Event 001: The Potions
Characters: All.
When: February 1st
Where: Town Square
Warnings: None. Please put any warnings in the comment subject if it progresses that way!
As of this morning, there will be a steady rain over Penance that will darken the skies to black and fall as if somehow tainted and muddied, followed by a cold and harsh wind that will chill one to the bone if they dare to venture out in it... which may be necessary. The ground and roads will be slick and muddied, but there will be power outages due to the weather so staying in may not be necessarily more appealing. The rain will continue steadily for a week and be intermittent the rest of the month.
However, should anyone venture to the town square in search of warmth, there will be a large tent set up that is entirely illuminated regardless of whether the rest of Penance is or not. There will be supplies such as food and water for the taking, as well as a few old blankets for people to huddle under while they wait out the storm.
That's not all, of course. It wouldn't be atoning in the slightest if things were made too calm and cozy during the storm. There will also be letters left to each of Penance's new citizens detailing what this month's punishment entails.
It's time for your hosts to be a little less kind than upon arrival.
A table set up under the tent has five different kind of vials on it, plenty of each to go around. They have the following effects:
For those eager for punishment (which your hosts love to see), you may take more than one vial to spread out over the month, although taking multiple potions at once may not be entirely wise for most. Citizens may opt to try to avoid punishment this month, but again, remember all choices may have future consequences. Your hosts are here to see that you pay for your sins, not just scrape by.
With your letter collected, you may stay and get to know each other a little better while you wait for the storm to pass or insist on grabbing your items and brave the return to your home. The choice is absolutely yours.

It's time for your hosts to be a little less kind than upon arrival.
A table set up under the tent has five different kind of vials on it, plenty of each to go around. They have the following effects:
- Pink. Allows for one to hear the true thoughts of others, including what is thought about them for 24 hours during all interactions. This is to cause some self-reflection and insight into how they're viewed.
- Green. Allows for pain to be given to another for 24 hours. It will be agonizing pain and sickness. While this is extremely frowned upon, it will mean that the person in question will have participated in punishments this round and will be excused from drinking any other potion. However, remember that the actions we take now may have consequences in the future. It should also be noted that you won't get to choose who experiences the pain due to your decision, so no trying to take a grudge out on anyone.
- Purple. Allows one to feel the pain they caused another during their lives for 24 hours. They will feel what that person felt entirely. Hopefully this will cause some reflection and remorse for the actions that caused another to feel hurt.
- Blue. Forces honesty for 24 hours. No lying and one may even be compelled to spill their deepest, darkest secrets and sins to anyone who will listen. Transparency is key to atoning for past sins.
- Red Causes significant pain for 24 hours. It may be general pain like an ache in your bones that can't be soothed, or it may manifest in physical injuries such as cuts, bruises, etc. They say pain can be cleansing...

All the same he gestures in decline of the drink, shaking his head slightly. Not what he needs right now. No, no, the smoke in his lungs is helping the pain just enough, thank you.
"Can you show me where this tavern is?"
no subject
Perhaps Rufus is just biased because his roommate is considerably less agreeable, not that he knows of their arrangement. That's a conversation for another day.
"Sure, I'll show you when you've stopped bleeding all over the floor," he replies amiably, "it'd be a terrible waste for you to take a drink and have it spill back out again."

"It's a stab to the lung, not the stomach." He replies, shooting the stranger a slight look of annoyance. Besides, the liquor isn't for him, anyway. He doesn't partake often and he doesn't intend to start.
He takes another drag of his cigarette instead. Should be able to walk soon enough.

Mind you, worse is what got him here in the first place. Nothing like the pain of a Gatling gun ripping through your body and leaving you bleeding in a church steeple, unable to move or even breathe as the life leaves you.
Still, he's had worse than a stab to the lung. The scars on his body should more than prove that. Not that he's exactly planning on stripping off to show this stranger what worse entails.
He inhales that sweet opium and tobacco, closes his eyes, and exhales slowly. Give him a minute. He'll be up for the trek.

Still holding the bottle, Rufus rises to his feet and beckons to Billy with an affable smirk. If the man's up for walking, he doesn't mind going to get a refill.

"Lead the way." He tilts his head up slightly to look at the man, keeping the cigarette on his lips.
