New Rooms! Day Twelve

[voidtreckermods]

Finally, after the evacuation is over it is time to board the train once again. As the doors close and they shudder out into the void the familiar voice speaks.

"Welcome back Voidtreckers. Well done on your successful mission. There has been a small accommodation change so please all check your tickets to ensure you find the correct cabin."

Indeed some passengers may have already tried to enter their rooms to find they cannot. If they check their tickets or the passenger roster they will find their room has been changed.

Anyone who has moved cabins will find that any things they did not take with them on the mission have been moved from their room and are packed neatly in a suitcase in their new cabin.

Time to greet your new roommates and start the negotiating for top bunks all over again.

1-E

[freakyfishdad]

Well, at least it's still a cabin E. Still, Mako was just getting used to his new roommates, and now he has to meet a whole new group of people. None of them are ones he's particularly familiar with, either. Still, he smiles politely as he enters the cabin, waving at all of them.

"Hi everyone! I'm Mako Tsunami! I hope we can get along well." He first hurries to secure his own items, glancing around at the various bunks. "I don't have any particular preference for which bed to take," he notes. "So if any of you do, I'm fine with you picking first."

3-A

[flatteries]

Inigo checks his ticket the moment he can hear that announcement, but.. well, it seems like there's no chance there. Still just cabin three A. He heads over to the cabin, taking a quick peek inside, but.. well, it doesn't look different? Maybe nothing changed at all, who knows.

But regardless, he lingers outside of the cabin, looking around to see who else may be around.

"Anyone got cabin A on their ticket now? Or still?"

2-E

[happyends]

Madoka most definitely headed straight for her usual cabin. If it hadn't been for the sudden announcement, she totally would have wandered straight into the wrong room. She starts blushing the moment she looks at her ticket and realises her error, instead quickly heading over to cabin E in the second rather than the first sleeper.

She peeks her head in, looking a little shy. "Um, I think I need to sleep here now..?"

[pleple]

And who else is right behind her but Ple Two? She pauses when she spots Madoka checking out their new room, and then approaches when it doesn't seem like much is happening. This is... nice. Because Madoka is nice. Hopefully the rest of their room is pretty chill too, though. "What a coincidence."

[azrthmtrnznthos]

A few steps behind them both is Raven, as she'd checked her ticket to find it was the same. Of course, her plan was to grab her backpack and stuff and relocate to a quiet Cabin room for a day or so. Mostly because she'd been dealing with so many people lately she didn't really want to interact with anyone. Friend or otherwise.

Blinking though, when she recognized both Ple Two and Madoka. Paused, before clearing her throat gently. "You two have been relocated? I usually grab one of the top-bunks, but I'm not picky honestly.At least as long as it's quiet."

[happyends]

Those are two familiar voices. When Madoka turns around to look and confirm it's actually the two other girls she's thinking of, her expression grows into a mixture of surprise and just plain delight. She was so nervous about maybe having to share a room with strangers or people she finds more intimidating. But instead it's Ple Two and Raven, who - while both really amazing and infinitely capable in Madoka's eyes - are nice. And her friends. Not to mention she's already used to sharing a room with one of them.

So when some of the initial surprise fades, Madoka starts to smile especially wide.

"Are we all sharing a cabin now..? I'm so glad!"

There's no hugging. (Yet.) Consider yourself lucky.

1-C

[faithfulsupport]

Ignis was tired and in need of some rest and a shower. Relieved that he'd come home and his tiny team was in one piece, he gratefully boarded the train, refusing to think of how he'd made it last time.

The voice had him pause and he checked his ticket. Green eyes blinked in surprise as he now had another cabin assignment. This couldn't be right, and he double and triple checked but the ticket now bore 1-C. He knew he was tired but this was preposterous, why had it changed while he was away?

There'd be no negotiation for a bunk because he liked being closer to the ground though he was certainly no stranger to heights. His stuff was here and he awkwardly stared at it.

"Why were we reassigned?" He's talking to himself here.

[runs_on_batteries]

Tony was glad to be back on the train. As much as these missions seemed to give his new life meaning and a much needed adrenaline rush, they were tiring and he was glad to return to his projects and other activities on the train.

