Kazoo 1 [video]

[The video flickers, addressing the train as a whole. There's a man dressed in a blue hoodie, so he looks unassuming with a red ribbon tied up in his hair in a ponytail]

Greetings and good afternoon. If you're new, make yourself at home. If you've been here for a while and never met, I am not known to many, but I had been here for quite a while.

The journey on the train can be a very long one. It will be difficult to find activities to do on the train to pass the time while we wait until the train arrives to the next world for the next mission. You can read books in the library, go train in the gym, watch a movie in the cinema, or listen to music in the music car to pass the time.

That's why I had been thinking of teaching art classes and hold lessons on most days. If you're interested in art and sculpting, I can arrange teaching a small group and find art supplies for us to use and experiment with. We can make beautiful pieces, work with color, and make statues, and find inspiration in everything.

I am Hua Cheng, by the way, or Mr. Cheng. I like painting and coloring, and I realized if you like drawing and working with colors, I can teach you how to draw and paint.

There's no rekindling needed. They're dedicated! It's Romeo, Madoka, and Ple Two -- all from Blue. We're thinking about trying to do some painting on the garden car wall, just a side of it? And sticking up a tree made from some of the bamboo in the greenhouse.

[ You know, juuust borrow some of it. He raises a hand up. ]

And maybe a roof or canopy made with a fishing? Not sure how it's gonna work, but we got all the gear today! We're thinking about making it into a memorial space. But- [ he waves a hand, mood quietening. ]

Platform day's been rough, so I haven't talked to them about it.

[with a nod, he recognized them] I met Romeo and Madoka, it's been a while since I last seen them. I haven't met Ple Two yet. I was busy trying to get settled.

[he listens with great interest] A painting on the garden wall. I would like to do that. Something like a mural, yes? So count me in.

[he listens again, and takes out a small notebook to write it down] We can figure it out later. There's no rush. A project like this takes time and planning. Lots of time.

A memorial. I know what loss feels like. I feel that personally. So if I'm able to help, it will be a beautiful memorial. Back home, I fix and repair temples and paint pictures for a spiritual and religious reason. So if we get together, it will be a space for all.

Cool! Maybe you can give us some ideas [ Tidus says with a nod and a grin. ] We wanna make it like a memorial...but also a day that's happy too, you know? They're gonna make a big cake. [ Aha- ] And we're thinking about... little gifts too.

They're a real giving kind of group. Like to make everyone they meet happy. 'Course, that means I've gotta do my part to make sure they're getting presents too.

[crimson_rain]

[He writes more notes down in his notebook] I'll think of something along the way. I can't think of anything else for now, other than figuring out what's everyone into and just go with the flow.

Cakes and gifts are good offerings. From where I'm from, we leave flowers and burn incenses sticks and candles and put pictures of the loved one to remember them by. But I think presents and making people happy is the theme, to help people remember.

What about people still around? We were talking about lil' pouches, sticking something in them, for anyone who wanted to join in and make some decorations for the lil' garden addition? ...and it was more food and sweet things.

[ Aha. Typical for kids, but he couldn't say he could come up with anything better. ]

[crimson_rain]

[he wrote those down too and keep notes] We'll see who wants to take part and join in. I imagine it's a slow project with the limited resources we have.

Not to mention things can get hectic before and after missions.
