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!]]

[ Swallowing carefully... ]

... are you a human? Or a were... squirrel?
thunderbeast: (Hey over there)

[personal profile] thunderbeast 2019-12-16 05:21 am (UTC)(link)
I wasn't a squirrel until about five minutes ago, so...

[ Just shrugs. ]

I assume I'm human. I don't remember anything otherwise.

I don't really remember anything, actually.
malignstar: (but why)

[personal profile] malignstar 2019-12-16 05:30 am (UTC)(link)
I don't remember anything either...

[ Pauses ]

Have you heard of Europe?
thunderbeast: (Just add water)

[personal profile] thunderbeast 2019-12-16 05:51 am (UTC)(link)
Uh...no.

Sorry. Did you just get here today too?
malignstar: (are you still there)

[personal profile] malignstar 2019-12-16 05:56 am (UTC)(link)
Aw man.

[ Looks more put out than disappointed ]

Yeah...
thunderbeast: (yeah I suppose so)

[personal profile] thunderbeast 2019-12-16 06:08 am (UTC)(link)
Sorry. Sounds like today is just going to be rough all over with a bunch of new people who are confused. Hopefully you can get some answers. Do you remember your name at least?

[ Shakes head ]

Why're there so many new people?
thunderbeast: (Dude no)

[personal profile] thunderbeast 2019-12-16 05:45 pm (UTC)(link)
I have no idea. I guess I'd need to find someone who has been here longer to figure that out.

[ But still. Child in this place is concerning. ]

What carriage did you come from?

[ Is there someone there that can take care of you? ]
malignstar: (hearts that have no scars to show)

[personal profile] malignstar 2019-12-17 01:58 am (UTC)(link)
Carriage? What's a carriage?
thunderbeast: (Yeah yeah so funny)

[personal profile] thunderbeast 2019-12-18 04:54 am (UTC)(link)
It's what they call the building you woke up in today.
malignstar: https://www.plurk.com/sakurapetal (tried to chase after mysefl)

[personal profile] malignstar 2019-12-19 03:15 am (UTC)(link)
I didn't wake up in any building.
thunderbeast: (pic#8491692)

[personal profile] thunderbeast 2019-12-19 06:59 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh.

[Weird.]

What do you remember last?
malignstar: http://zeecosh.tumblr.com/commissions (the one the battles always choose)

[personal profile] malignstar 2019-12-20 12:10 am (UTC)(link)
I was in trouble.
thunderbeast: (Just add water)

[personal profile] thunderbeast 2019-12-22 12:37 am (UTC)(link)
Here? Or somewhere else?
malignstar: http://atelier-aria.tumblr.com/ (clutching my cure)

[personal profile] malignstar 2019-12-22 01:42 am (UTC)(link)
Somewhere else. I think.
thunderbeast: (What are you doing over there?)

[personal profile] thunderbeast 2019-12-22 05:15 pm (UTC)(link)
But you aren't sure.

[ Child alone on train is very upsetting.]

Why don't you stay with me until we sort everything out.
thunderbeast: (We should talk about this)

[personal profile] thunderbeast 2019-12-24 08:32 am (UTC)(link)
Not everyone can be trusted. You might need someone to watch you.
malignstar: (hide your face)

[personal profile] malignstar 2019-12-24 05:14 pm (UTC)(link)
I can take care of myself.
thunderbeast: (Dude no)

[personal profile] thunderbeast 2019-12-24 09:06 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Isn't that what all kids say? ]

I don't doubt that.

[ He does. ]

Maybe we could find something to do in the meantime. What do you enjoy?
malignstar: http://zeecosh.tumblr.com/commissions (i realize that i'm the one confused)

[personal profile] malignstar 2019-12-24 09:54 pm (UTC)(link)
... Reading. I like the exciting books.
thunderbeast: (color Hak)

[personal profile] thunderbeast 2019-12-28 02:55 am (UTC)(link)
What do you mean by 'exciting' books?
malignstar: https://www.plurk.com/sakurapetal (shimmer and shine)

[personal profile] malignstar 2019-12-28 03:24 am (UTC)(link)
Books with lots of action.
malignstar: (hearts that have no scars to show)

[personal profile] malignstar 2019-12-28 02:21 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah. The others are boring.
