A New Platform [Intro Post December]

On the Train

It's only been a couple of days since the Voidtrecker Express took to the void once more, and many of the passengers are still recovering and recuperating after a very hectic end to their latest mission. Nevertheless, they are awoken by a familiar message.

"Good morning passengers, it is day sixteen of the month of Imagination. Points have been updated on the system."

They have indeed, and everyone can spend the morning shopping. Those who have been on the train for 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 the windows fill with the fog that means they are at a platform. It is warm outside with a pleasant breeze that flows down the platform, rustling the light spread of leaves that litter the floor.

As usual the first to leave the train notice nothing, walking silently, rucksacks on their backs, towards the barriers. Akemi Homura, Alfred the Poisoner, Donatello Versus, Chie Satonaka, Joscelin Fitzthomas, Ronan Lynch, Rose Tyler, Tangle the Lemur, Trowa Barton, Wester Mazaki and Whisper the Wolf all pass through the platform, not looking back before 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 swirling leaves at their feet, moving in flurries and rattling against each other softly. As their eyes adjust, they will see they are on a platform, cement and packed earth forming a very practical, plain-looking shelter. Behind them is a set of barriers, and in front of them is a single track extending both ways into thick fog.

They are standing, in clothes that are not their own and a style 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 eight 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's 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 lead to something terrible. 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 (see
'Publications'). The store rooms have been restocked with more jars of honey, the ingredient of the month of Imagination, as well as sundries.

A new carriage has been added right next to the luggage carriage. It is a second medical carriage, or triage carriage. Downstairs is more open with beds and chairs, upstairs are two surgical bays for those that need immediate attention.

For those intrigued by the claim of a parcel for every passenger they will find several large boxes filled with small blue bags. Inside each bag is ten dark blue coins imprinted on each side with a silver snowflake. Each bag has a small label with a passengers name. On the other side of the label it reads: Keep these safe for now.

Of course for any passengers that have bought items, these are also scattered around the luggage carriage as well.

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 taking advantage of the pleasant weather and the doors slide shut. Veteran passengers know what will happen next, but they may wish to brief their new companions.

The train sets off, the fog obscuring the view again 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!

Rapunzel | OTA

Platform
Rapunzel seemed to try and make it a habit of going to the platform not in the hopes of ever seeing someone from home because honestly... there were only two people she actually knew somewhat, but more in an attempt to try and make new friends if she can.

So she wondered around, seeing how many new faces were around. if she spots one she starts making her way over, her fingers brushing through her brown hair.

"Welcome~ It's nice to meet you, I'm Rapunzel."

On the Train
When she had done her introductions for the time, Rapunzel along with Pascal was exploring the train, eyes more focused on the walls as if she was pondering something. Arms crossed over her chest while Pascal sat there studying too, eyes narrowed.

Soon she uncrossed her arms and gave what seemed to be a thumbs up pose, moving it from up to the side as soon she closed one eye. People might want to ask what is it she is up to.

Indeed they do!

"Uh... whatcha' doin, Punny?" Testing out a new nickname is Della, who is standing there - minus one metal leg and plus 2 crutches made out of mops.
adropofsunlight: (293 (B))

[personal profile] adropofsunlight 2020-12-03 11:31 am (UTC)(link)
"I'm studying the wall, getting the feel of the area because if you do it from a distance this shows a basic size." she said as she finally lowered her arm for the time being before looking over and finally noticing that one seemed to be minus a leg.

"What happened toy or leg?"
sos_pilot: by <user name=noimpulsecontrol> (i'll be holding you so near)

[personal profile] sos_pilot 2020-12-03 05:43 pm (UTC)(link)
"Needed a quick repair." Della says casually. "But why are you studying the wall in the first place? ... Oooh, are you doing a mural?"
adropofsunlight: (255)

[personal profile] adropofsunlight 2020-12-05 07:50 pm (UTC)(link)
"I was thinking about it, but I don't think the area is large enough for what I want." She soon nodded slightly, she was pretty certain at this moment in time as well.

"Yeah, just a bit too small for my liking, but... As for you, I hope that the quick repair is quick."

He couldn't help but stop on his way by when he saw Rapunzel and he just watched her a moment.

"What are you up to?"

"I'm planning on painting, so just figuring a few things out that's all, or even if it's a good spot in the first place." For all she knew it might not be that great, so she figured she would figure it out before she actually did anything,

He turned and considered the wall she was looking at. He was not an expert in art or painting as he may have intimated before.

"I think it's probably a fine spot?" If she wanted his unrefined opnion. "I mean, it's just blank wall."
adropofsunlight: (274 (B))

[personal profile] adropofsunlight 2020-12-05 08:21 pm (UTC)(link)
"I mean, yes it is, but if I want to paint a certain thing the area for make needs to be just right. This might be too small for what I want to do, but I could also change my mind later." She had a lot of ideas of what she wanted to paint after all and didn't need to really do them in any order.

