Let's Play 20 Questions
Who: Everyone
When: Day 30, afternoon
Where: the Aurora
[Though the sun should be high in the air, just after noon the sky clouds over, and a steady drizzle begins. While gloomy, it's not particularly harsh, and the warm weather means you might even enjoy being out in it! In fact, the relatively thin and patchy clouds mean you may seem rainbows here and there. It's quite nice, really -- except, that is, that there are now tiny frogs everywhere. Near the train they're safe, but closer to the corrupt areas they're toxic.
At the same time, you hear the jingle associated with an official message from your Chain -- the usual "newbie time" balloon animation and text:]
[This round's new blood are waking up in their rooms, in the usual nondescript undies or team pyjamas.
For the first hour or so, it seems that'll all that'll happen today. But then there's that all too familiar Trial feeling...
...Aaaand a flashy pink convertible has arrived in the clearing. It's followed up by another message:]
[Message sent, Cardamom gets out of his car and unfurls a big, incredibly sparkly silver umbrella. It looks like the most intensely holographic nail polish you can buy, and the raindrops only make it worse.]
[[OOC NOTES: As the monthly prompts, the rain and frogs will continue until next month's placements. You can find more info on them in the announcements over here!
If you want to tag Cardamom, there's a toplevel here. If you have any questions, please ping the mods via the q&a. Thank you!]]

Hello, everyone. Your ever-grateful Prince speaking. It's been awhile and we've got some new faces, so I'm here to answer a few questions.
Buut to spare myself a little, I'm limiting it to one question per hero. I'll tell the truth, no matter what you ask, as long as it's at all reasonable! After that though, I reserve the right to cut you off -- but I won't, probably, if you play nice.
Sooo, how about you come outside and see me?

though as he originally stepped outside to investigate the strange appearance of a bright pink convertible and a man calling himself "prince".... he's been waylaid.
there's a big frog right in front of him and he's just. standing. starring at it. rather intensely.
before he tries to walk towards it
and it hops away ]
Ah-! Wait...! [ he's going after it! stooping every so often to get a closer look before it hops off again.
rinse and repeat. ]

Naeva-- [ he startles a little which
leads to him getting distracted. and slipping on a particularly muddy patch of dirt.
down he goes goodbye world ]
no subject
She stronk, apparently.]
Did you want to look at the frog?
no subject
Ah. M... maybe. Just a little bit. I haven't seen any of the animals in this place before, and...
[ um. ] Its eyes... are a little bit cute.
no subject
[Setting him down gently!] I can go catch it. I was going to see if I could catch some of the fish here for the aquarium, but frogs are easier.
no subject
-- wait ]
Easier? It can't be that easy to catch a frog. [ he just tried it! it's not easy!! ]
no subject

What makes you think you could do any better at catching it than me?

[ he's not taking that. but he does give a shallow bow. ]
Kashuu. ... isn't Thyme one of the teams? You're all werewolves?
no subject
no subject
That's right, I suppose you also received a daughter... but Aimi was also a - [ hm. he's not sure what happened there actually. ]
We weren't turned into werewolves, in any case. Exactly how did you manage to get yourselves into that sort of trouble?

What are your intentions towards the frog?

Intentions?

I'm not planning on doing anything untowards if that's what you're asking. [ "INTENTIONS" IS A STRANGE WORD TO USE HERE ]
