well, looks like I'm late to the party. anyone care to fill me in on what I missed? because "regular train cars will now resume" certainly implies the existence of non-regular train cars.

better yet, if you could just tell me how to get off on the next stop without bothering with these numbers, that would be wonderful. believe me, the last train I caught was eventful enough to last me a lifetime.

I think I'm late to the party, too. So I can't really help with your questions! This really is a weird train, though...

[ At least Sora isn't alone here. There's a part of him that was expecting that. Though maybe it would have been better to be alone, if everyone came to be here for the same reasons as him. It means they're all somehow outside of existence. That they violated a "nature taboo," like Chirithy said. ]

What was the last train you were on like?

[horatagara]

[ She's a big ol' snoop so she immediately goes to read "sky"'s profile. Yuck, a child. ]

much different than this one. pretty sure they didn't want me aboard, for one. got my arse kicked, for another.

you sure you're old enough to be here, kid?

[lighthearted]

You mean you were a stowaway? That's pretty cool.

[ Less cool is treating him like a kid!! ]

Sure I'm sure! Why wouldn't I be? I've been to plenty of places like this before.

[horatagara]

something like that, yeah.

[ Slight concern that he seems to think stowing away is cool, but okay. She's not his mother. ]

oh yeah? what kinds of places?

[lighthearted]

Oh man! More than I can name. Under the sea, in the jungle, on a spaceship, inside a computer...

[ And he may never see any of those places again. Or get to reconnect with any of the friends he made while visiting them. He's trying to focus more on what's in front of him than dwelling on that, though. ]

[horatagara]

hold up a minute.

on a spaceship?

[lighthearted]

Okay, that one wasn't actually me. But a friend of mine told me about it!

[horatagara]

and is this a normal occurrence where you come from?

because where I come from, you have to put in decades of training for something like that, and who has the time?

[lighthearted]

Traveling around to other worlds is supposed to involve training, yeah! Once you're a full-fledged Keyblade Wielder then you can go.

My case was kinda different, though. What kind of training do you mean?

@TaSTYB1TCh3000, untraceable??

[shiftybladesofcray]

k 4 the record there's no such thing as "regular" here 🤪🤪🤪🤪

just stfu and enjoy the ride

[horatagara]

[ Can't snoop on this one, how annoying. ]

charming. looks like I found my first troll.

and how do you suggest I enjoy it, Tasty Bitch 3000?

[shiftybladesofcray]

[ha ha that's me]

lmfao wow just trying 2 help

what's not to enjoy

did u not make it to the beach car yet ????????????? the guys here are 👌 solid 8 9 10s everywhere

👀👅!!!!!!!

[horatagara]

[ girl calm down ]

I suppose that's one way to go about it, I'll give you that.

but as tempting as that is, I do have some unfinished business from before. trying to do a bit less of that lately

[shiftybladesofcray]

oh? 🤔 Like what?

[horatagara]

I have a tusk to offload, darling. can't have my partners cutting me out right at the very end, you know

do you have a name, or would you prefer to stick with Tasty Bitch?

[shiftybladesofcray]

a tusk??? so ur just walking around the train carrying a hunk of ivory???

[Wow. You do you.]

oh i'm jill

hi

[horatagara]

I'm not carrying it. that's the problem

[ Not that she seriously expects Nadine and Sam to cut her out—or that there's much to cut her out of. But it's the principle. ]

hello there, Jill. I'm Chloe. any particular reason why you don't have a user profile?

@ahjin

[reanimate]

[ Someone here has to be the helpful one. ]

sorry but there are no stops and there's no getting off

[ Nevermind, he's not all that helpful either. ]

[horatagara]

you can't be serious.

this is a train, not the hotel california

[reanimate]

it's not your average train
each train car will have an objective you have to meet in order to progress to the next car

count yourself lucky
last month's car was disease-ridden

[horatagara]

how delightfully uncomplicated of them.

and the numbers tie into this how?

I'm given to understand that we have to get ours down to zero, if this message from the clownductor is to be believed.

[reanimate]

well some of the cars require us to behave nicely or form connections with others
then there are cars that tell us to come to the aid of others

the train's attempt at making us better people i guess

[horatagara]

[ Offscreen, she swears with feeling. ]

yes, well

I didn't really sign up to become a better person.

[reanimate]

tell me about it

i thought i was fine

[horatagara]

pretty sure that's what they all say, love.

why, is your number high?
