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!]]

Monsters. . .

[ Well that-- maybe she will skip adventuring outside just yet. ]

Maybe they're not...all that bad?

[personal profile] marezydoats 2019-12-16 01:11 am (UTC)(link)
...They're monsters. I'd suggest you steer clear of them if you don't want to be torn apart.
notafruit: (Please don't fight)

[personal profile] notafruit 2019-12-16 01:37 am (UTC)(link)
I... I'll steer clear of the jungle...

[ That sounds incredibly unpleasant. ]
marezydoats: Manga; Neutral; Matter-of-fact (9823490)

[personal profile] marezydoats 2019-12-16 01:43 am (UTC)(link)
That's definitely for the best.

[ Don't go wandering into monster-filled jungles, Tohru! ]

Thank you for the concern and the warning. Miss....?

[ Rin was aware, of course, that there were people here who didn't remember their past. She hadn't expected to see anyone she knew however, so when she'd seen Tohru she hadn't thought... ]
marezydoats: Manga; Hand (My pain walks down a one way street)

Done.

[personal profile] marezydoats 2019-12-16 01:57 am (UTC)(link)
[ ....Well. That's probably for the best, anyway. ]

...Isuzu. My name is Sohma Isuzu.
notafruit: (I has cute chibi bow)

Re: Done.

[personal profile] notafruit 2019-12-16 05:35 am (UTC)(link)
[ She bows again...! ]

It's a pleasure, Sohma-san.

Uhm... I would like to introduce myself, but we're still debating on a name. There are a few contenders, though!

Re: Done.

[personal profile] marezydoats 2019-12-16 05:38 am (UTC)(link)
[ She would have said not to bother with the family name, but well. As far as she knows she's the only Sohma on board. ]

...Very well. What names are you thinking of?
notafruit: (But ACTUALLY--!)

[personal profile] notafruit 2019-12-16 05:44 am (UTC)(link)
There were a number of options, but Dusk-san said he thought something involving spring would suit me best. So it's down to Miharu or Chiharu! With 'Haru' for short.

[ Rin knows she's not a good person

but

surely she doesn't deserve this?
]

.....What about Vernal?
notafruit: (1 + 1 = ???)

[personal profile] notafruit 2019-12-16 06:03 am (UTC)(link)
I will add it to the list of contenders! I'm sort of partial to Miharu and Chiharu by this point though. Chiharu has a double time reference too...
marezydoats: Manga; Neutral; Emo (If you said goodbye to me tonight)

[personal profile] marezydoats 2019-12-16 06:08 am (UTC)(link)
...It's your choice, of course.

[ She'll just die inside every time someone calls her Haru, it's fine. ]
notafruit: (Ooh ooh ooh!)

[personal profile] notafruit 2019-12-16 06:21 am (UTC)(link)
OH!

[ But maybe she thinks that by her rejecting it means that she thinks that she thinks it's a bad name? Oh no...! Convulted... ]

But I do think Vernal is a very unique name! That's not to say that I don't like it! I just hadn't considered it before!
marezydoats: Manga; Neutral (Is all it will take)

[personal profile] marezydoats 2019-12-16 07:02 am (UTC)(link)
[ Rin blinks for a moment, then shakes her head. ]

I won't be offended if you don't pick my choice.
notafruit: (Punishment timez GO!)

1/2

But you were incredibly kind to try helping me think up a suitable name, Sohma-san!
notafruit: (Ooh ooh ooh!)

2/2

[personal profile] notafruit 2019-12-20 09:47 pm (UTC)(link)
Actually, everyone I've come across in this place has been nothing but kind so far. Maybe that's what it takes for the definition of a hero? Though I think there must have been a mistake when it comes to me...
marezydoats: Manga; Neutral; Matter-of-fact (The darkness that you felt)

[personal profile] marezydoats 2019-12-21 09:47 pm (UTC)(link)
You hardly know yourself well enough yet to call it a mistake. ...That being said, I am not kind. Everything I've said so far is just practical.
notafruit: (Bright idea)

[personal profile] notafruit 2019-12-23 02:38 am (UTC)(link)
Oh! But maybe that's not the kind of thing a kind person would admit! I'm sure that you aren't giving yourself the credit you deserve.
