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!]]

The region of Midgard? Yes, I know of it. I have visited it on occasion. [Is this about that German city? Or just the myths?]

I believe you humans refer to it as Earth.
malignstar: (who can face this world alone)

[personal profile] malignstar 2019-12-16 04:14 am (UTC)(link)
Humans? Aren't you human?

[personal profile] bestbrotherever 2019-12-16 04:33 am (UTC)(link)
Of course not. I am a god.
malignstar: (voice I never heard)

[personal profile] malignstar 2019-12-16 04:37 am (UTC)(link)
A god? Like the one who punishes evil people?

[ He expected God to be... different... ]

That is more characteristic of my brother. I make fewer value judgments on those I punish.

[personal profile] malignstar 2019-12-17 01:32 am (UTC)(link)
That sounds more like a devil.
bestbrotherever: (feral grin)

[personal profile] bestbrotherever 2019-12-17 02:26 am (UTC)(link)
There are some who would call me that. They would be wrong, however, especially if they think I am the devil of their limited religion.
malignstar: http://atelier-aria.tumblr.com/ (have no options left again)

[personal profile] malignstar 2019-12-17 02:45 am (UTC)(link)
I didn't believe in that stuff before.

[ Now, he's not so sure... ]
bestbrotherever: (smirk)

[personal profile] bestbrotherever 2019-12-17 02:47 am (UTC)(link)
And now? Do you believe in gods? Or just the one god?
malignstar: (who can face this world alone)

[personal profile] malignstar 2019-12-17 02:55 am (UTC)(link)
Are you lyin' about being one?
bestbrotherever: (sneer)

[personal profile] bestbrotherever 2019-12-17 03:08 am (UTC)(link)
It is not recommended to accuse a god of lying about his status. Even the God of Lies.
malignstar: (hearts that have no scars to show)

[personal profile] malignstar 2019-12-17 03:31 am (UTC)(link)
But wouldn't a god of lies always lie?
bestbrotherever: (smirk)

[personal profile] bestbrotherever 2019-12-17 03:57 am (UTC)(link)
Only a fool would always lie. And a fool would never be the God of Lies.

[personal profile] malignstar 2019-12-17 04:05 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, that makes sense. I think.

I still don't believe what the adults say. But I dunno about you. You seem like everyone else.
bestbrotherever: (feral grin)

[personal profile] bestbrotherever 2019-12-18 03:22 am (UTC)(link)
[He grins in a way that's more about baring his teeth than showing mirth.]

And what do the adults say? Do I still seem like everyone else? [The second sentence comes from behind the boy, where another Loki- this time in his shiniest most impressive outfit complete with horns- has appeared.]

[personal profile] malignstar 2019-12-18 03:30 am (UTC)(link)
Whoa! You can make another you!
bestbrotherever: (smirk)

[personal profile] bestbrotherever 2019-12-18 03:38 am (UTC)(link)
As many as I wish. [And the boy is surrounded by Lokis. Though of course they're all illusions.]

I wish I could do that.
