( He starts with his hand falling away from the ICP, and then Wei Wuxian lifts them both, cupping them to bow to the screen; polite, but not overly so. He's in one of the carriages' open spaces rather than any closed and quieter room. )
Hello, Trainlings! On the subject of training, ignoring the Express part, and sadly lacking any Void technical backup, who else has experience with or abilities in generating illusions, or confusion arrays, anything that fools senses into believing something is there that isn't—in dreams or waking, I suppose.
( He waves a hand, smiling at the screen. )
Brief as our time at the Undersea Monastery was, our quiet monks provided a dip into things we can try to keep working with here: meditation and illusion breakaways. There's a few from my close-to-home world who have skills in either and are willing offer training for those interested, and I'm looking for other perspectives and talents to do the same. We may not be Void powered, but there are patterns enough to keep training people to recognise.
( This is followed by a pause, and his eyes drifting upward, before he clears his throat and, with another grin that's a bit less sincere, adds: )
Also, with the, ah, animal populations on board. Exactly how many dogs or other dog-like animals are on train? And do you have any set, er, schedules or. Places. Where you let them free.

Who knows, maybe you'll get lucky, be sent home soon, ah?
( Is it luck, though? Is it really? None of the process is even close to transparent. )
Mm, so the train provides you with specialised care... kind of the force behind it all. I can't say that directly absorbing something doesn't make sense in certain ways, but I admit my bias is to thinking it's more to do with what is absorbed in the spirit instead of the body. Not to say this changes anything in the end result, nor that I care to... investigate too much into the oddity.

[What a generous guy he is, right? Offering a bit of weird trainbrain.]
I'll see if this book I am getting on necromancy has anything interesting in it. I should really look into the cultivation thing, too.
What do the dead sound like to you, by the way?
no subject
Sure, I'm curious! ALso about your book if you find anything interesting. Cultivation... well, standard cultivation is a lot of self refinement, meditation, things of that nature. What I do isn't only that, but relies on that base for steadiness and control.
( Waving his hand like it's no big thing, despite the fact it is, in fact, important. )
Oh, you know. Most of those I deal with are shouting or screaming based on what it was they died like, or what resentments they held onto. Bodied dead don't... exactly have the same sound, to me? It'd be possessions which could, and even that depends on the possessing ghost. Some I'd have to be in physical contact to 'hear.'
( Anyone not overflowing with resentful energies, at the minimum. )
no subject
Usually the dead just have small thoughts. I don't hear as clearly as my daughter could. But when I could they weren't particularly malicious. At least, not towards me, maybe to people around us.
So would I count as 'bodied dead'?

So maybe you might be able to hear me if I used my powers. What I use to usually talk to other undead.

( ... though in truth he likely would, which is a whole other weirdness since it's not as common for living-ish creatures in his world to communicate that way. )

[He's getting better off the train, though. Range and focus are definitely improving.]
