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.]]

[Abruptly stands up straight again.]
Sora does not really know the details either, but apparently the "heroes" are supposed to just make friends and watch out for monsters for now? We will have other things to do but that is not now?
no subject
Saying "we'll have other things to do" makes it sound like eventually we're going to get a cosmic to-do list from the Star Prince. Or. . . someone else.
no subject
no subject
It sounds like we need to form a hero union. Wouldn't you say?
no subject
Sora says: like a hero guild? That would be very helpful, too!
no subject
It sounds like everyone here is in the same boat. If we're all unhappy about it, then we should do something about it, instead of just doing as we're told.
no subject
[Seems a little amused by this.]
Sora will join in and help "do something about it", too! If there is things Sora can do.
no subject
Nah. That isn't it. I just don't like the passive approach of "sit around and wait for things to happen."
[his hands dip into his pockets and he stands up a little straighter, shoulders thrown back]
Do you know if anyone here has even met the Star Prince?
no subject
no subject
[he brushes that aside for now]
Then that's a good place for us to start. Asking around to see if we can get in contact with his Star Prince.
[game plan!!]
no subject
no subject
Bigger on the inside. . .
no subject
[The main upside to the size discrepancy, clearly.]
no subject
I already figured out that part.
[how else do you think he got up here]
no subject
[#respect]
no subject
Does it add points to my style score, or what?
no subject
Haha~ Sora thinks it does!
no subject
Worth it, then.
no subject
...
Sora needs to go back inside the train now! Sora is not very good with phones, so can Sora ask what team Mister Unicorn is on? Sora will go tell Mister Unicorn if Sora finds things out.
[The reason why he suddenly needs to leave is... not clear.]
no subject
[it gets an arched brow from Akira, but really, he isn't going to stop him]
I'm on team-- pink?
[AKIRA]
I'm actually not sure. But I should be pretty easy to find; I'll be the only unicorn wandering around these parts.
[maybe]
no subject
[Waves!!]
Sora is to excuse himself when he leaves, goodbye!
[Just gonna slip back into the train via window over >>>> here, casually, like this is as normal as using the front door.]
no subject
[JUST WAVES SORA OFF AS HE GOES. and then continues to hang around on the roof of the train like the pink unicorn he is]
