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!]]

People here would help.

I am sometimes a snake, yes. However right now I am a person.
voreaciously: (101)

...Would they?

[she sounds extremely doubtful and yet conflicted about it. It's not something she wants to disbelieve but...

no, he must be mistaken. Why would any of these people help her? She knows better.

She looks back up again, scrutinising.]

...I guess you do look like a person right now and you feel like a person, but you still feel snakey too.

[DISTRUST!!

but he said you won't eat her...]

...You really...won't eat me? [she adds very quickly, very desperately.] I-I will be a good girl if you do not change your mind. Please.

[it's not that she forgets to have manners, she's still just very scared and unsure of the prospect]
comingstorm: (Save that for the black and white)

[personal profile] comingstorm 2019-12-15 10:50 pm (UTC)(link)
They would.

You are correct to be wary. When I am a snake I would certainly eat you.

However, you also belong to me, so I would rather you avoid getting eaten. It would be annoying to eat someone who is mine.

Now run along and go do whatever it is children do. I'm not good with them. Go find someone better with little kids to bother.

[she makes a frightened noise at the first part.]

STOP SCARING HER SOUSEI JESUS, but she rubs her arm a little when he continues speaking. She does not want to argue, what if he gets mad and changes his mind? But she feels like she should say something.]

I can't be yours.

[she says this a bit matter-of-factly, in spite of her worries.]

I am Ma--Mother's. All hers.
comingstorm: (And a face that you lose)

[personal profile] comingstorm 2019-12-15 11:00 pm (UTC)(link)
No. Here, you are mine.

[personal profile] voreaciously 2019-12-15 11:03 pm (UTC)(link)
No, I have to be. She will get really, really mad!

[she sounds very scared again.]
comingstorm: (She stops my bones from wondering)

[personal profile] comingstorm 2019-12-15 11:06 pm (UTC)(link)
This is non-negotiable.

Didn't I also tell you to go away?

[personal profile] voreaciously 2019-12-15 11:08 pm (UTC)(link)
No! No, no, no! I do not want to make her mad.

[she is covering her ears and crouching and

hyper-ventilating.

Ice starts to form beneath her feet.]
comingstorm: (What I stand for oh)

[personal profile] comingstorm 2019-12-15 11:10 pm (UTC)(link)
[Picking her up by the scruff again.]

Stop that.

[personal profile] voreaciously 2019-12-15 11:14 pm (UTC)(link)
[she is radiating cold now and sounds very upset, very close to tears.]

Please don't say bad things!
comingstorm: (I try twice as hard and)

[personal profile] comingstorm 2019-12-15 11:18 pm (UTC)(link)
[Ugh this is why he doesn't like children. He starts moving, still holding her out at arm's length.]

[personal profile] voreaciously 2019-12-15 11:19 pm (UTC)(link)
[ice and water keep manifesting at random intervals and she curls up as best she can in his grip to shut the world out]
comingstorm: (What are we waiting for?)

[personal profile] comingstorm 2019-12-15 11:22 pm (UTC)(link)
[He dumps her on Dusk.]
