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:]
WELCOME NEW HEROES

[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:]
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?

[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!]]

[ well. at least this is a good excuse to buy himself something cute.

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. ]

down he goes goodbye world ]

[She actually grabs him by the back of his shirt to catch him! And just. Lifts him straight up.

She stronk, apparently.]


Did you want to look at the frog?

[ -- lifted?? oh. ... .... w. wow. ]

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.
desirestruth: (with Love for the downtrodden)

[personal profile] desirestruth 2019-06-16 11:17 pm (UTC)(link)
Frogs are cute!

[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.
unrepairable: (oh well too late now)

[personal profile] unrepairable 2019-06-17 12:28 pm (UTC)(link)
[ naeva-dono so strong///

-- wait ]

Easier? It can't be that easy to catch a frog. [ he just tried it! it's not easy!! ]
malignstar: (hell's angels)

[personal profile] malignstar 2019-06-16 04:44 pm (UTC)(link)
Want me to catch it for you?
unrepairable: (pic#13165274)

[personal profile] unrepairable 2019-06-16 08:57 pm (UTC)(link)
[ .... he does want the frog. but!! ]

What makes you think you could do any better at catching it than me?
malignstar: (will you play this game)

You too-!? [ wait ] You're not acquainted with Naeva-dono, are you?

[personal profile] malignstar 2019-06-16 09:39 pm (UTC)(link)
Nope. We're just werewolves. Naeva's cool though.
unrepairable: (i suck at this)

[personal profile] unrepairable 2019-06-16 09:58 pm (UTC)(link)

Thyme.

[ Holds out a hand, there are claws to match the fangs and wings ]

Name's Felix.
unrepairable: (dwtools has failed me)

[personal profile] unrepairable 2019-06-16 10:17 pm (UTC)(link)



[ he's not taking that. but he does give a shallow bow. ]

Kashuu. ... isn't Thyme one of the teams? You're all werewolves?
malignstar: (only silence)

[personal profile] malignstar 2019-06-16 10:24 pm (UTC)(link)
Yep. It happened while we were helping our shapeshifter daughter.
unrepairable: (pic#13165254)

[personal profile] unrepairable 2019-06-17 12:23 pm (UTC)(link)
-- shapeshifter? [ a pause. oh. ... he wasn't expecting feelings about that today. ]

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?
malignstar: http://zeecosh.tumblr.com/commissions (i realize that i'm the one confused)

[personal profile] malignstar 2019-06-18 10:31 pm (UTC)(link)
Still not sure about that. How did Aimi turn out?

[watching]

What are your intentions towards the frog?
unrepairable: (maybe i can give up 3/4ths of the way)

[personal profile] unrepairable 2019-06-17 12:21 pm (UTC)(link)
[ wh- ]

Intentions?

[ ..... wha ]

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

What's your definition of untowards?
unrepairable: (why did i even bother)

[personal profile] unrepairable 2019-06-18 05:02 am (UTC)(link)
[ ... ? ?? ..??? ]

I don't know? Kissing it? Eating it??

[personal profile] wontforbidtherain 2019-06-20 02:45 am (UTC)(link)
Why would you kiss a frog?
unrepairable: (pic#13165247)

[personal profile] unrepairable 2019-06-21 08:25 pm (UTC)(link)
I wouldn't! But you asked what "my intentions" were with the frog, so what else am I supposed to think!

I did not mean you had... lewd intentions towards it.
