(OOC: Threads arising from this question may contain some unpleasant aspects of Eva's world re: mewtwo/s, including how they were created and how they're seen. Eva'll take any actual talk of it off the ICP.)

A question, if you will. [Eva is nowhere near as calm as she tries to sound, and it becomes clearer as she speaks. She's also recording all of this on Roro for later playback.]

Say... Say you know someone. You call them a good person, someone who always helps and tries to do the right thing. Yet, they've also protected a creature... no, a person your society and culture deems a kill-on-sight threat, for very good reasons. It's not the right thing to do by society, and it means... means they'll be branded a Traitor to be executed if anyone ever finds out. [A breath -you wouldn't be wrong if you get the feeling this is personal for her, because, it is. ] But they feel it's the right thing to do because the person is a person and worse yet, the equivalent of a child. So they do. They protect the person, even knowing they've signed their death warrant.

What... What you do if you found out? Would... would you condemn them? Or would you... would you agree with them?

Ah... and um. For those that saw that illusion, the one with the kids -my sisters-, can... Can I talk to you? Privately?

A few things here! [Eva grins at the camera with a small wave, very clearly in her cabin.]

One: With Glorfindel-san and now Piccolo-san's leaving, the Welcome guide needs an overhaul. It was needing one anyway, so now's the time to do it. So, if the Teams -including Black and White-, could remind me of who's a Lead and if you have a Junoir Lead, that'd be great! Or just chime in if that applies to you. Whatever works, honestly.

Two: Given we'll hit a mission soon, there'll be an Orange meeting tomorrow in the music room, around mid-morning so not to eat up into people's time. I can provide a pack of sweats and a lot of my berry-fruits as snacks, but not much else.

Oh, right... [A glance off-screen and then a slight grimace before she looks back. This can't be helped, or so Eva feels.] I wasn't thinking yesterday. I am now, so, given general pokemon biology with kyukon, I've decided to keep 'Nona in his 'ball outside certain carriages while on the train. That way no one has to worry about bad luck or 1000 year curses if you accidentally brush his tails.

[Again, sorry about yesterday. [There's a low, apologetic bow before Eva ends the feed.]

Hi, everyone!

[It is Entrapta, and she's had a strangely difficult past two weeks. But she's doing what she can to cope, and she copes with obscene amounts of productivity.]

First, I have a couple of big favors to ask! I'm working on a project to supply mission teams with a couple of healing snipers and a few healing grenades per team. If your world has access to healing potions that could help with this or plants that can be used for them, contact me! Maybe we can work out some item trades or something!

Our non-magic users definitely need the option to help out, and from a distance, if they have to.

Second, I want to work on security monitoring for rooms for people with sensitive items. While we're mostly a trustworthy crew, considering how Void activity can influence our minds having some sort of security system for cabins might help, even if it's only optional.

I'm planning on consulting with a few of my friends on that but if you have tech experience and are interested, please get back to me!

[She'll have to hit up a few people. It's important to be there for Kaiba after what happened, and taking the weight off him for this is the least she can do. If her face is on it, along with all her other projects, then it's less like he's challenging someone to get by him. Her friend just wants to be safe!]

Also would anyone mind if I use the corner of the gym car to start putting together my robot skeleton? I promise I'll keep it behind the climbing rack and out of the way. I just don't want to crowd the quiet car.

[Oh oh before she forgets!]

AhhhhA! Tidus! Roland! I need to talk to you two, too! I have ideas. And I got some stuff to help.

mtsilver_conquor

[For anyone who knows Eva, they can tell she's both low key worried but very much trying to remain optimistic.]

So, uh. Curufin's name's in gold. I- He's not leaving. Not until we see him walk out that gate next platform, but...

[There's an unsure, helpless shrug at the end. She's all too aware of what a name in gold typically means and she hates it, especially when it comes to her small found family here.] I'm going to hope for the best.

blue_ice

[ Kaiba is blissfully, thankfully, 19 again. Back to normal, back to work...except for one thing. ]

Everyone recovered from the children running amok? Good. As one of the rowdy kids, I cleaned up what was left of my mess. Thanks for looking out for me, those who did.

