joyboundWho: everyone!
When: Day 55, evening
Where: The Aurora
You are under attack from gingerbread men for six hours. It's scary and exhausting, but finally you feel a shift in the air -- a sense of lightness -- and the Construct's voice comes from the intercoms again.
In a few more minutes, they'll disperse. For now. You now have better access to the plateau on which the train is situated, and can explore if you like. You'll find that the plateau itself is rather small, and the river of honey tumbles off the side of it down into the peppermint forest. On top, where you are, there are only a few trees here and there -- it's mostly flat and full of grass.
The farther one strays from the Prism and the Aurora, the taller the sugar grass gets. After 100 meters or so it becomes a dense brush, dotted by gumdrop boulders and bushes with branches made of cookie and leaves of chocolate. You may even find the honey spring, the birth of the river, surrounded in gumdrop pebbles and fruity-smelling moss. One must be careful, however -- corrupted by Malice, these tasty treats are often poisonous, and there are sickly sweet enemies crawling about.
As of now, there's no way to leave the plateau. Those who attempt to climb down will find themselves wrapped in taffy vines and pulled into the darkness, where they'll lose consciousness -- they'll wake up in their bed a few hours later, feeling nauseous and unsettled.
After a little while, a second message pops up -- it's your new upgrade poll!
In addition, there's now a link to an IC Guide written by Cardamom on your Chains. This provides some basic plot info, and newbies from this upcoming round on will be prompted to read it. Hooray for public information!
The rest of the evening will be mainly uneventful. It's a good time to lick your wounds, discuss the poll, or do some exploring! For the moment, you're settled. Now all you have to do is survive this second corrupted Star. Right now it's chilly, with a dark sky with no sun, moon, or stars to be seen. But with a little bonding, surely it'll become a paradise!
[[NOTES: The upgrade poll will close next Monday, upon which the new train car will be implemented. In the meantime, if there's anything you think we neglected to include in the IC guide, please ping Cleo on discord and we'll see about updating it. We hope this puts everyone on the same footing, so no plot info is locked behind NPC interactions. We'll be sure to be diligent in updating it when new info is revealed.
And finally, we have added a star archive to the mod journal, so you can keep track of where we've been and what items your character may have brought along with them. Thank you!]

System setup complete. Initializing protection systems now. Thank you for your patience, and good luck on your new Star.As the message ends, square-shaped sparkles alight around the train, pushing out into a radius of 100 feet or so. The gingerbread men pause, then retreat outside the area, growling with frustration.
