Hiya trainies and non-trainies alike! Yuffie here! One of your beautiful and fearless council member's and also the leader of team black! I've been planning this for awhile and now I am ready to share my plans with you! Team Black is going to host a Casino Night in the game train!

I'll send out dates and everything as we get organized but I'd like people to volunteer games or time to the event. That way we'll have games from all worlds!

It's going to be called the Golden Saucer Casino Night! And might happen a few more times if people like it. Sorta like Peter's party thingy. Which we should totally do again. [She grins.]

Anywho, team black report in. If you want to be part of team black then you should also report in!

Let's do this and be awesome!

Good evening, Voidtreckers. I'd like to announce a council meeting in three days. It's overdue and I believe we have a number of items to discuss.

Please council members take some time over the next few days to come up with and notify me of topics we need to discuss so I can prepare an agenda. If anyone who is not a council member feels strongly about a certain topic we should consider, either tell me or seek out a council member so they may relay the information.

[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.]

loveandduty

[Minako was at least settled since she first arrived with it having been Day 4 now. Because of that she already had things on her mind and that was things others probably were not expecting someone to want to talk about.]

So... it's not been long since I first arrived on the train and I have met many people and it made me realize there are many good looking people on the train.

So I am now going to ask. Who do you think is the cutest man or woman, boy or girl on the train and who do you think is the hottest? Like you would have a massive crush on them hot.

bethereprompto

[Prompto's image appears on the network with a worried expression on his face. He's already in his pjs (tank top and chocobo yellow pj bottoms) and he's pretty sure Iggy's already in bed but.. there's a very big and important 'something' missing from his room.]

Hey uh.. sorry for bugging everyone but uh..

[He glances back at his room uncertain.]

Has anyone seen Gladio? Buddy? If you're around will you just.. I don't know, shout 'Marco' or something for me? If you need alone time or whatever, that's cool. I won't come bother you but.. just..

[What if Gladio really was needing some alone time and he was being stupid about this? He didn't want to be harassing the poor guy.]

Never mind.

callmegladio

[Has no idea what he's doing and would have asked for help but clearly didn't, which is why this is audio only and not video because he THOUGHT he'd done it right. Gladio clears his throat. First time nerves and all that.]

Ahem... Right. Guess I should just come out and ask.

Wondering how many creative people we've got here. Been thinking about this one and off, making our own entertainment.

[A pause, because he's clearly not thought through what he planned to actually say. He sighed and laughed at himself.]

A mini theatre. Something like that.
Artists to make backdrops and props.
Musicians for sound effects.
Someone to write screenplays. Though, thinkin that one though, could just order a screenplay from the store...
People up for acting in front of everyone.

Is it something everyone would be interested in?

runs_on_batteries

[ooc: Sorry this was supposed to go up yesterday.]

Please welcome with me our new council! We had a three way tie for our last two spots, so we're going to have twelve members.

These individuals are: Bucky, Curufin, Eva, Feanor, Kaiba, Nerdanel, Nita, Sarai, Yuffie, Ignis, The Doctor, and myself.

Congratulations and we'll have to come up with a good time for our first meeting soon.

Good afternoon, Voidtreckers. For those who don't know me, I'm Tony Stark and the moderator of the train council. We've decided that it's time for another election. Our numbers have grown exponentially here and there have been several changes in leadership do to people disappearing or leaving.

During this time, I'm asking for nominations for council members. We're still deciding whether the new council shall have nine or eleven members, so if I could get everyone to offer up to ten nominees it'd be most helpful. Also if you're nominated and you specific do not want to be on the council, please also let me know.

One last point, this isn't to be confused with team leaders. The council is the governing board of the train made up of voted in representatives regardless of team colors. The team leaders are who you go to if you have any problems and who is responsible for keeping everyone safe during missions.

Any questions?

bethereprompto

[Prompto has decided to up the ante here and he's standing shirtless in his room. He has a big grin on his face and as he's talking, they can see Gladio and Noct in the background. They both look like this is stupid, but they're humoring their friend.]

Hi Train People! I'm Prompto Argentum and I was nominated by Gwen!

[He looks at Noct who is holding the bucket.]

Go for it!

[As the ice water hits him he sputters and lets out a shriek.]

BY THE SIX THAT'S COLD!

[Gladio in the background puts a hand over his face and shakes his head. Prompto is shivering as he talks again.]

