A New Platform [Intro Post January]
On the Train
After a very quiet latter half of the month of Catfish the calendar clicks over. Passengers wake up in their beds as usual to the passenger announcement. "Good morning passengers, it is day one of the month of domino.".
Those that have been on board a while know that new months usually come with new people and so the message a few hours later will not be a surprise. "Shortly arriving into a designated void platform. Exit from void imminent." A lurch and a jolt and they are soon surrounded by the fog that means they are at a platform.
It will come as a relief that no one leaves this time, no one with packed bags to walk silently towards the barriers.
Added to that the platform itself holds more people then it ever has before. Twenty one figures, all the colours are represented. The ground is icy and their breath pools in white clouds around them.
For New Passengers
At first all they can see if steam. Billowing around them as they come to their senses. They are standing, in clothes that are not their own, styles 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 but then the steam begins to fade and they realise they aren’t alone.
The platform is not large and it holds twenty one figures all facing the tracks, all dressed in cargo trousers and hoodies. The air is cold, the ground icy beneath your feet. Both left and right the tracks disappear into the mist. 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 into the cold step a selection of people. Some are human, some are less so. They are wearing the same hoodie in one of the four colours, red, orange, blue and purple.
The Train
The doors hiss open. Those from the train may encourage those on the platform to board. It’s not like there is 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 not be a good thing also it’s very cold out on the platform. The train is warmer.
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. The store rooms have been restocked and it seems that water chestnuts are the month of Domino’s ingredient of choice! Any of orange team who who go to check the luggage cart will find a parcel containing gingerbread snowflakes, decorated with icing. One for each of the orange team, including new members, come share in the reward!
New passengers will find their tickets allow them into their cabins. They may need to negotiate for beds, especially if they want a top bunk!
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 and you will hopefully find a pillow for your bed if it has not been nabbed by a roommate, there are also spare blankets for if it gets cold.
Departure
A second horn sounds to encourage any stragglers and the doors slide shut. Veteran passengers know what will happen next, they may wish to brief their new companions.
The train sets off, the fog obscuring the view 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."
Hopefully someone warns you that you really want to heed that warning because a moment later there is 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. The fog from the windows is gone now, replaced with a kaleidoscope of ever changing colours.

Hm, I think about a month now, as they count time. But I never suffered much from such trouble with the body's senses.
no subject
[ He shrugs. ]
I'm Naruto. What's your name?
no subject
Naruto. A star shines on the hour of our meeting - I am Nerdanel.
no subject
[ He's pretty delighted to find someone's as lost on this terminology as he is, and wonders if her 'folk' and his 'folk' are anything like each other. ]
[ He uh. Also looks up at the roof of the train when she mentions a star, then squints out the window as if looking for it. Clearly he takes most things pretty literally. He soon gives up though, when the void offers nothing but.. well.. void. ]
... So.. What kinda world do ya come from, Nerdanel?
no subject
no subject
Uhh. I'm from.. the shinobi world, in Konoha, the village hidden in the leaves, in the fire country.
[ It.... doesn't sound as impressive as hers, and he exhales a little breath as he scratches idly at the whisker marks on his face. ]
Your world sounds cool.. All mysterious and stuff.
no subject
The village hidden in the leaves...how lovely that sounds! I would say yours sounds far more mysterious to me!
no subject
[ He shrugs. Modesty or jealousy over her cool sounding world, it's unclear. ]
What's your world like? Where you live, what's that like?
no subject
But Aman is a fair land, home of the Valar, the powers of the world, and protected by them. My home is the city of Tirion, where the white walls and the wide streets are full of the Noldor, the Deep Elves. We are builders and crafters, explorers and loremasters and inventors, we Noldor.
no subject
What has got his attention, though, is the mention of her family. ]
You're a mom? [ He asks, expression falling to something blank. ] You've got kids? More than one?
no subject
I am, yes! Seven sons. [ She says fondly ] We did try for a daughter, my husband and I, but it seems that we were never destined for that. They are all grown now, of course, but they are still my boys. Three of them are here, in fact - the eldest two, and the second youngest.
