[It's the afternoon after platform. Ryo doesn't look happy - how could he, after what happened at platform? - but he's holding himself together, and he can at least keep calm and manage something close to neutral in front of the ICP.]

I don't know how many of you knew her, but- Persephone left today. She's a goddess of spring, and she did a lot of upkeep in the greenhouse car. It's going to be a lot harder to keep everything growing well without her here, and I could use the help, if anyone wants to lend a hand. You don't have to have plant magic or be good at gardening - you just have to be willing to try.

Thank you.
fivemilesdeep: (A good idea)

[The video in the kitchen car turns on, showing Ryo holding up a tray of freshly baked muffins - half poppyseed and half chocolate chip, from the looks of it - and wearing a smile a bit more mischievous than usual.]

I don't know how many people have looked at the shop today, but we can now vote on improvements to the train. I had six votes, and I'd imagine most people have about that many.

I also have freshly baked muffins, and I'd like to offer a trade: if you vote to add scaffolding in the garden car, I'll give you a muffin, as long as I still have them available. If we get enough votes for scaffolding and you still want a muffin, voting for protein and dairy or for meat will also count. I'll be in the kitchen for a little while if you want to come talk to me.

[Yes, he is happily bribing the train to get what he wants. No, he has no shame - at least, not over this.]

Also, Thanatos, can you come see me when you get a minute? No rush.

[There's a poppyseed muffin set aside for Thanatos. Ryo takes care of his friends.]

This is Thanatos. I am Death Incarnate on my world, and I can sense death. If anyone starts to act more recklessly or endanger themselves due to recent revelations, I will heal you with my manadrive and alert all the healers on the train to do the same. They will find you.

[ And that's probably more of a threat than Death approaching. Speaking of threats...

Mort jumps off Thanatos's shoulder and onto the ICP to squeak his own message about not getting hurt and making Thanatos upset because Thanatos is upset enough (even if no one can really understand Mort.) Thanatos scrambles to catch Mort before he slips down the screen, but Mort continues squeaking even as Thanatos holds him, stroking his head with a finger in hopes of calming Mort down.

So please do not attempt to hasten towards my domain just because you are not as physically present as you once were.

[[ OOC: If any other healers wish to strongly discourage this kind of behavior or offer more encouraging thoughts to the train passengers as a whole, feel free to add on. ]]

[About an hour after everyone's unceremonious return, the video feed clicks on to show Ryo in the dining car, looking serious.]

Three things:

One: Is everyone okay?

Two: There's food in the dining car, and coffee and tea and hot chocolate. Come get something to eat if you need it.

Three: What happened?

[OOC: ICP and in-person replies are great, threadjacking is great, everything is great! Go nuts.]

[Ryo gets on the ICPs the evening of the visit to the Nexus with a warning - better to share what he's learned than to let someone get hurt, even if the implications are...a little embarrassing.]

Be careful with the nectar pods if you eat them - the glowing liquid doesn't come off without a few good washes, and evidently it attracts one of the really big fish out there. Don't get any on you if you don't want to get...well, eaten.

Though if anyone wants to try to snare one of those fish, I...have bait you can use.

[Guess who painted glow in the dark designs on his hoodie because he was having fun. Guess who was lucky enough to get a warning before anything had the chance to snap him up. Guess.]

I do plan on going out and gathering more of the plants tomorrow to help with our food stores, if anyone with an arms band or another means of storage wants to join me.

[It's been a few hours since everyone has returned from the mission. Ryo looks tired - but gods, who isn't by this point? - but he's still here.]

I'm in the dining car. I have coffee and tea and hot chocolate - the good kind. I also have something that'll knock you out until tomorrow, if you want that. If anyone wants anything, you're welcome to come pick it up.

You don't have to stay and talk, but...if you want to, I'm here. I can also help you if you're hurt or still coughing from the smog on the mission.

Just...don't feel like you have to handle this alone. Even if it's not me, there's always someone willing to help. You just need to ask.

[[OOC: I'm good with action tags, handwaving, multiple people in a thread, w/e - go for it!]]

 Hey, my train trekkers, my main men, my wonderful women, my koo-koo kids, and everyone and everything else in-between! This is Della Duck, reporting to you live from her cabin with a chance to feel super good about yourself! First, a bit of background info. In my world, there's an organization called - drumroll, please - theeeee...

[ She holds up a slightly tattered and worn-out book with several post-it notes on almost every page. ] 

Junior Woodchucks! The BEST group ever for kids to learn all the skills under the sun and prepare them for all of life's challenges and beyond! When you accomplished something major, you earned a badge! And, no big surprise, I earned a lot of them when I was that age. And I feel like you all have accomplished SO MUCH! Whether here on the train, back home, or in other worlds we've been to, you've all got a lot to be proud of!

With that in mind, I decided to make you guys the Junior Woodchuck Badges you all deserved!  I'll be going all around the train and handing them out!  Even if you're a total stranger, I want to hear the things you're proud of! Because there are things we should all feel great about ourselves!

For example!

[ She fishes out some of the badges she's already made, and shows them one by one. ] 

The first time you made a campfire! Or, making a new dish that's actually edible! Or putting out someone else's campfire that went wildly out of control! Master of treating injuries, making twenty friends, craftsman extraordinaire... And if what you're proud of doesn't exist in the guidebook, then phooey, I'll make it up myself! BECAUSE YOU ALL NEED TO LOVE YOURSELVES A LOT MORE!

... A-hem. See you around, guys!

[ if you'd like, feel free to go right to Action to meet her all over the train! ]
