in and around cabin 3-D

Kaiba's roommates may note that he hasn't been sleeping much...at least, not at normal times. He's taken to burrowing under the blanket, using the flashlight function on his SCA to read or write. He's being very quiet and unobtrusive while he does this, but he might slip up sometimes. Sorry, roommates.

He'll head out to breakfast with everyone, of course, but sneak back to the room for naps throughout the day. It's mid-afternoon and everyone's socializing, while he trudges back through the sleepers with bags under his eyes.

"Screw this."

rock garden

Kaiba's next stop is the rock garden. He looks around warily for the weird book and his toll booth, but eventually settles into a corner at the end of one of the streams. He kneels, takes a breath, and splashes water on his face. He does it again for good measure. It doesn't seem to help.

Eventually he makes his way to a bench, tilting his head up and watching the void drift by through the clear ceiling. He probably...shouldn't do that for too long. He's humming a long forgotten tune as he sits.

cinema

Kaiba has selected a film that seems to fit his mood at the moment: Night of the Un-living Chefs, a bizarre spoof movie about a community of zombies with a bizarre ability to retain enough higher thought processing to cook.

Or at least that was what he thought he'd selected. Instead, the first episode of Merry Little Voidtrain is playing. He stares in disbelief for a moment:

"...seriously not in the mood right now."

But he resigns himself to taking his notebook out of his rucksack and starting on observations anyway.

"You look like shit," Ifrit comments one evening in their room. Sorry, she doesn't beat around the bush much.

What's more, she recognizes the look. She's seen it in the mirror often enough.

She's sitting in her bunk, legs dangling over the edge. She leans forward some. "Need to... I don't know, talk?"

"Here," Eva says softly, holding out a cup of -coffee? Yes. That's coffee- towards him. He likely knows her well enough by now to pick up on the fact she's very much masking her own feelings re: the last few days. "If you're going to be in a funk, hot drinks help ease it, or at least warm you up."

Kitty had come by the cinema carriage to find something to distract herself for a little bit. The children's show was cute, but at this time even she found it...a little much.

"...it's almost a bit too cheerful, isn't it?" she asks.

[ So, Bryn's still not really Up To Date with what all the different genres and whatever else are on their little list of movies, but even she gets the feeling that this is... not what she'd expect anyone to be tuning into here on the train. ]

What an... interesting choice for a movie...

[ Don't mind Bryn if she just pipes up from the door like a rude little goblin. ]

Normally he wouldn't approach someone he didn't know very well. Especially someone who seemed to be seeking solitude. However he recognises him from the video of a few days ago. He hadn't heard all that had happened but he had heard his initial video and the first few responses.

It was enough that he was moved to check on him. That and staring at the void like that was probably not a good idea.

"Kaiba-san?" He spoke softly as he approached and crouched down. "Um... sorry... Are you alright?"

Glorfindel catches sight of Kaiba as he is doing some chores. "You don't look so good. I'd ask several silly questions about recent events and being bothered, but why don't we skip that part, and you and I go someplace and talk?" he asked.

[ooc: if you are up for it, Glorfindel's aura has the ability to sooth and heal the minds and souls of people who have undergone great trauma. That is one of the reasons he was given it by the Valar. Now, if you prefer not to, we can just say he would have needed to spend more time with Glorfindel for longer lasting results :) ]

Minako hadn't actually checked out the cinema car since she first arrived, mostly because she had become rather distracted with the gaming car and all the video games that had been there.

But today she felt like doing something different and so the cinema car it was. As she stepped in she paused for a moment looking at what was on the screen and tilting her head.

"Interesting choice."

Curufin is spending a little time in the Garden Carriage with his flute, practicing a new song. His notebook is open on his lap, and he sits on the turf beside one of the streams opposite Kaiba's. He sees Kaiba splashing water on his face and then going to a bench to Void-gaze.

"The Void is inspiring, isn't it?" he remarks, his voice both humorous and a little sad.
