Hi, everyone. Nozomi here!

Listen, I know we're all feeling a little down, so I was able to purchase something to make our days go by faster: mistletoe!

I'm sure it's getting close to Christmas somewhere and mistletoe's one of the best ways to get into that spirit! I had enough so that each car besides the engine is able to have one to have hanging around...

[she takes a thoughtful pose]

...wow, I hadn't thought about that. Odd.

[She waves it off]

Anyway, the only thing I ask of you is to not destroy them if you see them. I know some of you are oh-so-muscular and hyper-macho and must go on a destroying spree to protect yourself, but just ignore them, okay? I'm sure the train'll get rid of them after Christmas. Just have fun!

[She blinks as she realizes something]

Oh, that's right, some of you don't know what they do - if two people are caught under the mistletoe, they have to kiss! Use it for your romantic moments or to play pranks or whatever!

Action

[And once the feed ends, Nozomi's going to go inspect some of the mistletoe to make sure they're still there. You can find her in the kitchen, the dresser, the training gym or the spa before moving on to another area.]

[Man, she'd hoped she could just write this or something, but evidently she's not that lucky. But it's fine, she can deal with just voice.]

I have... a question, I suppose. Or a hypothetical may be more appropriate. Say that someone is... unaccustomed to particular mannerisms between people beyond the surface level. And you are someone that if you interfere their heels would dig in more and make things worse.

Let us say, as well, that you fear they will become an impenetrable fortress and that just will not do. And you are trying to help with something they are unaccustomed to and not remotely trained in.

How would you go about this particular situation? [Only like one person will know the reason for this if they read everything properly. But she's quietly hoping that someone else will not.]

Good evening, fellow passengers,

I hope this message finds you well.

Foremost, you must forgive me in any mistakes I may make in sending this address to you all, as I'm certainly not used to sharing my thoughts in such a way. I'm most definitely more of a fan of the classic handwritten letter.

I was going over the upstairs library collection, so generously donated by other passengers - and you're welcome add to it yourself), when I found myself wondering about the extensive possibilities of literary works to be found in the countless worlds we not only come from, but the ones we visit.

Since there's scarcely a chance to explore such things in the worlds we stop at, wrought with conflict as they tend to be, I figured the easier option would be to simply ask:

What are your favorite literary works from your world? What are they about? Which are considered timeless classics?

I eagerly await your response.

Your curious fellow passenger,
Aziraphale

Oh, also, if anyone's interested in submitting anything to the library, I have provided clean notebooks and writing material in the far right nook in the upper floor of the library. I'm also available to provide custom book binding services.

[ Quick and to the point; anyone who knows Jiang Cheng could probably figure out that 1) he's not used to this format yet and 2) he has no time to mince words at the moment. ]

What name would you call a rabbit?

I want suggestions.

Please.

[Rapunzel seemed a bit nervous, even going as far as to plaite a small potion of her hair. She figured she wanted to ask about this, but deep down she felt like this was also going to come across as rude or something.]

Um...this might seem a bit unusual but... [She paused a little bit longer.] We got the lab nearly two weeks ago and so the things were moved from the Quiet Carriage right? Do you think it would be okay if... we change that area so we can have the art supplies there?

I mean... we don't have anywhere currently and I think it would be a nice gesture at least. But it might also not be great depending.

[She soon sighed a little bit.]

Maybe it's not a good idea... But I just want people to be able to enjoy doing art. That's all.

jinlingers

[ Jin Ling puts this off for a while, because, he doesn't really know what he wants to say or if he wants to say anything. The last time he tried to get advice from the train it ended up not particularly a grand idea. ]

So I won't ask about how to erase memories again because I don't need more lectures and offers of brain surgery.

But, people say you just move on and get over stuff.

What if you just can't seem to?

[ And you end up isolating yourself off and not knowing how to get out of it and maybe you don't want to get out of it...

But you kind of do. ]

Also, does anyone want to share some wine with me?

[ He is perfectly old enough for it. ]

creepyoldguy

[Beetlejuice has just discovered a way to get a lot of attention all at once. He's singing a rousing rendition of Poisoning Pigeons in the Park, in his rasping, gravel and cigarette inspired tones.]

Now that I have your attention---any requests?

oceantier

[There's a blue lady on the comm's screen, not looking like she completely trusts it -- or that she quite likes being so visible. She has something to ask, though (as much as it feels like an exploitable vulnerability to ask) so she stays. And it's fair that others should see who's talking.]

Hello.

[. . . Knowing how to start is harder than anticipated, and considering the last time she was on the comm was to apologize, it feels even more awkward. She swears she can feel eyes looking at her. Unconsciously, her arms tuck into a cross.]

I heard there are "missions" every month. Where we're supposed to infiltrate, or something attacks.

. . . This time there was water in the city. In the pipes. And the sewers. But people say it's not always a city. Locations are different every time.

I need to be able to access some when it isn't there naturally.

I need . . . help.

[Silence for a moment. That was extremely uncomfortable to say, and the next question isn't much better for her.]

Also . . . I'd like to know what people do to find their own space. Where they can sometimes be alone. When . . . they need to.

. . . Thank you.

[ When the feed turns on, Aziraphale is sitting at one of the sleep cabins, giving the ICP an uncertain look for a couple of seconds, before he clearly realizes that he, indeed, has turned it on correctly. (Never mind that he has definitely done this before and has had it explained to him even more times.)

He then sits very neatly, spectacles resting over his nose, and smiles very politely.]

