From: Library
To: Everywhere

[Nita looks rather disheveled - but it's more that her hair and clothes are clearly evident Nita's only been up a little while, than that she looks tired.

Still, her expression is grim.]

Anyone else here who just woke up with a vision, now's the time to report. Mine was- I was walking on clouds-

[Normal enough for her.]

Then I heard wings, something soaring through the fog towards me. It was some sort of bird. Its feathers were out of place, and it was just going to attack me when I woke up.

... Did anyone else get that, or are we getting a range of tasks on our mission tomorrow?

[Nita pauses, glancing down at what's most likely her Manual.]

And for those new here, yes some of us get visions before every mission. It's been pretty reliable.

Also, we can get book summaries if we look up titles here in the Library, whether we already have the books or not. If anyone wants to help me test out that feature's range, lemme know.

Nita, out.

[ The ICP blinks to life from the newly revamped Library, and there is Roland standing about in his usual serious expression, only this time he's dressed with a new robe over his purple shirt. If his eyes look a little dull, or that frown refuses to turn upside down, it might just be your imagination. ]

Hey there. For the benefit of newcomers, or anyone I've yet to formally introduce myself to, my name is Roland. I’ll try not to take up too much of your time, here. But if you can lend me your ears, especially appealing to fellow Team Leads from other colors, I’d like to share a couple of important updates regarding the Voidtrecker’s mission supplies. This idea to allocate and consolidate resources came to our attention thanks to the initial efforts of Lightning from the Red Team, and Tidus from Purple. Please stay tuned here if this interests you. If not, then I guess we'll see each other around the train.

[ Roland nods, gives a breath, then smoothly continues. A practiced task for a tired mind. But nevertheless, professional. ]

( A comprehensive quarterly review! Happy reading! )

[Lea seems to be working on something in the kitchen when he pops on the network, though his message has nothing to do with food.]

Anybody else notice that the names of the months here seem to go in alphabetical order? When I got here it was 'Fiddlesticks', then we had 'Grasshopper', and now we're in 'Horseshoe'. And I bet it goes farther back than that too.

Wonder if there's any particular reason for that? And what the next one might be called, assuming the pattern holds. Igloo? Ice cream? Inchworm?

[ The video starts as Aziraphale pulls his hands away from the screen. He is sat at the small table in one of the sleeper cabins, a pair of round glasses perched on his nose.

He spends a good handful of seconds looking at it with a rather uncertain expression, even starts to reach over again, before he perks up and seems to realize that it is indeed filming. He sits up very straight, clears his throat, and offers a polite smile.]

Ah, here we are. I do hope I've gotten it right this time.

[ Ahem.]

Hello. For those that may not know me, I am Aziraphale, and I have a few questions for my fellow passengers.

[ He picks up a journal, seemingly one of those offered to passengers at the beginning of the month, and leafs through it as he speaks.]

In these past few weeks, I've been gathering some information about the Voidtrain and the Void. While the library is somewhat limited, there do seem to at least be some publications and articles that do fill us in on the history and origin of what exactly it is meant to do.

I do suspect that most of it are things we already know of, such as the existence of the void and void-active and inactive systems, the existence of a Ministry whose mission seems to be to keep an eye on such things.

But there are still many questions. Such as: where exactly did the train we currently travel in come from? Which system? And who took it? Indeed, there's far too much we aren't made aware of.

[ He sets the journal down and picks up a book, holding it up to the camera: The History of the Void Ministry.]

Through some attempts, I was able to get my hands in this book, which explains the origins and mission of the Ministry itself.

[ He turns the book to look at the cover.]

I do believe if we are suspected to be either accomplices or victims of this, well, train, we should at least know what exactly we're being accused of.

There is still, of course, the matter of the missing crew, and the possible implications that they were the ones to...breathe life into this craft, as it were.

[ He flattens his lips, looking vaguely disturbed for a moment.]

A somewhat uncomfortable thought.

[ He pauses. Then he sets the book down.]

I'm willing to share my notes with whoever might be interested. However, if I've missed anything, whether recent or from before I've found myself here, I ask that you do let me know.

I do think that's all for now. Cheers.

