Who: everyone
When: Day 35 morning
Where: the lounge car

[This morning, or whenever you wake up, you will find that there are delicious smells wafting from the lounge car. Upon investigation, one will discover a beautiful spread of hot cocoa and tea and coffee and many marshmallow animals, ideal for putting in your drinks or simply eating wholesale. It isn't just cats either, but many animals of a similar quality of marshmallow, whatever kinds you'd like. But you may find the warm fuzzies they impart might be a bit more than internal.

In a conspicuous place is a note in handwriting many of you may find quite familiar at this point:

Thanks for your help.

- Hazel

His signature isn't alone, either. There are a couple of others, though somehow they're far less readable? Some are definitely just little drawings. Weird.]

[[ooc notes: 10% furry event!! many marshmallows have no effect, but those that do will instill temporary animal parts up to a kemonomimi level! enjoy your ears and tails, folks. and your newbies.]]

Not really, but those are the healing pods if you're ever seriously hurt and no one with magic can help. They're a little pricey though.

Healing pods? Like...stasis?

Yeah? I haven't used them but they should be fast and effective if your need to climb in one.

[Out we go to tour the rest of the train!]

....I see. [Hmm. Something to look into. Especially price things.]

[But following along.]

[Passing each of the cabins! And finally to the garden car.]

That's most of it for now. The more we bond the more we can add to the rain, apparently.

Because the bond stuff is magic and protects our souls, right?

Yeah. Something like that. I guess the stronger our bonds the more power the prism has and the more it can do against the malice and for us.

And that gets us more train.

For...what does more train do? Just stuff for us?

I guess? To make our lives easier or have an easier time bonding. They do put us through some stress now and then.

You can buy upgrades to your room and cabin with sparks too. And they don't have to make sense. Like Ginger has a hot spring.

...seriously? Like a mountain hot spring? Not just hot tubs?

It's more like an indoor spring but yeah. It's pretty great. But basically I haven't heard of anything you can't buy, yet.

...this place is so weird.

[Like he can roll with it, he really can, but it is weird.]

That's an understatement. But, well, the down time is nice enough, and you can make it nicer if you work at it some.

You mean with the whole bonding, being friendly thing or something else?

Yep. At least I think so, but you seem on same page for that.

It's important if we want to win.

Also make life less miserable in general.

What do you do usually? For your extra effort?

Yeah.

I haven't been here as long as a lot of people, so mainly I like talking, getting to know people. Though I'm not against games, cooking, sparring, whatever.

Always up for games. Unsure on if cooking is a good idea. [Can he cook? Who knows.] Though it'd be cool if you and I could spar? I'd like to know what I can do and trial by fire may be quicker than memories.

[And hey, I'm already gonna fight your teammate a little bit when I run into her.]

I'm up for that any time, though... maybe when you don't look so beat?

....you know, if you keep saying that, just makes me want to spar with you now.

Seriously? Competitive streak?

...yeah, guess so.

[More like he doesn't like being seen as incapable.]

How about that for the next spot on our tour, where would be a good place to spar?

Probably outside would be best.

[Leading the way!]

Yeah, probably.

So how far out until it apparently gets dangerous?

The area around the train should be pretty safe, edges of the forest you'll want to keep an eye out, the deeper you go the more dangerous it gets.
