INTROS + MONTHLIES

[trainmasters]

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!]]

Well ... no. I had to try.

But I am sorry you had to find out about it like this.

[schrodingerscockroach]

....

Past few days have been a disaster of things I'm finding out. So at least it's with the rest of it.

[bluediligence]

Is that actually a positive ...

Last I heard, pile-ups were a bad thing.

[schrodingerscockroach]

I mean.

When it's a big enough pile up, what's one more car for the clean up.

[bluediligence]

No. Bad.

[schrodingerscockroach]

I have to sort out a lot of things.

And there's been like....a song stuck in my head too.

[bluediligence]

Let me know if there's anything I can do to help, okay?

[ leans!! ]

I'm here for you.

[ she gives him a questioning look though ]

What song?

[schrodingerscockroach]

This helps.

[Even if he feels selfish...it does help.]

I dunno. Something techno?

[bluediligence]

Glad to hear it ...

[ This much, she knows she can do. ]

Can you hum it?

[schrodingerscockroach]

Not....really? It's a pretty inconsistent beat.

[bluediligence]

Huh ...

I'm not sure what that one's about.

[schrodingerscockroach]

Yeah. I don't know either. [SIGHS.]

[bluediligence]

[ Gives him a gentle backpat. ]

If it's something from your heart, one of the others might know. I could give you the list of everyone who was there.

[schrodingerscockroach]

....that'd be good.

Probably.

[bluediligence]

[ WELL. ]

There was me, Meridian, Mao, Rean, Crow, Cat, Felix, and 80H.

[schrodingerscockroach]

....both Rean and 80H too....

[bluediligence]

... Mm.

What a mess.

[schrodingerscockroach]

It really is.

[bluediligence]

If it'd help ... if you have questions about what happened in there, I can do my best to answer.

[schrodingerscockroach]

....I don't even know where to start.

[bluediligence]

There's no rush.

[ Lightly hooks her arm through his, careful not to jostle his mug. ]

[schrodingerscockroach]

.....do you know if anyone got hurt?

[bluediligence]

Ah, I didn't see anybody who was ...

But I was on my own for most of is.

[schrodingerscockroach]

...that seems ill advised.

[bluediligence]

Hey, I was sensible! I asked for help when I needed it.

Honestly, I spent most of it standing around talking to people. [ the true RVB life ]