In my efforts to expand our medical supplies and capabilities, I want to be able to establish a blood bank. If you are willing to donate blood to be typed and crossed for use in medical emergencies by other passengers on the train, please reply here as I will be making a list. While I am hoping to get as many people as possible, this is VOLUNTEER ONLY. I will not force anyone to donate. Donations will happen after the next platform once I am able to secure the needed equipment and storage facilities.

strawberryprotector

Ichigo Kurosaki of purple team here. I would like to establish a blood bank for the train with a personalized supply for each passenger. In order to store the blood refrigerators, it would mean sacrificing one of the four recovery rooms. Being that this is for the good of the train, would there be any objections from you all?

[Sometime after lunch, the day before the next platform stop, Nita makes her next appearance on the Network.

~~Hey, this could become a regular thing...!~~]

Nita Callahan with Orange Team, here, and I just want to say: if you didn't have to deal with sharing memories while we were on Jema'grethy, you got off easy.

[Have a wry momentary glance, train.]

That said, if you weren't dealing with that, and didn't climb the mountain, there's some important things you'll want to be clued in on. And by 'important' I mean 'important to how and why the Voidtrecker Express got all kinds of screwed up.'

[So... that's a thing.]

I've got transcripts of the memories Enna, Minako, and I received, if you'd rather not experience the memories themselves. Either come see me or Eva if you want those transcripts, or just me if you want a direct memory transfer.

Those who've already seen the memories - what do you think of them, so far? It may sound kind of 'after the fact,' but how are you doing? There were some real heavy matters brought up in them, and if they're at all relevant to what we're going to be dealing with, we'll need to pull ourselves together fast.

That aside: keep what Senku and Ai said in mind when making purchases when our points roll around; one thing you can never have enough of is supplies, and it never hurts to be overprepared.

And that's what we're gonna have to be. Call it instinct, or intuition, or whatever, but it wouldn't be my first time, and I'm pretty sure that applies to a lot of you too.

Take care of each other. Nita, out.

[ Kaiba appears to be spending another late night in the gaming car. He's dressed in the silver and black outfit that's usual for him now, but he appears to be nursing a cup of tea and holding his temple as well. ]

Is anyone else still feeling off after the trip? It's not a headache, and I'm not weak or dizzy, so I don't need to go to the medical car. So don't start that. But it almost feels like a constant low-level state of dreaming. Like that time on the island, when someone or something thought they had any business interfering with our relationships by exposing our private memories.

[ The anger rises in his voice with every word, only to burn out at the end. He groans and flops back into the beanbag chair ]

Did something change, or am I losing my mind here?

[ He's dreading the answer either way, so he's just going to frown at the screen before sitting back. Sorry about the waves of grump, Della. ]

From: Cabin 4:B
To: Everyone

[Nita looks - perhaps to the relief of some - a lot less tired than she has been post-mission. She is holding a journal, rather than her Manual.]

Morning, everyone! This is just to let everyone know that, after Kaiba and I held the election for the remaining council seats, we have our winners!

I'm happy to announce that our new council members are Glorfindel and Gladio!

[And won't Gladio be glad she's not full-naming him on 'live tv,' so to speak?]

Now, I remember that we didn't set a specific date for a next meeting, the last time we had one; fellow council-members, when do you think would be best to have it?

[... Preferably before the next mission, if it's her choice!]

And, assuming all months on this calendar stay at thirty days, just want to remind you all that tomorrow's another platform day, plus when we get our new point tallies.

[So keep Tidus' post in mind for requests on what to get from the shop, basically.]

Think I just need another nap, though...

[And she signs off, shaking her head with a wry smile on her face, in the hopes no one caught that last bit!]

usernamesarecool

[ Always a video with this guy and as he normally does, he fixes his bow tie. ]

Hullo! Not seeing any sign otherwise so I think it's safe to assume we're all back safe and sound. Which is excellent-however this last mission I think took a lot more than normal for everyone so if you were injured, feeling a little more fatigued or just generally off then I'd like you to come by the medical carriage for a quick check up!

I'm very good at it and I promise it won't take but a tick and you can get back to whatever else it is you do on the train.

Just let me know if you're coming and I'll make time.

Oh, I should probably mention, for those that don't know-I'm the Doctor.

[If anyone is near the Luggage Car, they might see a trunk suddenly swing open with a loud TWACK, a foot sticking out from kicking it. One very disgruntled Dairine sits up. Grumbling, she brushes herself off and heads straight for the closest ICP.]

Hey, is the mission still on? What did I miss?

