A new Platform [Intro post~ August]
For those on the Train
"Good morning passengers, it is day sixteen of the month of Apple." The train announces as always as everyone wakes up the morning of the sixteenth. "Due to your success on Hub World #5739 your team points have been updated on the system. The on train shop has unlocked new stock."
For those going to investigate it might seem like the boredom of the last two weeks will be alleviated a little. More so after a few hours when there is a second announcement.
"Shortly arriving into a designated void platform. Exit from void imminent."
By now they should know to hold on as the train jerks and jolts. There is only fog outside the windows but the train soon comes to a stop. The doors hiss open.
As they exit into the fog they may notice Hibiki exiting from the luggage carriage door. She hasn’t been seen since the Hub World and they might be forgiven for believing she stayed behind. But here she is, backpack on her back as she walks through the station. She heads no call, reacts to no words and cannot be stopped as she walks to the ticket barrier and disappears through it.
It is impossible to follow. But you soon may be distracted because this platform is far from empty.
For new arrivals
At first all you can see if steam. Billowing around you as you come to your senses. You are standing, in clothes that are not your own, styles you might not even recognise. You are carrying a rucksack on your back. For a moment it seems to just be you, alone in the white haze but then the steam begins to fade and you realise you aren’t alone.
The platform is not very large, but it hold twelve figures all facing the tracks, all wearing similar clothing, even if one of them is a spider. The tracks stretch left and right into steam, or perhaps fog. Nothing can be seen to either side. There is a wall around the platform and the only entrance is a ticket barrier. It cannot be open, nor do there seem to be any staff.
What there is, is a train. Jet black and gleaming where it stands on the rails.Voidtrecker Express is emblazoned in the engine in gold. There is a hiss as the doors slide open.
Out step a selection of people, wearing clothes just like yours.
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.
Once on the train there is plenty to explore. A new sleeper carriage has appeared as has a medical bay. Neither were there before those already on the train had disembarked to meet their new travelling companions.
Each ICP shows the same message. The food stores have been topped up with new fresh food, though it seems that eggs are still predominately on the menu.
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. Those who boarded two weeks ago will know what is coming next.
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.

This man is in red too. On her team then along with Lightning and Tony. Teams for missions, the glowing words had said Ciyesia was a training missions, she's understanding that as there will be other missions. Real missions.
She approaches cautiously. Everyone here is strange but they all seem as confused as she and the others had been a few weeks ago.
But now they had a little bit more knowledge, which gave them more power. They could share that, she supposed, with these new people.
no subject
"What is it then?" A pause. Then the inner linguist wins. "Who taught you to speak like that?"
no subject
She paused in her explanation of what a train was, she's sort of glad to know she's not the only one who is from a world where they don't exist, to wrinkle her nose.
"No one did be teaching me. I did just be talking like this all my life."
no subject
"Where are you from, girl?"
no subject
She'd never seen anyone like him before, except the other new man in red, he looked similar. They didn't look human but they didn't look like monsters like Dread or Sarai.
The way he held himself was almost like a priest, at least it was similar to the grace priestess Elena showed. "Where do you be being from?"
no subject
The name of the city, the very word sounds alien. Feanor knows every language spoken in Valinor. This word doesn't belong to any of them. This fact alone should count as evidence that what the girl says might be true. She is from another world. The implications of that fact are completely other matter. Something to investigate later.
"Tirion. Also a city." To call the white city on a hill 'also a city' is quite an understatement. It also is not wrong. "I doubt you ever heard about it."
no subject
"Do everyone be looking like you there?"
no subject
“What do you mean like me?”
What kind of silly question that is? Of course they do.
Actually... they don’t. The Khazad don’t. Then there are the Valar and Maiar. And the other Quendi... Feanor tends to forget about anyone who’s not a Noldo. Especially that technically there are no dwarves in Tirion - at least to his a bit outdated knowledge - so he’s not entirely wrong.
no subject
Because the closest she could come to was he looked like a priest. Not that she had ever seen one, but she had seen Priestess Elena and it was sort of the same thing. Except he had pointy ears. Not pointy enough to look like a monster-person though.
no subject
Certainly, he's not a monster-person either. There are no humans where I come from. it's a thing he almost says but doesn't. Because, yes, they are. He's just never seen one before. The child is a human so maybe she hasn't seen any of his kind either.
"I'm an Elda, that means Firstborn because we came to Arda before humans did."
Magic, that's a hard one, he does wield Power and he can hear the Music. Even here, even if faintly, more like a whisper. He wouldn't call that magic. Now, explain that to a child.
Magic it is.
"Yes, I do. Of sorts."
no subject
So an Elda and a priest, or whatever they called it in his world. "There do be being another priestess... magic person on here. She do be being called Lightning and she do be being in the red group too."
Like them.
no subject
As a whole. Middle-earth, Valinor, everything. He will spare her the lecture on the literal meaning.
A priestess. So a priestess is a magic wielder in her world. Good to know. He'll remember that. Another one from the red team?
"She is? What is she like?"
no subject
But onto Lightning. "She do be being mainly a healer but she can be fighting too and she can be doing lightning magic. Her hair do be being pink. I do no be knowing how."
