This is Thanatos. I am Death Incarnate on my world, and I can sense death. If anyone starts to act more recklessly or endanger themselves due to recent revelations, I will heal you with my manadrive and alert all the healers on the train to do the same. They will find you.

[ And that's probably more of a threat than Death approaching. Speaking of threats...

Mort jumps off Thanatos's shoulder and onto the ICP to squeak his own message about not getting hurt and making Thanatos upset because Thanatos is upset enough (even if no one can really understand Mort.) Thanatos scrambles to catch Mort before he slips down the screen, but Mort continues squeaking even as Thanatos holds him, stroking his head with a finger in hopes of calming Mort down. ]

So please do not attempt to hasten towards my domain just because you are not as physically present as you once were.

[[ OOC: If any other healers wish to strongly discourage this kind of behavior or offer more encouraging thoughts to the train passengers as a whole, feel free to add on. ]]

Hey, so, uh...you guys want to recap that massive plot twist that got dumped on us?

( cw: existential crisis possible if you enter here )

voidtreckermods

Attention Voidtreckers. [A pause.] And passengers. As promised I have verified the missive from voidscout Anan and will play it to you in full.

[The screen's flicker on. At first there is darkness and a familiar beeping.]

boop beep boop beep / boop boop boop/ boop boop/ beep//
beep beep / boop beep//
beep beep beep boop/ boop boop boop/ beep beep/ boop beep beep / boop / beep boop beep/ beep/ boop beep boop beep/ boop beep boop/ beep/ beep boop beep/ beep beep beep//

Voidcraft designation Voidtrecker Express we have a message for your crew. Please allow us access, copy.

boop beep boop beep / boop boop boop/ boop boop/ beep//
beep beep / boop beep//
beep beep beep boop/ boop boop boop/ beep beep/ boop beep beep / boop / beep boop beep/ beep/ boop beep boop beep/ boop beep boop/ beep/ beep boop beep/ beep beep beep//

[Then the picture comes into focus to show Anan sat in a pilots chair, Chiff on her head like an odd metal hat. Chiff began beeping rapidly and excitedly.]

It worked? Ah thank you Voidtrecker Express.

[She grinned.]

Hello voidtreckers. Hope you've been alright since we last met. This might sound a bit weird but considering how rushed our departure was last time we were together and since you haven't seen much of the void yet... I wanted to invite you to my system. There's a planet called Osiga where every year the sun is hidden for almost an entire month plunging the world into darkness. That month is called Neran's sleep, in the past it was pretty difficult to survive though nowadays technology means nobody is in danger. Even so the culture of Osiga is still a very helpful and generous one because communities had to be close knit to make sure everyone got through the dark times.

Nowadays Neran's sleep is a time of reflection, the final three days are a huge festival called the Waking of Neran. It's one of my favourite festivals. I'm not sure if your voidcraft will bring you here but I'm sending over the system number and planet coordinates. Voidtrecker Express I'm sure your crew need a break, you work them very hard.

I guess I'll know if you turn up. Hopefully see you soon, it will be nice to spend time with you when we're not in mortal danger.

Anan and Chiff signing off.

boop beep beep beep / boop beep boop boop / beep / boop beep beep beep / boop beep boop boop / beep

[The image flickers out.]

The message has been verified as real and many voidtreckers trust voidscout Anan. Unless there are objections we shall travel to system #78961112094711. Voidtreckers deserve a rest and the Waking of Neran is a joyous festival.

voidtreckermods

[The train has been flying steady for a few days now, the storm long behind them. Those vetran to the train will know it is days past when they should have had a mission, the pattern broken for the first time.

A few hours after the wake up announcement on Orchestra 14 there is another, as all the ICP's flash at the same time.]

Attention Voidtreckers. The Voidtrecker Express would like to make an apology. Voidtreckers may believe this is long overdue. The Voidtrecker Express listens to all feedback and suggestions, I am aware of voidtreckers opinions on many matters.

The false mission to lure us towards the Inspectors was not a tactic I had prepared for. Their skill in manufacturing a mission call was highly sophisticated. The ruse was not discovered until their shields were falling into place and though an attempt to evacuate was undertaken it was not possible to retrieve more than a small handful of you.

In escaping the Inspectors I was reckless and left us vulnerable to the void storm that we encountered. Though there were no long lasting repercussions as a result of that an apology must still be made for the harm done.

Voidtreckers are correct. I should be more open with you all. In the spirit of transparency I shall also inform voidtreckers that we have received a transmission from Voidscout Anan. It is currently being verified and checked to make sure it is real. The Voidtrecker Express has no wish to lead its voidtreckers into another trap. Once verified I shall release the transmission to you in full. Please be assured it is not a distress call. There is no danger detected.

