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!]

[....sweet pony Jesus.]

That's just unfair. I barely know how my powers work and now it's gonna be a constant 'did I do this on accident, or is it the train again?' [Which is a real specific problem for her, but it's ANNOYING.]

[Resting a hand on her shoulder in sympathy.]

That is the worst possibility when one is attempting to master one's own magic.

["Remember, my son, always be aware of what is real, what is your doing, and what is magic unknown. Lose sight of that, and you will never truly master your magic." Frigga's words, and her face, come to his mind, with a lot of feelings of longing. He misses her so much.]

It really is-

[Breathes in sharply because oh.]

[Oh.]

[And there is a pang of envy because it'd be nice to remember someone who actually gave her some guidance about all she could do.]

[But also relief.]

...at least she seemed sensible. [Unlike mister SUDDEN NAP.] And nice.