( cw: allusions to child abuse, more triggering subjects likely to come up in comments. proceed with caution + please warn for specifics )

mtsilver_conquor

So! Two things here! [Who gave her sugar? She's far more preppy than she has any rights to be. Hopefully, everyone by now at least knows her voice, if not name.]

First off, I've rehauled the Welcome Guide based on what info I've collected since last platform. Anyway, I've got the first draft ready for people to look over, and at this point, the more eyes on it, the better as the Guide needs to accurately reflect train life! [A steadying breath, then:] I'm also willing to take on two helpers with this. I can't keep up with everything no matter what I think. That said, it's not first come first serve.

[Another steadying breath before Eva continues.] Two! Curufin and I're going to hold an Orange Team meeting within the first few days after Platform Day. Not exactly sure when or where it'll be yet, but it'll have snacks and tea at the very least. The meeting's about intra-team stuff and general bits and pieces of housekeeping. Boring but needed given how big we've gotten. We'll remind you all about this on the day, too.

(:OOC: I've put up a Gdoc w/commenting enabled for the Welcome Guide with everything I, Fenix, am aware of OOC. Eva is far more up to date with things, so please treat it as ICly finished!

The Welcome Guide Helpers role will require at most two logs/threads every IC month as Eva checks in to see if anything needs to be added or is out of date.)

fun_thementalist

[ 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?

nocawsforconcern

[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!

mtsilver_conquor

I- I don't know what anyone else outside this carriage asked and I haven't heard anyone over the ICPs, but I- [Think, Eva. Now's not the time to be anything but rational, and maybe it's too soon, maybe it's not. She doesn't know. but she's never really been one to sit around and be helpless. She is, however, one to react to things, and that's what she's doing: Reacting.

Those who know her well can detect the banked helpless fury and frustration in her voice. Those in the Standard Car will see it as Eva slowly loses her cool while trying to keep it together for the sake of this.]

I think we need a train meeting? Don't know where -here in Standard where the computer is so we have a central database for everything?- but we should probably have one. Soon maybe? I don't know.

I- All I know is that whatever it said about time is false. We have proof amongst us it is. [And with that, she hangs up and goes to sit down and very much face in hands.]

(OOC: Anyone who wants to hijack this and get trainwide talking going is more welcome to do so! Same with those in Standard Car who want to threadjack stuff as Eva's in zero position to do anything other than face in hands.)

ayao

[He is tired and sad and more beside himself than he would like to admit.]

Xue Yang, answer me.

[That isn't how he wants to begin this broadcast, so he breathes in...and out.]

Has anyone seen Chifeng-Zun? I cannot find him and I know of no ill that has befallen him.

[Now, the part that really hurts.]

Huaisang, Zewu-Jun, I have failed you in not protecting him. I tried.

voidtreckermods

You have many questions.

Each passenger may ask three.

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

waywardking

[This is action if you happen to be in Sleeper 1.]

We need to move the kitchen. Or install teleporters. Hiking sucks.

adregem

(Gen - in Purple. | Roland - in Dark Blue.)

[ 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. )

(OOC: Expect threeways/fourways/whatever-have-you-ways wherever appropriate! The said Open Log will be posted on the 5th of December. This is not a council meeting, but a player-driven initiative :) Come one, come all! Please feel free to throw in stuff OOCly here. )

mtsilver_conquor

Given I'm going to be here for at least another day, I figured I'd update the out-of-date Welcome Guide thing we have. The last month has been ... Busy and I let it slide a bit. Last I looked, there should be copies next to all the carriage ICPs though they're at least a month out of date.

[Tired deadpan -even a bit sheepish- Eva is go, and by now, people should at least have an idea of why Eva's locked in a Medical Cabin.]

I think we should add a section on missions, but Lightning-san was handling this? [As far as she knew, anyway.] I also know we found out a fair bit this mission, and I believe we need to start record, as detailed as possible, on what we know about our situation.

[A sigh.] Regardless, if you have any additions to the Welcome Guide, let me know here or drop by my medical cabin.