He frowned a little at the announcement and looked at his ticket. Nothing was strange there, so he didn't think much more about it. He considered going straight to Ignis' room but he wanted to drop off his rucksack first and freshen up. Stepping into the room, he was thrown off to find the very man he had been thinking about in front of him. He paused with a confused look and looked on the outside of the doorway at the list of residents.

Huh.

"Well, this is convenient," he remarked, giving Ignis a smirk and coming up to slap him in the ass.

[faithfulsupport]

Tony's voice barely registered before he felt his ass being touched. Knowing two ladies were going to be in here with them, Ignis jumped and turned around to face the man. "You shouldn't do that openly since we're going to be sharing this space with Little One and Eva." Note he didn't say the gesture wasn't welcome or that he didn't enjoy it.

This was its own problem but it wasn't unworkable, they'd solve it. But green eyes noted that no one was here at the moment. So a smile appeared on the advisor's face, and he lifted a hand to gently touch Tony's face. Relief flooded through him at both of them being safe and sound and more importantly, together.

"It is convenient darling, but it does make me wonder how closely we're monitored."

[runs_on_batteries]

Tony looked around. "Who else is here?" He joked back, though there was a tightness to his jaw that indicated he was taking that warning more seriously than he was letting on. This might be convenient in some ways, but this did pose some new challenges. The last thing he wanted was for Buttercup to witness something she shouldn't. He was a little less concerned about Eva because she was a bit older, but he still wanted to avoid that hornet's nest of drama.

When Ignis' hand touched his face, he tossed his rucksack onto the floor and wrapped his arms around the advisor. Kissing him solidly, he could feel some of the stress from the past week slipping away. No one had died or gotten seriously injured. He'd have to do an inventory later regarding what had been taken from the world that would be useful here, but that was for some other time. Right now, he was going to enjoy these few minutes of being alone with his boyfriend.

"Feanor mentioned a similar worry during out last council meeting. This place seems to have no privacy whatsoever between us and the conductor or whoever is in charge. It might be hard to hide the fact that something keeps sending me back to my bunk every single night." He looked at the bunk and then back at Ignis. "Have a preference on which bunk you'd like to have as officially yours? I make no promises of staying out of your bed though."

1-B

[deductiongeek]

And here Conan had just gotten used to knowing that two of his roommates knew his real age and name. He'd actually been rather looking forward to not being treated as a little kid in his room, at least.

He checks his ticket, making sure to keep his hand shielding the actual name printed on it, and makes his way to Cabin 1-B. There he starts checking over the bunks to see where his stuff had been moved. He had a book, and he wasn't about to lose track of that.

2:C - open

[blueberryprincess]

So. They'd all been shuffled to new rooms, have they? Evie didn't discover this until she'd tried to get into her old room and her ticket didn't work. Checking the names on the door, she'd realized that while technically she did have the right room (as in the room she'd been in previously), she was no longer a resident in it.

It took her glancing at the ticket in her hand to see she'd been reassigned.

That was fine. Maybe a change of scenery and a change of roommates would help her get into a better routine. Isle Kids handled shake-ups pretty well.

Speaking of Isle Kids, it was a moment before she'd gotten to her new room that she thought she better tell Harry where she was now, and then a second later, Evie was standing outside the door to 2C, laughing.

Looks like she didn't have to tell Harry anything. His name was on the door, too. Using her ticket to get into the room, she finds her belongings and immediately sets to work putting her things away, wondering if Harry found the reassignment yet.

At least neither of them had to worry about Khary, anymore.

[schrodingersghost]

Great. New roommates. He'd barely gotten used to the last set and they were already changing things around?

Danny double checks the number on his ticket and then makes his way to 2-C. He pushes it open and and gives anyone who already in there an uncertain grin.

"Uh, hello? I guess we're roommates now."

[blueberryprincess]

Evie turns to look at the person that entered the room and gives Danny her best, most charming grin. She’s pleased at this turn of events. She gets to be with someone from home, and a change of scenery never really did her any harm. Putting the last of her things away, she turns to face Danny and nods.

“It appears that way. By any chance, do you know why they switched us up?”

