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!]]

[ Embarrassed laughter. She lifts her free hand up to the back of her head. ]
I'm so overwhelmed with everything today, that I guess something cute like kitties is the least of my worries. I still can't wrap my head around this place, but it's the only reality I know right now, so... I just have to take things as they come.
no subject
[ Most of the people he's met have been here for awhile already. ]
Can't remember anything either?
no subject
[ She looks fairly disappointed about that fact. ]
I can't seem to remember anything from home, not even my name. My team, however, helped me come up with a new one for in the meantime.
[ And she'll treasure it. ]
I'm going by Chiharu at the moment.
[ She bows politely. ]
It looks like we have more in common than just kitty ears. We're both freshmen today.
no subject
It fits, I guess. I don't know.
[HE DOESN'T LIKE IT FOR SOME REASON.]
Yes, we're both new. Which is why we are the stupid ones eating the chocolate we should not be touching.

[ No, there's something off about this whole thing.]
No, that's not it. Is it? You are--aren't you?
1/2
I'm a little scared about everything else... I'm not really a hero, I don't think. I don't actually want to fight-- I mean I would try to defend myself of course. But I don't think I have any kind of hidden abilities and I heard about some of the trials.
[ . . . Truthfully, that's enough to make her legs want to shake. Harming other units...? Dying...? ]
I don't want to hurt anybody...
2/2
So I think about this particular thing... if we just focus on something fun... if we can make happy memories at the beginning of it all, that... would be a good thing.
[ It will help see them through the bad... ]
no subject
I would hope no one would purposely want to hurt anyone else. It's natural to be scared.
I think you have the right idea though. If you like the cat ears, eat as many as you want if it makes you happy.
[TOTALLY NOT ADMITTING THEY ARE CUTE ON HER.]
no subject
Um... I just realized--! But I haven't gotten your own name yet. How do you prefer to be called?