Voidtreckers have accused the Voidtrecker Express of caring less about its current crew than the crew of old. That is untrue. The Voidtrecker knows all of its crew. Every loss is a regret. The Voidtrecker Express invites its voidtreckers to share their thoughts with it.

I open this channel to any questions. The Voidtrecker Express shall not answer the questions straight away but compile them and report back with those answers that can be shared.

Voidtreckers can share as well. What is it that voidtreckers wish the Voidtrecker Express to know?

(OOC: Replies can be given by voice or video like any normal ICP post. They can choose to reply 'to all' or 'to engine' to give a more private response.)

catti

[This message comes from cabin upper 1B and is just a voice message.

This catboy may or may not be sending this from one of the bunks.]

I'm bored. Pray tell me, denizens of the train, if you could have any food appear to you right this instant, what would you choose? If you could only eat one food for the rest of your life, what would you choose?

Me, I would pick dzo buuz.

adropofsunlight

[Rapunzel was fidgeting with her hair nervously. What was she nervous about? Well people were soon about to find out.]

So... hi everyone. So Curufin was so nice and got something that will be used as a reminder for those who have come and gone from the train. [She soon paused. It might not be the nicest reminder that people have left the train, but hey she had to say it.]

I was hoping to ask if anyone wanted to paint something for someone who has left who if you don't want to but still want to leave a tribute you can always ask me or someone else to do it. If you ask me you need to let me know who and what they were like so I can paint something that suits the person.

I hope that people like this and hope to add to it.

jingyeets

( Lan Jingyi, appearing briefly on ICP, soaked from head to toe, actively dripping water with his hair and ribbon plastered down either side of his face, his, er, nightgown likewise... plastered... against him... and it's white, this is a wet shirt contest and no one told anyone who showed up on platform, they all just suffered together. )

Look, if anyone's trying to find me and is confused why I'm not in my tiny short bed cabin, I'm staying in the "inn" carriage the next week.

( that's it, that's him wanting to inform the ones who'd probably want to know but being in a less than happy mood to track everyone down so doing it in the most broadreaching, effective way the train's got going for it. )

monkeyinthewrench

What's up, party people?

[ And here's a cheerful wave from a man in orange, seated in his room with a mug of...something. ]

If we haven't met yet, my name's Jake. Jake Peralta, your clues guy. I'm down to poke things with sticks and solve mysteries! Sooner we figure out what the train's entire deal is, where we're going and all that, the better, right? But in the meantime, I thought it'd be fun to get to know my new squad!

Anyways, I was wondering if anyone would be down to play a little Earth game called Never Have I Ever. How it works is you say something totally cool, or weird, or boring that you haven't done. And anybody who has done it has to take a drink. Unfortunately, I'm as broke here as I was back home, so I can't supply the booze. And we should probably be setting a good example, right?

So just drink whatever you have! Be that water, juice, milk, coffee...or if you happen to have a proper adult beverage on you, go ahead and drink responsibly. You ready? Great, I'll start: never have I ever gone skydiving!

((ooc: it's a big mingle format! Go ahead and add new 'never have I ever' statements as new toplevels, and threadhop all you want.))

wisdominshadows

I suppose at this point it’s ridiculous to make announcements; those kind-abiding here can guess there’ll be a mission in a day or two without visions from the void to herald it.

To anyone who would like some small warning of what may come, I am currently setting up an illusion in the quiet carriage of what I saw last night. Anyone whose dreams contained other details to add is welcome to do so, or to ask me if they cannot.

[A pause, while she considers what else she might add]

Otherwise, I hope you rest well while we still can.

[Anyone who takes her up on the offer will find her sitting on a bench, a view of floating islands in the distance projected upon the walls. She’s humming to herself quietly, but as you stay longer the crash of thunder begins to overpower the sound]

blue_ice

[ Seto looks tired. Someone's only been having his mandatory sleep and nothing more, and that shows. His frown is etched deeper than usual too. ]

We have to talk about the people we've lost. And I don't mean in a 'let's all gather and mourn' way, though that might be...beneficial to some, and I'm not against the idea.

I mean that I refuse to accept that they're gone forever and there's no way we can see them again.

Remember when we visited the void river, and we were told that our emotions, allegedly, would travel across spacetime and reach the people we've left behind? Remember Diagad, when we walked the void to bring people home? The people we've lost are still out there---they have to be, a small handful have returned, right?

If my suspicions about how this all works are correct, all we need is full control of a voidcraft...and that, of course, is the thus-far insurmountable obstacle. So I'm researching as much as I can when we touch down, and I'd like to ask for your help. If you have any other clues or theories about how reaching our lost allies would be possible. Share, please.

flatteries

[ Guess who isn't used to making announcements over this thing and is heavily trying to surpress some social anxiety right now? This guy.

