Event: A Prelude
Who: Everyone!
When: Day 8, evening
Where: around
[It's a beautiful evening in the jungle tonight. It's warmer than usual, and some new plants have appeared, black vines that climb up the trees near the Aurora, opening hundreds of tiny white flowers that glow in the darkness. They let of a sweet smell that's soothing like a chamomile tea, and are filled with a dew that, if consumed, leaves characters feeling relaxed and just a little more likely to act on positive impulses.
However, the vines of this plant aren't so harmless. When broken they drip a milky white substance which irritates the skin, leaving red welts that burn and last anywhere from an hour to a full day, depending on how long the substance is in contact. Eating this won't kill you but it'll give you really intense heartburn and nausea for a few hours.
Additionally, if you're walking around in the nearby jungle, you might trip over one of the small cracks that have appeared in the forest floor. Mostly they're not visible underneath the grass and underbrush, but the bigger ones have caused a slight unevenness in the ground that can catch careless toes. There doesn't seem to be any particular pattern or origin to the cracks, nor do they have any other affect on their surroundings. They're just there, suddenly, in a roughly 100-foot radius from the train.
But there's plenty of reason to ignore these natural phenomenon, because there are some new teammates waking up in your carriages! In response to this new wave of arrivals, existing players will hear a cute jingling ringtone come from their Chain. Upon checking, the screen displays... a silly animation of balloons and confetti and the words "WELCOME NEW HEROES", which goes away on its own after a few seconds or when characters tap it. The same display is shown on the big screen in the lounge, in which trays full of colourful drinks have mysteriously appeared. The drinks taste like Kool-Aid and change some part of you the corresponding colour -- pink hair, blue skin, purple eyes, or maybe just a literal green thumb!]
[[OOC NOTE: Newbies can review the arrival scenario on the navigation page if necessary. The drinks in the lounge come in any colour you want, and cause colour shift in whatever and however large an area you want. It could just be a strand of hair or it could be your entire body, whatever you feel like playing with.]]

[dips his other hand into his pocket, one brow raised]
The only thing I can give you is the exit to the train. Anything beyond that I'm just as clueless on as you are.
no subject
She isn't exactly sure why, but she doesn't trust anyone. Anything. ]
I'm supposed to believe that?
no subject
[despite his non-threatening demeanor, he does hold himself rather firmly as he speaks with her]
But it won't change the truth.
no subject
Fine. Move back.
[ More than he is now, she means. ]
no subject
Did you just get here, too?
no subject
[ She's approaching, slowly, then digging sharp nails into the crease in the window to yank it open. For a second, she loses the aggro. ]
...what kind of forest is that?
no subject
A jungle?
[HELPFUL]
I don't actually know, but it's probably worth checking out.
no subject
Who are you?
no subject
Kurusu Akira. But it's okay if you just call me Akira.
And you?
no subject
no subject
Do you want to pick one out for yourself?
no subject
No. It's not important.
no subject
[he can't just shout "hey, you!" every time he wants to talk to her]
no subject
[ help....ful...... ]
no subject
All right. Sounds like you're about to be official dubbed, "hey, you."
