[Kazoo 5] [Early Morning] [Video]

[helborn]

[Good morning, train. You get a somewhat mussed-looking Casper in a blue hoodie, sitting in the hall of Sleeper Three.]

Uh. Hey. For those of you I haven't met, my name's Casper. I'm new. ... I'm on purple, this hoodie came with me. Anyway.

I've done worldhopping before, picked up some stuff. I'll follow everyone else's lead but... shit, I'm rambling, sorry.

Does anyone else here get prophetic dreams or whatever? We're supposed to be getting close to mission time, yeah? I got hit with one... mine always are bad ends, stuff to avoid... not always straightforward but I'll share what I got.

The whole place was monochrome, people screaming, buildings falling... and then something ripping the sky apart, pulling it open like a portal... something with big claws and huge eyes, hissing and spraying something black.

I'm... honestly too tired to give you anything solid as to what it means, but I thought I'd ask if anyone else has info.

Prophetic dreams aren't uncommon on the train, particularly a day or so before a mission. Unfortunately, most of the others who I know also received them have either departed or are currently missing.

[She shuffles a bit, reaching out for what looks to be a stack of paper]

I am not entirely sure that the visions we receive here correspond neatly to the way they manifest in our own worlds. Before I arrived here, mine tended toward the heavily symbolic- but everything I've seen in one here has been something which has occurred or been seen during the pertinent mission.

[helborn]

Okay. Hopefully some of them are more positive than constant bad outcomes.

Oh, I didn't have these at home. I was in a place between worlds before... a few of us ended up getting affected by sort of... "things man was not meant to know" kind of stuff.

[wisdominshadows]

Another world between worlds, then? [Sighing, reaching for a pen] I don't know if your experience would change matters, I'm afraid. The mechanism for one's gifts seems to matter less than the fact that they exist.

The visions tend to vary in intensity month by month, and by team and individual as well, sometimes. You will likely find some to be merely perplexing, and others....

[A pause.]

Others may indeed be quite distressing. Forgive me for prying, but may I ask a few questions?

[helborn]

[Oh she takes notes. Awesome.]

I'm used to longer missions - about a month and a half or so. I'm also used to a telepathic network for quick strategy and no established teams.

Sure, go ahead. I don't mind.

[wisdominshadows]

You should be well-prepared, then. These missions usually last about a week.

[A project of one who left the train; she's attempting to continue it]

The buildings you mentioned- would they be a city surrounded by towers?

[helborn]

Maybe? I didn't actually see them, I just... happen to know what falling buildings sound like.

[wisdominshadows]

Sadly, I doubt you're the only one with that knowledge among our present company.

[The train does seem to choose people with such *interesting* backgrounds, after all.]