To his credit, he manages to smile rather convincingly, no matter how much he's sweating on the inside. ]

Hello, everyone..! I'm not sure if a lot of people tried out the arcade back on Diagad, but there was this charming game that involved having to dance..? [ DDR. He means DDR.

He just doesn't know it. ]

Either way, it was a lot of fun, so I got one of those machines for it here on the train! Anyone can use it, just.. please be careful and don't break it? It cost a lot of points! [ He worked hard for those!! ] If anyone thinks that it looks or sounds like fun, but has no idea how to use it, feel free to ask me for help! I can teach people!

[ ...

There's a slight pause, and then he adds with a bit more awkwardness: ]

Ah, and if.. someone could help me move that big, heavy thing.. I would certainly appreciate it.

yondu

Video - Games Car

[Despite the fact that the flight simulator has been done for a while, Yondu's finally making mention of it on the ICP so people know about it. He's in the Game car right now.]

Alright, so. I got y'all a flight simulator. It's modeled after the ones the Nova Corp use, which probably means nothin' to most but they got a pretty big fleet and they're made to train for a lotta kinds of ships. Now, in the chance we got a mission comin' up where we'll need to be able to fly craft? We got somethin' to get a step ahead.

Console switches out to match craft usin' some matter tech from my universe. Has a holographic menu to change settings on. [He almost mentions that even some of the stupider members of his crew could figure out how to use the settings so don't worry about it being confusing? But he oughtn't speak ill of the dumbass dead.] There's a bunch of settings to try her out in and Della an' Hera have also offered to help with instruction since it's a trainin' tool. I mentioned to a few people that Quill was ten when I started learnin' him to fly and I think most of y'all are at the very least spiritually older than that.

[Considering what Ghost complained about earlier, he has to add that little bit in there.]

The simulator's attached to a battery. Battery can be removed an' taken on a mission, it holds 72 hours of power so could help us out in a pinch with electrical equipment. If you want any unique craft from your world and it don't got settings for somethin' similar, just order it from the train.

morganizedchaos

[The video starts out normally enough - Ghost is using the ICP in his cabin, and leaning forward in a way that clearly indicates that he's a bit Unhappy about something. The effect is slightly ruined, however, by the giant fluffy black cat who is currently in his lap and occasionally butts her head up into the frame to demand attention.

However, for those who haven't seen Ghost on video before, there's something interesting going on the lower half of the screen - a smartphone is held up in front of the camera, landscape orientation, mostly blocking out the cat, by some amount of telekinesis. And rather than speaking aloud, or what passes for 'aloud' for him, Ghost is just putting text onto the smartphone's screen, giving the impression of subtitles to those who are familair with them. The words appear very quickly, with a pause after each sentence to allow slower readers to catch up before the words scroll away up the screen.

Take that, lack of text posts on the ICPs. You can't stop him now.]

So. Got a bit of a favor to ask. For the new folks, hey, name's Ghost, resident weird alien hybrid speaking, nice to meet you, yes I am mute, don't make a thing out of it.

Some of you probably noticed on our 'vacation' that I was limited to kiddie pool level activities and adult supervision. Technically speaking, I'm the youngest person on the train. In every functional way, I'm thirty, but apparently that's not how the train counts things.

So if a bunch of people could drop messages on the train feedback encouraging her to reevaluate the way she decides who's an adult and who's a child before the next time we have some kind of age-restricted activity, I'd appreciate it. I don't even care about not having access to the train's booze stash, but having a bunch of resort workers descend on me like I was an actual lost child was kind of a pain in the ass.

[There's a pause, mostly because the cat reaches up to paw at Ghost's chin and distracts him. Given that he's not a big guy and she is a very large cat, the effect is fairly comical.]

Thanks, Rory, love you too.

shadowcourage

Hey. I'm Shadow and new on blue team. So, from my experience, its better that I do stuff regularly. Keep engaged and all that.

So I'm gonna offer a few services.

One, food. It sounds like yer not strapped for getting enough, but there are limitations. I have an ability to make food, so I figure I'll hit up the kitchen everyday and add to the stores a bit. I can't do a ton, but like feed a few extra people's worth a day should be fine. As long as I'm not wiped out for some reason. Probably won't happen after missions. I'll do this shortly before the rainbow colors disappear.

I can also take special meal requests, or help with special diets that are hard to get what ya need. If those apply, find me in the kitchen, or the training gym before hand. I'll be there regularly. If there's no requests, I'll just add what looks good. Probably rarer items or perishables when its close to stock up time. I reserves the right to reject special requests if yer rude.