[ In Cabin 2:A, Curufin flails and falls out of his bunk with a crash, as usual when having a prophetic dream. Sorry, roommates! He disentangles his legs from the blankets, gathers himself up from the floor, grins with embarrassment at his long-suffering roomies, and then he scrambles over to the ICP on the little table. ]

Ah. . . good morning, Void Warriors. It seems I've had another premonitory dream, and like the others, it must be about the next mission. There wasn't anywhere near as much detail in this dream as in the others, though, and I don't know what to make of it.

There was just a clamor as of a battle taking place, but the sounds receded. [ Wry laugh. ] I must not have been in that fight, or I'd have known it!

Then suddenly there was a blaring alarm, maybe one of those modern sorts that they put on emergency vehicles or on buildings to warn of tornado weather? I had the feeling that some danger was approaching, even aside from the fact of the alarm. And then it screamed out again.

That's all. [ He scratches his head in puzzlement. ]

Jeez, I need some coffee.

[We have two people making a post together today: Nita Callahan and Seto Kaiba. Both look fairly serious.]

Hey, everyone, this is Nita again.

And I'm Seto Kaiba. We come to you today as council representatives. We want to apologize for the delay in dealing with the recent unpleasantness, and we’re working to ensure it doesn’t happen again. But to do that, we’re going to need help.

We’ve lost a lot of people this last week - unfortunately, that includes council members. We do know there was a decision ready before then, but moving forward we’re looking for interest from either runners-up from last time or people new here who are interested now in joining the council.

We have two open slots, and there are no age limits to apply. All we ask is that you make a case for why you want to be part of our civilian leadership. Your duties will be to attend monthly meetings, with the occasional emergency meeting, to listen to your fellow passengers’ needs and advocate for them, to resolve train conflicts, some more...serious than others, and to take criticism for unpopular decisions.

[Nita shoots Kaiba a wry look at the phrasing in the last bit there, but lets it pass and shakes it off, turning back to face the screen.]

If you’re interested in running for council, it’d be most useful to make a post talking about why you see yourself as doing best as a council member; if you want to nominate someone else, just come tell either one of us. Leave me a message in Cabin 4-B-

I’m available in cabin 3-D if that’s more convenient for you. And if you’re nominated by someone else, we’ll ask you whether you want to be on the ballot first. No one’s being drafted against their will here. With that said...good luck to all, and we’ll update you within a few days.

((ooc: for reference, current council is Tony Stark (lead), Sarai, Bucky, Curufin, Feanor, Nerdanel, The Doctor, Eva, Nita, and Kaiba))

[ Broadcasting from the Dressing Carriage, a young man dressed in a purple shirt and coat comes onscreen. Though this might be his first time showing his face on the ICP for all to see, he carries himself with a practiced ease that can only come from years of ~~televised~~ experience. He may even come across as a little too stiff and serious, shoulders back and chin up, voice sure and certain. ]

[ From time to time, those watching this broadcast might even see a certain Spider dart in and out of the ICP's periphery, eyes shining in the dim light. ]

Hello and good day to my fellow Voidtrecker passengers. I have already met some of you, but for those I have yet to introduce myself to, my name is Roland Crane. I ask only for a few moments of your time as I read to you the following statement on behalf of a proactive citiz - ah, member of the train. [ His eyes dart down from time to time as he reads from a piece of paper. ]

( A state of the Voidtrecker nation address! )

From: Cabin 4-B
To: Everywhere

[Nita seems to have improvised a desk, settling back into routine with her Manual and various journals - but she's quick to prove she has something else on her mind:]

Hi; I'm Nita Callahan. I haven't met all of you, especially those who just joined, but I've been, uh... away for the past week, and I'm trying to catch up as best I can.

[So if friends haven't seen that she's back yet - surprise?]

But something came up last night when I was talking with Tidus, and I was thinking we should organize how we ask the train questions.

[Nita holds up one of her courtesy-of-the-train pencils.]

We got answers for what voidsickness was after all the hubbub we made those first few days after we saw that report from the Void Ministry, right?

And the train seems to go by popular opinion on what to address next, hence the polls, but those options are limited.

But, if we all send in the same - or just similar - points to the Feedback and Suggestions page, what we could do is get ourselves some responses to certain questions or problems faster.

What do you all think? And if you have suggestions, I'm keeping a tally for basic themes; I'll come back to this same time tomorrow and let you all know which ones got the most demand.

