[ Oh look, Jingyi's been introduced to the feedback function. Which he doesn't get the writing part at first, so it may be grumbling on his end until the tapping out of characters? The voidtrecker writing system? There goes his headache, only increasing.

Either way, duly written: ]

Greetings to the Voidtrecker Express, I'll be troubling you. No, really, I will, because now I'm here, so until I'm sent back, all I've got is plenty of troubling to do, since we're all equally troubled here. So let's start with this:

Why are our rooms so tiny? Those things that pass as beds barely work for people of average height and build, let alone those who are larger! Why is each room smaller than a, a, I don't know, smaller than something small? We spend half our time on this train, and you won't even give us shared sleeping spaces where we can stretch out or comfortably sleep or sit all four at a table to discuss things? Instead you stack us two high and pack us in like you think we're rabbits in a warren? We're not! I'm confidently saying we are not! Have you even offered a way for the tall ones and the big ones and I don't know, those of us who fall off beds because we move around at night can actually be comfortable?

Please, please, let our rooms be larger! With beds that work for everyone! And space to stretch out on the floor! I'll even meditate, and it means I'll complain less to you, that's a win! I think it's a win.

We're already pulled out of our lives to be here. If you're interested in at least making us somewhat less miserable when we have actual duties back there, when we have people who count on us there, too, can we have decent living spaces here? You travel through the Void, and that's headache inducing by the way for trying to watch it, because of course I tried I'm used to there being an outside to look at when I'm in any vessel this whole space feels super claustrophobic, but! If you can figure out how to do all that and make half these carriages work like you do, can you figure out larger rooms? I'm not even saying fewer people in a room! Only makes sense to share spaces, even if it's with a bunch of strangers with completely different things they consider normal and sane to do. Beds twice as wide, long enough to sleep in! Tables to work at! And folded up, enough space to move.

Come on, there's got to be a way, I believe in you! I don't have much of a choice, but whatever, I still choose to. After being at this temple place and getting to fully stretch out for the first time in weeks and yet still coming back each night to these tiny cramped sleeping spaces, I'm exhausted. Exhausted!

Looking forward to future feedback sessions,
Lan Jingyi

[ Has it necessarily been weeks? No, but congratulations, this is Jingyi, Voidtrecker Express. ]

You don't have a good concept of time, do you.

You took us to this place to learn how to fend against illusions - great, but for three days? Couldn't you even give us a week? Do you know what a week is? You know, seven days?

This is stuff you should want us to learn anyway when we're doing these jobs because of you! Which explains why you even bothered to take us here.

How about those answers to what your end goal is, huh? Those coming any time soon? Some actual proper cooperation? Yeah? No? Thinking about it?

Greetings, Voidtrecker Express, I'll be troubling you.

Have you been considering my request? I can't be the only one who's complained about this, there's no way. I've heard people have been onboard for eight months? Ten? A year? How they're not going out of their heads living in such small spaces is anyone's guess, you can't even stretch out properly in there! It's not a refuge of quiet or rest or privacy with your three roommates anything else, it's packing ten chickens in a tiny chicken house!

Look, there's a whole bunch of us on this train, and from what I understand, that wasn't always the case. There was a crew, that went missing? Which must have been lonely and scary for you, I get that. We run Night Hunts with groups because people watching your back and working with you is how we end up with fewer injured and dead at the end of the day, night, whatever. You need a group to do your Night Hunts through the Void, I get it, I promise. I don't like the whole abduction thing, that's happened more than once in my life and that's officially more than anyone should be abducted ever, especially for cultivators, but! Whatever, okay, fine, we're here.

Can we at least get decent sized rooms to stay in? Please?

Talk to you again tomorrow!
Lan Jingyi

[ We are so sorry for interrupting your regularly scheduled services of people who are more useful at this than Lan Jingyi, who is back looking soaked, for this and that reason. He's got one of the four-crystal pendants hanging from his waistband, for what it's worth. ]

Greetings, Voidtrecker Express, I'll be troubling you.

So was there a reason to only pause for a breather on a world that's apparently helping train us to fight illusion arrays for only three days? I'm all for intense training sessions, but this goes from intense to intensely shortsighted. Are you going to have us keep training onboard? I mean, you could try actually asking, there's a number of people who have to be able to set up arrays that can help with this stuff, were you trying to hint around to it?

