INTROS + MONTHLIES

Who: Everyone
When: Day 59, morning
Where: the Aurora

[It's morning, though you might not know it from the darkness that remains outside. But there is an annoouncement on your Chain to brighten up the day regardless:]
WELCOME NEW HEROES

[This round's newbies are waking up in their rooms, in the usual nondescript undies or team pyjamas. They'll get their basic welcome message and a prompt to view the IC Guide.

As you go out to greet them, you might find that the entire train has been decorated! By whom is not readily apparent, but there's streamers and heart-shaped balloons adorning all the hallways and many of the additional cars besides which. It's festive!

You know what else is festive? The candy hearts sitting in bowls around the place. They all have generic, cute messages on them like "I ♥ You," "Be Mine," "Text Me," "Forever," etc. Try one out! Though you might find they carry some effects when you try one out....

♥ Pink Hearts These hearts will cause an empathetic bond! For the next few minutes/hours/rest of the thread, you'll find yourself connected with the nearest person in arguably the most intimate of ways....

♡ White Hearts You just can't help it after you chomp down on one of these hearts-- you've got a song on your lips bursting to come out! You may even feel up for dancing. Go forth and be your best, most musical sellf!

♥ Green Hearts You know what that person you're talking to RIGHT NOW needs? A hug!!! At least, that's the urge you'll get the moment you pop a green heart into your mouth. Although handholding also seems to get rid of the compulsion, so hey, there's options!

♡ Blue Hearts The very next thing you say after you eat one of these bad boys comes out in poem form! It doesn't have to be good poetry, mind you. Limericks, haikus, anything goes! At least it's mercifully brief?

And so it goes. Enjoy your icebreaker and make that fresh meat feel welcome!]

[[OOC NOTES: As the monthly prompt, the candy hearts will continue until next month's placements. If you have any questions, please ping the mods via the q&a. Thank you!]]

There's usually something, yeah. I don't mind it too much ... [ Peers down at the candy. ] But I wouldn't blame anyone for not wanting to.

[ And that's when she pops it into her mouth. ]

[Said mostly to himself] A train full of fools...

[And he's backing his invisible real self out of arms' reach.]
bluediligence: (If I don't move... They won't notice me.)

[personal profile] bluediligence 2020-02-22 03:09 am (UTC)(link)
I'm okay with being a little foolish if it's to help save the universe!

[ ... oooh ]

[ ohhhh ]

[ hm! that sure is the urge to give someone a hug! ]

Hey, d'you wanna try to earn some sparks?
bestbrotherever: (sneer)

[personal profile] bestbrotherever 2020-02-24 05:02 am (UTC)(link)
[Hmm... Does he want to earn sparks, or watch someone make a fool of themselves as a balm for him being made a fool of earlier? Tough choice.]

You may try if you wish.

[And he'll go with humiliation by leaving the illusion up and keeping his real self out of reach.]
bluediligence: (New York is without a homicide.)

1/2

[personal profile] bluediligence 2020-02-24 10:20 am (UTC)(link)
Okay~!

[ It's not the most enthusiastic response, but a yes is a yes! She trots happily over to him, arms opening in the universal signal for HUGS. ]
bluediligence: (Does it have any sports in it?)

actually more than 2, sorry, i lied

[personal profile] bluediligence 2020-02-24 10:21 am (UTC)(link)
[ Except, when she goes to put her arms around him ]
bluediligence: (Be prepared for me to accuse you.)

bluediligence: (Well I was the obvious suspect.)

done

[personal profile] bluediligence 2020-02-24 10:28 am (UTC)(link)
[ A bright, beaming grin dawns ]

Oh my gosh! Oh, wow! You're an illusion! That's amazing, so life-like!

[ The urge to hug, hug, hug tickles in the back of her nose, like a withheld sneeze. That's fine, it's fine, she'll deal with that later. For now, oh my god this is so cool ]
bestbrotherever: (joy)

[personal profile] bestbrotherever 2020-02-25 04:36 am (UTC)(link)
[Loki grins and inclines his head. He likes praise, give it all to him.]

It is what I do best. I have convinced many with my illusions.

[Three new ones suddenly appear, all identical, all smiling.]

Can you guess which one is real? [He's actually not cheating this time.]
bluediligence: (You ever heard of toe beans?)

[personal profile] bluediligence 2020-02-26 06:21 pm (UTC)(link)
Ah! [ oh my gosh oh my gosh holy wow ]

[ MORE ILLUSIONS ]

[ if he wanted more praise, he's certainly going to get it; she loves magic. she's practically bouncing, looking between the four of them ]

This is one of the coolest things I've ever seen! Let's see, let's see ... [ She doesn't lean in close yet, just studying them for things like breathing, the play of the light in their hair and eyes, and their shadows. ]
bestbrotherever: (feral grin)

[personal profile] bestbrotherever 2020-02-28 02:29 am (UTC)(link)
[He's grinning now. All of him.]

Why thank you.

[It's a single voice, and if her hearing's good enough, she might be able to tell which Loki it's coming from. Enjoy your hint.]

bluediligence: (A fish? In orbit?)

[personal profile] bluediligence 2020-03-01 11:05 pm (UTC)(link)
[ !! ]

There you are! [ She's not so proud that she won't take a hint when she's given one. ]

[ Just to confirm, she reaches out to gently poke his arm. ]
bestbrotherever: (joy)

[personal profile] bestbrotherever 2020-03-04 06:45 am (UTC)(link)
[His grin widens a touch more. The arm is solid, and just to further confirm, the other Lokis dissolve away.]
bluediligence: (Speaking of our would-be murderer!)

[personal profile] bluediligence 2020-03-06 07:41 pm (UTC)(link)
Yaaaay, I got it!

[ claps excitedly, bouncing on the balls of her feet ]

Your magic really is super cool!
