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!]]

well he's sitting up now. ]
How? Is that some kind of magic?
no subject
...or it's magic, but if it's that, it's a kind I don't know.
no subject
[ quiet for a moment as he considers the possibility, ]
Other worlds are ... interesting.

And the first programmable computer wasn't even invented until like 60 years ago! Versus trains, which we've had for about 200 years.
no subject
I'm familiar with most of these technologies, though I don't quite remember what a computer is.

Then this entire train... is being driven by a machine, you think?
