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!]]

[says an extremely beefy redheaded lady who then
pauses
and then, just,
no subject
Is that... are you... I mean. I know you, right?
[Just some healthy caution.]
no subject
[scratches the back of his head then shrugs.]
It's funny. I was pretty sure I couldn't possibly get embarrassed about this, but I stand corrected! Welcome to the train, Towa. There's a lot going on right now, but it's the fun kind.
no subject
That's... what I thought. [...] As a friend I'm happy for you, but as a woman I don't really know how to feel about this...
[Even Randy makes a better woman than she does.]
no subject
It's super temporary. I didn't even know it was gonna happen, but it's not bad. Kind of an interesting change of pace. Uh, on that note, careful about the chocolates.
no subject
[Well it could definitely be worse. It doesn't seem harmful anyway.]
Heehee. Well. I'm glad you're having fun.
no subject
... Yeah. This party's been a cute one. Welcome, by the way.
no subject
[Of course she would have managed but... it is nice to have at least one person who still knows her.]
no subject
Yeah, Rean not remembering me was bad enough, can't imagine it's easier for you with Crow on top of that. Rufus remembers everything, but that's a whole 'nother matter.
[reaches out to pat her shoulder!]
I've got you, don't worry.
no subject
[The shoulder pat gets a small smile out of her.]
I’m sure we can handle it though.
no subject
You've been in this kind of mess before?
no subject
[Because why wouldn't they both be on a train?]
no subject
no subject
McBurn, the Almighty Conflagration.
no subject
no subject
Actually, I probably caused him more trouble than the other way around. He did teach me how to use a sword though.
[Isn't that just one hell of a sight to imagine.]
no subject
[whistles!!]
Guess even the Almighty Conflagration isn't immune to our cute Towa. You should show me your sword skills sometime!
