[ della has a slightly serious look on her face... but for those who know her, there's definite playfulness in her eyes. ]

This is one of those "I can't believe I have to say this" kind of deals, so buckle up, folks.

Guys? I know I'm really amazing, very cool, and all around unbelievable. I'm so many things, it's hard to list them all. But one thing I'm not?

A deity. Yes, I am in fact, 100%, absolutely and truly not a goddess. And no, I'm not a demi-goddess either. Not a single trace of divinity in me. I won't name names, but this has happened about three or four times now. Just thought I'd mention it in case there's anyone else out there with this assumption.

... Y'know what? It's a new month, and that means we're getting newbies. Maybe now's a good time for everyone to sweep any other misunderstandings under the rug. So, if there's anything you wanna clear up about yourself, your world, your species, whatever, go for it.

Just Della will do! Since it's my name, Della Duck.

Della, it is then! I'm Tani! It's nice to meet you.

I really like the idea you've got going here, letting everyone talk about their problems. Though I don't really have any secrets or things I need to share unless you'd like me to come up with a fun one?

Have you been on the train long?

[sos_pilot]

It's nice to meet you too, Tani! But don't feel pressured to share anything you don't wanna. Really, I just wanted to make people smile with this - once you get to know me, you'll see I'm nowhere near god-like.

As for train-age, I've been here for a couple of months now.

[ actually close to a year now but WE ARE NOT GOING TO ACKNOWLEDGE THAT ]

[windwhirl]

Don't worry, I'm the type of person who's gotten myself in trouble for speaking up too much. That would be really silly if people want to treat you like a god though. You're you, special in your own way! Doesn't matter who are or what you're like, so long as you're helping people and living the best life possible!

[She's completely unfazed at the fact that Delia is a duck. Coming from a world with sentient cats, dogs, and robots will do that to a kid.]

Wow! Do you have any good tips for a new passenger like me?

[sos_pilot]

You? I like you.

[ officially adopted. ]

Let's see... I know chores are a pain, but think of them as stealth training! And never be afraid to ask for help for anything - there are so many talented people on the train!

[windwhirl]

Really? Well, I like you too!

[The mom she always wishes she had.]

That's a great way to view them! Back home, I used chores as a chance to get to talk to people as well, make friends and such.

So far, I've met some nice people, and I even have a companion from home here, so that's been good. But I'm wondering why and how we're exactly brought here. I guess that's the question that has everyone stumped.

[sos_pilot]

Well, my theory is that the train has chosen great heroes from all across the worlds to help save others!

[windwhirl]

Well, that makes sense. But what happens if it pulls someone bad or a person without any adventure-based skills? Are they just forced to work together with other people on the train?

[sos_pilot]

The train must see the hero-potential in them! It's on us to whip 'em into shape!

[windwhirl]

Ah! We've got a lot of work to do then! It's not just about the missions but helping each other grow.

Alright, that settles it! I'm going to do my best to help anyone in need here, especially those who aren't ready for missions.

[sos_pilot]

Atta girl! See, you're a perfect fit for this place! We should've picked you up way sooner!

[windwhirl]

Really? I mean, I’m happy to be here, but I hope everything is going okay back home. I left some very important people behind and they might be lost without me there.

[sos_pilot]

Ah, don't worry about that. Home's hit a big ol' pause button!

[windwhirl]

Oh...well that's perfect! If everything at home is at a standstill, then that'll allow me to focus on my tasks here without issue.

What are the missions like, by the way? Are we here to rescue people and slay monsters?

[sos_pilot]

Mostly! But it's different every time. Maybe you need to find a hidden god in the underground caverns! Maybe you need to upload a virtual version of yourself to fight a virus! You never know what you're gunna get.

And some worlds don't need rescuing and we're allowed to just chill.