Two, I was on Diagad before arriving. And its with great debate I offer this, so I don't want to hear a lecture. I know dark magic. Which is not inherently evil, just a tool, just one that makes it real easy to do evil things. And I do know a spell for mind control. No, I'm not explaining the 'tragic backstory'. [Complete with air quotes] For why I know it. But if ya want to learn how to resist mind control, I can help test ya. Ya can bring a person to monitor me, or another mind reader, or check with my brother whose been here weeks for my character. I'm offering a service, I'm not forcing ya to take it, its up to ya to do what makes ya feel safe doing it.

Three, I guess I can also help people with dark magic. No, I'm not teaching the mind control thing.

Four, I know shadow magic. Yes, that's different from dark magic. This take special kind of affinity to go, so not everyone can learn this, but if ya want to try learning, I can see what I can do.

I'm also gonna hit up the fight club training listing, but I figure I'd throw out the weirder stuff now.

mynameisallen

[Allen had just finished training for the day. It wasn't like his usual workout as he was slowly working his way back to to that. He was still honestly tired after what happened even if he didn't do an awful lot beyond talking.

But to him talking can be just as exhausting and yet here he was with a smile on his face.]

Hello... So I don't normally talk on here much but I'm trying this new thing called... being open and it's been going well. Sort of.

[He has his moments.]

So I decided why don't we all try giving a fact or two about ourselves. They don't have to be super serious or anything. Just anything will do and we can talk.

I will go first with some facts:

One: Back home we had a situation where people became zombie like and so to deal with something... I hit on a male robot to get him to do it. It worked.
Two: I have a bone to pick with Cupid. They're an asshole and I don't like them.
Three: I've cheated pirates out of money. Like a lot of money.
And finally Four: I once stabbed myself with my own sword. I thought it wouldn't do anything... I was very very wrong.

[All rather odd facts about himself that he was comfortable with sharing. The smile till on his face.]

So whose going to be next if anyone.

crimsonsnow

[ Jade looks tired, broadcasting from his room. Even still, he smiles through his whole message, his voice cheerful. ]

So, we can all agree that last mission was exhausting, can't we? For some of us more than others.

Which brings me to: Some of us were too busy anchoring to pay attention to anything else - we didn't miss anything too fun, did we? Did anyone learn anything exciting about our foe?

[ He could ask people individually, but opening it up to the floor just seems more efficient, in the end. After all... ]

I'm sure I'm not the only one who hates being out of the loop, either. If anyone else has any questions, feel free to chime in! The point of this is to get us all on the same page, after all.

((OOC: free-for-all place for anyone to share information they feel relevant about the previous mission and/or ask questions for other people to answer! feel free to tag others!!))

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. ]

herarrows

The more of these dreams I have, the less I feel I understand them. [Selenay sighs. There's definitely something she's missing in all of this, and she feels half-blinded without another Herald to consult, but she needs to work with what she has.

But really, would it be so awful to give her a Gifts teacher or two who would know more than she did about this sort of thing?]

Report in, I suppose. I know I'm not the only one with ForeSight, and we may as well combine our information.

motherofresistance

[It's early morning when Leia appears on the network, just shortly after the morning announcement. It's obvious she's just woken up by the fact that her hair hasn't been put up and she's still wearing her nightgown.]

Did anyone else have a... very disturbing vision last night? More intense than a normal dream? If so, I'd like to compare notes.

[This vision was as vague as the other one had been, but from what she could infer from it, it meant nothing good.]

(OOC: Leia's roommates are welcome to have seen her wake up with a start, looking frightened for a moment, which is fairly unusual for her.)

weifinder

( Here it is, in the evening after platform is now behind them, and Wei Wuxian is... reaching out. To all y'all. )

To those who offered to help with running illusion training, I've drafted a schedule to run through for a first session. Miss Spider, I'm more than happy to come to you! Curufin Fëanorion, Young Hero Casper, Caleb Widogast, Zewu-jun, Wen Sizhui, you make up the rest if you'd like to come to me, though Casper I know we're still seeing how it'd work.

( Then he claps his hands and smiles at the camera. )

To everyone else, we'll be using half the training gym on Merriment Three from morning to mid-day for people wanting to continue or begin training in illusion recognition and breakthrough. It's about time for another mission to end up falling into our laps, so best prepare as we can, ah?

( Lowering his hands, he only pauses to again shake a finger at the screen: )

There are also eleven extra pendants in illusion resistance I had made from people's donated extra crystals! If you'd like to borrow one for training purposes or mission, ask myself or your Team Lead. No promises on effectiveness as of yet, but they may help.

( Cheery wave and then off goes the camera!

ooc: Given how much will be going on wrt mission coming up, at present I'm not planning to put this particular training log up and would say handwave it: this is likely to be ongoing if Wei Wuxian has his way, so future sessions (probably in non-mission months OOCly) will have logs! )
