Let's Play 20 Questions

[trainmasters]

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!]]

[ opting for sweater + shirt + pants + sandals. ]

Not in a while, no.

[ hefting the statue back under her arm again and heading back out ]

So we're Jasmine, huh?

[crimeson]

[same outfit--

well it's a uniform so there are only so many permutations.]

That's right. Welcome!

Can I ask what's up with the statue?

[bondkeeper]

[ shifts her grip on it to cradle it in one arm with the head upwards, more like carrying a child, and touches the pointer finger of her free hand to her own cheek ]

She's me ♥

[crimeson]

...Ya lost me, but that's your business I guess.

[bondkeeper]

[ shifts her stance and drops the statue. it disassembles itself in the air, the different metal segments snapping into place on her body into a half-suit of pink armor, the sweater sleeves muffling the sound of the chains spiraling down her forearms as she curls her right hand in her left palm and cracks her knuckles through the gauntlets ]

This is the Andromeda cloth, my heart and soul.

Which makes me the Saint of Athena, Andromeda Sophie. But these days I'll answer to "Breeze," too, if you're more into that kinda thing~

[crimeson]

[....whistles.]

I'll call you whatever you want, so pick your favorite. I'm Randy Orlando, no amnesia name, nice to meet you.

[bondkeeper]

Your name is Randy Orlando?

[crimeson]

Randolph, if we're feelin' fancy.

[bondkeeper]

Buhahahahahaha! Holy shit! Well you got the body for it at least! Ahahahahahaha!

[crimeson]

I've got the body for it, huh?

[bondkeeper]

Yeah, for sure! Don't tell me no one's told you so, baby~

[crimeson]

Gotta admit, normally when people laugh about my name they don't follow up by calling me hot! Those are usualy separate conversations. I'll take it, though~

[bondkeeper]

I mean, hey, might as well own it, right?

[crimeson]

It's true! You caught me. Randy is randy.

[bondkeeper]

That's cute.

So what should I know around here? I got the newbie welcome letter and all, but you know, besides that.

[crimeson]

[winks cheerfully at the praise]

Does the welcome letter include the "world's fucked, make friends to save it" part? It's been a while.

[bondkeeper]

Yeah, that was pretty much the thrust of it.

[crimeson]

Cool. Umm... half of us can turn into wolves whenever we want now, so don't worry about strays.

[bondkeeper]

How many is half of us?

[crimeson]

Jasmine and Thyme. Well, 'cept you, now, I guess.

Half is a strong word.

[bondkeeper]

Oh, I thought you were saying like, half of Jasmine. How many of us are there?

[ and starting for the stairs again ]

Any problem if I go take a look around?

[crimeson]

S'just you an' me an' Coral an' 80H, when it comes to Jasmine. And a couple of other teams in similar situations.

Nah. Shall I walk with you, or do you wanna do that alone?

[bondkeeper]
