Newbies + Monthly Prompts!

Who: Everyone
When: Day 47, morning
Where: the Aurora

[It's that time again: this morning, you're awoken by the jingle associated with an official message from your Chain -- the usual "newbie time" balloon animation and text:]
WELCOME NEW HEROES

[This round's newbies are waking up in their rooms, in the usual nondescript undies or team pyjamas.

Outside, the cold snap has broken. It's back to jungle warmth, though the sudden change in temperature appears to have caused a thick fog. So thick, in fact, that you can't see more than a few feet in front of you -- and it doesn't burn off with the daylight.

For the next few days, Origin Star will be lost in the mist, and should you venture too far, you may be too. Because out there in the humid dim are willow-the-wisps, faint lights in the fog that will lead you to perilous terrain or into the jaws of beasts.

Sometimes, you may also hear a voice -- a distant song from across the sea, in the direction of the corrupted island. If you get too close, long and spindly arms will reach out of the water and pull you down, for a kiss from a scaly human-like being that sucks all the emotion out of you and leaves you feeling hollow and lacking empathy for others. The cure is time -- you'll be better in a day or so, but you can speed it up by basking in the warm feelings of others.]

[[OOC NOTES: As the monthly prompts, the fog and mermaids will continue until next month's placements. If you have any questions, please ping the mods via the q&a. Thank you!]]

Mm...

[she rests their forehead against theirs]

If you are ever hungry for regular food or...[y'know] please inform me, i have plenty of sparks to buy whatever you need until you are more settled.
dismemberthename: (if wellness is this)

[personal profile] dismemberthename 2019-11-18 07:43 pm (UTC)(link)
...Okay. I don't wanna be a burden...

[but all three of them know the circumstances here]
voreaciously: (90)

i hate how excited i was to see this in my inbox

[personal profile] voreaciously 2019-11-18 07:51 pm (UTC)(link)
[She hesitates a moment before she kisses their forehead, tenderly.]

It is fine. It is the least I can do.

a tree is never slow she arrives precisely when she means to!

[personal profile] voreaciously 2019-11-27 09:23 am (UTC)(link)
...I am sorry again, for that display.

[she has a long way to go to making it up to them.]

...Were you hungry? I will make anything you like if I am able.
dismemberthename: ('cause who knows?)

(unsure)

[personal profile] dismemberthename 2019-11-27 09:26 am (UTC)(link)
[always. just so endlessly hungry all the fucking time. but.

shakes his head.]

Nah. I just wanna hold you.

Khuur-han...

[she sounds concerned, but hesitantly so. Like she hasn't the right.

She probably doesn't.]

If you let me feed you, you can hold me for as long as you like after.

[this doesn't sound like a good deal at all, she feels...repellant, but he says that's what he wants and morin is telling her to let him have it, so...]

Ah, I have a nice new bath, too.
dismemberthename: (well i still have my health)

[personal profile] dismemberthename 2019-11-27 09:36 am (UTC)(link)
Ah... well, I guess I can be good. I know I'm kinda a mess.

[to put it uh, lightly.]
voreaciously: (120)

[personal profile] voreaciously 2019-11-27 09:39 am (UTC)(link)
It is alright.

[like, they've often been? messes? in forest? like thankfully the river was right there, but before they got to the town, they were sleeping outside and stuff so it's whatever.

But she will stand and offer them a hand up.]

How does curry sound?
dismemberthename: (i can run into debt)

[personal profile] dismemberthename 2019-11-27 09:43 am (UTC)(link)
[takes that hand! pulling themselves up]

Curry sounds great.
voreaciously: (86)

[personal profile] voreaciously 2019-11-27 09:49 am (UTC)(link)
[She loosens her hand a little in case they want to let go of it, but she will lead them to Jasmine whether or not they hold her hand

You know what Jasmine looks like im not describing it.]

Welcome to Jasmine. Did you wish to take a bath first while I cooked? I can take care of your clothes in the meantime, as well.

[just like, total housewife this one.]
dismemberthename: (me? well i'm well)

[personal profile] dismemberthename 2019-11-27 09:54 am (UTC)(link)
[they whistle because holy shit jasmine's decorating, to be honest.]