[Though she won't be surprised if people keep track for themselves, either; this is a public Network post.]

Then we push for answers to those on the Suggestions page, at as close to the same time as we can mange.

(OOC: Nita ICly informing people what the results are will be handwaved; OOCly I'll keep a tally of whatever gets brought up and edit that into this post.)

[If it's not clear how Excited Eva is just from the grin, it's in her voice. Bright happy - E X C I T E D. Like, near bouncing off the walls level of excitement and it's probably a good thing she's in the Garden Car.]

Hey so! Two days from now, me and Jonouchi-san'll be having a pokemon battle in the first Gym around noonish and we're gonna broadcast it, hopefully, to the Cinema, with Kuroba-kun as cameraman. Well, this is assuming I can get Lele hooked up. [There's a brief look at the neon green porygon2 by her side before she grins again.] So! Tech heads! Can we find a way to get it hooked into the movie projector for a short while? Same with temporarily making Kuroba-kun Roro's user and increasing the range Roro can move away from him? Though I think that's more a coding issue...

[It is very possible to do both- and it is a coding issue with her phone.]

Oh, right! For those that don't know, a pokemon battle is, first and foremost, a form of exercise for pokemon and it's as safe as we can make it for them. If they don't want to fight, they won't and we really can not make them. Anyway, the last thing we want is someone hurt because of a stray attack; pokemon are built to handle the energies being tosses around. We aren't. So, if you want to watch, please do it from the Cinema.

It's not going to be a long battle, either. Probably no more than ten minutes tops.

(OOC: It is possible to hook Lele in, but it will involve a level of breaking into the panelling behind the screen and breaking open the porygon2 (Eva will do that for you) and then connecting up the wiring. The more people helping, the faster it'll go. The same with what she's asking for her phone.)

enthunder

Just doing a check - how many of you can make some kind of portable healing item? Like... a potion or stimulant, or, dunno, a cake, or something that'll heal injuries quickly. Missions are getting pretty dangerous, and with it liking to split the teams up so much, I figure it'd be good to start thinking about back-up plans in case a team's healer is taken out of commission or ends up 'visiting the control coach' during mission week.

[ Like her, for example. ]

Just... gimme an idea of what you can make, and what you'd need for it, I guess. Reply to standard coach, or come and talk to me.

[ She reaches towards the screen, then pauses. ] Oh, right. I've finished writing up my notes of the missions so far, so if you want to come and give 'em a look, get an idea of what you'll be doing in the future, that's fine too.

[ Bwip. ]

[ About ten minutes later, she's back: ] Just repeating something Tidus said - it'd be good to know the same for defensive supplies. Stun grenades, nets, deployable barriers. Magic or whatever else that does the same thing.

Hey, all you wild animals! If we haven't met before, the name's Della Duck. Now, I'm not tooootally sure if the calendar here really aligns with what time it was back home or even if time has real meaning at all here BUT ANYWAY! Far as I'm concerned, today is today and today is my birthday!

Now don't go worrying about parties and presents and stuff - I just got here, so we're all kinda too new for that. Instead, what I want is to make a whole bunch of new friends. So if you're up to it, give me three interesting details about you! I'll go first.

I'm a mom! I've got three boys, triplets, and they're the best.
I've got a twin brother! So technically it's his birthday too, and once again I missed out on the chance to celebrate with him... haaaa ha ha.
I'm an ace pilot! If it flies, I can control it!

Now it's your turn, give me the deets!

[In all fairness Thea hit a wrong button.]

Parties are traps, can't risk it.

loveandduty

Hello everybody. It is I that beautiful girl who asks questions every so often here to invite you to a party I am going to be arranging.

When will it be happening you ask? Day 19 of Fiddlesticks~ I had been planning this for a few days now and figured to wait till new arrivals were here to actually say anything. But there's you go a little something fun for everyone.

[She goes unusually quiet for a moment before she finally speaks up again.]

But I also am continuing my whole ask a lot of questions thing because a young girl has to know and would like to get to know people here. My question this time is... sort of obvious considering it's me but...

Who do you love and why? Now, this is very different than the question about cuteness and hotness. The difference is love can come in many forms. What I want to know is who are the people you care for and why they are special. They can be romantic love, familial love, or even love of your friends who you are close to. I will allow loves who aren't here as well because as I said this is to get to you know.

I look forward to your answers~
