[The inspectors are gone and Ignis is breathing a sigh of relief. However, now that they're gone, he decides to check on his team.]

Members of the blue team, this is Ignis. Please report in and let me know you're alright.

[He takes a deep breath before continuing. It's an odd sort of feeling, but this is something that he'd discussed privately and there was no time like the present in order to get started on it.]

Tony, Raven, Reigen, Renee, and Evie please tell me all of you are fine as well.

I'm okay.

I didn't like those people. The way they made the whole train feel...it was wrong. But they're gone, right?

[She can't see it, but Ignis closes his eyes feeling some relief.]

It was quite the experience.

[Considering those suits reminded him of Niflheim Magitek troopers and for a brief moment he'd been panicked that he'd somehow put the entire train in danger.]

I don't quite know if they're completely gone. One can only hope that it is so.

I don't know if this is going to make sense to you, but everything feels off now.

Like there's something else to worry about, but the trouble is I have no idea what.

Never discount your intuition.

[This news troubles Ignis, but he definitely believes her.]

If you get a stronger sense of what it is, please do share what you find out. In the meantime we can just try to be prepared as best we can.

I will. I will definitely be keeping my eyes and ears open. I don't know if you've heard it, but the strange singing...I still hear it between the cars.

I was hoping it'd be gone with the disappearance of the inspectors. But, apparently not. Maybe this part of the universe just has a weird song-like sound to it?

[ So many doubts are being had, here. ]

[This news of singing doesn't bode well.]

Singing? I thought I heard something like crying but no I hadn't.

[Odd and eerie, kind of like the spooky things Renee had mentioned for her favourite time of year right? Was this something to do with that holiday?]

I may be off here myself, but this sounds like something to do with a thing I was told called Halloween. I highly doubt that would be held in space however.

[It's the only theory he had.]

[ There's a small 'hmm' from Evie, and then some silence as she thinks things over. Just a few moments. But... ]

I don't know how people handle Halloween in other universes. For all I know, a lot of places might not have it? Maybe this is just the equivalent here?

Not to mention, I don't know how the calendar here matches up with ones from our separate homes. It's hard to figure out. I'm not discounting your theory, however. I think it's a good one.

Things that are unnerving and eerie seem to fit the mode. Renee had been quite helpful in giving me the rundown.

[From Evie's reaction she at least knows of Halloween.]

The calendar does seem to have discrepancies.

[Ignis has been through scarier things, but this all seems to fit. He's not scared for himself, he's more mad now because two of his team members are shaken as are his friends.]

They certainly do, but where I'm from, it usually just means haunted houses. Costumes, some purchased from and made by me.

[ Irrelevant, but whatever. ]

Stories by a fire. A general feeling of terror without there being real danger. Like the high plummet from a roller coaster. You know there isn't any danger, that you're fine and strapped in. But it's still terrifying.

This? This was the real thing, I think. That sense of dread I woke up with seemed to extend to my cabin-mates, so I'm certain it went to the others on the train, too.

[ And that sense hasn't gone away. ]

[He's nodding as Evie goes on. Ignis has felt the dread too but he's not going to fall prey to it until he finds the source. If it was the inspectors, that might mean that they're still aboard. Six knew their presence had unnerved him.]

That feeling seemed to permeate the entire train I'm sure. Once we get out of our rooms I'm going to try to locate the source if it's still about.

[And get rid of it of course.]
