A New Platform [Intro Post November]
On the Train
The morning after the Halloween party passengers are once again woken by a familiar voice.
"Good morning passengers, it is day one of the month of Imagination. 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. But through the fog comes sunshine, causing patches where the light shines down to warm the concrete. Looking up passengers will not be able to see the sun through the fog, or much of the sky at all.
As usual the first to leave the train notice nothing as they walk silently, rucksacks on their backs, towards the barriers. Bryn Pendragon, Bucky Barnes, Colden Rollins, Elena, Fai D Flourite, Jiang Yanli, Juliette d'Aubigniy, Misa, Peter Parker, Samata Mahto, Satou Kuroneko, The Doctor, Tohru Mutou, Zuko, 10 Vigilant Gaze Purges The Horizon. They all walk silently and do not look back as they disappear through the barriers and into the fog beyond.
But on the platform itself there are 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 the thick fog, penetrated by beams of light. As their eyes adjust they will see they are on a platform, behind them are a set of barriers and in front of them is a single track.
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 five 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.
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 and Honey is the newest ingredient, jars of honey stock the shelves and the ICP's in the kitchen have recipe ideas for the month.
A new carriage has been added, those that go to investigate will find a small but function-able spa, complete with a small hot tub and even a steam room. It is a relaxing room with sun lamps and relaxing music or nature sounds available through the ICP. There are a couple of massage tables, with a course for how to give massages for those eager to learn.
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 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!
kitchen
Madoka can't help but naturally often gravitate to the kitchen with how much she likes cooking, but it's even harder to resist the pull when the delicious scent of chocolate is in the air the moment she walks into the carriage. She quickly turns her head to see where it's coming from, only to spot-- ]
Oh, Ken-san! Wormmon! It smells so good here..
[ Although if this smell doesn't pass, everyone's dinner will end up smelling like chocolate regardless of what its actual ingredients will be. ]
no subject
We showed so many people the ice cream machine!
[ Wormmon says this with the same cadence a dog might use upon returning a thrown toy. He did a good job, right? Tell him he did a good job. Oh, he is sure he did a good job, but if you would only just say it-! ]
no subject
And Madoka is so very weak. How could she not go along with it, just so she may put a smile on the adorable creature's face? ]
You did? That's great! [ Though it's no surprise he talked about the machine so much, considering how much he'd liked it.. ] Were they happy to have some ice cream?
no subject
[ Ken fetches a few more cups for his kettle of water. ] The platform's chilly, so we were about to have cocoa. Would you like to join us?
no subject
[ There's no way she's going to say no to such an invite. The two of them have been pretty good company so far, and then to add hot cocoa on top of it.. It sounds nice.
But of course silently waiting for the drinks to be ready is a no-no! And Madoka knows exactly what she wants to ask in the meantime. ]
So.. um, how has everything been for the two of you so far? It hasn't been too difficult, being here rather than back home?
no subject
[ Even rooming with others has gone okay thus far. It's not that he likes being alone so much as it's just been the default for a good portion of his life...
Pause to think, or perhaps for effect. ] And, of course, there's the spa.
no subject
Oh, are you one of the people who voted for the spa?
[ Since he's putting so much emphasis on it! ]
I guess I should've known that one would win! So many people must want some relaxation..
no subject
[ He will have to be more on the ball next time.
Wormmon, do you want to stir the cocoa powder into the cup?
Yes! Yes, Wormmon does. Watch him, Madoka, he will get your cocoa ready very carefully! ]
no subject
[ She looks surprised! Wide eyes and all. She's so used to just voting right after the polls come up - but then again, she's much more used to them than most people here probably are.. ]
Well, it's true that they're not there forever.. And usually it makes whatever isn't chosen show up the next time again, so you really don't have to worry about what to vote for! I'm sure everything will get its time sometime. [ Says the girl who's been waiting for an art car for half a year now... Please, train...
But thankfully she's distracted from that thought by Wormmon just!! Being cute!! Being so careful with the cocoa like a good boy!
For that he'll get pets. Very softly though, since she knows he's working on that cocoa! But she can't help but gently pat the top of his head with how helpful he's being. Who's a good boy? ]
no subject
You liked the plants too, huh, Ken-chan?
Mm.
[ Wormmon spares a moment to be proud of himself for knowing his partner so well, but then he starts getting PETS and this is. This is great. He doesn't want to spill the cocoa, but maybe a little happy wiggling in place would be okay....
Oh, that actually helped stir it. ] Here you go.