(OOC: I've put up a Gdoc for the Welcome Guide and commenting should be enabled. Basically, if there's things on that that need updating or editing, make a comment!)

extrasaltypotato

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

I suspect we'll need both.

mtsilver_conquor

[As tired as she looks, there's still a gleam in her eye and quiet, unassuming confidence to the way Eva holds herself.]

Anyone who sits this out has my support, especially if you remember the aborted mission. Nor are Jungles for everyone and from what I understand of the visions that have been shared, this is a race against time. So, make sure you have your SCAs on. I know death doesn't stick here, but I, personally, would rather not lose anyone.

That said, Oranges, if you plan to go with another team, please let Curufin or I know. Preferably before drop-off; we don't know if the Teams'll all be within easy distance of each other and I'd rather assume they aren't.

I could be wrong, yet... [She shrugs with a small huff.] Pray the Fox doesn't laugh at us, hope for the best and prep for the worst, no?

so_dark_a_road

[ Curufin falls out of his bunk, as usual when waking from a mission vision. CRASH! He hits the floor, his blankets entangled with his legs, his right shoulder striking the floor with a thud. Luckily Elves don't break bones easily, but his shoulder is going to hurt. He scrambles to the ICP. ]

Wouldn't you know it, I've just had another prophetic dream. [ He shakes his head and drags his hand through his disordered black hair. ]

Didn't like the looks of this one, either.

I was in a jungle, and it was pleasant enough. Sun shining down through the branches, forest sounds, nice. But suddenly the light intensified, and something seemed wrong with it. I ran to the next clearing and gazed up at the sky, and what I saw was ominous. The sky had turned a glaring dark red and was getting darker by the moment. And then everything grew still, as though the world had stopped. I did not have time to react to that, or wonder what it meant. Abruptly the ground shook under my feet, and the dust rose, and there was fire everywhere, and I heard screams, screams, and more screams. And then I woke up.

Damn if this doesn't seem to me like another candidate for an aborted mission! What the hell happens to the mission world? Is it self-destructing, or is it attacked by unknown forces? Or is this some simple natural disaster?

[ Still shaking his head. He grabs for his jacket and pulls it on. ]

Did anybody else have this dream? Or any variation of this dream?

wisdominshadows

How quickly the months fly, do they not? And here we are once again, with another mission and another puzzle.

We're set for a jungle, this time. Something... immediate, I think. A new problem, though no less destructive for it. One that brings a sudden blast of fire and pain to the world.

[Sighing]

If anyone cares to speculate further at this hour, I'll be making myself a cup of tea in the dining carriage. And if that doesn't work... well. We'll see if we reach that point.

winterforecast

[Alexis stands before the camera in a tanktop and sweatpants in the training room, having clearly just finished working out.]

Now that all the newbies have settled in, nya, let me ask a question that I think has been on everyone's mind lately:

What are missions even like, nya?

The train tells us all that we do one every month, but it doesn't actually say what we're all expected to do on them, nya. I don't know about the rest of you, but I'd at least like to know what I'm going to be facing once we touch down. Basically the only thing I know is that the Red Team gets to murder things, nya, so you guys can count me in on that crew, but everything else is a mystery.

runicfeathers

[Willow's had this thought in her head for a while now and is curious with all the people on the train from different worlds, so she's finally getting brave enough to ask, even if she looks a little nervous on video.]

What are your views on deities? Are they real or are they fake?

[there's a pause before she gives her own input, getting her thoughts together properly.]

Gods in my world are... more concepts of the Mortal races of Rivaersa, as they do not truly exist themselves. Unless you count the planet herself, but most agree she's less a god, and more a living planet. We Immortals have become the idea of Gods, as we are as ancient as Rivaersa herself. The most ancient race, the Tharsi, are the closest to godly beings as any would get in my world; but again, they are not gods themselves, just a powerful and ancient race that spread knowledge through my world's inhabitants. Many "gods" of my world are merely the ancient Tharsi that bestowed knowledge upon the peoples, or any of the other ancient peoples and races. Mortals seem to take comfort in designating godly status to these ancients, which many of us find... strange and awkward at times.
