INTROS + MONTHLIES

Who: newbies + everyone
When: Day 56, late morning
Where: The Aurora and surrounding area

[Yet again this morning, you get an announcement on your Chain:
WELCOME NEW HEROES
Newbies are waking up in their rooms, in pyjamas or in nondescript team-coloured underwear. As usual they get the basic welcome message, as well as a prompt to view the IC guide.

When you're done welcoming them, or while you're at it, you'll notice that while clocks say it's late morning, the sun has still not risen. As it was on the first Star, the sky remains dark and empty and the air somewhat cold. Not cold enough for the frost you see on the windows, though...

From a distance, the frost looks like a typical wintery pattern of ice, beautiful and delicate. But on inspection it's not frost at all -- it's a sugary mold climbing up the sides of the train and, outside the immediate clearing, growing in thick fuzzy patches on the trees and bushes.

Touching or inhaling this mold will cause your skin to start to crystallize painfully into sugar. Physical affection will heal you, but it'll also give you a psychic link to the person you touched. For a few hours you can sense eachothers emotions, and in some cases even share thoughts or memories.

The mold will last for the remainder of the OOC month, but who knows what else tomorrow will bring!]
thunderbeast: (Hello there)

[ Okay, but why is your chain floating. ]

Accurate enough as far as I can tell. You're new here?

[ Last time he was the new one so he hasn't experienced this before. ]

[personal profile] shintaiprotagonist 2020-01-17 03:21 am (UTC)(link)
[that's a fair question]

Newly-awakened, at least.
thunderbeast: (Dude no)

[personal profile] thunderbeast 2020-01-17 04:37 am (UTC)(link)
Either you are or you aren't. Unless there is something I don't know...
shintaiprotagonist: (neutral fondness)

[personal profile] shintaiprotagonist 2020-01-17 05:10 am (UTC)(link)
As I remember nothing from before I woke, I can say nothing definitive about that time.
thunderbeast: (Haha...you don't say...)

[personal profile] thunderbeast 2020-01-17 05:16 am (UTC)(link)
Ah. They stole your memories too. Sorry. That seems to happen pretty often around here.

[ It sucks. He's in the same boat. ]

I still don't even remember my real name. I had to pick a new one so I had something to go by.
shintaiprotagonist: (public smile)

If the messages are to be believed, you bear no fault for it.

[plucks his Chain out of the air and stands, tucking it away]

I suppose I'll have to do the same before long.
thunderbeast: (Just add water)

[personal profile] thunderbeast 2020-01-17 05:37 am (UTC)(link)
Only been here a very short time myself. So no. I just don't like seeing people in a situation I know sucks.

Well, Jasmine is very water oriented. So if you're looking for something, I'd recommend going in that direction.
shintaiprotagonist: (neutral fondness)

[personal profile] shintaiprotagonist 2020-01-17 05:42 am (UTC)(link)
Then I appreciate the sentiment.

I'll think on it. I presume that we aren't the only ones here?
thunderbeast: (What do you think?)

[personal profile] thunderbeast 2020-01-17 06:28 am (UTC)(link)
Six total now in Jasmine, including you. There are several other teams though. Six total of those as well.
shintaiprotagonist: (neutral fondness)

[personal profile] shintaiprotagonist 2020-01-17 06:29 am (UTC)(link)
And each of those has six as well?
thunderbeast: (Sarcasm becomes me)

[personal profile] thunderbeast 2020-01-17 06:34 am (UTC)(link)
No, each carriage looks to house seven of us. I don't think any of them are full though. There used to be another team too...that isn't here any longer.
shintaiprotagonist: (imperial mien)

[personal profile] shintaiprotagonist 2020-01-17 06:35 am (UTC)(link)
And what happened to them?
thunderbeast: (Can I kick them all to get them off you?)

[personal profile] thunderbeast 2020-01-17 06:39 am (UTC)(link)
They just disappeared and their carriage did too. A girl from licorice was one of those people. She left and then came back to a new team days later.
shintaiprotagonist: (neutral fondness)

And what was the word of this...Star Prince, on the matter? Were you told?
thunderbeast: (Default)

[personal profile] thunderbeast 2020-01-21 06:04 am (UTC)(link)
I haven't confirmed everything I've heard or read about him. Others seem to take it at face value though.
thunderbeast: (We should talk about this)

[personal profile] thunderbeast 2020-01-21 06:16 am (UTC)(link)
It will take some getting used to. Work on getting your memories back, it might make things easier.

[ Advice he needs to take himself as he hasn't done that yet. ]
shintaiprotagonist: (sovereignty)

[personal profile] shintaiprotagonist 2020-01-21 06:18 am (UTC)(link)
I'll take that advice under consideration.
