controlsthedie: game art of Thanatos default conversation picture (But the other saying I like so much more)
[personal profile] controlsthedie
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. ]]

So... I guess I've been doing a lot of thinking since the last mission.

[Danny shifts nervously as he tries to figure out how to say this. This was a lot harder than he had thought it would be. Sure, he'd gotten used to the idea that it was okay to be open about his powers here. But there was a difference between that and admitting to some of the things this last mission had made him realize about himself.]


And I kind of have some things that I was hoping that someone could help me out with.

I guess the first thing is.... I haven't been really hiding that I have ghost powers? But the thing is, I guess I kind of realized that I've been avoiding trying to get stronger with them? [Because the mission had made him realize that he was still afraid of his future. Afraid of how powerful he could be in just a few years. It had been easier to just focus on learning how to fight and how to better use the powers he already had. But if the last mission was any guide, that wasn't always going to be enough. He needed to get stronger with his powers, and prepare for the new powers that he knew were still waiting for him.] So I guess what I'm asking is.... Does anyone here have any ideas on how you train ghost powers?

And kind of to go with that.... It kind of got pointed out to me that I have a lot of abilities that could be a Problem if I got brainwashed again like that.  So, I guess what I'm asking is whether there are any ghost hunters here? Or people with experience with stopping supernatural stuff? And does anyone have any ideas on how to block mind control and illusion stuff? More than we already trained for, I mean. Because that obviously wasn't enough.

[Later, Danny picks up his most recent purchases from the train shop and goes in search of his friends. He had some tools to hand out.]

[Entrapta is in the gym car again. Even if Claudette is complete, she still likes to play, and she leaves her there when she's off mission. The little dinosaur looking robot with purple lighting is running around in the background of the ICPs view when she has it on, chasing a ball with little dancing emu kicks.]

Hi! I'm Entrapta if I haven't met you yet! I've been doing a lot of research into magic to see what similarities and dissimilarities exist between worlds. So I was going to ask if anyone could do me a favor and allow me to record you. If I find more general similarities it might be able to help us block specific types of hostile attacks, specifically mental ones. [Because their last encounter was so specifically mentally targeted she wants to help in the protection department. But maybe as generalized as possible.]

This includes qi, aether, traditional magic, any sort of energy that can be manipulated by living beings into solid objects, methods for healing, or offensive attacks.

[Claudette moonwalks through the background balancing the ball on her head.]

I also really need to speak with some people that might have experience researching souls attached to items. I want to see if it's possible to re-establish the connection to the original body. It's a relatively new idea to me, but in my world most Princesses are inherently connected to their Runestones. It's a trait that passes down through generations. But our Runestones can be destroyed and we still maintain some of our magic, though not at maximum capacity. I still have powers even though Dryl's stone was destroyed long ago.

[She points to herself with three different locks of hair as if to say, 'Yes, this person with these hair abilities, that's me.']

I've also recently integrated an atmospheric analyzer into Claudette. If you see her on mission and she starts making a siren noise? Then you might need to seek safety. I'll write out a list of the new sounds I've installed.

[Claudette honks in the background. And Entrapta looks exasperated.] They all know you can make that one! I'm talking about the ones you can only make when there's trouble.

[Honk honk.]

...Also if someone can take the time to come by the gym, could they use her for target practice? Don't destroy her or anything, please. She was very difficult to make. But she has good shields and can regenerate some injuries and she loves to play dodge. Just be sure to tell her she's a good girl.

[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.

Hey guys!

[ Comes the overly chipper voice of one Peter Parker. ]

So, uh.. who here has heard of DnD and if you have do you have like... uh.. eight points to spare so we can get the monster manual? I already ordered the player guide and DM guide. Also we might need a set of twenty-sided die but I dee kay, I think we can probably make it work without?

Also, anyone want to volunteer to the first campaign or even maybe be the DM-or uh-dungeon master? I probably shouldn't do it, I ramble like, way too much.

Hi everyone...

I wanted to let you know about something more serious. It's about who...or what I am. So this doesn't surprise you later. I guess some of you already knew I wasn't quite what I appeared to be, but I'm still processing it.

here's where the content warnings kick in, and for the rest of the post )

[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!

So, something that was brought up at the meeting got me thinking. About ways to come together as a community, and maybe accomplish multiple goals. Besides that, I think we need something fun right now, for any who are up for it.

What about a train-based game of Capture the Flag?

[Trunks hasn't actually ever gotten to PLAY capture the flag, but he saw it in TV shows and read about it. He had a sheltered life in some ways, when it wasn't slowly growing into a dystopian apocalypse.]

I'd suggest no more than 3 teams, and we'd have to figure out how to divide up the bases where each team's flag is. We'd also have to agree on the rules, but I'm thinking the obvious ones are "no powers" and "no hiding in locked areas" like your room or the quiet cars.

Hey hey, party people! For all you new cats and kittens, the name's Della Duck! And... someday I will think of a less embarrassing way to introduce myself. Not today.

Anyway! I know time's on a big pause button or whatever back home, but if it wasn't, you know what my world would be celebrating later this month? Only the best holiday ever made - Halloween! Dressing up in costumes, free candy, and scaring the pants off everyone! If you wear pants, anyway.

