[a little ice breaker]

Who: everyone!
When: throughout the week of August 10
Where: everywhere
What: a little mischief
Warnings: nada!

[On August 10th, everyone wakes up to find a series of red yarn strung across the entire school. They dangle from the hallway ceilings, from the classroom door frames, even across some of the trees and bleachers outside. The ones that hang within reach feel warm to the touch! They can be pulled down and removed with little consequence.]

[However, it is not the decorative threads you should be worried about. Throughout the week, any two characters who come in close proximity with each other (they do not have to touch!) may suddenly find themselves tied together with the exact same red thread. If you're lucky, it will only link you via your wrists. If you're unlucky, it might bind you via your ankles, or even wrap you both up back-to-back like a pair of captives. Hm! Concerning!!]

[Any time two characters are tied together, a playful voice echoes in their minds: Hehe. Share a secret. . .?]

[To be released, both characters must share a secret with each other! Something that the other one doesn't know! It should be something significant; the playful threads will not let you go unless it is. But the level of significance may vary from something light to something that is not, so ultimately it is player's choice as to what secrets count and which do not!]

[. . . anyway, for anyone who wants to avoid getting caught, the nurse's office and dorm rooms are completely clear! The threads are also fickle; it is possible for two characters to hang out without being tied up together, if you don't want to play with this effect. Otherwise, go forth and mingle with some optional forced bonding!!]

[ Meaning she just heard a voice and didn't think to mention it? Hmm. ]

Random voices sounding in our heads seems weirdly normal around here.

[trying her very best to pretend she didn't just say something weird, and moving on instead.]

Ideally it would be a trend that we'd find a solution for soon...

[brushing her fingers over her temple for just a minute with a frown, but.]

Do you have any that you wouldn't mind sharing too much, or should we keep looking?
suplexer: (137)

[personal profile] suplexer 2025-08-19 02:49 am (UTC)(link)
... It probably depends on what counts as a secret.

[ While Tifa would like to hope that they can find a solution for the voices, it frankly seems unlikely unless they find a way to leave this place entirely. And that's come up with only dead ends, so far. ]

[personal profile] darkholder 2025-08-19 02:52 am (UTC)(link)
[thinking it over for a moment.]

We could each start with something small and see if that counts, I suppose. Better that than starting with something unnecessarily revealing.
suplexer: (036)

[personal profile] suplexer 2025-08-19 04:12 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, not a bad idea.

[ But... what's something small? Tifa takes a moment to consider. ]

I used to run a bar. Sometimes when a patron ticked me off, I'd start watering down their drinks and upping the price.
darkholder: (pic#17657344)

[personal profile] darkholder 2025-08-19 04:14 am (UTC)(link)
Hm. It sounds as though they deserved it.

[just approves immediately]
suplexer: (098)

[personal profile] suplexer 2025-08-19 04:18 am (UTC)(link)
[ Tifa chuckles and nods. ]

You're not wrong. Some of them were major creeps.
darkholder: (pic#17657328)

[personal profile] darkholder 2025-08-19 04:28 am (UTC)(link)
Did they ever realize?

[curious, as she thinks about what her own answer will be]
suplexer: (113)

[personal profile] suplexer 2025-08-19 04:34 pm (UTC)(link)
If they did, I think they knew better than to bring it up. They knew I was fully capable of throwing them out on their asses.

[ Smiles! ]
darkholder: (pic#17657344)

[personal profile] darkholder 2025-08-20 04:07 am (UTC)(link)
[a small little smile]

I might have liked to see that... [but after a moment] I suppose - when I was younger, I used to sneak out of my bedroom to go to the library.
suplexer: (066)

[personal profile] suplexer 2025-08-20 09:51 pm (UTC)(link)
[ That's such a cute and innocuous secret??? Tifa smiles warmly. ]

You're a bookworm, huh?
darkholder: (pic#17657236)

[personal profile] darkholder 2025-08-21 03:03 am (UTC)(link)
I was back then, at least. I'm typically too busy for it now, but... I do enjoy it when I have the time.
suplexer: (014)

[personal profile] suplexer 2025-08-21 07:35 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Both of them have now offered secrets, so...

Tifa tugs at the string, hoping it'll fall away, but no such luck. ]


... Well, guess it was wishful thinking to assume it'd be that easy, huh?
darkholder: (pic#17657231)

[personal profile] darkholder 2025-08-21 09:56 pm (UTC)(link)
Yes, I suppose so.

[sighing, but...]

Since you went first last time, I suppose... I'm very frightened of heights.
suplexer: (096)

[personal profile] suplexer 2025-08-22 06:52 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Oh... so this is more what Star would consider a secret? Tifa takes a moment to consider that, frowning given her own bad association with certain heights. ]

Is there a reason for it, or have you just always been scared of them?
darkholder: (pic#17657253)

[personal profile] darkholder 2025-08-22 11:18 pm (UTC)(link)
I fell off a horse when I was younger.
suplexer: (149)

[personal profile] suplexer 2025-08-25 07:57 pm (UTC)(link)
[ ....... ]

A horse?
darkholder: (pic#17657194)

[personal profile] darkholder 2025-08-26 02:55 am (UTC)(link)
[tilting her head just a bit]

Yes. Is that strange?

[she hasn't guessed she might not know what that is just yet.]
suplexer: (014)

[personal profile] suplexer 2025-08-26 07:26 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh, I just don't know what that is...

[ An animal? Some kind of vehicle? She has no idea. ]
darkholder: (pic#17657253)

[personal profile] darkholder 2025-08-26 09:07 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh. It's an animal - people often ride on them due to their speed.
suplexer: (014)

[personal profile] suplexer 2025-08-26 09:14 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh! So like a chocobo? Is it a bird?
darkholder: (pic#17657344)

[personal profile] darkholder 2025-08-28 03:19 am (UTC)(link)
Ah - no, it doesn't have wings.

[thinking of how to describe this]

It's more like a dog than a bird, but that's not quite it, either... Do you have dogs where you're from?
suplexer: (091)

[personal profile] suplexer 2025-08-28 07:03 pm (UTC)(link)
We do have dogs, sure, but... you couldn't ride one?

[ Tifa did not realize how much animals and creatures could differ from one world to the next. ]
darkholder: (pic#17657187)

[personal profile] darkholder 2025-08-28 11:17 pm (UTC)(link)
No, they're not quite like dogs. They're larger, and sturdier, too. I'm not sure how to explain them if you've never seen them, though.
suplexer: (149)

[personal profile] suplexer 2025-08-29 09:26 pm (UTC)(link)
That's all right! Maybe I could find a book with a drawing of one in the library...

[ Mental note for another time. ]

Are you scared of horses too, then? Or only heights?
