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!]]

[ pokes her head out of her room, tousle-haired and sleepy-eyed, and … oh ]
Say please.
no subject
no subject
[ sir please ]
Then I'm going back to bed.
no subject
no subject
[ spoilers her room is way cooler than his ]
It's time to rest when I've barely slept two hours a night for a week. [ Grumble! ] Aside from work on bonds, there s not much we can do right now ... not unless they call another trial.
My name's Faito, by the way.
no subject
And of course he will follow, why would he not?]
Faito of . . . Ginger was it? Though we are all united on one side, it seems they deemed it necessary to split us apart further into these smaller sects. I do not understand their intent. Well, it is unnecessary to dwell on that matter when there is more important things to address.
What is causing your lack of sleep? Have the battles of war been truly this extreme that you have not been able to find a chance to rest?
no subject
[ himself ]
[ so very, very himself ]
[ It's kind of (very) obnoxious when she's So Tired™ … but as he goes on she can't help realising that maybe she's being a little uncharitable. His heart seems? To be in the right place? So she takes a deep breath and lets it out slowly, and does not attempt to teleport him to the other side of the team carriage. ]
Ginger, yeah. We're teammates, so, uhm, I look forward to working with you.
[ The whole room is not unlike an adult jungle gym, with the walls and 14' ceilings covered in rock climbing courses of varying difficulties, save the areas instead taken up by large, sunny windows, and one corner. In that corner, the height of the room leaves space for a spacious loft of bookshelves and cozy leather furniture, as well as a coffee table made of a solid polished stone, like a giant river rock. The loft is accessible only via climbing -- either the nearby rock walls or the fireman's pole for quick descent. Below the loft is a double-bed in a cozy sleeping nook. ]
Wanna come up to the loft with me? [ Gestures! ] It's not a bad place to sit and talk.
no subject
I can accept your request. So be it!
[He's gonna float himself up to the loft, tyvm. But he pauses mid-float.]
Do you need assistance?
no subject
[ huh ]
No, it's okay! But thanks for the offer. [ She figures the climb might wake her up a bit. ]
[ Up she goes, scamper scamper. ]
no subject
[Finding a comfortable place to sit, cross legged, leaning against a hand.]
Faito of Ginger, although they left very little of our memories, who are you?
no subject
Who am I? Uhm, well, I was a high school student in Japan, until I ended up in a place just like this. [ scratches her cheek. ] I'm a few years older than most of my memories ...
no subject
I mean, who are you? I am someone without memories but I can tell that I am someone with great purpose. I have utmost confidence in myself and I am righteous in what I do. I do not know why, but I am sure of this much.
You are a student so are you someone who seeks knowledge?
no subject
I'm ... I'm a regular person who's doing her best to help? Nothing special.
no subject
no subject
Hey! There's nothing wrong with being a regular person!