[ The Wormmon special. It might still have a lump or two of cocoa powder on the bottom, as the stirrer does not have great fine motor skills, but it was made with a lot of care! ]
no subject
Do you like plants? Then you must like the greenhouse, Ken-san!
[ Honestly, Madoka isn't very sure.. what.. more plantlife the train was envisioning with that option on top of what's already there.. But she can at least understand the plant-liking sentiment. ]
no subject
[ A deep man, Ichijouji Ken. ]
It's soothing.
no subject
So the girl momentarily freezes, still holding the cup. And staring at Ken. ]
.. you kind of sounded like a poet there.
[ She sounds impressed! Madoka's love of plants doesn't go far beyond 'flowers are pretty', okay. She's not used to these deep things! ]
no subject
[ Ken blinks. This is how he talks. ]
Ken-chan always thinks really hard! [ Wormmon is okay with a cocoa liftoff interruption if it's for this, his favorite topic. ] Even when he isn't talking, the inside of his head is kind and wise.
[ Madoka understands the wonders of Ken-chan now, right??? ]
no subject
[ There you go, Wormmon, she will support your pro-Ken campaign! It's not like she's interacted a whole lot with Ken yet, not enough to know him super well.. But from what she can tell from their interactions so far, he's definitely nice. There's no doubt about that.
And he seems pretty smart as well, she guesses? Then again, Madoka thinks positively about others really easily..
She blows some more on the hot cocoa, finally taking in a sip now. ]
Then that means we're lucky to have you here aboard with us!
no subject
[ Wormmon is a proponent of this statement enough that agreeing with it overrides being anxious about Madoka's cocoa opinions, for the moment.
Ken, meanwhile, is feeling on-the-spot, yet grateful. His modesty wants to defer, but he also wants to accept her feelings. ]
I'll do my best. You yourself are very kind, Madoka-chan.
no subject
[ Maybe it should be easier for Madoka by now. It's not like it's the first time she hears that. Yet she's still struggling with the very same sentiment as Ken is - not wanting to be rude by not appreciating his compliment, but feeling too modest to just accept it so easily either. ]
Ah, I just.. I just do what I can to help.
[ Which is part of the definition of being kind, but ssshh. This feels easier to say out loud and actually believe.
Her cheeks are pink. ]
Um.. by the way, the hot cocoa is pretty nice.. [ Thank you, drink, for giving her an excuse to mention something that's less flustering. ]
no subject
[ Wormmon perks up. He did a good job?? Oh, but that might not be the only reason... ]
Everything does taste better together, huh!
[ First the ice cream, and now this. All of the food on the train must be tasty because everyone keeps sharing it with him. So now he's gotten to do that too! ]
no subject
R-Right! [ She looks surprised for a moment, caught off guard by the sudden wave of cuteness radiating from the Digimon, but once Madoka gets over it she just smiles at him. ]
You have the right idea, I definitely think so too. Eating by yourself is kind of lonely, isn't it? But when you're together, it's more fun.. and more yummy as well!
[ To a point where she honestly doesn't mind the still slightly bigger clumps of cocoa still in there. ]
no subject
[ Madoka is speaking Wormmon's language here, full-throttle. Ken smiles, too.
And then gets stared at by Wormmon. ] Ken-chan, you drink some too!!!
Ah....
All three of us should have cocoa! It'll be BETTER that way!
[ Wormmon turns to Madoka for backup. ] Right?!?!
no subject
[ That catches her off guard a bit. Maybe she should be used to the critter's enthusiasm by now, but apparently she isn't quite there yet, considering the way her eyes slightly widen. ]
Well, I'd be glad if Ken-san would drink with us.. [ She'll concede that much. Saying anything else would be lying, after all, and Madoka isn't a bad girl who lies! ]
But if he doesn't want to, that's fine too! You know it's important to respect other people's wishes, right, Wormmon?
no subject
[ Ken is sentimental enough that he's touched by this, instead of second-guessing why it's coming up in reference to drinking instant cocoa. ]
I don't mind. It's chilly outside, after all.
no subject
But their bond is still very sweet. Wormmon managing to reign in his enthusiasm for his partner's sake.. It's so cute. ]
Are you sure? In that case, let's make sure to drink together!
[ She smiles. ]
Do you want to make a mug for Ken-san too, Wormmon? [ He seems so excited, she's pretty sure he will. ]
no subject
Of course.
Gyhuuu.
[ Wormmon may have just gotten so happy he gave himself the hiccups.
Oops. ]
no subject
Because right now she isn't entirely sure what that sound was. And with the way Madoka is, of course she's immediately going to fuss about a cute critter in the slightest bit of trouble. ]
O-Oh no! What was that? Are you okay?
