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!]]

I assume you are one of those who choose to study magic in order to push your capabilities to their limits?
There is a... demi-god here? [Another Asgardian? Or half-Asgardian? Someone who might know him? But he doesn't know of any half-Asgardians.] Well. I cannot promise my aid, but I shall give it all due consideration.
Do not count out others in a potential rebellion. They may not be capable on their own, but with the right motivation and guidance, even lesser beings can take down the powerful.
But we do need to know more. About what kind of man this Prince truly is, what else he he can do, what he is willing to do. Are you on good terms with any who have been here longer than your nine days?

That I did. That's the funny thing about this whole loss business. I can retain knowledge necessary to use skills. So spellwork I can remember, but not when or how I learned it.
Hmmm, not quite. Though I met the team itself. There is another god around and they're the ones I'm helping with a project. Having someone around who remembers things could help, especially with magic expertise.
I would be the half. I'm not sure what the deal actually is, but the magic that might be harmony magic is definitely not unicorn magic. It's been twice now I've tripped into doing something that's been a fun combination of powerful, unique by Equestrian Magic standards, and stupidly dangerous. [There is a very put upon look for that part.] But it's made wings pop up twice and I know it's possible for a pony who obtains unique magic to ascend to alicornhood. Which is an immortal of great magical power, traits of all three pony tribes, and a connection to a fundamental force of the world, AKA a god.
It's been both fascinating and extremely confusing.
Oh, I'm not discounting potential. I'm discounting terrible personalities. The train is full of people who do not have themselves together even beyond amnesia. It'd be easier to herd a group of cats.
And then there's the optimists...
I am. Really, the only people I've talked to who are newer are on this team and the dragon and I think someone on Ginger. But the Prince isn't around a lot. It's hard to get a read on a guy whose just never around.
