INTROS + MONTHLIES
Who: Everyone
When: Day 51, evening
Where: the Aurora
[It's evening, and as the stars come out you get that text again:]
[This round's newbies are waking up in their rooms, in the usual nondescript undies or team pyjamas.
Outside, the fog is gone. In its place is a pleasant evening, its beauty enhanced by tiny, softly-glowing flowers along the jungle paths. Unfortunately, should you peer closer toy may notice these flowers have blackened, curled leaves -- and the scent that wafts up when you step on them will either heighten or dull one of your senses.
But hey, why go in the jungle when you could eat questionable snacks in the lounge again? This time there are towers of round chocolates in varying colours, and sparkle blue and white snowflake decor on the walls and hanging from the ceiling. In typical Star Prince and Knights fashion there is a lot of glitter, and the chocolates definitely have a magical side-effect: in this case, transformation.
☆ Blue-wrapped chocolates cause your character to shift in age. They may get older or younger, and this transformation may be purely physical or may include mental shifting as well.
☆ Silver-wrapped chocolates cause your character to gain animal features -- anything from cat ears to fully becoming a cat is acceptable, and any animal real or mythical is game. It won't change you to a size that doesn't fit in the train, though.
☆ White-wrapped chocolates cause a transformation to a different physical sex.
☆ Black-wrapped chocolates cause you to take on the form of another person -- someone on the train or someone you remember from elsewhere. It won't turn you into anyone you don't personally know, however.
These effects wear off within a few hours, and you can combine more than one. Enjoy your icebreaker and make that fresh meat feel welcome!]
[[OOC NOTES: As the monthly prompt, the flowers will continue until next month's placements. If you have any questions, please ping the mods via the q&a. Thank you!]]

So Rufus has fox ears and a big fluffy tail now, and is acting as if this is totally normal while greeting people as they enter the lounge.]

...why did it have to be another train...?
[She hasn't had any reason (yet) to turn down the snacks on a train though. Thanks to one of the silver chocolates, she's a little more "fox"y than usual, with white ears and a tail befitting an arctic fox.]
Um... nope. No way. This is not happening...

when did she even get out her room. when did she get here. who knows. all that seems clear is that she absolutely did not do anything to clean up from "4/5ths asleep and in pyajamas" and is very excited to eat like 50 chocolates.
also that she's purposely bumping into you. ]

I definitely don't trust any of these snacks. Who even brought these?
[ she's absolutely getting war flashbacks to some of the fortune cookies.
nevertheless, she's probably going to wind up people watching; if only because she does need to get to know who else is here, or if there are any familiar faces. ]

[ There's a certain new Clover who eventually manages to make her way into the main area of her team carriage. She's dressed properly-- though she looks fairly overwhelmed. She stumbles in, looking a little dizzy.]
I-- ah, um... h-hello...
[ A prince wants to task her with helping save the universe and she's apparently supposed to be a hero? Is she dreaming...? Maybe she's actually still dreaming. ]
[Chocolates!]
[ Someone has finally made it outside of her team carriage. She's peering out the window toward the jungle with a small frown, a couple of silver chocolates in hand. Somehow or other she doesn't seem to notice the ears atop her head that twitch or the tail she now sports. ]
From here, it looks so pretty outside...
no subject
[But she will also have someone watching her because he didn't recognize those footsteps and]
[Ah, teenage girl.]
[Welp.]
Hello. Welcome to Clover. Have a seat, I can answer your questions.

Several Prompts...
{Cat was going to catch up on her memories. The first one, about some kind of case of aliens was fine, the second (about local history involving body theft and murder) was slightly creepy, but not in a personal way. But when Cat gets to the third one (involving those content warnings), she needs to take a break.]
I need some air...
[And go stare at the ocean for some time. ]
Herritage
[Maybe that's why Cat actually ate a piece of questionable chocolate; finding yourself stretched and suddenly aged... in a way that makes you look like a bulbous-eyed, scaled, clawed, humanoid fish person was at least noticable]
[At least she's still wearing the Thyme colors]
[Cat glances around, to see if anyone was noticing this]
no subject
[There is suddenly a loud SLAM coming from one of the bedrooms as one of the new teammates come storming out of his room arms crossed, and wearing this sweater wrapped across his waist, and that's about it for now. He seems to be glaring down at whomever he meets for now, rage filled in his eyes, but he's keeping his voice low and steady.]
You. I, Rider, who had that which belongs to me stolen from my possession, am very displeased. It is best to consider that right now, I have no patience to deal with nonsense. Do not waste my time. Explain everything that I need to know.
---
[Outside of Ginger.]
[There is suddenly a person. Floating. Above you. He is 100% looking down on you, arms crossed, not wearing much clothing at all for now (see above).]
HEROES OF THIS UNIVERSE!
The stars have aligned to bring me to this world, demanding that I give them my presence. I will voice my words to you, and I shall speak again and again as long as the stars continue to cry out for the happiness that they so desire. Understand that I have not forgotten that they have committed a great crime against my person first. They have stolen that which belongs to me, and those who would commit such an atrocity against someone like myself would usually suffer immense agony for doing so.
Hmph.
For now, I will let it rest.
As I have come to understand, the universe here is being challenged by a menace that cannot be stopped by normal means. That is certainly why I, and it seems, also you, have been chosen to stop such destruction. Though such weakness is not the fault of us, there is at least eyes within the stars that can recognize true greatness. For that, I shall acknowledge.
I SHALL NOW MAKE A PROMISE TO THE STARS!!
Watch, you gods up above us!! I shall give you the pleasure of admiring my prowess! Do not assume that this means I will belittle myself before you! No! I will make every star in the sky understand that it is I whom they shall recognize! They shall prostrate themselves before me, and in return, I will make sure that this universe is protected. For although it is theirs, it is also now mine. This is a certainty that I feel within. Even without those memories which had been lost, I understand even this much. I am someone powerful, and I am someone that shines brighter than these stars above us.
So this world will be saved!
I am Rider of team Ginger, those who are now under my care. Not only will I save this world, I will give my all to those bonds that I must protect. Simply put, I have chosen to accept the request to be responsible of this group. This promise I will take with me even unto death.
So as I have stated:
IT SHALL BE DONE!
Ginger

