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!]]

[she jumps a little, clearly startled but she straightens. the goddess is speaking to her!]

Y-yes, Ma'am?
crimeson: (i'll take the west train)

[personal profile] voreaciously 2019-12-16 10:22 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh...

[well now that she's distracted from the beautiful amazon and forced to think of her situation, she looks crestfallen.]

U-um...well, I do not know where this is and I'm going to get in trouble because I'm not home....b-but I've never been on a train before so I want--would like to stay a bit, just a little bit, but my parents will get mad. I won't get to play for a month.

crimeson: (you're tired- you're fired)

[personal profile] crimeson 2019-12-17 07:21 pm (UTC)(link)
Hmmm. Well, how about I talk to your parents so they won't be mad?

[personal profile] voreaciously 2019-12-17 07:37 pm (UTC)(link)
...Will you?

[She looks cautiously hopeful there.]

Do you promise?

[she holds out her pinkie finger]
crimeson: (i'm sorry i bring you down)

[personal profile] crimeson 2019-12-17 07:47 pm (UTC)(link)
[kneels and links their pinkies together.]

I pinkie swear.

[she smiles hesitantly, and then very brightly!]

Okay, thanks--! Ah, I mean.

[she clears her throat in what she hopes is a Delicate and Ladylike manner before she lets go to curtsy.]

Thank you very much, ma'am, I am in your debt.
crimeson: (but i won't wait much longer)

[personal profile] crimeson 2019-12-17 07:59 pm (UTC)(link)
No problem, kiddo. I wouldn't want you to get in any trouble for stuff that's not your fault!

[personal profile] voreaciously 2019-12-18 02:42 am (UTC)(link)
[oh she sounds delighted!

and then confused as she ponders this.]

Oh...well, it might be my fault? If you're weak enough to let something bad happen to you, then it's your fault, isn't it?
