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!

For a moment. Then two. The girl slowly looks between Xie Lian and the food.. the food and Xie Lian.. before her gaze ends up resting on the latter.
"You're not going to eat it yourself, sir?" Not that she wants him to shove that monstrosity down his throat. It's just.. that's what she was assuming here!
no subject
The stomach of a ghost king is a powerful thing.
"Would you like to try it?"
no subject
"I-- Um, that's.. I'm.. I'm also not very hungry..!"
But even rejecting the idea like that still feels too impolite, and Madoka can feel her face colouring very slightly.
".. maybe I can try just a bite..?" Surely that won't kill her. Right? Hopefully?
no subject
"Feel free to try it if you would like to. But you certainly don't have to feel obligated."
no subject
So she nods - though with a tense edge to it - and grabs a spoon to try and tear a spoonful of.. whatever this is. Some sort of jelly blob that isn't jelly at all at the same time.
"T-Thanks for the food.." She's even polite enough to say that before Madoka inserts the spoonful into her mouth.
.. and instantly looks like she's dying. Her face pales, and she very much looks like she has to throw up. Thankfully they're close enough to a sink that Madoka can just run over there and quickly spit it out again, since swallowing that would not have been a good idea.
And even though she spit it out, she sounds very miserable as she's just.. hanging there over the sink now.. Madoka even has her hands pressed to her mouth, as if she's worried she'll still vomit.
What was that even! That certainly wasn't food..!
no subject
"Ah are you alright? Would you like me to make you something else? I'm sorry it wasn't to your liking."
Because he could certainly try again. He's sure someone will eat the food and it won't go to waste.
no subject
Because Madoka can try to cover all of this up with some polite lie that it wasn't all that bad, she looks like she's about to be sick and quickly has to stop talking and cover her mouth again.
This doesn't seem to be going too well, huh.
".. I think I should go lie down.."
no subject
Since it is his cooking that didn't agree with her then it is the least he could do to escort her to her room.
"Would you like some water to take with you?" Xie Lian goes over to collect some for her, also wondering if perhaps he should make her some tea. At least that he can do with relative ease and it actually is tea.
no subject
Because she's sure she needs to rinse her mouth with water forever to get this weird aftertaste out. And that's without even having swallowed anything.
"And my room is.. um, it's.. cabin E of the second sleeper carriage.."
no subject
"Let's go. We can take it slowly." Xie Lian reaches out to help her. He at least knows how to get to the sleeper cars.
