I need to address what happened last night. If you're tired of hearing about it, I promise I'll be fast and avoid detail.
( cw: extreme violence discussion )

[ Kaiba looks tired and frustrated, as usual, but he's loud and clear here. ]

If anyone wants to review the 'rogue void train' message we received immediately before the ICPs crashed, I managed to transcribe a copy. You should all be able to read it now. And I know at least one other person has pictures of the screen if you'd rather read the source directly.

During the chaos, I told a few of you about a myth from my world called the Tower of Babel. As the story goes, once upon a time all the people of the world spoke the same language. They decided to work together on building a tower to the heavens to reach God. God was angered by their arrogance, so he cursed their tongues so that they could no longer understand each other. This stopped the tower project and they scattered across the world.

I'm telling you this because I've been wondering if it's relevant to the situation. Given the timing of the message, the near-immediate disabling of our translator, and the convenient disappearances of a few teammates I knew to be actively investigating, I'm more concerned than I was about what we're in for.

[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.

[ The video is focused on a silver briefcase, bearing an unusual 'KC' logo. On either side of it sit two young men in orange: one crouching down a little to fit in the frame, one bouncing up with a big grin. The taller one flips the briefcase open with a flourish.]

Hello to all our new arrivals. I'm Seto Kaiba.

And I’m Yugi Mutou. Nice to meet you!

I've heard your complaints about the gaming car lacking variety, and I'm here to present the latest addition: Duel Monsters. It's a game of skill. You choose monsters, spells, and traps for your duel deck, your opponent does the same, and you begin an epic battle. There are as many strategies as there are people---you can fully customize your deck to a degree most duelists can never dream of, because I have copies of nearly every card in existence right here. And they're yours for the taking, if you dare.

[ Yugi laughs. ]

You're so serious, Kaiba. Anyway, it’s fine to lecture them about all this, but wouldn’t it be better to show them a duel?

I was getting to that, Yugi. I’ve set up a card table in the game room. It’s not the format I’d prefer to use, with my duel disks it’d be a truly exciting spectacle...but it’s all we have to work with.

Is it all we have to work with, though? I kinda think we should do this in the gym instead.

...what, why? Fine. Gym it is.

[Yugi has a small smile of triumph for a brief moment before his focus was back on the broadcast He waves as Kaiba turns back to the briefcase.]

And be sure to stick around after, because we’ll help you build decks if you want to learn!

Hey guys!

You might have noticed the Train is taking another survey and I'm here to beg you to choose films.

Pleeeeeeaaaaseeee

I have been on this train since it started-one of the original 10 and I have not seen a movie or a film in all that time. I really, really miss movies.

If you don't know what a movie is it's basically like a play except that it's not performed in front of live audience and there are so many different kinds. Come on guys. Please let's do films this time?

I found out awhile ago I was nominated and I... have been struggling to figure out how to address this. I'm worried that I may have been nominated because of who certain individuals may think I am.

[ Luke paused, glancing away and biting his lip; it is entirely obvious that he's very nervous. It takes him a moment to look back, taking a deep breath before he plowed on. ]

My name is Luke Skywalker; I'm the son of Lord Vader, who was here previously. In my version of home, I am the commander of his Black Squadron, and... if my father has anything to say about it, the heir to the Imperial Throne.

[ He hesitated again, looking down as he fidgeted with his hands, taking another deep breath. ]

There are a lot of things I'm not that others have expected me to be, so I'll speak as to what I am and my experience. At eleven, I was enrolled at the Prefsbelt Imperial Academy, for pilot and officer training. I graduated at nineteen, and was promoted to commander in the middle of a battle to defend the Destroyer I was stationed on. I have been in three dogfights, and I was in the middle of an on going mission to usurp the current Emperor before coming here.

