A New Platform [Intro Post October]
On the Train
"Good morning passengers, it is day sixteen of the month of Horsehoe. Points have been updated on the system and new stock is available."
They have indeed and everyone can spend the morning shopping. Those who have been on the train a while will be expecting the second announcement that comes a few hours later.
"Shortly arriving into a designated void platform. Exit from void in ten, nine, eight, seven, six, five, four, three, two, one." A lurch and a jolt and they are soon surrounded by the fog that means they are at a platform. The first thing they may notice is that this platform is inside a basic shelter, making it warmer than the last couple at least.
As usual the first to leave the train notice nothing as they walk silently, rucksacks on their backs, towards the barriers. Adora, Alex Hashimoto, Catra, Cloud Strife, Elizabeth Midford, Feanor, Gerome, Gladiolus Amicitia, Glimmer, Ifrit, Isabella D’Oro, Maru, Nari Reno, Noctis Lucis Caelum, Prompto Argentum, Scorpia, Siobahn Chereshei, SXT-2, Tamamo-no-Mae, Tony Stark, Uta, Zidane Tribal
But on the platform itself there are many new faces. Wearing hoodies in all four colours in various states of confusion.
For New Passengers
At first all they can see is steam. Billowing around them as they come to their senses. The second thing they will notice is it is gloomy, even without the steam and fog. They are in a wooden building, open to the tracks on one side. It in a creaky shelter, cobwebs hang from the rafters and there is a peculiar whistle as wind finds its way through the cracks.
They are standing, in clothes that are not their own, styles they might not even recognise. They are carrying a rucksack on their 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 large and it holds nineteen figures all facing the tracks, all dressed in cargo trousers and hoodies. Both left and right the tracks disappear into the mist. Then there is a roaring sound and out of the fog arrives a train. Jet black with gold writing on the side. The Voidtrecker Express. There is a hiss as the doors slide open and out into the gloom step a selection of people. Some are human, some are less so. Most are wearing the same hoodie in one of the four colours, red, orange, blue and purple though some are sporting different clothes in a variety of styles.
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. If that is not enough, there are plenty of people on the platform now, to encourage them onto the train.
Indeed whereas usually there is plenty time for people to be met and brought slowly onto the train, the whistles blow a lot quicker this time, as if hurrying the passengers along.
Each ICP shows the same message and next to the screens there are stacks of leaflets written by those on the train, with further information. The store rooms have been restocked, with… teddy bear shaped luncheon meat being the main ingredient to be found. There are plenty of other staples.
A new carriage has been added, those that go to investigate will find a room full of lockers, designated as the Armoury. Even for passengers without weapons it is somewhere to secure possessions. There are instructions on how to use the lockers and enough for everyone to claim one.
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 over the noise of the hail stones to encourage any stragglers braving the snow and the doors slide shut. Veteran passengers know what will happen next, they may wish to brief their new companions.
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. Entry into Voidspace in ten, nine, eight, seven, six, five, four, three, two, one."
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 the Void!

...you charged me!
[She closes her eyes and let out a grunt. She wasn't going to argue when she was trying to apologize.]
I have no reason to hurt him. I was just taken off guard and wasn't sure what was coming after me.
...why WERE you coming after me?
no subject
[ Wormmon looks confused. ]
I was...
[ ....panicking.... ]
searching for Ken-chan, and you were there instead.
Everyone in the wrong place at the wrong time. [ Now that he's convinced it was an accident and that Eight is sincerely sorry, Ken gives her a smile, too. ] Are you okay?
no subject
[She is taken aback by the question. She was ready to defend herself and was not expecting any concern.]
Y-Yes... I think so... [Her eyes go from Ken to Wrommon and back to Ken.]
[What a strange duo.]
no subject
Could this be the first time you've changed worlds?
[ Wormmon will keep quiet to learn the answer to this, too. If it is - if it is -
Then HE is the EXPERIENCED TRAVELER! This is exciting! ]
no subject
no subject
We're probably expected to board the train. [ What with arriving on a platform, in clothes that (mostly) match the clothes of all the people who had come off to say hello, or leave. ] Let's investigate.
You can come with us!
