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!]]

If I was trying to make fun of your poem, you wouldn't have to ask. I've had my fill of questionable candy after the last time.

[ apparently, she can learn ]
thunderbeast: (Do you like my sword?)

[ Shrugs. Eats another blue one. ]

You were a fun kid.
I think it's entertaining.
You should try just one.

[personal profile] dragonheartedgirl 2020-03-04 05:45 am (UTC)(link)
I--

[ was a brat. and she knows it!! ]

--You don't need to lie to save my face!

[ she takes a heart. It's Pink. ]

If it will make you be quiet, then I'll do it.

[ aaaaand she eats it. welcome to hell, aka your new empathic bond with your (very obviously) flustered princess. ]
thunderbeast: (You screwed up your hands)

[personal profile] thunderbeast 2020-03-08 11:28 pm (UTC)(link)
[ She really didn't have to. But she did.]

[...just stares. Waiting for a change. ]

Do you feel any different?
dragonheartedgirl: (mrrrrrr)

[personal profile] dragonheartedgirl 2020-03-09 01:53 am (UTC)(link)
Like what?

[ unease. she feels. uneasy now. and that's getting broadcast allll over him. ]
thunderbeast: (Haha...you don't say...)

[personal profile] thunderbeast 2020-03-09 03:09 am (UTC)(link)
...something is different about you.

[ He can't really pinpoint it though. ]

Are you okay?
dragonheartedgirl: (tsun shout)

[personal profile] dragonheartedgirl 2020-03-10 05:40 am (UTC)(link)
[ she flusters at the accusation. and there's a general sense of confusion. wwwwwhat is happening here? ]

I'm fine! Isn't it you who's acting weird!?

thunderbeast: (No I'm not being sarcastic at all)

[personal profile] thunderbeast 2020-03-11 12:47 am (UTC)(link)
[Yep. Totally confused here.]

I'm pretty sure it's you. Are you sure you don't need to sit down? Your face is really red...

Are you running a fever?

[ Yep. Totally moving his hand toward her forehead to see if she's warm.]

[ EDGING BACK

very... very embarrassed and confused. it's probably becoming cyclical. ]

I'm fine, I don't need any help! Stop right there.

[ swatting at his incoming hand ]

[personal profile] thunderbeast 2020-03-11 03:50 am (UTC)(link)
[ Definitely embarrassed and confused. Perhaps a little defensive...]

If you're sick, you shouldn't be running around here like this.
dragonheartedgirl: (bullied from all sides)

[personal profile] dragonheartedgirl 2020-03-11 04:37 am (UTC)(link)
[ oh, yes. very defensive... ]

I'm not sick! My face just does this, okay?!

[ why must you BULLY her?! ]
thunderbeast: (pic#8627134)

[personal profile] thunderbeast 2020-03-11 04:55 am (UTC)(link)
[ He's not the one screaming? Plus, he didn't realize worrying over someone's health was the definition of bullying.]

...I don't think that's normal. Does the heart you picked turn your face red like that?

[Why does he feel agitated though?]
dragonheartedgirl: (the lady doth protest)

[personal profile] dragonheartedgirl 2020-03-11 05:14 am (UTC)(link)
Why does he feel agitated? And for that matter, why does it feel like that feeling is getting stronger--and maybe a little panicky?

How should I know!? It didn't say what it would do on the candy.
thunderbeast: (Let me cover you)

[personal profile] thunderbeast 2020-03-11 05:28 am (UTC)(link)
[ MUST. CALM. DOWN. Why are his emotions so crazy right now? It's almost like they are feeding off hers.

Oh.]

I think I figured it out. We both just need to calm down.

Take a deep breath and try to clear your mind. See if that helps.

[ He demonstrates by closing his eyes and taking a long deep breath. ]

[ INSTANT suspicion in spite of the deep and sudden urge to calm herself like he suggested. ]

... Is this a trick?

[ If she closes her eyes, is she going to open them again to find he's drawn something on her face, or--something like that? ]
thunderbeast: (Hak's not having any of your shit)

[personal profile] thunderbeast 2020-03-13 04:13 am (UTC)(link)
[ It's not working as well as he hoped it would. ]

Why do you always think the worst of me?
dragonheartedgirl: (b-b-but)

[personal profile] dragonheartedgirl 2020-03-16 09:59 pm (UTC)(link)
I--do not! In particular...... Why does it matter to you?!