I grew up in a galaxy where the Emperor's word was absolute; where if you had the money and the favor, you could get whatever you wanted. It's not... a pleasant place at my point in time. My father and I, as well as a team of others, have been doing what we could to make things better, with myself taking point in attempts to gather allies.

I don't know how that will translate to being on train council. I admit, my diplomatic abilities are... lacking, as recent events have made evident. I'm doing what I can as a Purple team lead, but I know there's much I still have to learn. If I'm chosen, I will do my best to step up and learn from all of you, so I may serve you as best I can.

[Once again the teenage boy stands in front of the screen, clearly within one of the showers, there is a bucket at his feet. Once again he's shirtless, his braid down his back this time. Instead of a smile there is a cold look in the boys eyes, no emotion on his face as he looks into the camera. He tilts his head and when he does smile, there is very little feeling behind it.]

Cheater and a coward. That's what I was called for... well. I don't suppose it matters, eh? This is what everyone wanted.

Thanks for the warm welcome, guys. Time for take two.

[Duo bends forward and takes the bucket in both of his hands and lifts it as if it weighs nothing at all. Up over his head it goes... he upends it... and in seconds he is soaked in a bucket of ice water that is clearly more ice than water. For a few seconds he is still and then a near painful shudder rocks his whole body before he drops the bucket behind him and steps out of the shower.

He pauses before reaching out to turn off the feed.]

You'll get your three bears.

[The feed ends.]

[ooc: The shower Duo was in will be locked for at least 24 hours after this! ^^ He's done the challenge so everyone should be happy now~ Yes? Duo is a good boy again?]

[A very cheerful looking young man appears on the screen with a big ol' smile. He's dressed only in a pair of cargo pants, his feet are bare and he has a very long braid slung over his shoulder. He's also clearly standing in one of the showers. There's a bucket close beside him and a mop juuuuuust visible in the corner of the screen. And, of course, he looks so very, very innocent.]

So, this is a thing! You guys are kinda crazy, y'know? I mean, why not just ask for bears to be donated instead of going through all this? [Waves a hand toward the bucket and heaves a heavy sigh.]

But... Names Duo Maxwell and I was nominated by a guy I thought was a friend and I promised no water so...

[Duo grabbed up the bucket, grunting at how HEAVY it was, and hefts it up onto a shoulder.]

Hope you guys are happy! I nominate... whoever the hell wants to do this!

[Duo lifted the bucket, flashed a big grin... and tipped it over his head.

....

Many little fluttering pieces of paper fall all over his head. Each piece of paper had the word ICE written on it in big letters. All of the pieces land in the tub of the shower at his feet, and at no point does his smile waver. But he does give an exaggerated shiver.]

Brrr... Whelp! Should put my shirt back on!

[He shakes himself like a dog, his braid whips behind him and the little pieces of paper sticking to his hair fall. Stepping out and closer to the screen, he grins again... and moves past the mop for the dustpan and brush.]

Hey everyone! I was thinking of ways to make our time on the train more fun and with the help of Prompto, I think I have something new and exciting for you all!

[She grins at the screen and those who are paying attention might notice that she's now in mostly black ninja clothes with a headband tied around her forehead.]

Team Mascots!

Ready for it?

Team black. Which is the best team ever, will be a black Chocobo! [She holds up a picture that Prompto had given her.] His name is Ebony.

Team red is a Midgarsormr, which is a cool monstery thing.

Team blue is a turtle. It's like a lizard but with a shell over it that it can hide in. They're pretty cool.

Team orange is a wombat.

Finally! Team purple is a big purple Cactuar!

So there ya go! Team Mascots!

[She looks very proud of herself.]

We also have a few new team black members. Let me know if you wanna sign up.

Yuffie, out.

[ Heeeeeeere's Kaito, shirtless, with a towel and a bucket, and wide grin. How's he holding his ICP? That's a mystery (no it's not, it's propped up on something) ]

Never let it be said that I back down from a challenge!

