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!]]

Nothing, nothing! Forget I said anything--

[She waves her hand.

It's definitely something.]

...You're really weird, lady.

That’s Ms. Herschel to you.

[...]

Sorry. I’m still getting used to a lot of things. I guess I was more on edge than I realized. But seeing you helped.

Me? What'd I do?

Oh... you just... remind me of someone.

Someone I haven't seen in a very long time.

[personal profile] bad_crowmance 2019-12-16 01:16 am (UTC)(link)
Someone cool I hope!

Heehee... yes, someone very cool.

Back in school, we put on a rock concert together. And he used to help the engineering club with their tests on it's orbal motorcycle.

[ Hilariously, those are the two real things he remembers about Towa when he's regular-sized. ]

A rock concert?! I've heard of those! And what's a motorcycle!

[ The name alone sounds cool beyond words. ]

[Of course they are.]

Well... It's like an orbal car on two wheels that you ride kind of like a horse. And it goes really fast.

[personal profile] bad_crowmance 2019-12-16 01:52 am (UTC)(link)
Whoa.... I want one too!

Heehee. Well... the Reinford Company is producing them now. So I'm sure you'll be able to get one.

They're from Erebonia, right? I'll ask my grandpa about it!
