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!]]

[ He gestures to the nearby lockers. ]
no subject
So that's like the money here? Do I need a job or something?
[ Bond ]
[ He goes over to ruffle Kyou's hair. ]
One of 'em's "physical affection."
re: [ Bond ]
He's also a black belt in Karate. Totally blocking that attempt even though he doesn't quite know how he did it.
Before losing his balance and falling on his butt in an effort to get away.]
Don't just touch a guy without permission!
no subject
Damn, you've got good reflexes. You got martial arts training or something?
[ He shakes his head, still amused. ]
But alright, I get it. No more touching.
no subject
I...I don’t know. I can’t really remember anything.
no subject
You're not the first guy to wake up here with amnesia. Fortunately for you, I've got good news-- it's not a permanent condition. You can recover 'em.
[ He pauses, then adds-- ]
Buuuut it is a slow process.
no subject
[No idea why he thinks that. It just sounds right. ]
no subject
[ He holds up a finger. ]
Every five hundred or so of 'em, you'll get a token. One gets you a memory back but it plays on a screen in the lobby.
[ He adds a second finger. ]
Two gets 'em in the privacy of your own head, but it'll take longer to get 'em all back that way.
no subject
They gotta go that public with everything?
[ That's more than a little terrifying. ]

[ Crow tucks his hands behind his head as he talks. ]
It's pretty much just "pick your poison" with your choices here. Deciding what's more important to you-- remembering as fast as possible or your privacy?
