A New Platform [Intro Post May]
On the Train
Like clockwork, the Voidtreckers are awoken by a familiar message this morning.
"Good morning Voidtreckers, it is day one of the month of Llama. Points have been updated on the system."
With points updated, everyone can spend the morning shopping. Most people will be expecting the second announcement that comes a few hours later.
"Shortly arriving into a designated void platform. Exit from void in ten, nine, eight, seven, six, five, four, three, two, one." A lurch and a jolt and the windows fill with the fog that means they are at a platform. The air is sticky and warm, the windows almost immediately dewing over with the humidity outside.
As usual the first to leave the train notice nothing, walking silently, rucksacks on their backs, towards the barriers. Azula, Prisoner, Amery Vallet, Dyme Graydon, Grimmjow Jaegerjaquez, Yoite, Piccolo, Bulla Brief, Xie Lian, Kurosaki Ichigo, Hua Cheng, Renee Corbin, and Ran Mouri; all pass through the platform, not looking back before they disappear through the barriers and into the fog beyond.
But on the platform itself there are new faces. Wearing hoodies in all four colours, in various states of confusion.
For New Passengers
At first all they can see is steam billowing around them as they come to their senses. As their eyes adjust, they find themselves on a platform, rich wood and pale stone forming a natural, tree-like structure overhead. Behind them is a set of barriers, and in front of them is a single set of tracks extending both ways into thick fog. The air is rainforest-hot, and the sound of frogsong can be faintly heard over the drip of the artificial canopy.
They are standing, in clothes that are not their own and a style they might not even recognise. They are carrying a rucksack on their back. For a moment it seems to just be them, alone in the white haze; then the fog begins to fade and they realise they aren’t alone.
The platform isn't large, and seems smaller with twenty-eight figures scattered around, all facing the tracks, all dressed in cargo trousers and hoodies. Then there is a roaring sound and out of the fog arrives a train. Jet black with gold writing on the side. The Voidtrecker Express. There is a hiss as the doors slide open and out pours a strange assortment of people, over a hundred at least. Some are human, some are less so. Most are wearing the same hoodie in one of the four colours, red, orange, blue and purple, though some are sporting different clothes in a variety of styles.
Behind them, the doors close, and the train is cloaked in the same fog that hides the world beyond the platform.
The Train
After a short time, the fog clears and the doors hiss open again. Those from the train may encourage those on the platform to board. It’s not like there's anywhere else to go and even if there was, you feel a pull. A need to board, a feeling that staying on the platform would lead to something terrible. If that is not enough, there are plenty of people on the platform now, to encourage them onto the train.
Each ICP shows the same message and next to the screens there are stacks of leaflets written by those on the train, with further information (see
'Publications'). The store rooms have been restocked with fresh ingredients, including several crates of nori, the ingredient of the month of Llama, as well as all sundries.
For passengers that have bought items, these are also scattered around the luggage carriage in various suitcases and bags. For each member of Purple Team, a small silver box with their name on it contains a glittery cupcake.
New passengers will find their ticket allows them into their cabins. They may need to negotiate for beds, but at least they won't be alone in their confusion - since the sleeper carriages are now double-decker, and experience isn't going to avail the passengers in finding their rooms.
Room is tight but there are storage cubbies at the head of each bed, beds fold up and the bottom bunks double as benches for the small table. There is storage under those benches full of spare blankets and pillows.
The new double carriage's transfer ICP is active, allowing people to move to a double room should they meet the requirements with another person, though they'll have to move their belongings themselves.
Departure
A second horn sounds to encourage any stragglers taking advantage of the fresh air, and the doors slide shut. Veteran passengers know what will happen next, but they may wish to brief their new companions.
The train sets off, the fog obscuring the view again as it picks up speed.
"Welcome aboard, passengers of the Voidtrecker Express." A female-coded artificial sounding voice echoes throughout the train. "Please take the time to read the passenger information displayed on the Information and Communication points and familiarise yourself with the layout and emergency exits."
The train begins to tilt, leaving the ground and rising up into the fog-filled sky.
"Entrance into Voidspace imminent. New passengers are advised to remain seated. Entry into Voidspace in ten, nine, eight, seven, six, five, four, three, two, one."
A shudder, a jolt, a lurch to the left. A flash of light, colourful and blinding. As quick as it happens it is done. The train seems to steady itself. The fog from the windows is gone now, replaced with a kaleidoscope of ever-changing colours.

"Oh! Uh, yeah, it's cool!" He said with a bit of a more relaxed smile. Hopefuly he meant that, unlike his roommate who kind of creeped him out.
"Well it's been about a month already. Wow, time really flies."
no subject
A month both seems long and like no time at all. Asch just nods. "Do you have any idea who's been here the longest?"
Yes, he's just going to go ferreting for information that way, as long as the guy seems friendly.
no subject
It reminded him of home. "But we didn't really see any way of getting out of here during that either, so...I don't know! But you might want to ask the team lead maybe?"
no subject
There's a linguistic quirk that says teammate-partner rather than romance-partner, but who knows how well that's going to translate.
no subject
"Blue is...uh..." He tried to consider it. Noctis was in red, so he couldn't be sure he'd met the person. "I don't think I've met them!"
no subject
To be fair, he's also far more concerned about what kind of person Jade's team lead is than his own. Blade protectiveness can be like that.
no subject
"But really Blue seems to have a lot of people who do different things, but because I follow Noct wherever he goes I can't commit to that, you know? I wanna help, but my job comes first."
no subject
"Jade and I will wind up going together on whichever team we go with, I'm sure," he says. "Normally blades go where the fighting is fiercest, since we're hardier than humans, but there's plenty of people who don't seem to be normal humans here, either."
no subject
"And well I think red team is supposed to be doing a lot more fighting. They did last time. Lots of daemons."
no subject
It does make some sense, he supposes. For all their power, neither he nor Jade would prefer to be on the front lines. They would both prefer to avoid fighting, specifically because they're so powerful that it's going to attract attention if they do. Though that's probably less of a worry, here.
"We might go with them sometimes, then," he says. He'll have to bring it up with Jade, but Asch doesn't think the objections will be real objections. Only the token ones that are part and parcel of Jade.
no subject
"I think all the teams need help so you don't have to if you don't want to fight. I just don't mind. It's just like being at home." He continued on cheerfully. "Pretty much everything tries to kill you."
Eos was great.
no subject
The idea of not wanting to fight, though - it's a nice thought. There are a handful of blades like that. Asch isn't one of them. There are things worth fighting for - that is, in some ways, the core of what a blade, especially a justice blade, is. "Don't worry about that," Asch says. "Fighting is the easy part."
no subject
Prompto nodded. "Yeah, I think so too, probably."
proably winding down on this one
No problem