I know world-hopping and all those kinda shenanigans make celebrating holidays harder, but... it's Halloween. We gotta at least try. It'll be on the last day of the month, so, plenty of time to prepare if you wanna chip in! We need to use one of the big carriage, gotta make a lot of sweets, and go to town on stitching up costumes.

Now, for those of you who have no idea what Halloween is... you've got my sympathies, I'm so sorry. But here are some highlights!

One -  Haunted Houses. Again, can't go the extra mile 'cause... train. BUT I'm sure we can come pretty close! Things popping out at you, spooky noises, fear pumping through your veins!

Two - Trick or Treating. Usually this is for the little kids. They go from house to house, knock and say "Trick or Treat!" and then get candy. Still no houses, but I say who needs 'em! If a kid says it on that special day, we should have plenty of candy to go around for the tykes... or for the tykes at heart.

Three - COSTUMES! Be someone or something you're not! The sky's the limit! This year I had planned to go on "matching opposites" costumes with my twin brother, like we did when we were younger - I'd be a devil, he'd be an angel - but since he's not around, what will I be? That's a surprise. Cause I haven't thought of it yet.

If you've got any questions, or suggestions, lemme know! Let's make this the best Halloween the train's ever had!

 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.

[ The ICP comes on, broadcasting a message to all from the Library. Two figures stand side by side, one decked in elegant custom garb; the other in utilitarian Purple, with the standard coat that comes with their gear. Ladies and gentlemen, presenting Glorfindel to the left, his smile open and inviting; next to him is Roland, arms crossed against his chest, expression a bit more serious. ]

A message from a walking sun and a guy who does paperwork for fun! )

(OOC: either glorfindel and/or roland will be threadhopping to reply to tags on this post! for Purple-mates, the actual mixer log with top-levels will be on August 23 IRL, so after the beach episode. so we can all have fun first!! or potentially get memshare trauma, which is the best time to discuss work, right?? please use this as your IC channel to discuss things and we can assume that these 2 will be taking notes as they go! )

[ 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.

H-hey guys! I uh... it's been a bit? huh?

Sorry, I just wasn't feeling myself so I've kept mostly to uh... myself that past week or whatever it's been.

but I'm feeling better now! A lot better, I think. I don't know-we'll see.

But since I kinda spaced on platform day-I'd like to actually say high to the new guys.

So uh... hi? I'm Peter Parker. You can usually find me in the dressing room or the movie car. Nice to meet you all?

[Minako had been at the dining carriage getting ready to eat something delicious. But it also brought up a bit of boredom as to what to do while she ate. That was when it dawned on her; Food! What a great way to get to know people is to know what food they liked right? Plus might help those in relationships know what to cook of dates. It's a winning situation.

Soon the voice of that girl who started off the whose cute or hot subject that one time is once again speaking.]


Hello to all you beautiful ladies and handsome men. It is I; the beautiful and wonderful expert of love; Minako Aino speaking~!

But today is not about love not in the romantic of friendly case. No, this is about the love of food. [She was starting to sound a little bit too dramatic, but she carries on.]

I want everyone to say what their favorite food is and for something extra what your least favorite is. Of course, yours truly will say what mound is as that seems fair.

[She soon gives a little cough before speaking.]

The food I love, love, love is curry. it's delicious and you cannot tell me otherwise. But my least favorite food is Shiitake Mushroom. They are gross and horrible.

So now it is your turn~!

[OOC: This is a free for all style post as will many of Minako's posts in the future. What that means is people are free to tag in and basically tag others and that Minako may or may not necessarily respond.]

Hey. Dunno if anyone was waiting to see how stupid the 'random clothes' option was before trying it, but I finally spent points on new clothes. So, here's a review... I guess.

[ She rummages next to the ICP, and holds up an ornate jacket, a black dress printed with red rose petals and a pile of wool and linen that she can't quite sort out in time for the camera before she gives up and puts it down again. ]

In short, they're not bad. Not great for missions, but they're, [ She lifts her hands to do airquotes ] 'not to be worn on official Voidtrecker business' anyway. It's fifteen points for an outfit, though... so, maybe see the spider instead if you're low.

[They have to know what's coming next. Tony's shirtless and in one of the showers and he shows Peter standing nearby with an ornery grin on his face and a bucket of ice water.]

Okay, so as you all know, this is a challenge to raise awareness and encourage donations to my bear drive. They're labeled mascots on the train store and are to be given out to kids who show up on the platform or those who are kids-at-heart who can use such a thing for comfort. We all know how it can be here and-

[Peter gets impatient and tosses the bucket at him.]

Son of a b-!

[He spits water out and runs his hands over his face that is turning red from the cold.]

Alright, alright. I nominate Dread, Happy, and May! A-

[After hearing May's name, more water was splashed at the older man. Not expecting it, he sputtered and glares at the kid. The feed cuts out as Tony takes off after Peter.]

[Danny was standing beside a bucket, filled with much more ice than water,]

So Peter nominated me for the ice bucket challenge thing. Stop me if I get this wrong, because this whole thing is new to me.

Basically I can pick between donated two teddy bears, or donating one teddy bear and dumping a bucket of ice over my head. And hey, I kind of like ice now. So I'm going for the bucket option.

[He picks up the bucket.]

Oh, and by the way. I'm nominating Daia, Trowa and Kaiba. Have fun guys.

[And with that he picks up the bucket and dumps a pile of ice over his head. Oddly, he doesn't shiver at all]
