Event: Power Returns
Who: Everyone!
When: Day 2, evening
Where: ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
[Well, uh, that red dolphin seems to have been successfully fended off! Good job everyone, you are truly terrifying.
A five minute warning is issued by the pleasant robotic voice from last time: the six hour wait is over. Right as the countdown is finishing up, the power flickers on in the remaining powerless cars, with the startling sound of every single mechanical door in the train closing at once. So those are working now.
Similarly, your previously nonfunctional Chains are coming to life, displaying a helpful little welcome message:
Welcome aboard the Aurora!
You have been selected by the Star Prince as a potential hero, tasked with saving the universe from Malice. As a passenger I, your Construct and Conductor, will attempt to provide you with quality lodgings and safety. In return, we ask that you join your fellows in making bonds and doing your utmost to bring joy back to the Stars.
Due to the process of restoring your body, you may find some things are missing. We apologize for the inconvenience and hope to return them to you as soon as possible. Thank you for your cooperation.
You are also now able to access and fill out your profiles.
With that, the train shudders into motion. Except rather than moving strictly horizontally, it's slanting up after it's moved only a few feet, picking itself up off the hazardous beach car by car and snaking through thin air. Here's hoping you got the message to hold onto something during takeoff when the cars started tilting.
The trip only lasts a few short minutes before the train shudders again, worryingly, and descends abruptly into the jungle below. It's less of a crash-landing than the one that presumably woke you up in the first place, but it's not the smoothest, either, what with all the plant life the train is crashing into. Do try not to hit your heads, everyone.]
[[OOC NOTE: The train has moved into the jungle. The power is on in every carriage! This means food is now in the fridges, the doors all actually work, and characters now have access to the sparks shop.
This is an event post, so you can take 300 points for participating!]]

In his defense, he's never ridden on anything bigger than a wagon before.]

Wolfwood's ridden sand steamers before. not his favourite method of travel, but it beat walking, before he got himself Angelina.
does any of this stop him from pitching straight onto his face when it starts moving? no. does it stop him from pitching backwards and beaning his head on a light fixture in the carriage halls when it stops? also no. ]
God— damn— it!

[Meanwhile, 80H is Totally Fine and also there's a very large sphere of water nearby with floating chunks of dolphin in it.]

this is definitely not dolphin-safe tuna.
When the train starts to move, she isn't bothered, taking hold of something to compensate for the angle. The water sphere does not adjust.]
I suppose we are off, then.

[at least the message seems friendly enough. perhaps they shouldn't be too harsh on it when it's trying to be so welcoming... also please pretend he didn't just stumble backwards a few steps.]

"Some things are missing"... I suppose it's at least an explanation, but really? Really?

You're not going to stay there, are you? [She's not heavy at all but... It's the principle of the thing.
And he's not comfortable, when his greatsword is between himself and the wall taking his entire weight and digging grooves into the parts of his back that don't have scales. That's going to leave unflattering patterns on his skin for a while, especially with the blue cloth robes he's wearing.]

Alternately, it's a little later, and the smell of cooking meat and aromatics fills the Licorice car as she prepares food for several people, without any prompting.]

when it's all over--she's managed to land upside down and has to carefully right herself and pull her clothes back into normal order. ]
I would like to speak with the driver of this coach, immediately.