Hello. For those that may not known me, I am the- [Slight stumble, but he carries on.] I am Aziraphale, your fellow passenger for the last few months or so.

I'm speaking to you today to present a proposal to anyone who might be so inclined as to help with a little project.

You see, some of you may have remembered when the train lacked any kind of proper space dedicated to literature and the printed word. Indeed, the moment the library car was introduced, it was a rather grand upgrade on what little space we had available before, and I'm sure many of you, like myself, were excited to see just what we would get our hands on.

Well, much to my disappointment - and yours, I'm sure - the space was quite devoid of anywhere near the appropriate number and variety of books it deserved. While the lower floor doe carry certain types of reading material, the upper floor, while rather well prepared, sits rather empty so far.

So, that being said - after some discussion with other fellow passengers, I propose that we take matters into our own hands.

Besides the opportunity to donate your own books you may have purchased yourself - which I certainly understand is quite the sacrifice to make and it is more than understandable that you would hesitate in doing so -, I have prepared some materials for those that may want to contribute their own writings to fill those depressingly empty shelves.

Whether you'd like to give your own account of your own personal experiences, or your own worlds, cultures, perhaps simply tales you're privy to - or even your own retelling of your own folk lore-, everyone is encouraged to pick up a pen and put their own voice to paper.

If you'd rather contribute something else, I would suggest perhaps poetry, or fiction of your own making.

You may find notebooks and writing material on the first floor of the library car, in the far left corner table.

Thank you for your time, and have a wonderful day.

[ A pristine smile, and off goes the feed.]

--

[ TL;DR: Aziraphale was very annoyed that the Nice part of the library appeared on the train empty. To fix that, he's piled notebooks and pens on one of the tables up there and encourages people to write things to add to the sad empty shelves.

EDIT: Regardless of whether your character interacts with Aziraphale or anyone else about this, you CAN donate stuff to the train library, which is neat!]

adropofsunlight

So... is everything back to normal?

[It was certainly something that happened. But now she does have a lot on her mind and for the time being, Rapunzel was pretty much keeping this to voice. She felt like that was a good idea at the moment at least.]

I want to ask a couple of things. First of all, can those who were affected tell me what exactly happened to you. I know that some were changed into children, but I wanted to see if there was more to it or not.

Second of all. Has the void ever potentially used another's ability to cause something to happen? I'm not sure how to explain the question beyond can the voice mix with another's abilities to cause things like what happened?

nocawsforconcern

[The feed opens up with... a far-too-close zoom-in on Enna's eye. But then once she's satisfied it's on, she leans back, and nods to herself.]

Hello! So, Vee did that game where everyone got to ask it three questions. And I thought it seemed kinda fun. It would be a fun way to get to know everyone here. So I think it should be a game for everyone to play.

If you can do this.... Caw, ICP? Thingy. And talk to people. Let people ask you three questions and use it to get to know people! And even if you're the kind of person who doesn't care about getting to know people, it's still worth trying, because if we're all on teams and going on missions together, the more we know about each other, the better we can work together. Tactics, battle strategy, abilities, knowledge, strengths and weaknesses... And things like personality, history, all of that. The more we know about each other, the better we'll be.

Ready? I'll start!

...my experiment in beer brewing was a success and I think after the voidstorm we might need it.

After the draughts I've set aside for certain interested parties it's first come first serve. If the Halloween party wants some, I'll bring a keg.

runicfeathers

[Willow's had this thought in her head for a while now and is curious with all the people on the train from different worlds, so she's finally getting brave enough to ask, even if she looks a little nervous on video.]

What are your views on deities? Are they real or are they fake?

[there's a pause before she gives her own input, getting her thoughts together properly.]

Gods in my world are... more concepts of the Mortal races of Rivaersa, as they do not truly exist themselves. Unless you count the planet herself, but most agree she's less a god, and more a living planet. We Immortals have become the idea of Gods, as we are as ancient as Rivaersa herself. The most ancient race, the Tharsi, are the closest to godly beings as any would get in my world; but again, they are not gods themselves, just a powerful and ancient race that spread knowledge through my world's inhabitants. Many "gods" of my world are merely the ancient Tharsi that bestowed knowledge upon the peoples, or any of the other ancient peoples and races. Mortals seem to take comfort in designating godly status to these ancients, which many of us find... strange and awkward at times.

[ 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.

myblueskies

Hello everyone! Um it's Romeo here! [He grins into the camera.] I got a question.

It's not an emergency or anything but does anyone know how to make holy water? It's got to be properly magic holy water and not just water that you pray on... Miss Merciless made it before for me but she's gone now...

[He is quiet a moment.] I had some that I bought from my world as well but I used that too... I can buy some more! But if anyone can make it I can buy you something nice instead because I got lots of points so I can get you yummy food or something you want from your home or even an animal!

madcuriosity

Hello? Oh ah, I beg your pardon. [Alice has never made any sort of announcement before, she has only ever responded to them.]

That is, I was wondering if I could take some of your time, for just a moment. My name is Alice Liddell, how do you do? ... Ah yes, there is another Alice Liddell on the train, she's the older me... or well, I'm the younger her since she was on the train first. Mr. Stark said that might be confusing so you can also call me Minnie, if you like. He says it's the same name as a cute Mouse Queen but I suppose it could also be "Mini Alice" if you like.

But oh um, that isn't what I would like to ask... mostly because that isn't a question, the first thing I said.

The greenhouse, which is the actual garden rather than the garden car... do we take flowers from the planets we visit and put them in the greenhouse?
