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!]]

Oh no, we all should have absolutely known better.

So it is common.

[ sighs a little melodramatically ]

That's. . . unfortunate?

They're sent to us with good intentions. These kind of things seem to be appropriate for celebrations for Cardamom's people.

'Good intentions', huh. . .

[ she only has dealt with things like this with the opposite in mind. ]

But you'll have to explain to me that second half.

Did you read the information on your phone? Cardamom is the prince.

I didn't want to touch anything weird just yet in case I fucked something up. . .

[ weird phones could be cursed??? she doesn't trust anything ] But okay, got it, duly noted. Guess I'll actually have to check all the information out later.

Oh, it's important to keep your phone on you whenever possible. If you get lost or something happens, that's how Cardamom and the knights can track us.

[ hooooo boy.

tracking devices. she sure doesn't have fond memories of those either! ]

Can the phones get destroyed by any means?

[ they're not like, somehow weird, is what she's asking. ]

Of course, they’re still only phones. They’ll be replaced if they’re lost.

[personal profile] dereban 2019-12-22 05:23 pm (UTC)(link)
Right. I'm surprised that they would replace them, though. . .
bowtiedbones: (o2)

[personal profile] bowtiedbones 2019-12-22 06:07 pm (UTC)(link)
Why wouldn’t they? We need them.

It just seems like it's a lot to replace a half-way decent phone, you know? I mean. . .I'm used to having to pay for it if I have to replace it.

They're only damaged in extreme circumstances. Any expense is worth enabling us to communicate with each other and manage our sparks.

I see. Well, I guess that's not too bad, then.
