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. )

Have we asked if anyone's had success hearing from it? I heard about how it answered questions that one time, I know it spoke not that long ago, outside of its usual "hey we're coming into platform" or "about to throw you at someone else's overwhelming problem" thing, but...

( He's at this point ignoring tea in favour of petting Little Carrot, who also has the easy bulk of his attention. He doesn't know what to think of all this, and so he asks, slightly less direct because he doesn't know what he's even asking. )

There was a time when the train or whatever is controlling it did offer to answer questions that were posed by those who were on the train. I do not know that many had much success with the answers. The train would deliberately not answer some of the questions and there were a lot of answers that were vague. Nothing specific.

[ Little Carrot is fine stealing attention away from the tea. Getting pets was the better option, right? Right. Besides, it wasn’t like the tea was going anywhere… Same could be said for the fact that Jingyi was sitting there petting him for the moment. Jingyi was not going anywhere… but the bunny would much rather steal attention and get what it wanted ]

There are some who have knowledge of technology from home who seem to be working on trying to figure out the train. Quatre, who has helped the Blue Team several times, has notes from when another passenger named Webmind was here. Webmind was trying a lot of different tactics to try and learn about the train and potentially open the front compartment. Seto Kaiba also seems to be one who is trying to learn about the train.

[ He had heard an announcement by Seto Kaiba not too terribly long ago that he was working on it and enlisting others so the name stuck in his head]

... Are those written down anywhere?

( Not that he wants to volunteer himself for reading, but he also knows the worth in it, should there be records. It's so... frustrating, the silences, and so many expectations laid on them anyway.

The rabbit is certainly getting his due of attention. )

Huh. Hope they figure something out eventually. Not like we can help on that side of things.

[achickenformylove]

The notes that have been obtained? I know that Quatre has the notes which he keeps somewhere in his belongings. I am unsure where the others keep their notes.

[ All the pets! Little Carrot is getting all of the pets! Even Little Radish is watching him now as well ]

Yes, it is difficult that we are unable to assist, but it is understandable given that our world is not so advanced as theirs.

[jingyeets]

Huh... I'll ask if he'll let me read them, I guess.

( come over, little radish, he's got two hands, he can pet you too. very generous, to offer pets this freely. )

What do we do in the meantime, Hanguang-jun? What can we even do?

[achickenformylove]

I suspect he will. He’s willing to help others with the technology here so he’d probably attempt to explain them as well.

[ Well, if there are two hands for petting… Little Radish was going to leave WangJi’s side and go over to Jingyi. All of the petting for him too? None of the drinking of the tea?

WangJi just watched his rabbit in amusement before answering ]

We can try to learn and offer assistance where we can.

[jingyeets]

( the tea drinking has been forgotten by the time he's got two rabbits, one per hand, to pet from a stroke over their heads and ears and along the course of their backs, repeating the same course of action again and again. )

What sorts have you learned so far, Hanguang-jun?

[achickenformylove]

[ It was a little hard to drink tea when both hands were taken up by rabbits. The rabbits were grateful and loving the attention, but they didn’t make it easy for drinking tea. And since the attention didn’t seem like it would be stopping soon, they had no desire to go anywhere ]

A few of those from more technologically advanced worlds have been teaching me how to use the equipment on the train. [ So he knew how to find music and save the ones he liked in the music carriage ]

[jingyeets]

Have you tried the karaoke machine yet?

( let the rabbits rejoice in their attention as he asks the quiet question, glancing up to Hanguang-jun's face, then letting his attention drift back down to more of his shoulder. easier to look at for longer, when not feeling at his best. )

[achickenformylove]

I don't believe I have. I tried the game that Inigo bought not long ago.

[ Yes, he had tried the dancing game that had recently been bought. Granted, he hadn't "danced" fast... but he had technically by the definition of the machine. More like he had stepped on the arrows indicated while staying as still as possible otherwise ]

[jingyeets]

( a pause in rabbit pets, grin turning into a smug smirk. )

The dancing game he won't call a dancing game. Bet you did great!

[achickenformylove]

[Nooooo! Why pets pause?!]

Yes, that would be the one. Thank you. For my first time, I think I did well. Have you tried?