[schrodingersghost]

"No clue. Do you know if its ever happened before?"

He'd only been here a month, so for all he knew this was a monthly thing.

2:A

[so_dark_a_road]

Curufin comes back to his cabin to discover that he is still a resident of it, and so are Reigen and Jessie. But Renee has been swapped out for Joscelin.

"I wonder what the train authorities are up to?" he wonders. "Do they have some stake in who rooms with whom?"

Re: 2:A

[unholyandbroken]

"Or jus trying to make us crazy.' comes Jessie's observation. She had been in the back on a smoke break and newly return to the room shuffle.

[so_dark_a_road]

"I'd go for that explanation," he agrees. "Trying to keep us just a little off-balance."

And then he grins at her. "Did you have a nice smoke?"

1-A

[enthunder]

A quick glance at her ticket told her she didn't have anything to worry about. A quick glance at the nameplate on the cabin door, a few minutes and a short, unhurried walk later, told her that she might potentially have a few things to worry about. A few spider-teen-shaped things.

At least, until she checked the ICP to confirm that Peter and Gwen hadn't disappeared in the short time between the evacuation and the train leaving. She'd be unnerved by losing all of her cabinmates, but at least she recognised the names that replaced them.

Placated, she began setting up the few souvenirs she'd managed to scavenge during the week, and waited for the Thunderstorms to find their new cabin.

[sweetnessandfight]

For her part, Sarai breezes past 1A to start, because she's used to being in 1B--and practically bounces off the doors when they fail to part to open. She'd waved her ticket at it!!!

But that is not her name on the door, and neither is Dread's name on the door any more--she stops the Roegadyn from making her mistake with a hand.

"Our rooms have changed!" she exclaimed, and started with the easiest notion--going back to check the first cabin. "But we're right here, in 1A--that's convenient..."

Until she realizes just who else they're rooming with--her giggling can likely be heard up and down the hall.

[thebiggestguy]

Oh dear. Dread recognized those giggles.

"Hm," was all he said, leaning in to look at the nameplates. Then, with a slight shrug, he stepped up to the door. Sure enough, it opened; they definitely had moved again.

3B

[hashtagparkerluck]

Peter finds his way to his new cabin and looks up st see who his new cabin-mates are. Gwen. Awesome. Miles. Also Awesome. Aaaaand Aunt May. Uh... well.. not awesome. Not that he doesn't want to share a cabin with May it was more that Gwen's his girlfriend and now everything is going to be awkward.

Whatever, this may as well have happened.

He shakes his head and swipes his ticket before climbing over to the same bunk he'd had in the past cabin. But what if Miles wants a top bunk? He could handle being on the bottom bunk. It's not like he was really going to be sleeping anyway.

He moves his stuff to a bottom bunk and crawls into bed to just rest for a bit.

Re: 3B

[hibana_incursa]

Gwen shows up a few moments later, bag over her shoulder, ticket in her hand. She sees the names on the door and while she's about the same place as her boyfriend is in regards to May being there? She's also staring at Miles name.

She hasn't seen her best friend in ages, so there may or may not be a small frown on her face.

Swinging herself up to the bunk above Peter's, she's quiet for a few minutes as she stretches out with a huff.

"Miles better still be on this stupid train somewhere, otherwise I'm punching the wall again and I'm pretty sure I'll be pissed enough to actually get through it."

Re: 3B

[mayp]

May finds her way to the cabin that she has newly been assigned. Glancing at the other names on the door she raises an eyebrow. It was going to be interesting living with the three spider children but she was going to mum them. Hard. They probably needed someone to look after them. Oh, she will allow them some freedom but a parental eye wouldn't go amiss.

Opening the door she finds her nephew and Gwen already there. "Hi you two," she says throwing her stuff onto the other bottom bunk.

[faithfulsupport]

Ignis looked up at Tony when Buttercup piped up. He still had been working on the cookies and had remained focused on that while he waited. Patience was something he had in abundance and it was being exerted here.

Moving over to the coffee pot after Tony, the advisor poured himself some coffee. Then he went about the business of getting the oven preheated and getting the frosting prepared.
