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...
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.

It's getting easier to play the role he's used to playing around others. The congenial southern gentleman. Nothing wrong with him. "Can't say I'm much of either. But I've weathered a few hurricanes. You get your supplies while it's still calm enough to be out. Best to take care of needs now, so that you're ready for the worst of it later on." It's not foolishness or bravery. It's pure survival.
"You're welcome to join me if you want." Mostly because he hopes that this young man could sort of guide him to the general store. He still hasn't gotten the lay of the land.

What are hurricans? he asked himself, while he was deciding whether or not he could dare to ask. In the end he decided that for now he shouldn't give away the impression that he wasn't very bright.
As the man continued to talk Eren assumed that this word was referring to a meteorological event.
"I guess it would also be the most wisest decision to always be prepared for a worst cast scenario here." Silently he was congratulating himself for this assumption. How come he hadn't thought of it earlier? Perhaps it would be wise to look at life in this town from a soldier's point of view.
"That would be great. You never know what will await you." If you don't know what exactly you have to face, it is always good to have someone by your side. Hopefully the weather was the only thing the had to face but Eren wouldn't have laid his hand into a fire for this.

He doesn't feel like running right now. Not when he has someone who needs him back in the house he picked out. He won't abandon Billy again. Instead, he knows he'll be headed back home with what he can gather.
"Then come along, son. We don't have all day to lollygag about." Goodnight turns towards where the market in the town.

"Let's hope that we will be able to snatch some of the good stuff and not only the things no one wants" Eren laughed. So far he hadn't seen much luxury in this town, or what he thought could be labeled as 'luxury' and by all means to him some of the simplest things deserved that label, like fresh clear water.
After they had walked a couple of minutes Eren thought, that it would only be polite to introduce himself. Part of him wanted to socialize with the town's people, since he knew that for most of the things he had done, they wouldn't judge him so it would be easier to be himself. He came to this place on his own and he missed some people who he could call "friends" or at least "acquaintances".
Still a small part of him was afraid of this process.
"By the way, my name is Eren Jaeger." A split second he was asking himself if he should add something, but he couldn't think of anything either funny or remarkable. At least nothing that would probably scare any potential acquaintance away and by all means, that wasn't his plan.
no subject
"Eren. It's a pleasure despite this weather." A pause and he is considering. So far, no one's reacted badly to his name. His infamy hadn't followed him. He can't be rude so he'll risk it again. "Goodnight Robicheaux's the name."
Sorry, my muse ran away .__.
But they had never talked about where their families had their roots. They all had been children who had lost most of their families and talking about them was painful. Therefore Eren had no clue what the names of the countries where and who could guarantee him, that in Penance they would go under the same name. But the urge to drop a comment was overwhelming. So he simply said "Your surname ... from which country comes it?"
Inside Eren shook his head. He was about to make a fool out of himself. But the missing geographical knowledge was not entirely his fault. At least this will keep the conversation going.
