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!
platform
But this is Romeo. They've been friends for so long now, together since the start of her journey here. And he's so obviously hurt. The same way everyone gets hurt here - by having to see the people important to them leave. And while Madoka saw Homura walk away too, she at least knows she'll see her again when she goes home.
.. would Romeo see Joss again, if he'd go back to heaven? Those two were so close. Romeo was so upset when Joss died too...
So all usual hesitation is gone. Rather than standing there, Madoka runs up to the boy and throws her arms around him, pulling Romeo into a tight hug.
"Romeo, I'm so sorry.."
Re: platform
"I don't want him to go..."
no subject
Of course he wouldn't want him to go. Who of them would want to see their friends walking off the platform like this? Even if there wouldn't be the problem of missing them, it's still kind of scary to not be sure where they're going.
So Madoka just makes sure to hold the boy, understanding the pain very well with how long both of them have been here. How often they've had to watch people leave.
"I-I'm sorry that I can't do anything to stop it. I know he would have wanted to stay here, with you.."
no subject
Because it would be terrible for him if miss Ayumu's temple had fallen down and he was all alone.
Then again would he even go there? He wasn't a shinki anymore...
It's all a lot to think about.
no subject
Even though it's painful for those left behind. Like poor, poor Romeo crying in her arms..
She squeezes him.
"I'm sure they're all there together now." She's not so sure, but can a white little lie really hurt in this case? When it's to comfort Romeo of all people, one of her first friends on the train still present? "And one day you can go back to see them too! I.. I know that it's hard to have to wait that long. But you're looking forward to it, right..?"
no subject
"I bet he will be glad to see them again." He nodded, not quite sure he believed it was all alright just like that, but wanting to hope.
"And maybe one day we can go see them, you would like all our friends in the heavens!"
That would be the best way, if all his friends could be somewhere all together.
no subject
It's.. a bit of a weird thought, going to the place Romeo is from, since it's heaven and all. Is that even a place you can visit? And if it is just real regular somehow existing heaven, then Madoka isn't too sure if she could ever go there. She's not too sure what exactly will happen when she returns to her own world, but she's pretty sure it will be something that'll bar her from ever going there..
But there's no way she's going to share even a single sad thought with Romeo who needs support right now, so she just nods.
"That sounds nice.. I bet all of your friends are really nice people, Romeo." Even though Joss may have been.. a slight exception in some ways.. "Since you're so sweet too."
no subject
"They are! They are all so friendly!" He grinned, "It's funny, mister Piccolo and miss Minako were there but they don't remember at all!"
