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:]
[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!]]

2/2
And I guess I need to do something about the name situation, too.
Re: 2/2
Its certainly possible. I had multiple memories by the end of my first day. Depends how much you like touching people and telling jokes probably.
[Going to turn to the food because needs to start plating it.]
How much did you read on the Chain? Phone thing?
As for names, Clover has a theme. Time and time related things. That's Sunset, I'm Dusk, we have Meridian, and Five, though that was by coincidence. We've had names like Noon, Dawn, Midnight, Twilight....
Re: 2/2
[ It's still difficult to believe, even though she realizes she's woken up in a strange place like this. ]
So the names are time-related... does that include days of the weak, months, and seasons, too...? Are they only English based?
Re: 2/2
Sure. Meridian is more related to time zones than anything. And they don't have to be.
I just end up naming a lot and I know mostly English.
Re: 2/2
I guess there's... Sunrise, Summer, Spring, Day, Night... Solstice...
[ Hmm ]
Ironically, Aurora actually means dawn, too, I think...
As for a Japanese name, maybe something like Miharu? Or Chiharu? With the kanji for spring in either one of them.
Re: 2/2
[Considers her.] Though you do seem like a Spring. So Miharu and Chiharu could work. That's....thousand spring...?
[Pause.]
[....huh.]
Re: 2/2
So you do actually know Japanese, Dusk-san?
Re: 2/2
I guess I was learning it more recently?
1/2
Actually, wait a minute...

Dusk-san!! Were not speaking Japanese!
[ Just. Noticing this. ]
no subject
Arrival on the train means we all get to speak a universal language.
Which helps when we got things like dragons and people with wings and horns and all sorts of planets.
Chances of all of us knowing the same language would be ridiculously low.
[And here is a plate of food.]
no subject
[ WOW--! To think it could change their very language!
OH-- She glances down to the food, though. ]
Um, thank you very much! It looks delicious.
no subject
Thanks. Hopefully the taste matches. [Picking up Sunset before she tries to steal food and going to get her food.]
no subject
She will get to pet the kitty later again, at least. ]
Wow--! It tastes just as good as it looks. You could be a master chef! Chef Dusk-san!
no subject
Nah, you just got lucky. Pretty good at potato dishes.
But at least everything I make is edible, so there's that.
