because Madison had been trying to work up the steam to do so, so Kieran stepped in instead).

It's dark outside, and a little chill—about 9 or 10PM.

"Okay, guys," Kieran says. "So, Maddy's got enough train tickets for all of us minus two. Maddy's staying behind because of prophecy reasons, and I'm going to stay with him so he's not left alone in this house and also because I'm probably a killswitch for a powerful incubus, aka my boyfriend, showing up if anything happens to me and, by extension, Maddy." He delivers this all in a deadpan. "Anything else, Maddy?"

Maddy looks a little alarmed to be put on the spot, shaking his head and flushing a little. "Er. Not for now. Oh . . . if anything goes. Weird? Please listen to Sariel—he's . . . in charge?" And he hands over an envelope to everyone's favourite psychopomp.

[I mean, he's wearing a very 90s sweater, but fashion sense aside, he looks normal.]

This feels like a field trip.

Maybe that's what we should pretend it is.

Except I haven't gone to any school since, uh, grade school.

We can just... pretend we're doing something for a college class?

A train experiment.

Oh no, you just made me think of math class...

I don't get it.

The train problems, you know? If a train is leaving city A at whatever speed, and a second train leaves city B, blah blah blah.

[bouncing a little with excitement]

You look like you're already having fun.

A'm ready to face th' future ♪

Is that where we're taking the train to?

Aye, tis where they usually go tae.

That sounds like one of those things that might be deep but might not be...

[ mmmMMMMMMMM ]

.... I.

I may have a warmer sweater for you.

Do you think this won't be warm enough...?

Oh. No. Humans are quite fragile to the cold, aren't they. Please let me get you another one.

All right...? If you want.

[ GOES

AND COMES BACK WITH A NEW ONE ]

[takes it...]

I guess it does seem a little thicker. Thanks, Cys.

[he puts it on. you have successfully defeated the 90s sweater. take 50 exp.]

Oh, Bakura. I missed you earlier. It's good to see you again.

[oblivious to the 90s aura]

It's nice to see you too! It's easy to miss people when the house is this crowded...

Mm, it wasn't built for more than seven people to live in comfortably, I think. Do you want a candlestick?

Oh, um, sure?

[hands him one (1) hefty candlestick, good for lighting on fire or hitting someone in the back of the head with]

Thanks. They'll let us board the train with these, right...?
