video | orchestra one, immediately post platform

[jingyeets]

( Lan Jingyi, appearing briefly on ICP, soaked from head to toe, actively dripping water with his hair and ribbon plastered down either side of his face, his, er, nightgown likewise... plastered... against him... and it's white, this is a wet shirt contest and no one told anyone who showed up on platform, they all just suffered together. )

Look, if anyone's trying to find me and is confused why I'm not in my tiny short bed cabin, I'm staying in the "inn" carriage the next week.

( that's it, that's him wanting to inform the ones who'd probably want to know but being in a less than happy mood to track everyone down so doing it in the most broadreaching, effective way the train's got going for it. )

Poor noses!

[ Curufin gives Jingyi a smile in response to the shrug. He has mixed feelings about the Voidtrecker and its decisions, and he doesn't understand the train any more than Jingyi does. But he admires the young man's persistence in trying to communicate with it. ]

I suppose this is a simple yes or no question that we're going to ask. Will it give us the weather updates or not? If it doesn't want to, I wonder if it will actually say no, or just let us wait until the next platform and notice the lack of any such update?

[jingyeets]

Platform. We'll know when it does or does not announce things then.

[so_dark_a_road]

Hmm. Yep, that sounds like what the train would do.

[jingyeets]

Right, so don't hold your breath, unless you don't need to breathe.

[ Curufin chuckles at the joke. Jingyi is good at these humorous verbal twists. ]

I won't hold my breath. I'll just wait till the next platform and see what's in the train's platform post.

[jingyeets]

( a sharp huff of air out, and his eyes point ceilingward. )

Yeah, that'll make two of us.

Good place to wrap this thread?

[ Sometimes it's hard not to be exasperated with the train's habits of interaction. Curufin rolls his eyes to show he understands. ]

late note but yes good wrap point!