Uhh, okay! If you don't mind.
voreaciously: (85)

[personal profile] voreaciously 2019-11-27 10:00 am (UTC)(link)
[Jasmine is legit, but she's not biased, nosiree.

She will put on an apron before leading them to the bathroom. It is, sadly, not upgraded yet, but it's not bad at all.

She does consider the sex party room, but that might not be kosher with Crow. It's always been just between them.]

Please take your time, though the food will not take too long. I have done some prep for it, this morning.
dismemberthename: (do what you want)

[personal profile] dismemberthename 2019-11-27 10:31 am (UTC)(link)
[well a functional modern bathroom is still more than morin has seen uh, ever, and khuur doesn't exactly remember them very clearly, so it's STILL IMPRESSIVE BY THEIR GRIMY STANDARDS.]

I'm not gonna be eating anyone else's dinner, right?
voreaciously: (85)

[personal profile] voreaciously 2019-11-27 10:34 am (UTC)(link)
No, it is fine. I always make some extra.

[gives them randy's porti

nah jk]

No one is due back until much later, I think. If I feel as though I need more, I will have time, but it should be fine.

[finn sits in the library most of the time, randy goes to ginger, selene does what selene does.]

Go enjoy yourself.
dismemberthename: (well i still have my health)

[personal profile] dismemberthename 2019-11-27 10:38 am (UTC)(link)
All right, thanks.

[GONNA

BATH!!!]
voreaciously: (47)

[personal profile] voreaciously 2019-11-27 10:43 am (UTC)(link)
[when they leave she sets about washing their clothes and starting to cook but she

starts to cry just a little bit again before she wipes her tears her tears away and gets to making a really great curry.

she simply cannot believe they're here...she tries to fight against an anxiety that buds at letting them go out of her sight, but no, no that's irrational

or is it?

No, she needs to focus. All her meat and vegetables are chopped and ready and seasoned, everything just needs to be assembled and while it all simmers, she washes rice before putting it in the cooker.

Maybe if she just knocks--no.

But as the pot stews, the aroma of delicious food permeates the kitchen and travels throughout the cabin.]

[personal profile] dismemberthename 2019-12-03 11:44 am (UTC)(link)
[yes please rescue that lovely dress it doesn't deserve the shit it's been through

they maybe kind of fall asleep in the bath, send help?]
voreaciously: (54)

[personal profile] voreaciously 2019-12-03 11:53 am (UTC)(link)
[when it's been a while she will come to check on them and finds them sleeping.

which is cute.

she's not worried and she's seen them naked a few times so she will gather them up bridal style and dress them in jasmine spares while the dress is being washed before placing them on her bed. She sits next to them brushing her hand through their hair. She will stay with them until they wake.]
dismemberthename: (but my peace)

1/2

[personal profile] dismemberthename 2019-12-03 12:00 pm (UTC)(link)
[they sleep for a while, oddly peaceful. it's hard to find them this relaxed, really.]
dismemberthename: (mary have mercy)

[personal profile] dismemberthename 2019-12-03 12:00 pm (UTC)(link)
[but when they wake they are LATCHING ONTO HER ARM FRANTICALLY, HELLO, YOU ARE NOT ALLOWED TO LEAVE, AWARE OF DOGS?]
voreaciously: (52)

[personal profile] voreaciously 2019-12-03 12:03 pm (UTC)(link)
[when they awake she doesn't move]

...Hello. Did you sleep well?
dismemberthename: (but i cannot)

[personal profile] dismemberthename 2019-12-03 12:06 pm (UTC)(link)
[ssssslowly... lessening their grip. oops.]

Yes. How long?
voreaciously: (83)

[personal profile] voreaciously 2019-12-03 12:09 pm (UTC)(link)
Not terribly long, really. I've finished cooking and your clothes are drying. Did you wish to eat, now?
dismemberthename: (are the death of all things)

[personal profile] dismemberthename 2019-12-03 12:10 pm (UTC)(link)
Sure.

[getting kind of distracted by the jasmine pajamas though, holy shit these leggings.]

The theming is really strong in this place, huh...
