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!]]

[Alright Towa-- think fast! You don't want to scare the poor kid.]

Oh-- so you can see me, tiny human?

[ Felix puts both hands firmly on his hips ]

I'm not tiny!

[ Then he looks slightly more wary, since he just mouthed off at a werefox. ]

... 'm 10.

Hmmhmmhmm... so you are.

Not many of your kind can see us. They say that those who do are born under a blessed star. Tell me young man-- what blessing do you seek? What is it that you want most?

[ There's no way he was born under any sort of special star. ]

Blessin'? You mean like a wish?

That's right. But you can only make one.

It'll be our secret-- and I'll do everything in my power to make it come true.

[ Hmmmm... ]

Okay, Miss Werefox, tell me where Mira is. I want to see her. I don't want her to worry.

[Aww, that's so sweet--]

I see. Is she someone special to you?

[ Nods ]

We're always together. So can you find her?

First, why don't you tell me a bit about her. The more I know, the easier it will be to search.

[ That would be super easy if he could remember anything. Which for some reason HE CAN'T! ]

Um, she doesn't like it when I fight. She worries about me a lot. She's afraid we'll be split apart for good—Why can't I remember anything else?

[ He grips at his hair and shakes his head, as if hoping to jar the memories back into place. ]
