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!]]

Right now?

Breakfast and I can give you a tour of the place.

[personal profile] terribletwos 2020-03-07 07:25 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm not hungry.
schrodingerscockroach: (...what)

[personal profile] schrodingerscockroach 2020-04-09 09:37 am (UTC)(link)
...do you need to eat?
terribletwos: (but we both know you've forgotten it)

[personal profile] terribletwos 2020-04-10 01:03 am (UTC)(link)
What? I eat like anyone else.

[ Whether he needs to is another story. He's never thought of it. Though he probably does now that he's in this body. ]

Good to know, but I was asking if you need, not if you can.

[Shrugs.] People require different sustenance. Like I can go a long while without eating and I only sleep like four hours to feel pretty rested.

[Which really just makes the bags under his eyes a more worrying prospect because he seriously doesn't NEED a ton of sleep.]

Also excellent night vision. Differences happen.

[ He scuffs at the ground with his foot. ]

I don't know. I never had to worry about it before. Probably. Since I'm human now. Or at least have a normal body.

And I really don't think four hours counts as sleep.
schrodingerscockroach: (Well we could)

[personal profile] schrodingerscockroach 2020-06-05 05:47 am (UTC)(link)
Probably a good call to make. Do you know what hunger feels like?

Not for most people, no. Different biology, different needs. I also have extremely good night vision.
terribletwos: (want a moment to be real)

[ Still not really looking at Dusk ]

Not really...

That makes you sound like a cat.