Which leads me back to my point. We could stretch our limbs, really move around, and now we're back to this. We didn't even get to sleep off train this whole time! Have you been paying attention to how cramped these spaces are? Tell me you're somehow failing to see all the people who don't fit well on these beds, or how there's only so many quiet rooms, or the whole thing I just figured out, you put a Points Barrier over private rooms to... earn back the points you give us? I don't even understand that anyway, it's the weirdest bribery system I've seen since all it does it recycle back to you the fake currency we never had so that we can wheedle things out of your store? Now we have to wheedle a larger bed for a night out of you? Okay, that's totally not sounding like a scam, great, great.

Look, the chores, those make sense, I'm thankful you don't leave us to starve, the showers are weird but workable, you've got really convenient latrines, and the spring isn't so bad even if it's blazing hot instead of burning cold and full of spiritual energy. But the room sizes. The bed sizes. They can stay stacked, but please! Make them longer! Wider! Give us room to work in rooms, sleep in there too obviously, but use those spaces for more than one function! Or two functions.

Also, most the fish I caught managed to shove into extra spaces in the kitchen, which was nice. Can we get additional food stores? It'd be nice if we can start stocking up whenever it's possible off ship and not have to worry about food.

Write to you again soon,
Lan Jingyi

[ Another proper bow. ]

Dear Voidtrecker Train. Please look into how long most of the people you put on this train live for, and how much time is in a day. And how long they're awake for.

Wait, you know because you put us to sleep! But come on, three days to do anything? With this training thing? You don't learn anything from three days. You learn, like... the basics! And everything helping us to learn is in this place! Are you still gonna whisk us off after tomorrow? How are we gonna teach anyone anything we learn here if it's all, 'hang around this water' and 'go into these caves!'?

This is what I always mean about you! You decide what's best for everyone and never actually work with us. Not that you need to care - as long as we do the job. We're still prisoners of the Voidtrecker Express!

[ is he grumbling, he's ALWAYS GRUMBLING. ]

But even you should want us to do a good job then! Ugh, even if you did take forever to let us get weapons. That are too expensive. Like... can you seriously put more effort into this?

Whatever, that's all for tonight. Complain at ya later.

Thanks for the three days!

Not. That was sarcasm, 'case you couldn't tell. Since you just pick and choose what you listen to and do.

So, how's keeping away from the ministry going these days? You know, the Void Ministry? I know you got boarded forever ago, and then there was that day I was here for - when that message came through and you turned off us being able to understand each other? Real cool. So, was that on purpose? Or was that you just trying to delete the message? It didn't help.

[ Sometimes you're just in a real SNARKY MOOD, TRAIN!!! ]

So, a list of not so great things you do since we're not stuck on the train again! One: You still don't give new people drink bottles or food containers and first aid when they come on. You give lessons on first aid, but don't even give them the stuff to use it? Come on.

Two: You can't just let us have our comms on on-train? What's the problem? What if we just wanna go, 'hey, pal, which car are you on?' and not bug everyone else? You can still hear us if that's the reason for it.

Oh yeah, three: You still BRING us all here! Yeah, I know for some people that's a good thing. But you're not considering what's good for them. That's just an accident, and I'm not giving you ANY points for stuff like that!

[ so shove it!! ]

Four! You won't just give us basic info! Five! You put our lives at risk! Six! We can't watch music videos! Seven! Everything!

...

...

Okay, fine, I'm stopping here for today. But I know there's more to complain about!

Dai shiho.

Thanks again for the trip to Tshering. It's good to stretch our legs a bit more often, you know?

So I was wondering... you know those stones we sent through the river? The ones you gave us? Would you be able to track their progress through the Void... or at least tell if they've reached their destination?

...Anyway, don't be a stranger.

Greetings, Voidtrecker Express, I'll be troubling you.

Well, now we're stuck inside you again. On you. I can't tell, are you the overall consciousness or power for all this or are you? Is the train something separate? Is the train alive?

Anyway, so I saw that message and I have a few questions. Starting with: what's this language even called? The one that you know, or the train knows. Then there's the whole poll, can we go over it? Can we go over how nothing here is giving us more space to live in? Also, what's a clocks? What kennels? How is a room dedicated to dance? If it's a dance room does it come with instructions? Do you have a style of dance unique to trains, is that a thing? Okay so the kennels, we can't have that without a way around it, you know my senior? Wei-qianbei? He can't, with the dogs. It's not a good thing, and Hanguang-jun can't always be there to keep him from seeing or hearing the dogs, right?

Okay but let's get back to these things on your "poll." Really, we do need more room for plants. Have you see how crowded it is? In a good way, okay, I like it, but also there's a bunch of us, and growing things is for food, isn't it? If nothing else, that whole place is tall, can we get a second level of those rectangles with the soil for the plants? Couldn't it be two levels in there?

