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!]]

No, no she's very small.

[personal profile] malignstar 2019-12-17 02:56 am (UTC)(link)
I want to see.

[personal profile] bowtiedbones 2019-12-17 05:00 am (UTC)(link)
One second, one second...

[finding younger Eliza's bag and getting out Lori's tupperware]
malignstar: (hearts that have no scars to show)

[personal profile] malignstar 2019-12-17 05:20 am (UTC)(link)
What's that for?
bowtiedbones: (o11)

[personal profile] bowtiedbones 2019-12-17 05:23 am (UTC)(link)
She sleeps inside of it.

[pops the lid off and tips the container for him to see the tiny bones nestled between the cotton balls]
malignstar: https://www.plurk.com/sakurapetal (is it better just to burn than fade away)

[personal profile] malignstar 2019-12-17 05:32 am (UTC)(link)
[ Trying to peer at the inside of the container and looking very confused ?_? ]

All I see is bones. Are they from something she ate?
bowtiedbones: (o8)

[personal profile] bowtiedbones 2019-12-17 06:12 am (UTC)(link)
She eats fruits and flowers, actually.

Lori, wake up.

[and the bones click together, reassembling into the shape of a tiny beaked dragon]

[ Felix yelps in surprise and jumps back a bit ]
bowtiedbones: (o14)

[personal profile] bowtiedbones 2019-12-17 07:44 pm (UTC)(link)
[Lori hops up to perch on the edge of the container, cocking her head to one side and then to other and staring at eliza. mother looks different?? somehow????]

Don't worry, she's not going to jump at you.
malignstar: (voice I never heard)

[personal profile] malignstar 2019-12-18 02:21 am (UTC)(link)
[ Slowly inching back... :x ]

She's a skeleton.
bowtiedbones: (o9)

[personal profile] bowtiedbones 2019-12-19 12:00 am (UTC)(link)
[letting Lori nibble on her finger]

Didn't you say you weren't scared of skeletons?

[personal profile] malignstar 2019-12-19 03:21 am (UTC)(link)
[ Sidling over to them ]

'm not.
bowtiedbones: (o11)

[personal profile] bowtiedbones 2019-12-21 12:48 am (UTC)(link)
Of course. Skeletons aren't anything to be scared of. Everyone has one.
malignstar: (hearts that have no scars to show)

[personal profile] malignstar 2019-12-21 02:02 am (UTC)(link)
Not on the outside though.

[ Tentatively holding out hand for Lori ]
bowtiedbones: (o9)

[personal profile] bowtiedbones 2019-12-21 02:18 am (UTC)(link)
She hasn't had outsides for a few hundred years now.

[lori stretches her bony neck out to very, VERY delicately nibble felix's hand. why do you also look different????]
malignstar: http://atelier-aria.tumblr.com/ (never be all right)

[personal profile] malignstar 2019-12-21 02:21 am (UTC)(link)
A hundred years? That's old!

[ Though he giggles a little at the nibbling ]

That tickles.
bowtiedbones: (o8)

[personal profile] bowtiedbones 2019-12-21 02:23 am (UTC)(link)
[lori seems to approve of that reaction and starts climbing over to his hand]

She's very old! I only summon old dragons.
malignstar: https://www.plurk.com/kabukimono (the slightest chance love may exist)

[personal profile] malignstar 2019-12-21 02:24 am (UTC)(link)
[ He laughs some more at her antics ]

Why only old ones?
bowtiedbones: (o6)

[personal profile] bowtiedbones 2019-12-21 02:25 am (UTC)(link)
Because they're the coolest ones.
bowtiedbones: (o11)

[personal profile] bowtiedbones 2019-12-21 03:00 am (UTC)(link)
Many of them are extinct in current times. By summoning them I can learn brand new things about them, so that makes them fun.
malignstar: http://zeecosh.tumblr.com/commissions (love that keeps burning)

[personal profile] malignstar 2019-12-21 03:05 am (UTC)(link)
Summoning them? Like with magic?
bowtiedbones: (o8)

[personal profile] bowtiedbones 2019-12-21 03:06 am (UTC)(link)
Exactly with magic!
malignstar: (just a good boy)

[personal profile] malignstar 2019-12-21 03:07 am (UTC)(link)
Can you teach me? I wanna summon dragons too!
bowtiedbones: (o9)

[personal profile] bowtiedbones 2019-12-21 03:08 am (UTC)(link)
I don't think we have enough time for that. I've been studying all my life.
