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.

"It's a pleasure to meet you, Khardeen-dono." There's a short bow and she tucks hair back behind her ear as she straightens. "I know, but we don't really have a choice but to get used to it. I've been here for a month and I suspect I'll be here for many more."
She honestly hopes not, but. She's also a realist.

no subject
But he did offer his hand, and so after a moment of 'shit what do I do?', she takes it awkwardly, hoping that was the right choice. Gods and Legends. How did she treat a Warlord?
Princess, meanwhile, just seems to be rather amused by Eva, if the short chuff-chitter is any clue. "Sure. We'd likely be able to find something to eat in the kitchens by now, I'd think. I'll lead the way? I mean, unless you already know where it is and want to-"
Yep. Her clefairy is very much laughing in his own way at her right now.
no subject
By the hand he had offered, he was to her left. Which by Protocol told people that she was the dominant power, or he was in her service, possibly both. In this case it was temporarily serving her.
I am enjoying this CR too much jsyk.
"I... 'dono' is equivalent. But if you want, I will call you Lord Khardeen." It feels awkward, but he's above her in rank, so she can adapt if thats what he rathers for address. "But, sure. It's this way."
She'll explain as she leads him through the train towards the kitchen. "Everyone on the train's been split into teams -each team has chores to do each month- and most of our clothes reflect that as it all seems to be same. It's probably some kind of uniform, though for what I don't know. We don't know who did this, or why, or even what our destination is."
I'm so glad!!! I am so nervous playing him, so I am extra glad! Thank you. Also having fun!
"Chores...?" he blinked. "I can cook and make drinks, aside from that, well, at least watching me try will be amusing." He might not be AS Aristo as the High Lord, but he didn't exactly lack for servants most of his life. As for the clothes, well, he could figure something out to dress more comfortably. Though really, his Jewels and his rings were the only things he wore that MATTERED.
no subject
It's a lame recovery and Eva knows it, but moving on! "If you do them, you get points and it seems like the team with the most points get a reward at the end of the month. Doing them isn't enforced though, and I had a teammate who didn't do them at all. My team's on laundry this month for example and I'll show you an ICP when we get to the kitchens."
Which they are starting to near, because Princess vaults from Eva's shoulder to run ahead. "Princess also tends to do what he wants, but if you find him sleeping somewhere, just leave him be." Eva sighs. "He's also the only thing I have from home with me and believe me, he's far stronger than he looks."
no subject
"ICP?" Oh Mother Night, well, when he was done with it, the dirt would be gone, but he wasn't sure what of the clothes would remain. Sadly he never had the inclination towards hearthcraft. He respected those who did. He chuckled at the warning. "Oh, I've know Kaelas and Ladvarian for years now. I can respect the power he could represent. Thing, though?" Not person? Interesting.
no subject
"Information and Communication Points. ICP. Basically a sort of help desk and a train wide comm. system rolled into one. It's useful enough and I'm glad we don't have actual phones." Never mind she misses her 'Gear. She's pretty sure everyone would have face to screen if they had phones. "The kitchen's one has recipes for the stores we have, and I'll point it out so you know what they look like."
That explanation over, she cocks her head then sighs. "I legally own Princess as pokemon are animals. Ones that understand humanity to one point or another, but they're not sapient. Though... I'm not the best to get into that talk with."
If only because it would open the door to a very complicated subject starting with the fact she owns what could be one of the first true sapient pokemon: a mewtwo. "Princess is smart and if he didn't like me, I wouldn't be alive today."
no subject
"And why are you not the best to get into that talk with?" Given Scelties, he had an idea.
no subject
Theories she'll be right about.
That said, she glances back at him before shrugging. "I'm not qualified. What I said is about how much I understand on a complicated subject."
no subject
"I could try communicating mentally with Princess if you want. I've a lot of experience talking with Kindred since I turned fifteen."
no subject
"Actually-" And she comes to halt as she spies one of the 'vending machines' scattered through the train. "Anything from one of these needs points, which display when you insert your ticket here."
She taps the slot for the ticket.
no subject
Sorry for the slow :(
"... I don't know. I don't think we have tried, actually."
I've been super slow recently too. No worries.
no subject
Then she sighs and runs a hand through her hair before pushing it back behind a shoulder. "All of us are missing pretty much everything we had on us when we were brought here. I only had Princess's monsterball on me, Stark-san his armour... It seems we only have one item on us."

For a second, there's a flash of pure jealously before Eva can blank her face into professional neutralism. Sure, she technically has two things what with Princess and his pokeball, but it's ultimately one thing.
"Are they- are they connected somehow?"