[ EXPERIENCED! TRAVELER! ]
Ken-chan and I do this aaaallll the time, after all! So it doesn't make us scared!
[ Ha ha! Bet you're feeling fortunate NOW!
....Look, he just got kicked in the face, let him have this. ]
no subject
[Despite Ken taking point, the Octoling is on high alert. Should anything were to come after them again, she was going to give whatever it was a solid taste of boot. Even harder this time. Even if they didn't necessarily deserve it.]
saying they're in coach b
A train. Ken didn't realize he had expectations of anything more sinister until he's left standing in a perfectly ordinary train carriage, some sort of...coach, he's supposing? There's rows of seats, though - is that a computer?
He heads towards it, intrigued by the sight of something out of place. A quick pocket check reveals what he's expecting to find isn't there, so: ] Wormmon.
Right.
[ Wormmon dives back into the rucksack. He was in here when they arrived, and that means, that if it's not in his pockets, what Ken-chan's after should be.....
Should be....
If it is possible for a bag to begin quivering with nerves, this one just did. ]
Sounds good!
[But they were and so Eight is on edge.]
[She heard Ken give the order, and turns to look and see what is happening. Instead of a Octosniper there was nothing... nothing except the rustle of a giant worm digging for something in the rucksack.]
Is something the matter...? [She asked Ken, not terribly attentive to Wormmon's current plight.]
no subject
Ken-chan, it's not here.
[ Just a worm head pokes up out of the bag. Boing! ] Your Digivice isn't here!
[ NOW Ken looks disturbed. ]
What?!
no subject
[She leaned in, looking between the two.] What does it look like? I can retrace our steps and see if it was dropped somewhere.
no subject
--No, he can't get distracted, and he appreciates the help too much to turn it down. So he nods. ] Do you know what a "smartphone" is?
no subject
Is it anything like this Octophone?
no subject
--He can think about that once he's answered the question. ]
...Close. It'll a thin black box, this size. In a protective case.
[ Ken demonstrates with his hands. ] If we have it, we can test something important with this computer.
[ Not that he's particularly...expecting it to work. But they can at least try.
Ken has gotten quite good at trying. ]
no subject
[Not getting any, she glides her way down where they came, grumbling to herself that if she had a weapon and her ink tank she'd be able to move so much faster than her running speed. Alas.]
[...]
[As they didn't go far, it's not long until she's turning the corner back onto the train, walking forward to where Ken and Wormmon are. Sadly, there was no DigiVice to be found, but she did find a rather nice bucket. That's a weapon down, at least.]
no subject
No good, hm....
[ Wormmon is crawling over to peer in the bucket. She didn't put the Digivice in here for some reason, did she?
And why does this bucket look familiar? ]
no subject
[There is nothing in the bucket except some burn marks and the stench of regret.]
Would it be possible to use my phone?
[It was the only thing she could think to offer.]
no subject
Thank you. I'm afraid ours was - unique.
[ Wormmon looks up from the Mysterious Bucket. ] Don't worry. Even if we can't open digital gates and I can't evolve, I'll protect you no matter what.
no subject
[Are these terms that she should be aware of...?]
no subject
[ Sorry. The more jargon a world uses, the more toys it can sell.
...wait, what. ]
In any case, we'll have to make do.
Mm!
[ It's...confusing, though. Why would he have his partner but not the symbol of their partnership? ]
no subject
So the digivice would allow you to hack the terminal--? What would you hope to find?
[She wasn't sure of the specifics, but considering his interest and the use of the word "digi-" she was pretty sure she was on the right track.]
[Now the question is, would this boy answer honestly...]
no subject
[ He's never thought about what the Digivice does as "hacking" before. It makes a certain amount of sense... ]
The Digivice allows me to open a gate to Wormmon's world from any monitor. If we had the smartphone version, we might even be able to travel without using the terminal....
If reaching the Digital World from this one is possible.
no subject
The digital world, what is that?
no subject
[ Let Wormmon take point on this one, Ken-chan! He is helpful! Behold! ]
It's full of Digimon like me. Humans like Ken-chan get Digivices when they're needed to help fight bad guys!
no subject
I'm sure that means something to you, but I don't understand.