And although I do have points for two teddy bears... y'know, one of my best buds just dumped ice on his head, and obviously a guy can't let a guy suffer alone, yeah?

So! [ DEEP BREATH ] I nominate... Edogawa Conan! Bucky-san! Aaaaaaaaand Wei Wuxian-san!

[ SPLASH ]

'KUSO that's c-cold!

[ scrambling for the towel ]

E-enjoy your teddy bear!

faithfulson

Those of you who find dumping a bucket of ice water over your head is an acceptable means of entertainment, I'm certain I can find something else more productive for you to do.

Especially those of you on Purple team.

[ There's a pause, like Luke's going to end the message, before he focuses back. ]

Oh, and if any of this "bucket challenge" is done in an area where it isn't wise to have water end up everywhere, you will be responsible for cleaning it up.

hashtagparkerluck

[ Guess who it is again? ]

Did we ever figure out how we end end up with more points? Because like, I need more points.

Thinking about getting a lego set if I can.. I'm like itching to build legos rn.

[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.

[The screen of the ICP shows a figure with a deep cowl in a blue, and hints of the VT-uniform in purple under the voluminous cloak. The top of the cowl means the upper half of the person's face is in shadow, and the rest of their features are pale.]

Um...hi.

[It's a female's voice, lower and calm--not quite deadpan.]

So, I came on board recently, and my name is Raven. I'm on the purple team.

[Awkward introduction is awkward, but none of that should be showing through in her manner.]

I've met some of you already.

[There's a pause and a slow blink, and now the awkwardness is showing somewhat.]

I'm speaking out though, because of the aftermath of the inspections. I'm an Empath--I sense emotions basically. I've been trained since I was very young though in my control over it, and I respect privacy a lot. Mostly because I'd want mine respected.

But I can also project my empathy--which is why I'm speaking up. If you're feeling overwhelmed or panicky and it's left over from the void-particles or whatever, if you want I can help you calm down.

[There's a shrug, and the awkwardness is definitely there now. If anyone has questions, now is a good time to ask them.]

[ Here is the generally excited voice of one Peter Parker! ]

Hey guys, I just ordered more books from the store thing and then I got to thinking about it and Lightning's announcement about her books being in the main car gave me an idea.

[ He takes a breath to maybe keep from talking quite so fast. ]

Basically, what if like everyone that buys books all stored them in the same car? That way we can like have a Voidtrecker Express library and people that just joined us don't have to worry about not having enough points to be able to read books.

Plus it'll take up less space in the sleeper cabins so win-win for everyone. Just need shelves, I guess.

[ooc- Tony's image appears on the ICPs, in the background they can see the dining car where he's been hanging out in. He has a warm, business-like demeanor in his posture and tone.]

Good evening, passengers, I hope everyone is acclimating to the train and the new group who boarded earlier. For those I didn't get a chance to meet, my name is Tony Stark and I came on board approximately a month ago with the first group of passengers. I have a couple requests that I hope you'll afford me.

[New Arrivals]

For those who are new to the Voidtrecker, I am someone you can come to if you're needing some assistance or have questions. I don't know everything you're bound to be wanting to know about this place, but I'll tell you whatever I do know.

In turn, I'm requesting you fill out a questionnaire about who you are and your world. My goal is to determine any patterns among those who have been brought here as well as be alert to any medical needs you may have. These questionnaires are confidental and I won't share with anyone else.

[Current Passengers]

[ooc: This is the IC post about my ooc ballot I mentioned a few days ago.]

For those who are not new to the Voidtrecker, we need to talk. As this train is getting more people, it might be wise that we find a way to keep order amongst ourselves. I'd like us to consider electing a council of either five or seven individuals who we would like representing us. I'll create a ballot and suggestions but we'll keep this democratic.

In addition, I've added two additional questions to my questionnaire . Please, add this to your original responses.

[Manabu!]

Lastly, Manabu, meet me in the baggage car. I have something for you.
