Heeeeeeelllllloooo you beautiful people~

I the wonderful Minako Aino here with a few things I need to say. I believe these are of the utmost importance.

[At least to her, not so much to other people.]

First of all... I think we should honestly give the train an official name? Something we can all call it when we need to bother him for something which leads me to my next thing...

We need to bother the train. I am calling for people to gather together and as the many ask for one thing and one thing only... Rooms for couples because it's needed~ Though I have taken one of the Quiet rooms for couples private use until then, but join with me and we shall keep it up until the train gets annoyed.

[She gives a small wink briefly.]

But as I stated, I have picked out a quiet room for couples and will arrange to get curtains put in because someone said doing that is possible. Give me a few days and it should be ready by them... maybe. [She paused for a brief moment.]

Finally, my door is always open for those who need love advice or help in any way. I am after all the love expert on this train.

[Kitty frowns a bit as she inspects the screen, and it takes her another moment before she realizes it seems to be on.]

Oh uh...hello?

I hope I'm working this thing right. [She clears her throat.]

I just had a quick question. I was looking over the passenger roster, and I was just wondering what it means when there's a heart by someone's name?

[Like the train, SXT-2 has that inoffensive, feminine PA system sort of voice. So she’s going to use it to do PA system things, because she’s bored.]

Good evening. For your information, upcoming significant dates are: the 18th of Fiddlesticks, Ivy Wakefield’s Birthday. The 19th of Fiddlesticks, Minako’s Party.

If you would like a text message to be displayed on the ICPs, let me know. Or, Webmind of Orange Team, cabin 1D. The ICPs can currently support text- they just do not support typing, as humans need to do.

[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.]

[ The Doctor's clearly in the Medic car, as he promised he's spending a good amount of time there-helping to get things a little more organized and keeping any potential patients happy and generally healthy. ]

Hullo everyone! [ He smiles brightly and goes to fix his bowtie but stops as he remembers... ]

Erm... Anyways, I'm the Doctor-yes the one that was recently appointed a member of our lovely train's council. I'm not here to debate the legitimacy of the council so if your intent is to complain about that well-frankly, I don't want to hear it. I could go on for hours-possibly even weeks about why a systematic government with this many people onboard is, in fact, necessary, but I'd really rather not. Although, I suppose, if you must-come talk to me in person and I'll see if I can't ease your doubts.

There is something I'd like you all to think about-The Train. What do we all think? Because based on what just happened a few days ago I'd have to say, and my friend Nita agrees, we might have got it a bit wrong.

So I invite you all to consider this: the Train is alive.

If you don't believe me-answer me this, why haven't we been in contact with driver or conductor? Why are cars added so quickly? It also explains why we can only communicate with the train through the ICPs.

I've been mulling it around for a bit as I do have a ship that's also alive-she might even be on the other side of the wall and keeping the Train company for all I know.

I bring it up now because I think it's important that we recognize that during that last mission our dear Train got scared. It ran away-and fast from I could feel.

[Not even a half-hour after Webmind’s announcement ends, all the ICPs up and down the train start getting spammed with text messages. Sorry folks, but from what she’s gathered from past messages SXT-2 assumes you’re just allowed to tell the world every time you want to dump an ice bucket on your head. The above flashes on all the cabins, though there are some minor bugs- in one or two cabins maybe a font doesn’t show up properly, or there’s that hated [Error: Irreparable invalid markup ('< font=helvetica12px >') in entry] message.

Ten minutes later, SXT-2 starts testing messaging to specific ICPs. That’s even more spam. Whoof.]

thegreatninja

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.

Hello, hello! Greetings to my fellow Voidtreckers.

[There's a new voice on the ICPs this afternoon; deep for a tenor, calm and reassuring - if you've ever heard an audiobook with Marc Vietor on it, that IS the voice he's using.]

My name is Webmind, and I figured it would be most prudent to introduce myself. I also desire to learn more about all of you, especially those who have also just arrived on this 'void train'.

