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.

Welcome to voidspace.

Neither can Gwen, to be honest. She wasn't usually a hugger, but it's been a month since she's seen Miles. One month since they all faced Kingpin and Olivia and all those creeps from Miles world. And one month since her last glitch.

But the most important part of all that was Miles was here. As an unwitting passenger on the train through hell (They're all on a train to hell Change her mind).

"Miles, oh my God. I never thought you'd show up here!"

She's actually ecstatic. Like, ridiculously so.

Miles hadn't really been sure that he'd ever see her again when she went back home. She had to go home. There isn't really a choice that they had there but he'd missed her.

"I never thought I would either?"

Mostly because he didn't know...here... existed.

“So, how’d it go with Kingpin? You stopped him and the multiverse is safe?” She’s asking not because she doubts him. After that fight with Olivia and how that had gone, she has no doubts he would make a great Spider-Man. But she wants details. She wasn’t there for it. She’d already fallen through her rift to go home. And ended up on the Hell Train.

But since she isn’t glitching out and actively dying from it, she’s assuming Miles was the hero.

LOOK JUST IMAGINEEE the details in here for me

Miles smiles at the question. He really hadn't been sure that he was going to be able to do it. Sure, he had found the faith and everything in himself but even his Spider-man had died.

"Everything is safe," he guesses until something happens again. He goes on to very animatedly explain everything that had happened, right down to the awkward encounter with his dad and everything.

NO YOU MUST TELL ME EVERYTHING i kid don't do it it's a lot

She listens, giving this story her full attention and grinning proudly when he says he won. And the awkward moment with his dad gets a small laugh, even if there's a faint twitch of jealousy in her because of it. Her dad still thinks she killed her world's Peter Parker. Not she as in Gwen, she as in Spider-Woman. It made things so very complicated.

"I'm proud of you, Miles." She also feels like a jerk for having her doubts, but every one of them was a new Spider at one point.

Turning to look around for a moment, she spots someone in the crowd headed their way and her grin turns into a small smirk. The next few minutes were absolutely going to be interesting.

"There's someone on the train I think you should meet."

Peter's paying more attention to where Tony's eyes are than anything else but he seems busy talking to other people so he might actually be safe for now. And at last, he's able to find Gwen after she shot off like a rocket from their cabin.

He moves to her and the other person she's talking too, that looks like they'll be on team Purple with them. He catches the tail end of the conversation due to his focus being elsewhere and offers a small wave, feeling like a complete mess with his hair uncombed and still in his pajamas.

"Uh, hey! I'm Peter. Guess you're gonna be on the same team as Gwen and me, huh?"

Miles feels incredibly good to hear Gwen tell him that she's proud. What Gwen thought of him meant a lot more to him than it should, maybe, just a little bit. It's just the way it was. "Thanks, I mean, I couldn't have done it all alone..."

It'd taken all of them to make everything fall in to place.

He takes in the figure that joined them and looks like he literally just rolled out of bed.

Peter?

He raises an eyebrow and glances at Gwen. "Hi, I'm Miles. I guess I am?" This whole thing is still weird.