"Hey, nice to meet you!" Demyx answered with a bright enough smile. Were all the new people usually so cheery? He had no idea.
adropofsunlight: (150)

[personal profile] adropofsunlight 2020-12-03 11:36 am (UTC)(link)
"Nice to meet you too. I... don't think you mentioned your name?" She asked knowing she needed to call him by something at least.
melodiouspacifist: (Default)

[personal profile] melodiouspacifist 2020-12-04 12:18 am (UTC)(link)
"Nah, I didn't. It's Demyx." He said easily, a bit of a slouch in his posture like he was completey relaxed with being whisked away to some strange place.

[personal profile] adropofsunlight 2020-12-05 08:50 pm (UTC)(link)
"Nice to meet you then Demyx. I hope we will be able to get along." She felt like she could always use more friends. At the moment the only ones she had she could count on one hand at best.

"So... tell me about yourself."

Gen caught sight of her, scouting out the train cars ... and had to give her a smile, curious.

"Hello there, my friend. It's been some time. What is it that you're up to?"

Re: On the Train

[personal profile] adropofsunlight 2020-12-03 11:38 am (UTC)(link)
"Ah, hello there. I'm just seeing areas of the car and seeing if the spot is good to paint on. Honestly, I'm still not sure exactly, but I'm starting to think it's not." She folded her arms yet again as she looked at the wall. Now she was looking at it again she was sure it wouldn't be a good spot.
fun_thementalist: (smug knowing look)

[personal profile] fun_thementalist 2020-12-03 08:01 pm (UTC)(link)
"Hmmm," Gen said, and went to stand next to her, trying to see the same wall and imagine art there. "Well, what were you hoping to paint? I imagine that would determine the kind of spot you'd want to find."
adropofsunlight: (33)

[personal profile] adropofsunlight 2020-12-05 09:00 pm (UTC)(link)
"I don't know, I mean I want to paint everyone who is on the train and those who I remember from before to...but that would require a lot of space." So she had some idea at least but probably needed a big enough space.

...

Don't ask him what possesses him to do it - or do, whatever - but Tidus, in wondering what it is Rapunzel is attempting, decides to copy her. A few quiet looks her way, and then he holds a thumb. Squints. What does he see??

...

He sees his thumb.

"Are we finding the best spot for a photoshoot?" Still, he's trying!
adropofsunlight: (65)

[personal profile] adropofsunlight 2020-12-03 11:42 am (UTC)(link)
"Sort of. It's more about finding the best spot to paint. I was thinking of something natural of sorts. Not too bright." She always had some ideas, but never really went with them because she was never sure of how other people would like it.
blitzcheer: (something blah ugh words)

[personal profile] blitzcheer 2020-12-03 01:01 pm (UTC)(link)
"Ohhh." Oh right, painting! He knew that. Brings his thumb in and puts his hand under his chin instead, head tilting. "What're you thinking for in here?" what's natural... "The sea?"
adropofsunlight: (77)

[personal profile] adropofsunlight 2020-12-05 09:01 pm (UTC)(link)
"Possibly, yes. With a sunset or something." Because it sounded like it could be a nice thing for people to look at. Peaceful and calming.

Inigo does spot Rapunzel at first, already sitting in the carriage she's entering and looking around in, but the girl seems so focused that he doesn't greet her quite yet - instead waiting, seeing if maybe he'll get a chance to.

But then he sees what Rapunzel is doing. The staring at the walls isn't too odd.. Maybe she's thinking about a mural? She's done one of those before, right? But what's up with the thumb?

Waiting another beat, then two, Inigo finally speaks up.

"Thinking about something, Rapunzel?"

She nearly jumped slightly. Honestly in all her thoughts about various things she hadn't even thought about someone else being around. So to say she had been surprised was a slight understatement.

"Ah, hey... I didn't realise you were there.... I'm sorry about that. Got a little too focused on some ideas. So yes, I was thinking about something, mostly painting related"
flatteries: (in your pose as)

[personal profile] flatteries 2020-12-04 10:31 pm (UTC)(link)
"It's okay." Inigo shakes his head with a smile. If anything, he feels a little guilty for startling her! But he figures it's no big deal, so he shrugs it off, getting up and walking closer towards her.

"What kind of idea were you having?"

He glances between her and the wall.

"Some mural?"
adropofsunlight: (127)

[personal profile] adropofsunlight 2020-12-05 09:05 pm (UTC)(link)
"Sort of. At least a mural is one ideas. Things that are natural and nice to look at like trees or an ocean is another thought. I just have a lot of ideas." She couldn't help but give a small laugh.
