[Allen was quietly sitting juggling, his eyes not even looking at where they were going. Around him sat familiar faces of Timcampy; sitting on his head as usual and nuzzling his hair getting settled. Link jr or for those who might know Pokemon well enough Minccino seemingly playing with his shoulder length hair as if he was trying to beat it up by trying and failing to put it up.

The last one around him was Popplio who was watching eagerly for him to toss her a ball. Allen smiled as he soon did while still keeping another two going and she balanced what was thrown at her on her nose. After a moment the young man stopped, there was a reason he did this after all.]

I know when we get to new platforms that we have a welcome leaflet thing but... I figured I would ask doe it explain to those who aren't used to world-hopping what to expect like... there will always be something that happens every so often? Or... you have to adapt to the way the world we end up on for missions.

I figured I would ask because if there isn't anything there really should be so that we don't always have to explain and surprise people with it and that they can be informed. Though I also am curious to see for those who have been to more than one place, not counting the worlds we go to on the train and what might have been a common thread.

[Soon Popplio was nudging his hand as she wanted to play a little more.]

That is all I wanted to ask really.

Yup. The castle pretty much ran things there.

[Yes, she knows that sounds weird, but after three years of it, the strangeness kinda wore off, leaving Dairine with mixed feelings. Mostly annoyance.]

It sucked.

So you went from a castle deciding things... to a train that decides things.

Pretty much.

Honestly, despite being more comfortable and convenient, the castle was worse.

I agree that with the places I have been, the train has been a lot nicer than other places.

But now I have to wonder why I think this...

Hmm. [Dairine thinks about it for a moment.]

I think it's cause the train's been... more honest about the whole thing? We're told that we were brought here to help other worlds, and what do you know, it brings us to planets that seem to need help. Trips are on a regular schedule, so you at least have an idea of when things'll get busy. And the train's SCP system even warns us when the risks are high, so it seems to care at least a little.

Compare that to Cair Paradisa, where we had no idea why we were there. Things got shook up at least once a month, but at random and good luck guessing what it'd be. No one knew why until the end, only that the castle was likely to blame.

Yeah that tended to be a pattern where I went to. Not knowing why and not really getting anything back. But even if the train is being somewhat open about it, which is good honestly... I think apart of me wonders if there is something underneath that. But that could also be because I am way to use to previous worlds giving every little minus one but then there was still a whole lot we didn't understand.

That's definitely a worthwhile question. Sure, the train does provide us some information, but we still don't know what's up with the conductor or the Void Ministry. Any attempts at direct communication only results in silence, and we're still not sure if that's because the train doesn't want to talk or is afraid of something.

Or a combination of the two. It could be so afraid so it doesn't want to talk for that reason. But that is something we can only really guess.
