[Casper appears on the network with a grin, waving at the screen. But he’s not alone this time - Raven’s with him. ... Which is why he’s standing back a bit so his face doesn’t take up the whole screen.]
Hey there! Casper and Raven here - uh, for the new people, I’m Casper. She’s Raven. We have something we’ve been working on that we’re ready to share.
A lot of people on this train have trouble sleeping for various reasons. I’ve got a few different methods of helping with the bad sleep. One of which was inspired by one of Casper’s ideas, which is why we’re doing this together.
We thought we’d help out. I know a lot of people here have enough trouble with nightmares that they don’t want to sleep, so we both have things for each room. Raven has her… uh. Why don’t you explain yours?
There’s melatonin capsules in Medical to help regulate your day and night cycle, I have some teas and infusions, along with sachets, and the last relates to Casper’s idea.
On my previous travels I... picked up an ability to make something called dreamcatchers. Which I know are a thing some of you might have heard of, but it’s different. Sort of. It absorbs the nightmares of those around it and emits a kind of passive magic regeneration. You can also pull magic from it directly, too - I can show you how if that applies to you. And please do, since they do have a limit. Oh, and I made them look like little plush stars... because it's cute...
Based on his version of a Dreamcatcher, I’ve done something similar but using amethyst crystal globes as the base. They’ll do the same thing, except for being able to pull magic from it. Sanzo has kindly offered to help me cleanse them every platform day, so the nightmares won’t build up too much. I have 10 currently made, and they’ll hang in string-basket-bags from the doorway of your cabin. The idea is 1 globe per cabin, and if you need something more personal, I can work with that or Casper can.
And mine should work just fine on their own? If they don’t, please let me know. I haven’t tried to make so many go at once... there might be some fine-tuning that has to happen.
Oh, and uh. If you’re worried about some other kind of mind-altering effects, it doesn’t do that. I can explain a little more later if you want to find me. Oh, speaking of finding -
[He looks over at Raven.]
We’ll be set up on one of the booth seats in the Standard car for a bit if you want to stop by and grab one. If you also want to help with buying supplies, or know more about other stuff to help, feel free to ask.
So yeah, one person from each cabin can come by and grab stuff. We’ll see you there!
[He waves and cuts the broadcast off.]
[[ooc; If you want to respond to the network post that works, or you can go straight to action. You don’t have to keep track if someone from your cabin already came over, feel free to tag in. Please specify if you have a preference for one or the other or both.]]

[In fairness he hadn't been checking too closely, but his aren't all that complicated to make, so he can just sew some more if need be.]
[He holds his dreamcatcher out - it's a little plush star with a space pattern fabric and a ribbon sewn into it to act as a handle.]
Learning how to make these is kind of the only way I got any sleep for years, so if I can pass it along to other people I'm more than happy to.
no subject
It works the same way as the orb ones right? Just hang it up somewhere, and it'll work for everyone in the room?
And how exactly do you go about pulling magic out of it on purpose? Aside from my fire, I'm not a big magic user, but one of my best friends is. And unfortunately the likelihood of her asking herself is pretty slim.
no subject
Here, let me show you.
[He holds his hands out and a stuffed wolf appears in them.]
This is mine. It's easy when you get the hang of it... just visualize pulling the energy from it. You can think of it as like pulling a piece of clay off of a big chunk.
no subject
No, focus, Lea!]
Alright, I'll give it a shot.
[Like pulling a piece of clay off a big chunk... Lea closes his eyes and pictures the plush wolf as being made of clay. Then he imagines reaching out and pulling a piece of clay off of the wolf's body.]
no subject
[Casper grins and nods, feeling the capacity in his dreamcatcher drain a bit.]
There you go! Just by having it around it'll refill a bit, so you should be more full when you wake up.
[He hands over one of Raven's bags and one of the plush dreamcatchers.]
Just find a spot to hang it up in your room, wherever works for you.
no subject
Got it; sounds simple enough.
And thanks. These are probably going to be a big help to a lot of people on the train.
