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.

Depends. Sometimes it happens, sometimes, nope. I arrived with someone I knew, on the same platform stop... but she was two years ahead of me. And then other people... sometimes it's a few months or less.
[ He puts his hands on one of the toasters. ]
I don't think there's any sense to the way the train works, to be honest. Or why there's a time difference.
[ And saying that -- the toaster disappears in a poof of magical gold sparkles. ]
That happening with you and the person you know?
[ Pretty obvious if it's on Ken's mind, but! ]
no subject
Ken nods, warming a hand against one of his cups of cocoa. ] A senior of mine. I've looked up to him - [ In his own, small, distant way, running in the same circles but never quite overlapping ] and now he's younger than me.
[ Takato is younger than him, too. Is one supposed to feel old at nineteen?
...Wormmon pauses with the cup halfway to his mouth. Toaster. Where. What. HOW.
WHERE DID. THE TOASTER. GO??? ]
no subject
Wow! Were you two close? Or was this a 'admire from afar' kind of relationship?
[ He's walking over to them now, though. ... ... ... or some way, but stopping by one of the other kettles sitting out, not currently in use.
What a nice kettle.
This certainly won't be relevant in Tidus's next tag. ]
no subject
and Ken continues to hold a conversation, so busy turning his predicament over he is entirely missing there are hypothetical kitchen appliance magic shenanigans occurring Right There. ]
More the latter. He's a friend's older brother.
[ But that's not all, is it? Taichi has the experience. Taichi has the presence of mind.
How is Ken supposed to navigate having surpassed an older brother in age and height when that older brother is still around? ]
Our leader.
no subject
Your leader? You a part of a gang?
[ Poof. It disappears as Tidus speaks! The kettle cord with it.
and he's gonna poof the hot plate too. ]
no subject
[ Wait.
Ken looks over at the counter. And trails off into thought.
Wasn't that formerly quite a lot more...occupied? ]
no subject
...
...
Oh. He looks where Ken seems to be looking, then cheerily looks back at him- ]
Just borrowing a few! [ He waves a hand dismissively. ] You're what? Is it something to do with your pal there?
[ A nod to Wormmon! ]
no subject
[ "Borrowing a few"....?
Wormmon, glad that the kitchen stuff is not gone FOREVER, inserts himself with some belated support. Aren't gangs people who do bad things? In that case - ]
Ken-chan would never join a gang!
[ When he did bad things he did them partially because he thought he wanted to be ALL BY HIMSELF! ]
no subject
[ Wow, so descriptive. But it's not like he asked...!
Even so, he waves out his hands pre-emptively. ]
But you know, fighting can be a good thing. Depends why you're doing it!
no subject
[ Ken is, however, rather more concerned. ]
Would you happen to know what their Digimon looked like?
[ A few people have picked fights with him, too. He's turned them down...
Did someone push Takato-kun? Or Taichi-senpai, already? ]
no subject
[ That's a good enough description, right? ]
no subject
[ A happy chirp from Wormmon. Guilmon is his
mutual shenanigan enablerfriend!Ken, meanwhile, supplies the missing piece. ]
Matsuda Takato-kun, then.
[ He hadn't known, so he's a little worried for the boy. Though he supposes Takato doesn't owe him an explanation... ]
Three of us in short order seems suspicious.
no subject
We had a bunch of people last train stop who sounded like they were from the same place. And... [ He taps a finger. ] It happened with another group of people. Even two of the same person appeared! Now, he's the only guy left. The double who came last.
[ Or whatever way you want to frame doubles.......... ]
no subject
[ This is news to Ken. He's not sure how to feel about it. There's any number of ways that would be.....interesting....if it happened to him. ]
I don't want another Wormmon!
[ Wormmon is honest with his feelings, fretting to Tidus as if Tidus gets to make these calls. Then, after thinking about it: ]
Another Ken-chan would be okay, though.
no subject
Hm - you know, I don't want another Tidus either. But if there's no second of you, doesn't that mean the other Ken-chan didn't have a Wormmon? That's lonely!
no subject
[ Said with an air of utter Zen. PoKenmon: gotta catch 'em all. ]
no subject
[ What's your big brain idea for that, Wormmon?? ]
no subject
[ Wormmon puts a claw to his mandibles, thinking. Before that....What did that mean? Oh, in the other Ken-chan's world....
......Wormmon is still making his thinky face. But his eyes are silently beginning to brim with wibbly tears.
HE MUST FIND THIS POOR KEN-CHAN RIGHT AWAY. ]
no subject
Know what this means? Time to turn to the actual present Ken and say- ]
Sorry, looks like you've got a trip after this one to find all the Wormmon-less Kens in other worlds so your pal can befriend them! Or Wormmon won't be able to sleep at night!
[ he's helping ]
no subject
[ Wormmon, are you okay? It was...it was a hypothetical, Wormmon.....
Wormmon sniffles a BIG WORM SNIFF. ] Ken-chan.....you're so lonely......
[ Crawling over, he clings to his partner's front. ] Don't be scared. I'm here, now.
[ void to wormmon, do you copy, over ]
