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...

Goodnight, however, was faith restored.
"Blue sounds dangerous. The truth without filter." One a man of privacy such as himself would hate to take. Perhaps he should be careful in the next few months or so that no one laces his drink with such a thing...

With a low voice he continued "Could it be possible that, if the wrong person drinks the blue vial, said person could trigger with their confession the population to turn against them?"
Suddenly a shiver was running down his spine and he got the impression that it was much colder in the tent then just a couple of seconds ago. With silent horror he saw the scene right before his inner eye: someone who couldn't walk on the street without being harassed from everyone around him, someone who got pushed away from society and then suddenly all he saw was the color red.
He swallowed hard, being fully aware that it was visible on his face that his thinking had been busy. Yes, he could just murmur the words of the stranger "Blue sounds dangerous."
Maybe that is why the ocean is blue. This thought crossed his mind in a split second.
