You have many questions.

Each passenger may ask three.

(OOC: Please read this ooc information before posting!)

I have healing potions and my rice wine has finished brewing.

I suspect we'll need both.

...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.

So! [Wester claps their hands together on the screen, massive bags under their eyes but clearly buzzing with excitement.] You may have noticed that I've been... practically nonexistent on the train these past few weeks. Don't worry, I'm fine.

Seriously. I'm planning on crashing out for like, a solid forty-eight hours in a bit, don't worry about how much sleep I've been getting.

Anyways, the reason why I've been absent for the past bit is... [they rummage around offscreen and triumphantly retriever a bulging binder labeled "MONSTER WORLD: COMPLETE SECOND EDITION,"] this! I've been hand-transcribing all the rules for a tabletop game from my homeworld from memory.

...and making some errata.

...and some other major rules changes too, seriously a lot of this system does not enable proper roleplay at all in favor a pure dungeon crawl experience and that just makes things less fun, you know?

...and writing up my campaign.

Which, uh. Brings me to my main point! If anybody wants to play around with yours truly as the Dark Master, go ahead and hit this post up. I'm probably going to be taking like... six people max per session, but I can definitely run concurrent campaigns for everybody. I need something to keep me occupied during off days, right?

Haha.

Anyways so what's been happening on the train recently because I remember exactly NOTHING because I was too absorbed in this.

Two important notes.

[Hikaru is unusually terse and, well, short in this message.]

One: the phantoms on the train are inert to Spirit Sight, without will or substance. They are not real. I suspect that the same is true of those outside the train but the windows are opaque to my Sight.

I would appreciate knowing if we have aspirin or ibuprofen.

Two: company - of real people - dispels the phantoms.

In light of this once I've gotten real food and headache pills in me I will be teaching tabletop games in the gaming room. Card, board, roleplaying if we can get a quorum. I run Capes - teen supers - and Star Aria, which is a space opera.

If anyone else wants to run Dungeoncrawlers be my guest, I'll pass.

Hello, everyone!

[ Mami's standing at the ICP in the kitchen, and behind her it's easy to see that she's laid out some items on the counter. ]

The month's more than halfway over, and I realized we haven't taken full advantage of one of our culinary options this month! We have all the ingredients needed to make pizza!

[ Jazz hands. As a lover of all Italian cuisine...the basics are up there too! She then opens her notebook, and holds up a drawing she's done of a basic cheese pizza. ]

The best things about pizza are that it's easy to make, easy to eat, and customizable! We don't have the ingredients for every type of pizza under the sun, but there are lots of options! I've made a toppings bar and laid out some crusts if anyone wants to try it with me, and there's both marinara sauce and white sauce.

[ She holds up some of the toppings she's sliced: ham, bacon, onions, peppers, diced tomato, shrimp, bamboo shoots, various shredded cheeses...and pineapple. ]

I hope to see you! And...there are a few dear friends I'd like to see afterward, too.

[Webmind opts to use video for this message, seeing as a mere voice might make people wary, and text even moreso. That said:]

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!

[The video clicks on to show Masumi in the library looking a bit annoyed over something. What it is becomes clear as she pulls a stack of four books into view and places them on the table next to her.]

I decided to test some things with the order system on the train since it seems that the train got odd versions of certain books instead of what was expected, so I ordered four books that I know exist back in my world.

[Here she picks up two books from the pile; one the first book in the Night Baron series and one the first in the Detective Samonji series.]

I haven’t had time to do more than a quick skim, but these two appear to be what I expected to get. I’ll have to read them to be sure they’re the same, but it looks like these two are unchanged.

[Setting the two aside, she picks up the remaining two books. It looks like she tried to order copies of The Hound of the Baskervilles and a Nancy Drew book, but they’re visibly different.]

These two are different, and quick skims show that the content seems to be altered as well. I’d have to read these too to see how different they are, but my theory is that these are alternate world versions of what I wanted. I don’t know why the train picked these ones to be the alternate world copies while the other two are what I expected, but here we are.

I’ll be putting these in the library when I’m done with them, if anyone wants to check them out.

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.

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.