S- so I'll g-get a bear a-and I nom-minate Y-Yuffie, Dyme, a- and Noct!

yilingdaddy

[ Instead of your usual message, there's a cheerful Chinese young man with a red ribbon in his hair that the newcomers may have seen in a blur passing by. Those familiar with him are less likely to be surprised by the bright grin on his face though.

Nor by the wave he gives, black robes rustling around him before he finally speaks. ]

Hello! To everyone who has just arrived, welcome! To those who have been here a while, don't judge, this is important!

[ Oh no, he's actually bouncing a little. ]

In a few days, Lan Zhan and I are going to get married, and since we're all a family on this train, you're all invited!

A-Yuan is working on the cake, but if you have suggestions on other sweets you want to see but don't want to make, let him know!

[ He taps the side of his nose a moment, trying to think of what else he needs to say. ]

And someone - or someones! to help cook, since apparently I poison people by spice.

[ He brushes that off with a grin and bob of his head that's almost like a bow. ]

You can come find one of the three of us if you want to help, or pipe up here- though I can't guarantee I'll answer quickly. Much to do!

[ Another silly little wiggle of fingers and he steps back. ]

runs_on_batteries

[Someone may have been drinking, so the clarity of this message might be a little off. He toasts the screen with the mostly empty tumbler.]

Couple thoughts for you-

Don't forget we have some young children on board. Just keep that in mind if you're spouting off about something- you know- really traumatic or whatever, you guys know what I'm talking about, it could harm or upset them. Just.. don't be a dick to the kids. Be a dick to someone else. K?

Also, there have been a couple of ideas floating around for platform days and ways to welcome new people- which is great. I remembered a charity from back home for kids who were stuck in the hospital over Christmas and thought we could borrow that idea. If you have a spare 10 team points you're willing to donate by purchasing a mascot, I'll be- or someone.. maybe Peter, I don't know- but bears will be given to any new kids who show up. Oh, and they come with little hoodies, see?? So we could use people from other teams.

[As he's talking, you can see in the background, Ignis entering the room. Unfortunately someone else noticed he was there too.]

Hey! Tiger! Wave to the camera.

