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!]]

. . . I wasn't going to judge you that much if you took the whole thing.

[ she's a lying liar that lies but is doing so rather smoothly that it's hard to tell ]

[malignstar]

... you're not going to yell at me?

[dereban]

I'm not your mom or sister, so no? Why would I?

[malignstar]

[ He shrugs. ]

Everyone else does.

[dereban]

Well, I'm not a part of that 'everyone', then.

[malignstar]

[ He looks utterly baffled by this and glances at the candy still in his hands. ]


... so I can keep it then?

[dereban]

You can but you probably should be careful with them. . . since they're not normal chocolates.

[malignstar]

Not normal? Is somethin' wrong with 'em?

[dereban]

They have weird effects, from what I heard.

[malignstar]

What kinda weird effects?

[dereban]

I don't know all of them, buuuut. . . there's apparently a sexswap thing one of them?

[malignstar]

What's that?

[dereban]

Uh. . . when a guy turns into a girl or vice versa.

[malignstar]

But that can't happen.

[dereban]

Normally, no. But that's what I heard.

[malignstar]

Maybe someone's messin' with you.

[dereban]

If someone was messing with me, I'd know.

[ because this is a person with MAJOR trust issues. ]

[malignstar]

How?

[dereban]

I'm a psychic, after all.

[ NOW she's trolling him. . . ]

[malignstar]

No you're not.

[dereban]

And how do you know?

[malignstar]

That's not real, that's why.

[dereban]

[ ahhh, so it's this kind of kid

hm. ]

And do you have any proof that it isn't real?

[malignstar]

It's not.

[dereban]

[ oooooof course. ]

Well, if you can't prove it with anything besides saying it, then that's no proof at all.
