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!]]

[She's gotten used to seeing familiar faces, strange as it seemed at first. As the last one she would have expected, that somehow makes him the most normal to see.]

Ah-- Governor General. It's a pleasure to see you again.

[Or a heart attack waiting to happen. Definitely one of those.]

[Ah. That title brings a lot of complicated feelings at this point, but Rufus isn't inclined to show them, so he just waves it off.]

An irrelevant title in our situation. Rufus is more than acceptable. I'm glad to see you're in good health, of course.

Sorry, I'll try to remember that. However... in that case, just Towa is fine. I've never been one for formalities myself.

[But then again, she's just a simple teacher.]

Very well.

[He pauses a moment, tail swishing as he thinks, then continues.]

...On the note of our current situation, as much as I enjoy pitting myself against the talents of you and yours, you'll be reassured to know that we are all on the same side.

I'm glad to hear that, Rufus.

[She won't deny it, that feels weird for someone like her to address him so casually.]

In situations like these, I find it works much better when individuals work together. I don't want to repeat that previous experience.

Nor do any of us, I think. Those who remember, in any case. Of course, I can't promise I won't do what I must should we ever be put at odds, but I don't intend to go looking for trouble.
