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!]]

Pretty sure we are celebrating the people who didn't stupidly eat candy that was just sitting around taunting us.

[ Yo, he's strangely lured to this complete stranger and doesn't know why but here he is, looking over your shoulder. He's got some adorable squirrel ears and fluffy tail just right for petting. ]

They taste good but have some pretty mean side effects.
dragonheartedgirl: (praise me)

[personal profile] dragonheartedgirl 2019-12-17 03:25 am (UTC)(link)
[ she turns around

and


EARS.

FLUFFY EARS AND TAIL.

WANT. TOUCH. EARS.

in fact, she's too busy curling her fingers into tight little fists to keep herself from reaching out to instantly pet them to really catch onto what he's saying. or for that matter to really be paying attention to who she's talking to--not that she'd recognize him either way. ]

I'm sorry, what was that?
thunderbeast: (Who do I need to punch?)

[personal profile] thunderbeast 2019-12-18 04:56 am (UTC)(link)
[Dude. Stop staring at his ears.]

Don't eat the candies.
dragonheartedgirl: (mrrrrrr)

[personal profile] dragonheartedgirl 2019-12-18 05:21 am (UTC)(link)
[ Well maybe YOU should stop having such cute EARS. And also letting all the small children touch them.

She also takes issue with that tone. ]

You're not the boss of me.

[ would she eat an obviously suspicious piece of candy JUST to spite the guy who's giving her such a cold look?



her hand is edging toward one of the piles. ]
thunderbeast: (Dude no)

[personal profile] thunderbeast 2019-12-18 10:22 pm (UTC)(link)
Obviously, since I don't even know you.

[ She's actually going to do it. All while maintaining eye contact with him like some child]

If I was you'd know if I told you not to eat something, you shouldn't eat it.
dragonheartedgirl: credit @dorkwithamask (smile jiiiiiiiii)

[personal profile] dragonheartedgirl 2019-12-19 08:15 am (UTC)(link)
[ DAMN RIGHT she is!!! She glowers back, not to be Out-Glowered!! ]

Even if you were I still wouldn't listen to you.

[ she tears open the package of chocolate and pops the tasty morsel into her mouth. TAKE THAT, GIANT STRANGER with your cute fluffy ears you're so stingy with... ]
thunderbeast: (Are you fing kidding me?)

[personal profile] thunderbeast 2019-12-19 03:05 pm (UTC)(link)
[ He has no doubt that she is 100% correct with her assessment after literally knowing her for mere seconds.

Especially after she stubbornly eats one. Maybe he should have been more explicit in why she shouldn’t eat them. ]

You’re a stubborn child.

[ Cute, but stubborn. He should walk away but curiosity keeps him there. Even if just to tell her ‘I told you so.’

Okay maybe she’s not the only child here.]

[ Oh, she's definitely not the only child here. After all, even excluding him--there are children running around all over the train today.

And... well... here's one more: that cute young lady just got an awful lot younger. ]

...

[personal profile] dragonheartedgirl 2019-12-20 10:20 am (UTC)(link)
... Am not!

[ quoth the stubborn child ]
thunderbeast: (Hak's not having any of your shit)

[personal profile] thunderbeast 2019-12-22 04:48 pm (UTC)(link)
[ WELP. At least he now knows what the blue ones do. ]

Quite literally now. I told you not to eat them. But--NO. Now look at you.

[ He can't leave her alone like this...]

[personal profile] dragonheartedgirl 2019-12-23 09:20 am (UTC)(link)
No!

[ it's unclear, what, exactly, she's saying no to at this point but ]

Go 'way!

[ aaannd she starts trying to take off in the opposite direction

as willful children do ]

[What did he just sign himself up for?]

Where are you going? I'm not going to let you just run off.

[Sure, she's running but there's no way he'll lose her in the process. He's got to be faster than her.]

