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:]
WELCOME NEW HEROES

[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!]]

...Pleasant.

[He wants to put his face on him but he's too in public for that kind of thing!]

[To ginger! And after a customary and very required petting of the dog, they'll go up to Rufus' room, where he can faceplant into Randy's...

...shoulder.]

There.
crimeson: (just by your left brain)

[personal profile] crimeson 2019-12-15 02:57 pm (UTC)(link)

Nice and private.

[He is embarrassed to be known as embarrassed, honestly.]

...Pet them.
crimeson: (i'm sorry i bring you down)

[personal profile] crimeson 2019-12-15 03:07 pm (UTC)(link)

[Okay he's satisfied now. And since they're alone he can melt into it without restraint.]
crimeson: (just by the side of the tin man)

[personal profile] crimeson 2019-12-15 09:29 pm (UTC)(link)

[his tail is wagging and there's nothing he can do to stop it]

Hmm... Are you ready to greet more unfortunate souls?

[Newbies are here and Rufus hasn't met any yet but HE KNOWS THEY'RE HERE]
crimeson: (you'll take the west train)

[personal profile] crimeson 2019-12-16 10:16 pm (UTC)(link)

[hffff tail wiggle]

You have to do it, but you don't have to be ready.
crimeson: (just by your left brain)

[personal profile] crimeson 2019-12-27 10:09 am (UTC)(link)
[sooooft, scritches the base of it.]

Better to be ready than not, right? I don't wanna be responsible for a crappy introduction.