[Here's a new face, methodically opening every door and drawer he can in every place in the car that he can reach. He's dressed in his battle outfit, but without the full armor and huge horned helmet- or so he appears. In actuality he's still dressed in his arrival pajamas, his current clothing an illusion cast over them.
[He frowns whenever he finds something he cannot open, then makes a motion with his hands. A slight glimmer in the air appears- a magic spell to any that can sense it- but it has no effect, and his frown deepens.]
[Lounge]
[Loki has chosen a nice luxurious chair that gives him a good view of the entire room and everyone in it. He still has the illusion of his battle clothes up, but underneath it he has changed into his team uniform, all in black. He has a book open in his lap and seems to be reading it at a leisurely pace, but in truth he's watching everyone. Watching how they behave by themselves, how they interact with each other.]

[After all the banging, she decided to leave her spell work to investigate.]

[ Brand new Jasmine member who has finally made his way down the stairs to find the fish all over everything. He's actually a little weirded out by the fish. To him that seems to be stranger than the notice on the phone that claims he's some potential hero that is sent by some 'Star Prince'. Totally sounds reasonable.
The fish on the other hand he completely feels like should not be in there--but rather just make him hungry. He wonders how much pressure it would take to get to them. You might find him tapping on the glass at a particularly large fish. ]
You're making me hungry.
[ There he is tapping again. ]

[ He isn't one to turn down free food--at least not yet. Things might be different after today though. He's got a giant squirrel tail and little squirrel ears. ]
At least it's not the cheeks?
[ He pokes and pulls at his cheeks to demonstrate. ]

[ At least the room matched how he felt inside but something about it set him on edge. It was way too busy for his tastes and too much black. It was depressing and he craved light. But worst of all is the fact that he's running around barefoot in only his pajama's because the clothes they have provided him? HELL. NO. ]
WHO THE HELL DO I NEED TO TALK TO ABOUT MY CLOTHES? I'M NOT WEARING THIS CRAP!
[10 points to Gryffindor right off the bat---without a clue.]
[Chocolate]
[Kyou eats one of the chocolates and after his reaction to the clothes he's been provided, you'd think he'd be annoyed with having orange cat ears and a tail as well now.
Kyou. Doesn't. Even. Notice.
It wasn't until he catches sight of his tail out of the corner of his eye and quickly tries to turn and catch it (just like a real cat) that he realizes something is wrong. He's been this way for about 20 minutes by this time ]
Huh? Why?
[It's not the tail that shocks him though. It's that he's not entirely a cat, but he isn't sure WHY that is strange to him. ]
Licorice
[ This guy here is sitting on the couch, wearing a very different outfit (though the purple seems to be inescapable). ]
The clothes they give us to start with are the worst!

[ After dressing herself in clothes that--definitely don't remotely resemble those she last remembers wearing in a room that doesn't look at all like she last remembers sleeping in, this (somehow still) nameless child comes wandering out into Licorice's main cabin. After a quick look around-- ]
... I knew it didn't look right. Did someone redecorate while I was asleep?
[ What happened to Hazel???? Not that she's complaining, but... where did all of the plants go?? ]
[ Chocolates ]
[ She can be found examining the towers of blue, silver, and white wrapped candy. ]
Are we celebrating something today?
Licorice
Hm? Were you somewhere else?

[It's pretty late at night]
[Totally a good time to see memories.]
[Starts out fine with Carolina having some issues but like, pretty chill overall. Wash mostly being put upon.]
[Then Doc being super helpful and Wash being just kind of a dick.]
[This actually starts really cute with young Dusk hanging with family, talking not!Marvel and gosh, his name is David, so weird that it's normal after so many memories where he doesn't get his name at all. Then it takes a sharp turn when he nearly blinds another kid by putting his face through a mirror.]
[Then there's this. And maybe it explains pretty well why Dusk is The Way He Is. Seeing your planet burn at a young age would do that.]
