Status Check and Dream Review! [OTA]
Video (Several hours after everyone's awake again.)
From: Cabin 4-B
To: Everywhere
[Despite having turned one of the cabin's ICP units on, Nita is still writing in her own Manual in plain view of the camera.]
Anxiety dreams - what were those creatures anyway? They looked like they were made of wings-
[While from this angle the writing isn't clear, and given it's in the Speech it's a gamble if your character can make sense of individual syllables at all, it's obvious Nita is grouping details into lists.
Nita looks up, brown hair fuzzed from sleep as if the past day had been normal, like she'd just slept through the night instead of a whole day.]
Hey, all. I wanted to check with you - does anyone else remember that falling dream? Not the ones with flying, though there were a lot of those - but where you're lying back on something, just watching the sky, and then there's-
[Nita breaks off, shaking her head.]
It's not clear now, but it was like everything shattering. Like a dark version of the Big Bang, if I had to use an analogy, with everyone going everywhere. Then there was screaming, and I woke up.
Did anyone else get that?
[Nita pauses, considering.]
Oh, and if anyone was in the game car when the breach happened, mind telling me what it looked like? Or if anything like this has happened before, with the Void. That'd be good to know, too.
[Nita scratches down a few more lines.]
So, just in case we haven't met yet, I'm Nita Callahan, I'm in Cabin 4-B, and I'd really appreciate some kind of context for this!

no subject
[And Nita sighs.]
If what they said on the leaflet's any indication, no one knows or has any record of them. But if it's beyond even spaceflight, it's bound to be specialized technology, the sort of thing people keep secret.
no subject
That's what she had believed. But now Nita was saying. This could be a secret Void train. Interesting.
It might explain why they had been kidnapped.
no subject
I mean, if there are worlds who know about this whole thing as.. I don't know, an industry, some volunteer organization, then they sure are news to me!
[Nita sounds more than a little annoyed, mostly because the idea sounds very familiar to her; being out of the loop is only nice until you know there's a loop to be in!]
no subject
Though there did be being a man who used to be being here. Trains like this did be existing where he did be being from. He did be working on one.
He did be leaving though.
no subject
[Nita is both impressed and disturbed. How much did this man know? Did he leave like any other passenger, like those people did at the station? Or had his departure been more mysterious?]
What was his name? And- did he mention void travel on trains specifically, or just through space?
no subject
He did be being an officer on a train though and he did be working hard to be figuring out what all of this did be being about.
no subject
Did he have any success, in figuring out what was going on?
no subject
[Maybe leaving them behind had been the easiest way.]
no subject
No way of knowing now, if that's the case.
[But boy, if he does come back...!]
Still, if he had to leave on his own, without getting to share anything with the rest of you, that's kind of unfair too, isn't it?
no subject
It was just stupid. The whole thing.]
no subject
Nothing to do but keep on keeping on, is there? Can't find any answers if we all just give up on it.
[Though, there IS the notion that you can only find something you're looking for when you stop looking...]
no subject
no subject
Just what's available on the leaflets, or...?
[Or was it like the secret hiding places, where you had to discover them yourself?]
no subject
no subject
[Nita is genuinely surprised, and is annoyed about that because she feels she shouldn't be.]
That's a big change. Which cars did you have to start with?
no subject
Those had appeared later. It as strange, but it wasn't like she really knew how trains worked.
no subject
Did it just pick up new cars at the stations, then? Like all the other supplies?
[Nita's puzzling over just how the train could order entire carriages... is there an entire list of Voidtrecker stock, somewhere?]
Though, that's another thing; why wasn't the medical car there to start with? Did anyone already know medicine or have healing abilities, when you first started out?
no subject
Priestess Lightning can be healing. She did be being with us from the beginning.
no subject
So everyone has to get off at each station? Even if it's just to meet the people we're picking up?
[Nita nods in response to the second answer; she's met Lightning on the Network, if not necessarily more in-person than at mealtimes by this point.]
At least there's always been something...
[She still doesn't look pleased by the minimal supplies, though.]
no subject
[It had rained this time too, but she had gone out to meet people. But that other time had been just after the goblin world and she had been sick of rain.
She was always sick of rain. It was stupid.]
no subject
[Nita's just trying to make sense of this, here. Even if it turns out it doesn't make sense.
She's just like that.]
Okay, yeah, I can imagine that getting old, if it's like that at every stop.
... Or just wet at all the stations, anyway.
no subject
[Everyone didn't get off every time, and things still changed.]
It do no always be being raining. But when it do be being it do be being stupid.
no subject
Anyone with weather control abilities on the train? Maybe we could ask the rain to stop, next time we have to deal with it.
no subject
She shrugged.] If there do be being someone who can be controlling the weather then they have been being quiet about it.
no subject
But talking to the rain's not the same as stopping or redirecting it at its source.
[Weather wizardries are not her specialty, alas.]
