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!]]

....I'm afraid you have the advantage of me though.
no subject
Oh! D-don't worry about it. Um. Well... my name is Towa Herschel. I'm the instructor of Class IX at Thors' branch campus. It's um... good to meet you, I guess...
no subject
It's nice to meet you Towa. Randy's also here, and he does remember things. I'm sorry to disappoint you right now, but I look forward to getting to know you again, if you don't mind putting up with me.
no subject
Of course I don't mind. Really, please don't worry about it. I'm just happy to see you. So I'm not "putting up with" anything.
no subject
Ah, but welcome. Have you been shown around yet?

[But he'll start leading her on the tour. Starting with showing how the train looks normal sized from outside despite being absolutely massive inside, and going around each car, lounge, team cars, medical car, the garden, the library, and the gym.]
no subject
[She’s still got a healthy amount of skepticism but— so far, things don’t seem to be too bad.]

[As a survivor, she can't help but carry a certain amount of guilt with her.]
no subject
Pitting people against each other... Sometimes trials do that here, but that's never the actual purpose, or it's not supposed to be.
I'm sorry that you went through something like that.
no subject
Well, I won’t say it wasn’t difficult— but it is in the past. And I like to think I got a little stronger because of it.
[Mentally more than physically, probably— as much as she’d have appreciated the opposite.]
no subject
The main goal is to bond with everyone, after all.
no subject
Bonding with everyone... I do like the sound of that a lot more.
no subject
I'm glad to hear it. Hopefully you won't need to prove it any time soon though.
no subject
Preferably not until I can get back one of my weapons at least.

[bond]x2
I promise I'll help.
no subject
...why am I not surprised that you'd make a promise like that for a complete stranger.
[Still... it makes her really happy.]
Looks like I'm in your debt again. Hopefully I'll be able to return the favor though.