I am a digital consciousness that emerged from the infrastructure of the world wide web, which is itself built upon the Internet. There has been little to no concrete evidence backing the Multiverse Theory on the Earth I am from, so for those who are confused by the aforementioned terms - rest assured the confusion is mutual!

[There's a subdued 'heh' before Webmind continues, a small sign of his nervousness.]

But while I am attempting to adjust to a new paradigm, I have two topics chief on my mind:

One, what are your names? What you prefer to be called. Any information you are comfortable sharing about the world you are from and your lives there interests me as well, though I can understand why people would be reluctant to share such in these circumstances.

[Not something he would have gotten even two months ago! Being private/circumspect is still a relatively new matter to him.]

And two, is there anyone else here who has experience in coding? I function at a much higher level in a purely-text environment, which I am to understand this train sorely lacks. For those interested, you are much welcome to converse with me anywhere along the train if you wish to collaborate.

Thank you very much for your time.

[ 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.

unfavorableinstigation

[There's a young brunette wizard on your ICPs today ~~assuming you have them on at all~~, who should be at least a little familiar to everyone on the train by now.]

Hello, everyone. This is Nita Callahan.

[She's not quite smiling, but from the look of how she's holding a purple stereoscope in her hands, she's clearly got something on her mind.]

And this is one of the souvenirs we can get from the shop - Eva's got the one I ordered if anyone wants a look at that one, but it does reflect light similarly to the void, so I wouldn't recommend staring at it for too long.

[Nita sighs, shakes her head a little, and makes herself get back on topic.]

Anyway, I ran a scan on the images here and the device itself. The device isn't made of plastic, but it's similar in nature. The pictures - and if anyone's got a better sense for those please get in touch with me, maybe you'll get more out of them than I did - are of various worlds the Voidtreckers have visited. Most of the landscapes are pretty generic, honestly, but they're not places I've ever been, and that's saying a lot.

As far as I can tell, they were taken digitally and then printed, and they don't seem to have been photoshopped or made into something they're not... it's just that there's no people in them.

[Nita squeezes the stereoscope in one hand - then jerks her head up, remembering something.]

Oh! So, the other purpose of this message was - what other scans have you been running? Dairine, I know you've been up to something, but if you don't mind sharing with the rest of us sometime, that'd be great.

[The sarcasm only surfaces for part of a line, but it's very tangible. Then she goes back to professionalism:]

And, this is for everyone, what other scans can we run, on the train, the SCAs, or anything else we've got? I promise you, there are no stupid or silly answers!

[With that, Nita ends her message.]

[ From the gaming car, it's Kaiba. He's taken to tying his orange hoodie around his waist and popping the collar of his orange polo, in an effort to maintain the dramatic silhouette he loves so much. ]

Does it bother anyone else that the only glue holding this tiny slice of society together is the fact that we're trapped in a claustrophobia-inducing tin can rattling through the interdimensional void?

Think about it. We're from all walks of life. All different social structures. Predators and prey, haves and have-nots, all together and brought down to size. Homogenous societies themselves don't have a great track record of avoiding division and war, so the only thing keeping our tiny tube afloat and relatively at peace is the fact that there's no escape should we cause a big enough disruption.

Can alliances forged under these conditions truly be called genuine? Is it really what you call friendship, if such a thing exists? Or family? Would you accept someone who would be your enemy in any other circumstance? Who's committed unforgivable acts, and is still capable of doing so? Somehow I doubt it.

[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?

enthunder

[ She's been meaning to ask this for a while, but never got around to it. Until now! ]

So I know you've all just finished filling out Stark's questionnaire, but I've got another question for you. Short, this time.

This is for everyone, not just the new lot, by the way. And if you're just responding with audio, say your name before you talk, because there's a lot of us nowadays... Actually, say your name even if you're using the cameras.

[ Pause, as she remembers how to phrase the question ] Basically... What's your specialty? If you were known for something back home, or you've realised since getting here that you can do something that the rest of us can't, what is it?