[personal profile] dragonheartedgirl 2019-12-25 02:43 am (UTC)(link)
[ He most definitely is, but

she is a little kid right now and doesn't understand that he is much bigger and faster than her and is currently under the impression she can get away. So she gonna go as fast and as far as her tiny little girl legs can carry her. ]
thunderbeast: (pic#8491805)

[personal profile] thunderbeast 2019-12-25 06:59 am (UTC)(link)
[ There’s just one problem with the idea of chasing her, he doesn’t want her to be afraid of him and run from him in fear. So he had to figure out how to convince her to stay. A task that was easier said than done, he was certain. ]

I thought you would be old enough to take care of me until I lost my tail again. I guess you’re just a little kid though.

[ She’d have to want to come back. Hopefully she was proud and stubborn enough to fall for his trap. ]

[personal profile] dragonheartedgirl 2019-12-27 08:00 am (UTC)(link)
[ Wait, what?

She stops and looks over her shoulder, hesitating at the door. ]
thunderbeast: (Haha...you don't say...)

[personal profile] thunderbeast 2019-12-28 02:59 am (UTC)(link)
[ It's like hooking a fish on a line--if he could remember that was how to do it. ]

This tail is really too soft and fluffy, I have a hard time getting around with it. It knocks things over.

[personal profile] dragonheartedgirl 2019-12-28 05:04 am (UTC)(link)
...

[ it is... very big and very fluffy. now that she's looking at it--she wants nothing more than to go bury her face against it.

she edges forward a little bit--but positions herself behind a table leg still out of reach. the fish might be on the hook, so to speak, but he still has to succeed at reeling it in... ]
thunderbeast: (I don't just spar with weapons)

[personal profile] thunderbeast 2019-12-29 12:06 am (UTC)(link)
[ Is it creepy to let a kid who he knew was just a teenage girl a few moments ago-stroke his tail? Probably, but for some reason it wasn't too bothersome to him.

He just pretends he doesn't notice her, in hopes that she'll come closer. ]
Edited 2019-12-29 00:08 (UTC)

[personal profile] dragonheartedgirl 2019-12-29 08:56 am (UTC)(link)
[ Listen she clearly wanted to touch it before too. It's probably fine. And if not, well, you work with what you've got.

She edges forward a little, trying to find a way to circle around to touch his tail without him seeing (and apparently feeling? it's an extremely flawed plan). ]
thunderbeast: (Is this a smirk or smile?)

[personal profile] thunderbeast 2019-12-29 10:44 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Flawed indeed, but he's watching with amusement as she tries to sneak up on him. After a moment he finally gives her an out. ]

It's really soft. I don't know how long it will last but if you want to touch it you can.

[personal profile] dragonheartedgirl 2019-12-31 12:22 am (UTC)(link)
[ When he's smiling, he actually doesn't seem so bad. Also--she really wants to touch the fluffy tail before it disappears or he changes his mind. She's coming over as fast as her tiny legs can carry her. ]
thunderbeast: (What do you think?)

[personal profile] thunderbeast 2019-12-31 04:31 am (UTC)(link)
[ He holds back his laughter, fearing she might take off or change her mind if she thinks he's laughing at her. But he can see her running as fast as she possibly can at him on her tiny little legs. ]

Careful.

[ The last thing he wants is this kid slipping and falling on the floor from running too fast. ]

[personal profile] dragonheartedgirl 2019-12-31 11:45 pm (UTC)(link)
[ she doesn't need to be careful! she's fine!! is what she'd say if she wasn't touching his tail and hadn't promptly forgotten her indignation. she audibly gasps as her tiny fingers disappear into his thick, fluffy fur. ]

So fluffy....
thunderbeast: (It just makes your heart break)

[personal profile] thunderbeast 2020-01-01 02:27 am (UTC)(link)
[ He smiles, glad she's enjoying herself even if for a little bit. A brat her older self might be, but she was a cute kid. ]

Very fluffy. Don't get lost in it.

[personal profile] dragonheartedgirl 2020-01-01 07:24 am (UTC)(link)
[ once a brat, always a brat

it's too late. she's already got her cheek smashed up against that velvety fur and is rubbing her face against it. ]

Fluffy....
