Heeeeeeelllllloooo you beautiful people~

I the wonderful Minako Aino here with a few things I need to say. I believe these are of the utmost importance.

[At least to her, not so much to other people.]

First of all... I think we should honestly give the train an official name? Something we can all call it when we need to bother him for something which leads me to my next thing...

We need to bother the train. I am calling for people to gather together and as the many ask for one thing and one thing only... Rooms for couples because it's needed~ Though I have taken one of the Quiet rooms for couples private use until then, but join with me and we shall keep it up until the train gets annoyed.

[She gives a small wink briefly.]

But as I stated, I have picked out a quiet room for couples and will arrange to get curtains put in because someone said doing that is possible. Give me a few days and it should be ready by them... maybe. [She paused for a brief moment.]

Finally, my door is always open for those who need love advice or help in any way. I am after all the love expert on this train.

[iamnotgod]

While I confess not to needing love advice-

[He just isn't interested in people in that way, okay? People are perfectly interesting without romance getting involved, to his way of thinking!]

I would be happy to help set up the quiet rooms with curtains. And as for giving the train a name - perhaps, if it is not volunteering a more colloquial designation, it does not want one?

[Look at SXT-246, for example.]

[Audio]

[loveandduty]

Thank you for offering to help. But as for the train, I just think that we should at least have something to call it other than just train.

[sos_pilot]

I'm all for naming this bad boy! It needs something really cool. Like...

"The Dimension-Dominator!"

[loveandduty]

The Dimension Dominator. I will make sure to add that to the list which is right now... Just this one. Someone named it Thomas just a short while ago... So I wonder if I should add that to.-

[waywardking]

Can you annoy the train?

[He's...still trying to wrap his head around the train being at all sentient.]

audio

[loveandduty]

You never know unless you try and I am going to try.

[dredefulchilde]

We should call it George.

[loveandduty]

Geroge, huh? Interesting choice. Another being added to the list.

[tinkerheart]

Doesn't it already have a name? The Voidtrecker Express. It's written on the side. In gold letters for better contrast.

[A pause. A very ominous pause.]

And stop treating it as if it were alive. It's not a pet. [Another pause.] And this is just creepy.

[So that's his problem...]

[loveandduty]

That makes it sound like a delivery company more than a name.

[Minako is just weird in general.]

I mean... We don't know whose driving it or if anyone actually is driving it right?

video

[nocawsforconcern]

What's a 'love expert'? That sounds weird.

I thought 'Voidtrecker' was the name. Is that not the name? If it's not, we need to name it right away.

Re: video

[loveandduty]

It's not that weird. It just means I have a vast understanding of love and can help with problems other people might have and don't know how to deal with them.

I mean it could be its name, but the whole name just makes me think of a delivery company.

[strawberryprotector]

Trainy McTrainface? Like the boat that got named Boaty McBoatface?

[ooc: He's only half joking]

[Audio]

[iamnotgod]

Pardon me, but, what year are you from?

I ask only because that sounds like the sort of naming I would have borne witness to.

[You can count on people on the Internet to invoke all sorts of silly names!]

It is still 2012 on the Earth I am from, if that helps at all.

[loveandduty]

I mean... I did nickname it trainy myself because I didn't know what to call it.

[achickenformylove]

If others wish to name the train, then I don't see an issue with it.

Yes. I do agree. Being able to stay with my husband and wake up together would be appreciated.

[loveandduty]

Can staying in the Quiet car actually do that though? I thought no matter where one was you get put back in your cabin in the morning.

[goingthroughaphase]

Huh...that's...probably a good thing to request.

[ While she knew people on the train were probably having sex, she hadn't really thought about it. But having a private place to do that was good for everyone, if only so someone didn't accidentally phase walk in on a couple. ]

As for a name for the train, how about Comet?

[ Since it travels through space. Get it? ]

[loveandduty]

Exactly it is. For many reasons.

[Mostly thew fact that they have to really go out of thier way to even get that time alone and she felt like they needed a place for that alone time. But she probably will need to think of how to not have people accidentally walk in on someone. Signs outside might be a good idea?]

Coment, huh? I mean we travel through a void... it works.

voice

[mimidaeia]

The train's "official name" is "Voidtrecker Express".

voice

[loveandduty]

That still makes it sound like a delivery company though. Plus, I figured it would be easier to have a much shorter name anyway.

[adregem]

[ Train names aside, one other thing catches Roland's attention. He looks quite serious, pondering it, in fact. ]

I can definitely see the need for a private room for couples, given the way the train's built. But wouldn't a curtain be too inappropriate? Why not explore something slightly more discreet? [ Is he really using his big brain powers for this? YES. Yes he is. ] Soundproof materials, for example. Something we could make or buy at the onboard shop, to cover the area.

[loveandduty]

The curtains are because one side of the Quiet room is made of glass or essentially a whole glass wall. Someone who had changed one Quiet Room used curtains that didn't break the glass.

[video]

[singerofspells]

Wouldn't it be better to call it a nickname? The train might already have a name, even if 'Voidtrecker Express' isn't it.

Also, why limit the request to couples? Not all species pair off exactly.

Re: [video]

[loveandduty]

I guess it would be a nickname since someone stated that Voidtrecker Express is its name, but I still think it makes it sound like a delivery company.

As for the reason for the request of couples is simple. It's about intimacy. If they want to be close in that way they have to basically maneuver around Cabinmates, make sure they don't walk in, and all that jazz.

Though if there are exceptions where there are certain things that people need to do alone there are other quiet rooms to claim now, but one of them is simply for that purpose or will be sorted to be that way.

Voice

[10billionpercent]

I'm not interested in any of this, but if you're looking for a name, how about Janus?

[Oh no, more mythology references.]

Voice

[loveandduty]

Janus?

[only_one_wei]

I second the appreciation for a nice place for couples to spend some time together!

Of course, I'm the other half of the Lan Zhan/Wei Wuxian pair, so there you are.

As for names, how about Lil' Carrot, since it seems to like them so much this month?

[loveandduty]

Yeah, but then that will change next month, so the name then makes no sense.

I mean sounds cute though.

I'm so sorry, she really is this dumb

[grannyofthebolt]

"Why would couples need a place to be alone? Being a couple means they aren't alone to begin with. Unless they need a place to fight and not bother anyone else."

[loveandduty]

I mean alone as in just the two of them so they can do things couple do in private. You know the old hanky panky.

voice

[silentwoof]

...I'm down for bothering the train.

[ It sounds like she's talking VERY up close. ]

Re: voice

[loveandduty]

That's great, glad to have you on board with it,

Video

[hotheadwarmheart]

Just a thought, but ya know, if we want the train to be more inclined to like us, maybe we shouldn't only send messages to it when we want something. I mean, I know I wouldn't like a person much if they only talked to me when they wanted me to give them stuff.

As for the nickname thing, how about something simple, like V-T? Short, easy to remember, and it sounds more like the sort of nickname you'd give a person, instead of like a name for a pet or a cartoon character.

Re: Video

[loveandduty]

You have a very good point, though it's hards when it only has the same reply over and over. Though that would mean we should talk to it regardless, right?

Oh, V-T sounds cool.
