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.

"Yup." he answers, a slight shiver coming over him, "And you'll board it, if you know what's good for you." he offers, not in any sort of threat of course, but he's pretty certain that bad things happen to those who don't.
"Matching wasn't intentional." he assures him.
no subject
"Oooh mysterious!"
Aaaaand, got it! Koumyou yanked his hand out of the neck of his extra layers, bringing with it the sutra. Just gonna drape it right back onto his shoulders, right over the top of the ridiculous blue clothing, thanks.
no subject
"You'll probably want to talk to one of the real eager passengers on your way in, they love explaining this blessed train so much that they've made pamphlets." The way he hisses the word blessed is like it's a curse, and Crowley rolls his eyes so hard that it's apparent he's doing so behind his dark glasses.
no subject
He's got some bad news for you, Crowley.
"Though... I guess that's sarcasm, huh? Well, anyway, I bet it's warmer on that thing! Let's go!"
And the priest picked his bag up and started marching toward the train. Coming with?
no subject
Crowley wouldn't normally follow a new passenger like a lost puppy, nor volunteer to show them around, but it is terribly cold, and the more he thinks about it, he'd much rather be aboard the train, so it's easy for him to follow along as instructed.
"Certainly. Don't forget your ticket." he notes, trudging along behind.
no subject
He hadn't even been on the train yet and could guess that. Surely this was nothing but a staging area while reincarnation took its sweet time to snatch him up? It wasn't like there were any first-hand accounts of the process!
"Maaah... oh, this thing?" And he had to go fishing under his new layers, up under the bottom of them, before he pulled the ticket out of the first hoodie's pocket to present to whatever would let him on the train.
no subject
"Really long story. Probably take centuries to tell right." he mutters, boarding the train no problem. He looks back at the man with a furrowed brow, waving him forward.
"No, no, you need it to get in your room. This way."
Crowley wasn't the type to show a new person around, or really the type to help anyone with anything at all. He never even did his chores unless it meant he got something out of the deal, but it wasn't like he had a very large impact on the train, anyway. He'd need to pass through the passenger cars to get anywhere worth going, so helping a stranger was convenient, this time.
no subject
no subject
"Yeah, sure," he mutters, "Make sure you're presentable for dinner."
no subject
But he's nothing if not playful.
"Ohhh? What are we having? I hope I get dessert this time! I promise to eat my vegetables, and I'm definitely not crossing my fingers in my pockets!"
no subject
"Afraid it's just slop again," he notes, heading in the direction of the passenger cars, "Not really room to be picky on this train."
Depending on the room number Koumyou had been assigned, it could be a long walk before they reach his door. Crowley holds the door open behind him into the next car, waiting.
"What room are you in?"
no subject
"Ah... 1-C, it would seem."