Art is fair I don't know what to say about that, even I had to learn painting, and some people love it or whatever else is art. Takato draws with crayons, and that has to be art. Games? Don't we have one of those already? I don't get that place personally but it is supposed to be about games, right? Is this a carriage that would play games with us?

Lab... I don't know what that is, but one of my roommates is all for it to make other people be less loud, which is silly, people are always going to loudly complain. So toss that aside, can we talk about a pool? More specifically, a cold pool?

Please, Voidtrecker Express, can we get a spiritual pool if we're going these ways? If you're going to shove us into tiny spaces we should at least have a place to meditate that's freezing cold and full of spiritual energy people can absorb. Yeah, there's that weird hot spring thing, but this is different! I guess you can do a reflection pool too but that seems like a horrible idea when staring into the Void or its reflection is probably about the same thing.

Though really, really, please. Where's the option for better living spaces? This is nuts! I don't care that I'm with multiple people in a cabin, that's fine, that's normal, but we barely have room to breathe, let alone move! I can stretch out and touch every bed at once in there! At the same time! It's ridiculous!

With reluctant respect,
Lan Jingyi

Greetings, Voidtrecker Express, I'll be troubling you.

I noticed the poll still shows up today. You gotta think that's important or why else is it still here. You know my thoughts on this, why not make the greenhouse have a second level? It's tall like the ones holding our cabins, so you know, maybe a walkway around the edge and more soil boxes like those below, and you leave the middle open? The boxes up there can be long side against the walls or something, nothing blocking light or anything. Help us out here!

I still say the pool makes the most sense. Cold pool! Cold pool! Spiritual energy! We're traveling through a Void but I can't believe it's empty, so there's got to be a way, right? Some feedback would be nice, you know, it's all we ask for, along with everything else we ask for, like not being abducted for this in the first place.

But whatever, I'm here, I'm not going to ignore that.

Back to my most common point: the rooms. Bigger. Please? My tail falls off at night. It's dragging on the floor. How does Six even fit on a bed? She's amazing! So tall! These beds are tiny? Too short and narrow! Doesn't everyone deserve to be comfortable?

Ugh, why does this poll feel like it's mocking us all too?

With reluctant admiration for your skills in abduction,
Lan Jingyi

Greetings, Voidtrecker Express, I'll be troubling you.

Day three of the poll. Where do you get your ideas for your poll anyway? Here's an idea: a bunny carriage. You walk in, and there are bunnies everywhere. With a stream through it and a corner growing lettuce fresh and a tree, somehow.

Sounds nice, right? Okay it also sounds like emergency food rations but that's not a bad plan given I don't think most people on you are vegetarian, unlike my sect, but huh.

Okay, nevermind, what about a chicken carriage? It's brilliant! There can be eggs, which we eat! There can be chickens, which we eat! There can be... feathers! Which we can use for all kinds of things. Also isn't chicken poop good for growing things or something, I'm sure that's true.

The point is if we're going to be practical can we do something practical and make this more survivable and not weirdly running down on food supplies, which I hear we get restocked when we're on those places where you lose people and pick up new people. The platforms? Also can I request we have even more rice next time? Rice is important, we all should be eating more, and especially all my seniors who all seem to forget eating is important.

Oh, and right, that idea with the greenhouse place! Make it two levels. Please, train, let us grow more food.

(And keep the chicken carriage in mind.)

With mild frustration,
Lan Jingyi

Greetings, Voidtrecker Express, I'll be troubling you.

Wait so for how long do you make the poll appear, I saw it on a screen earlier again, is it stuck until you decide the poll is over? It's so weird, are you really paying any attention, and how are you deciding this is great when you don't even bribe us in any nice way.

Consider giving everyone a candy for their tiny and sad and narrow bed. One nice hard candy, there on our sad, hard beds. Not that I mind them being hard, that's actually fine. Better for the back. What I do mind is the tiny and sad and narrow part. So yeah, a candy. Give a little sweet back into everyone's lives. If you don't like someone, I don't know, give them a salt block instead.

Okay so back to the poll, I really, really want to know where you get these ideas. Because, clocks. What are these clocks. What is clocks? Dance is so celebratory are we even celebrating here? Though it's probably fun, right, is that an underlying idea? Are these supposed to be fun?

Know what's real fun? An alcohol carriage. Stocked so you can get some whenever, like those drinks from the machine that got shown to me today! Not sure I'm trying them I have exactly three points and I hate that this system is entirely made up but also how we're getting things other than the mysterious stuff that shows up on board.

