[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.]]

Sounds like we've got different problems. I'm pretty much normal except for that thing in my head, and now that it's off, I can't do anything special. On a train like this... that's kind of a recipe for disaster.

N-No. It's okay, I'm learning from a couple others already. I just... don't feel like it's gonna mean much.

[If he's up against a regular human, sure, but when has that been the case in the worlds they end up dispatched to?]

Yeah? I've been on a couple missions already, and it hasn't helped. There're a ton of people who can do ten times what I can.

...Yeah, you might have a point there. But some of the nine-year-olds here are superhuman. I'm just... normal. N-Not that people who have powers are abnormal, it's just...

Heh, not a lot, really. Playing music? Cooking, a little. Getting into shit.

[He laughs, but it's clear it bothers him more than he wants to let on.]

Yeah, well... it's still not as useful as magic and stuff. We're always fighting things that a normal human can't take out, you know?
