Who: newbies + you
When: Day 22, evening
Where: around

[This evening, out of nowhere, Hazel's carriage disappears. There's a shower of sparkles, a bright light, and after that... it's gone. Anyone who was in its hallway is now in the Garden entrance. The Garden car itself is now hooked to Clover's carriage, as if it had aways been and Hazel was never real. Clover itself is currently bare as well -- the lock screen is dull, completely turned off, and there are no lights inside. No one is there, now, but at least the space remains.

In some carriages, that loss of vibrancy is countered by the appearance of some new heroes. In general, the gloomy mood throughout the train is only heightened by the onset of a heavy storm. Outside there's a crack of thunder that rattles the train, and it begins to pour so hard the edge of the clearing is barely visible through the windows.

The rain, the thunder, and the strobe-light effect of constant lightning will continue til dawn.]

[Wherever you are in the train the cabin lights briefly seem to dim and the ambient noise around goes… Quiet… As if you’re suddenly isolated, almost cut off in another world.

A voice reverberates not through your ears but through your mind, your entire being echoes with words, right to your core, the meaning as sharp and clear as if they were spoken beside you yet they come from nowhere and everywhere.]

DOST THOU DESIRE THE POWER?




...?

WAIT--WHAT?

[Well the spooky voice seem actually pretty confused and the whole lights-dimmed-cabin-isolated-from-the-world effect fades…

If you’re anywhere but Ginger that’s about it. Weird.

In Ginger however... Stepping out of one of the doors is a young man with mussed black hair in the team pajamas looking rather bewildered. This time his words are spoken aloud, and while the quality of his voice is much more normal and human, it’s the same one that reverberated through the cabin a moment before.]

Where… Is this?

[ Crow is not in Ginger when he hears the words-- obviously he's not, he's never had any reason to. He's in the lounge, reading a book (if anyone bothered to look at the front cover, it's the Kamasutra) and minding his own business when the words hit him. They echo through him, vibrating through his blood-- his bones-- down to the very core of him.

Dost thou desire the power?

And there's something about that question that sounds achingly familiar and yet wholly not. Those memories are gone from him, but some part of him beyond memories holds onto them still. "Dost thou desire the power." The power for what?
]

Yeah, I'll bite.

[ He says this out loud to the confused voice that may or may not even hear him. ]

there is no answer or any inner spooky voices but like, watch this space or just keep an eye out for spooky voice owners I guess.]

[As Rean is approached by the team dog, Rufus elects not to get up from the couch where he's drinking tea, previously enjoying the peace and quiet.]

Good morning, Rean.

[Weird train, weird hole in his connection to the mana of Zemuria, weird--oh! Cute dog!

Rean's already kneeling to coo over the dog;]

Who's a good girl? You! You're a good girl.

[When Rufus speaks up and calls attention to himself.

Wow how depleted is his mana he didn't sense the man right there?

But he's going to keep petting this dog because he doesn't recognize Rufus, only that that is his name. He doesn't remember why he knows but he knows that.]



Good morning..?

How much do you remember?

[Let's... start with the basics. He has to remind himself he is still a polite, well-bred man who should not get pissy the instant he sees Rean.]
aesculapian: (1)

ginger, and elsewhere later

[ it's maybe an hour after SPOOKY MCLOUDVOICE'S announcement before someone else finally opens the door of their new room and pads quietly downstairs to look around. hello Ginger, meet your new teammate. who is wearing a giant toothy skull? this is fine.


later they can be found taking in the rest of the train (and the storm going on outside) with the same quiet-seeming calm, or just. standing in the Garden car, staring into space. this... is still fine? ...maybe? ]

[THIS LOOKS LIKE A FACE I CAN TRUST

Also actually he should probably be following the script? It's the only thing he remembers, the script, his purpose, his name, some basics. But this place seems way off. But things can happen, over time? Maybe?

Possibly kneeling and making a big fuss over a very happy dog does not give the impression to continue on in a big spooky voice though so he's maybe ruined that chance for a cool impression. ART THOUs and such seem a bit embarrassing now.]

Uh... Are you the one who awakened me?
ruinatings: (001)

[personal profile] ruinatings 2019-05-16 06:59 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, no. That would be the prince.

[Rean what are you doing??]

You have no idea who I am, do you?
awakenerd: (?)

[personal profile] awakenerd 2019-05-16 06:59 am (UTC)(link)
[Oh does he get two awakeners?? He's probably still petting the dog when Randy reacts.]

...? Did you not call on me?

[Giving your dog a tummy rub?]

Prince? Where is he?

Should I know you?
crimeson: (it's hard)

[personal profile] crimeson 2019-05-16 07:01 am (UTC)(link)
I didn't! And I don't know whether to thank the guy who did with flowers or a fist in the face.

[Still in Ginger getting used? to the situation?

Whoa cool skull.]

Hello?

[personal profile] awakenerd 2019-05-16 07:02 am (UTC)(link)
I confess this situation is highly unusual.

[Rufus knows there is 0 he can do to prevent Rean bonding with Leonie so he's not trying.]

Given our complicated history, I'd say yes. But a large portion of those who wake here have lost their memories, so that's no surprise. As for the prince, he's away at his castle, or so he claims. You may get a chance to speak to him eventually.
crimeson: (i know where it goes)

[personal profile] crimeson 2019-05-16 07:03 am (UTC)(link)
[...crouching to also pet the dog.]

Yeah, no kidding. What sorta thing were you expecting?
