A new platform [intro post September]
For those on the train
“Good morning passengers, it is day one of the month of Bassoon.” The train announces the morning the month changes. It seems the train counts months in days of thirty. Team Points have been updated on the system.
The day continues as most days do, chores, eating, getting ready for another day. But those who suspect that a change of month may bring something else are correct. It is only an hour or two later that there is another 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 Evie exiting from the luggage carriage door. Much like Hibiki the last time they were on a platform. She leaves the train, 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.
Strange. But even stranger still is that there on the platform that whole time is Evie. Dressed in purple, backpack on back, with her are others. Waiting for the train.
For new arrivals
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 your 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 very large, but it hold twelve figures all facing the tracks, all wearing similar clothing. 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, some less human than others, wearing clothes just like those worn by those on the platform.
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 board there is lots to explore. Passengers both old and new will hopefully be delighted to see the boredom of this train journey is somewhat alleviated by the introduction of a game carriage. Plenty of games, both familiar and new to play with your new travelling companions.
Each ICP shows the same message. If Red team go and look they will find a box in the luggage compartment that contains their prize. A dralite themed cake lolly each. There are enough for the new members of Red team too, share in your teams previous success!
The food stores have been topped up with new fresh food. Salmon has taken over as the primary ingredient of choice. Hopefully everyone likes fish!
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. For those who boarded two weeks ago they 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.

Re: Between the Devil and the Deep Blue Sea - OTA
[ Evie states with a small, annoyed huff. No, Harry. She's not annoyed you're here. This whole situation is goblin refuse and every line of Evie Grimhilde speaks to a desire to get to the bottom of the whole situation. She wants answers. No one seems to have any beyond they're now part of life on a train that has some unknown destination. ]
You haven't seen anyone else from home, have you?
no subject
[ Maybe it's a surprise party, but that seems unlikely.
He shakes his head in answer to the question. ]
Can barely see anybody in this fog, but you're the first from home, yeah. So what are you thinking? Unfriendly fog, bunch of strangers, boring clothes?
no subject
[ Does she already look stressed? Of course she does. This situation has already been rough on her. She's met several people for the first time that already knew her. So she's glad to have Harry there. He makes sense.
She's so bothered by the situation that her usual smiling face lacks that smile and instead looks a bit pinched with worry. Her fingers fidget together, nervous energy making her quiet.
]
no subject
[ Not that he seems especially bothered. And then he catches her clothes too. ]
Hey! We match! Whatever that means.
no subject
[ Evie wonders what it means, too, looking from her purple attire to Harry's. It doesn't look good on either of them, is one thought she has for a fleeting moment, followed rapidly by ways she can improve it to work better for the both of them.
The next semi-solid thought she has a moment later as she shifts the rucksack on her back is there's some thing in there that's poking her back and she's not a fan. So she heads to a nearby bench, swinging the rucksack and dropping it on, opening it up and digging through.
There are clothes that she doesn't recognize, a pair of blue pajamas that she does, some underwear and the like. A journal, a pen. All manner of other things and then... ]
What in the...?
[ The only thing she actually physically removes from the rucksack is, of all things, Maleficent's spellbook. ]
Why would I have this?
[ She turns to look at Hook, holding the book in her hands and staring at it with confusion . ]
This isn't even mine. It belongs in the museum, not here.
no subject
[ But he eagerly watches over her shoulder as she rifles through, not that he can see much, up until she pulls the spellbook free. ]
I can take it off your hands if you don't want it...
[ Case in point: he casually tugs it out of her hands. ]
no subject
[ Oh, no. Oh, Evie's not a fan of Harry just taking the book like that, so she grabs it back and frowns at him, holding the book close. If it's there in her stuff, it's staying with her. ]
Don't.
[ That's it. That's all she says about it, the tone clipped and mildly authoritative. She's put her foot down on the matter and every part of the royal in her has shown up in the way she straightens and stands, looking Harry right in the eyes. She points one finger at him, barely an inch away from his chest and even if he towers over her, she's still standing up to him and probably not backing down for shit. ]
You keep your hands off of this. Do you understand? Don't touch it. If it goes missing, I'm looking for you first.
no subject
What? It's a book, and you didn't want it. I was helping.
no subject
[ And that's that. She tilts her head towards his bag, hoping to change the subject. ]
What did you get?
no subject
[ Fiiiine.
It's a good subject change anyway, because he pulls his bag down to start rifling through it. Clothes that aren't his, underwear, pajamas. A few other things that don't pose much interest at the moment, especially once he sees the glint at the bottom. He pulls it out with a flourish and a grin, relieved at the edges. ]
A-ha! Look what we have here.
no subject
Has anyone here said they've met you before?
[ GUESS WHAT HER DAY HAS CONSISTED OF, HARRY?! ]
no subject
No?
no subject
[ She's leaning very hard to very Bad Spell, here. Hesitant to even move from her spot, she's still looking from person to person as they all head to the train and then the pull to board just gets worse. She starts moving towards the train, checking to see if Harry's following. Later, she'll realize it might not be the best thing that the has the hook, but...maybe if this is a trap, they might need it.
That's not a thought Evie wants to entertain. At all. She watches all the people as she moves, noting the various colors and ages and looks of each person. Some look like this is old news, some look just as lost as Evie feels.
Neither of these details help her feel even remotely better about the situation, so she does what she does best. She straightens up, refuses to show any fear or anxiety or any of her stress, and she heads on. If they're going to find answers, it'll be on that train. She hopes. ]
no subject
Regardless, when she starts moving he trails after her like a lost puppy, mostly because he's got nothing better to do and no direction in mind. If she's got one that's something, at least, and he can work with it. ]
Train it is, I guess.