[Ignis frowns and quietly comes over and turns the ICP off.]

~~~~~~

[A short time later, Tony opens the chat again for an additional comment.]

Okay, due to some really generous souls on board, let's keep it to two donated bears per person, okay? Also, does anyone know what the souvenir is?

happyends

[ Guess who's trying really hard to ignore all the more aggressive posts on here. ]

Um.. H-Hi everyone! In case anyone doesn't know yet, I'm M.. Madoka Kaname, nice to meet you.. [ Is she looking more nervous than usually though? For sure. Although that's not because of the mood of the last posts as much as she's dying internally at the thought the whole train can hear and see her right now. ]

M-Maybe some of you might remember that a while ago mister Stark suggested we could put plants around the train.. I thought it'd be a good idea s-since it'd be good for both the air and just for making things look nice, so.. E.. Evie and I volunteered to work on it! But there's only two of us, so..

[ She sucks in a deep breath. You can do it, Madoka. You almost said your piece! ]

We.. could use some help, if anyone wants to help. The boxes all need to be p-put together, and the plants need to be taken care of in the l.. long run too. So I thought maybe we could start a gardening club.. I was part of a gardening club back home at school, so if you don't know what to do, I.. I can help you! But if people already know a lot about plants, it'd be g-great if they could help too..!

Um, of course it's voluntary, but.. i-it'll be fun. I think. And you can work together with Evie too then, and she's really pretty and smart and nice..! [ And, you know, Madoka is also pretty cute. But she apparently has no compliments for herself to spare here.

Also, her face is starting to turn the same colour as her hair by now. ]

I.. I think that's all..! T-Thank you so much for listening to me and I'm sorry for taking up your time-- ouch!

[ She was bowing to end the message politely, but instead just accidentally bumped her head in the process.

She's trying. ]

Good morning! As you probably already know by now, Eva Iden'no has departed from the VoidTrecker Express. She was a good team leader, a good friend, and a thoughtful train companion. I think we will all miss her. I know that I will.

But on to business matters. Tony Stark has asked me to replace her as Orange Team leader. I'd very much like to take on that responsibility, but I'd like to hear what the rest of Orange Team has to say about that. I'd be proud to be be your leader, but let me know what you think.

If by some chance Eva returns, as the departed sometimes do, I will give her back the team leader's job, if she wants it.

[ OOC: Passengers who are not on Orange Team are welcome to comment as well. ]

[ Evie's message comes from the gym car. She sounds hopeful and curious, and for anyone that knows her, there's that hint of Stubborn Princess on a Mission. Don't worry. It's nothing bad. She's actually enjoying this little project she set herself up for. ]

Hello and welcome to the new passengers. My name, for those that haven't met me, is Evie Grimhilde. I hope you all got a pamphlet, because the information is very useful. I have a request to make. I need any and all unused hair bobbles and hairpins. There's a girl here that's going to need them, and I'm sure we'll come across more soon, but for now? We need your help.

We're in the gym car. And if there's anyone who is really good at braiding hair, please come see me. Not that I'm bad at it? I'm just going to need the help.

Thank you!

If Catfish was December, given that we seem to have experienced this train’s version of Christmas, then it stands that Domino is January.

My birthday is 6 January, therefore I am claiming today. You may all honor my natal day by completing your missions and coming back safe.

Understood?

[It's about an hour after the messages from Curufin and his mother. Your self-proclaimed leader is ready to 'lead' at you.]

Alright, we all heard the warning. Team leads, check in with your teammates both new ones and those who have been here awhile. We need people to volunteer making packs like the last mission for rations and supplies for everyone. Those with first-aid training should offer refresher courses or introduction demonstrations as we have some new people on board.

What kind of abilities and powers do we have on board that could assist with people who might be freezing? We need to brainstorm quick ways to make either potions or devices that we can give or use to prevent hypothermia.

They never give us much time with these things, so let's get on this.

[Second message not too long after the first.]

If anyone with a taser used it last mission and needs it fixed, let me know. If you'd like a taser, also let me know. These are specifically for those who aren't accustomed to fighting.

[It's around lunchtime on the 26th day of Catfish when the ICPs crackle on, but no one is speaking. Instead, there's a slight scuffing noise, a soft cough, and then...

Music.

Someone is playing the violin. And it's beautiful.]

Good afternoon, Voidtreckers. If I haven't met you yet, I'm Tony Stark. I have a few matters to discuss with all of you.

For those who are new to this train, please fill out the questionnaire that was attached to each ICP in the 'welcome packet'. Yes, these answers are kept strictly confidential and the only purpose for me collecting them is to find some kind of pattern in being brought here. For those who have been here longer, please check if you've completed all the questions as I've added a few. If this irritates you, blame Peter Parker.

Anyway, as requested, I'm going to be giving the Train Council a debriefing on my findings so far in the next few days. Spoiler alert, I've found very little patterns.

For anyone interested, I'll be posting a list of currently offered classes and at what time per week on the door going into the dining carriage. As of right now, there are yoga classes every morning at 8:30, people offering various types of sparring lessons, and I'll be starting school with a class on math and a class on science later this week. If you're interested, let me know so I can give you a pre-class test to see where your current level is.

Does anyone garden? I've been working on an update ventilation system since we have kids on the train and those who potential have compromised breathing. It occurred to me, we might benefit greatly if we started to add small gardens throughout the train. I'll create proper lighting. If someone can build some gardening boxes, that would also be appreciated. As of now I have a list of the items in the kitchen that can be planted for those who would enjoy such activities.

Lastly, is the damn book-demon idiot still occupying and being a pain in the ass in the garden carriage? You've got one hour to cut that out.

Feanor, come find me. We need to talk.

[ooc- The bold is OOC so people can skim this easier.]

[Romeo's face grins through the screens. It's been a pretty scary few days and he's been trying to keep his spirits up as much as he can and to help everyone else do the same. It had been pretty tricky though!

But then there had been a message on the screens and Romeo had gone to investigate and found the pumpkins, he knew what they were because he had asked when they had first found them on the platform! But he hadn't known you could make faces out of them!]

Does anyone's world have the tradition about putting faces in pumpkins? I don't think my world did! I didn't know what a pumpkin was before so I guess we didn't! How do you do it?

Also what can you make with pumpkins? They are vegetables right so we could make soup or mash it? Does it taste good mashed? Or we could fry it and eat it with rice or noodles. I'm not sure it would go well with fish but there's still a lot of fish in the store rooms.

I know it's not Blue teams time to cook but tasty food always makes me feel better so if anyone wants to come and have some food I am going to try and make something with a pumpkin and make a face with one as well!
