INTROS + MONTHLIES

[trainmasters]

Who: Everyone
When: Day 60, evening
Where: the Aurora

[The Candy Hearts are gone-- or at least, they're no longer all over the place. If you kept a few for your own purposes then well, feel free to enjoy yourself. Live your best life!

Though you may have just got out of a Trial recently, there is the sound of an announcement on your Chain: ]

WELCOME NEW HEROES

[And indeed, there is another round of newbies 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.

"Someone" has seen to bring refreshments to greet the newbies. It's sparkling water, refreshingly cool and surprisngly sugar-free considering the surroundings. If you choose to drink it, you will find yourself instantly refreshed, almost as if you'd gotten a full day's rest. You will also find that the very next thing you say to someone is a mildly inconvenient truth. It cannot and will not compel you to tell someone your deep, dark secrets but it MIGHT compel you to admit you forgot to brush your teeth this morning....

Have fun and enjoy meeting your new people! ]

[[OOC NOTES: As the monthly prompt, the sparkling water 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 food in your cabin car. But if you want something special, you probably have to make it yourself.

[tobluerafters]

So it's easy to find. I'll go eat in a bit then. [He's not so sure about making food, but perhaps he'll get an idea on what to do once he knows what he's got to work with.]

Are we required to do schooling here?

[terribletwos]

I don't think there's any teachers here.

[ Not that he knows too much about school aside from projects, homework and summer vacation. ]

[tobluerafters]

Really? [That strikes him as odd, but he's not sure why.]

So when we aren't doing hero things, we're just free to do as we please?

[terribletwos]

I haven't heard anyone say anything about school. And if there was anything here, it probably got swallowed by the Malice.

I guess. I'm still not sure what else there is to do here, really.

[tobluerafters]

How very strange indeed. [He has mixed feelings about it, but again, not sure why.]

What about playing games? Or causing some mischief? That sounds like fun.

[terribletwos]

Causing mischief? Why?

[tobluerafters]

Because it's fun to mess with people sometimes. And sometimes they deserve it. But mostly because it's fun.

[terribletwos]

Then you have people who don't trust you.

I straight up felt compelled to get this icon specifically for this tag

[tobluerafters]

It's all in good fun. It's not like anyone has to get hurt.

lol

[terribletwos]

I didn't think you meant people getting hurt. I just don't like a bunch of people thinking the wrong thing about me.

[tobluerafters]

What's there to think wrong? Isn't it naturally to want to have fun and cause trouble?

[terribletwos]

I like having fun...

[tobluerafters]

Sure you do! Most people do, in fact. [Well, he knows there's gotta be some people who don't like fun, but that's no way to live.]

Now, I think what we need to do is get to know other people on the train. Then after we have an idea of who they are, we can craft the perfect plan.

[terribletwos]

Perfect plan?

[tobluerafters]

Well, you can't plan anything unless you know what you're aiming for. And you can't expect a prank to work the same on just everyone. You have to make it special.

It's supposed to be fun for that person, too. Unless the prank is a punishment. Then it's not going to be very fun for that person.

[terribletwos]

How can a prank be fun for the other person?

[tobluerafters]

Once they know it's a joke they either laugh it off or get angry and chase you around with a broom or something. [He shrugs.]

The fun is worth it.

[terribletwos]

I might leave that kind of fun up to you.

[tobluerafters]

If that's what you want. [He shrugs but smiles.]

Just lemme know if you change your mind.