Also, do you have something against robes? And what are the weird... short undergarments about? Imagine how great everyone would look in robes, where you store everything in your sleeves, front of your robes, your waistband, and in some novels about exciting lives in martial arts wastelands, weapons in your hair.

I hope you've been thinking about what I've been saying! Since the send us home thing isn't on the table, apparently, think: chicken carriage. So useful! Second level to the greenhouse. Also useful! Larger cabins with better beds that fit people and they can even spread out slightly and not fall off their bunk for the ninth time. Such great ideas right!

Seriously you're killing me here, you're already ignoring the concept of spaces can't you borrow the idea of a qiankun pouch and make the cabins large enough we're not all sharing sad tiny narrow short beds next to an equally tiny sad small table. Please? What have we done to deserve being stored like chickens in a coop...

With a deep desire to devour decent chicken,
Lan Jingyi

Greetings, Voidtrecker Express, I'll be troubling you.

The polls gone! I heard that's supposed to mean something after we platform but no one has better information than that, which is annoying. Deeply annoying!

Hey, you know, can we maybe see our homes sometime? I know people have been on here for a year by now, and others of us are like me and this is our first two weeks, but I think we all deserve a glimpse of home. Is there no way to make that happen? Let us just see that things are still okay there? I'm waking up with nightmares of everything being gone and I'd really appreciate if we could have a glimpse of all those people we care about. About our homes. If we want to look! I want to see!

You already don't let me be my full self, so you could at least make some things more comfortable. All these weird inventions you've got, don't you have at least one to check in on our worlds in some way? Or you know the whole cabin thing. I'm not even asking for something for couples which is apparently what happened last time you offered something about doubles, and I don't care, like yay for everyone who has a person here or found one here or a that sucks if they found and lost one but can we, as a whole, have nice livable sleeping spaces?

Why has Wei-qianbei's name been all gold? One of them, the other one is normal. I know what that's supposed to mean but it doesn't mean only one thing, right? Why do people end up leaving? Why do people end up coming? It's a headache, can you offer better explanations? Also, why is no one else here from my world but from at least three other worlds like mine but also not like mine at all? It's weird!

Ugh, whatever, you won't be responding anyway. Let's see if anyone I know shows up tomorrow, and also, wait, can we stop for longer on platform? Enough for two cups of tea to brew and be sipped at leisurely? Two incense sticks burning. Something where we can get a little exercise before we're shoved back indoors on board on threat of death?

Which is what you do, you know that. Even if you're forcing our souls to stay here and keep repairing our bodies, and keep us out of the reincarnation cycles we should be heading toward after a death clean or otherwise. That's rude. Anyone told you that before? It's rude, and scary, because that's not saving people, that's not letting anyone go.

With uncomfortable awareness,
Lan Jingyi

Greetings, Voidtrecker Express, I'll be troubling you.

Flying! Second time I've been able to fly in full form since that stupid limited three day training nonsense that didn't train much at all but was great for fishing!

Hey, can we talk for a moment? You know that thing about seeing home in some way? If nothing else, can't you find a way to let people have that? Yeah, sure, some of us are barely here, some people just showed up, but for your oldest ones, can't you be a bit kinder to them? You've held them hostage from their own lives, and sure, some probably don't care, but enough of them do. I heard something about message pebbles but that seems real one sided, what's that worth? "Hey hope this reaches you miss you I'm still abducted by a vessel that flies through the empty space between the universes, hope to ever see you again!" That's so messed up!

Also, the new carriage? Lab. A lab. I poked around in there with all the people excited about it, and the only interesting thing I saw was how they made tiny blue fire? Anyway, no, don't get it, though sure if we need a not-kitchen to use to make up something that might explode (do we have signal flares here?) it's great to have on hand.

Still, I noticed nothing's changed in the cabins. Not even a candy for all of us! Also it's still short time on the platform, at the very least can we get a bit more? I got to fly some with a handful of people who were into the idea, but it'd be nice to have more time to stretch when we keep being locked up on train and I'm forced to be a tiny child all over again if I want to be in half my natural form.

Which is annoying!

Ugh, fine. Try to be nice to your senior abductees okay? It's hard enough being new, let alone having to deal with how weird the whole "now I want you now I'm sending you home" attitude around here with no warning or reason.

Seems like we're going to be on a mission again soon, which is not an again for me, but for everyone on train longer than I am. When we come back, think you'll do anything nice for us?

No?

Figures.

With general ill ease,
Lan Jingyi
