[ In the video, Gen - looking rather excited - is standing next to Senku - and doesn't waste any time by saying: ]

Good morning, fellow Voidtreckers! We've had ... quite a few days, haven't we? Floods, and fires, and of course that nasty mission ... it's enough to even make me feel bogged down and stressed. My apologies to all of our new passengers - I promise you, things are not usually quite so chaotic. So, perhaps some good news!

Because, honestly, who doesn't want an excuse to party?

My dearest friend Senku-chan - that's the fine young genius beside me - has asked for my hand in marriage, and I have of course accepted. I know a good deal when I see one, mmm? And everybody, everybody is invited.


You don't need to bring anything, or dress up, or do anything except show up. Really. We don't need anything.

Yes - see, where we come from, it's considered good luck to have lots and lots of guests to a wedding. So indeed, my friends, you don't need to bring anyone but yourselves and your appetite. There'll be cake!


And wine.

[Senku sighs a little bit at all of the fuss, scratching his ear idly, but he's there letting Gen have it anyway.]

Our wedding will be on the 24th day of Kazoo. We look forward to seeing you there!

[ The video flickers on, and it's Gen, smiling deviously, but looking over his shoulder now and again. ]

[ Making certain that someone is still distracted. ]


Good afternoon, fellow VoidTrain passengers! Isn't it a lovely day?

I don't have long, Senku-chan should be pretty distracted - but all of you who know him, he could have a sudden idea and want to share it at any moment.

This is for everyone who does know Senku!

The fourth of next month, best I can guess, is a special day.

[ He holds up a finger and says; ]

You see, my dears, Senku-chan has this habit of keeping a running count of each day in his head. Probably because our time, also, had no clocks! No strange train time going on there, just hadn't been re-invented yet, if you've heard the story from Senku you know why. I digress.

Doing the math, that should make the 4th of next month Senku's birthday!

And I would like to throw a party. I'm going to order a cake - I've gotten a few presents at that faire ...

Who's in? With presents! Decorations! Food!

... There's at least cake in it for you, if you'd like to join? But I believe Senku-chan has helped a lot of us here, and after such a time after being kidnapped ... well, he deserves to have a little party, wouldn't you say?

[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!

[ The ICP flickers to life and in video, two individuals stand side by side. One is stern and still, with heavy eyes and crossed arms. The other with duo-colored hair is smiling, but their gaze is sharp and attentive. The announcement seems to be coming from the Dining car. ]

Good morning, everyone! After a rather … difficult … last mission, it seems that everyone’s scrambling for ideas, and answers. It’s … certainly been in my mind. Some have even called for a change in leadership, which is understandable, but I think might’ve ruffled a few feathers.

I really think that after everything we’ve been through, a fight about who’s running what is the last thing we need.


[ Roland transitions smoothly, with a nod in agreement. ]

Cut for length. )

Hello, fellow passengers. My name is Webmind. While I can no longer claim to be 'new' to this train, having been here for over three months, I do understand what it is like to have one's understanding of the world both shattered and infinitely broadened.

[Big words, for a 'bot that isn't THAT big. He's about as tall and wide as the average human.]

While I am normally an intelligence spanning a globe, I have been compressed by whatever forces are behind this train into one singular body. I am of minimal danger to anyone on this train.

What I have been able to work on, however, is a way for all of us to be able to use textchat - both logged in and anonymously - on this Network. Progress is, unfortunately, very slow going, and I would appreciate any help you are willing to offer.

That said, I have a question for those who have been here longer than I, for the benefit of the most recently arrived:

In what ways have you made to damage the train, approximately how much force did you impart in the effort, and what were the results?

I will be composing a list for later viewing; thank you all for your time.

((Threadjacking is fine! Webmind will do his best not to interject on tangents. =P))

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!

[ Gen is lounging in the library, looking a little wistful, putting some book down before the camera can see the title ]

So! I have a hypothetical question, everyone! If anyone could indulge me a little.

Let's play a game.

[ He leaned into the camera's frame with a bright smile ]

Pick three fellow passengers on this train - and tell me, who would you Hug, who would you Marry, and who would you Yeet into the void, if given the ability?


[ Claps his hands together ]

Please, it's all in good fun, of course! Share with me your thoughts!

[Allen was quietly sitting juggling, his eyes not even looking at where they were going. Around him sat familiar faces of Timcampy; sitting on his head as usual and nuzzling his hair getting settled. Link jr or for those who might know Pokemon well enough Minccino seemingly playing with his shoulder length hair as if he was trying to beat it up by trying and failing to put it up.

The last one around him was Popplio who was watching eagerly for him to toss her a ball. Allen smiled as he soon did while still keeping another two going and she balanced what was thrown at her on her nose. After a moment the young man stopped, there was a reason he did this after all.]


I know when we get to new platforms that we have a welcome leaflet thing but... I figured I would ask doe it explain to those who aren't used to world-hopping what to expect like... there will always be something that happens every so often? Or... you have to adapt to the way the world we end up on for missions.

I figured I would ask because if there isn't anything there really should be so that we don't always have to explain and surprise people with it and that they can be informed. Though I also am curious to see for those who have been to more than one place, not counting the worlds we go to on the train and what might have been a common thread.

[Soon Popplio was nudging his hand as she wanted to play a little more.]

That is all I wanted to ask really.

Hi everyone. [He offered a friendly wave.]

Okay, so, question. We're all crammed onto this train, right? And we don't have a lot of privacy, which, all right, I'm starting to get used to, but. What if we want to do something special for someone? Like...a date.

I've never done dates on a train before, I don't really know what to do. And before someone brings it up, I can't really...cook. I mean, I guess we could cook something together, but.

So, date ideas. Does anyone have them? I'd really appreciate it.
les_magique: (Let me explain you a thing)
[personal profile] les_magique
I've mentioned this before, but we've gotten enough new people since then that I dare say it's worth repeating.

I am a wizard. That means that I have absolutely no inherited magical talent, but that I can still manipulate ambient magical energy in the environment through carefully calculated understanding of how it behaves when it interacts with a living person.

The practical upshot of this is that not only can I cast spells, but I can teach anyone else how to cast spells. It doesn't require you to be born with power, just to be able to use your mind. And to be able to do a lot of math.

Since we constantly find ourselves in increasingly bizarre situations (though honestly compared to some of the places we've been, that last world felt positively homey.), I imagine it can only be to our benefit to expand our skillsets as much as possible. I've never felt very comfortable with the idea of direct face to face violence, but I've still been doing my best to learn from Monsieur Rieper's lessons, for example.

So what I'm getting at is, if anyone feels confident in their mathematics skills, I would be willing to teach them how to be a wizard. And if anyone ISN'T confident in their mathematics skills, I can also be a passable math tutor until you reach such a point that you are. It's not EASY by any stretch of the imagination, but it is achievable by anyone who is willing to put the work in.

[Her expression is a stoic mask - practiced, commanding attention and respect. She's had years to practice her war face. Only the people on the train who know her particularly well might be able to detect the concern and worry behind it.]

So, I'm about to put in a feedback request to add a new car to this train. They've got us doing some pretty demanding and physical stuff here, and I think we need more help on the therapy end. I'm proposing that we add a therapy and relaxation car to this train.

I'd want it to include at least one hot tub - probably more - along with a cold tub for helping with recovery from injury and soreness. It's the kinda thing professional sports teams have in their clubhouse. The hot tubs could be used for people who just want to unwind, but priority would be given for people recovering from injury or trauma. Maybe throw in a massage table if there's room.

Let me know if this sounds like a good idea to you, or if you have any objections or additions before I submit my request.

[ 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! )
