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!]]

no subject
Quite literally now. I told you not to eat them. But--NO. Now look at you.
[ He can't leave her alone like this...]
no subject
[ 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 ]
no subject
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.]
no subject
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. ]
no subject
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. ]
no subject
She stops and looks over her shoulder, hesitating at the door. ]
no subject
This tail is really too soft and fluffy, I have a hard time getting around with it. It knocks things over.
no subject
[ 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... ]
no subject
He just pretends he doesn't notice her, in hopes that she'll come closer. ]
no subject
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). ]
no subject
It's really soft. I don't know how long it will last but if you want to touch it you can.
no subject
no subject
Careful.
[ The last thing he wants is this kid slipping and falling on the floor from running too fast. ]
no subject
So fluffy....
no subject
Very fluffy. Don't get lost in it.
no subject
it's too late. she's already got her cheek smashed up against that velvety fur and is rubbing her face against it. ]
Fluffy....
no subject
I guess you're enjoying it?
[AAAAND suddenly the ears and tail are gone.]
no subject
until it suddenly disappears from between her hands.
she makes a small quavering noise and it's obvious from the way her eyes begin to shine and her lower lip quivers--she's on the verge of tears. ]
no subject
He sighs. He’s apparently a pushover, good to note for his future reference. ]
Should we see if we can find another silver one? That’s what I ate.
no subject
no subject
[ He kneels down and gives her his back to climb. ]
Do you want to see if we can find another silver one?
