In the afternoon of day 25 of Imagination (ooc: 20th December) there will be an announcement that the train is about to arrive in a world.
World#5562102022: Home of the famous Winter Faire. Voidtreckers may spend the evening here. Please remember your Snowcoins. Enjoy.
The dressing carriage will open with hats, gloves, scarves and thicker winter jackets for passengers to wear. There will also be ice skates for everyone.

Winter Faire

The fair is a large one, mostly made up of a large market of wooden huts. The market is held outside; while it's dark when they arrive, there are floating lights twinkling in the darkness that illuminate the area. There is snow on the ground and a light flurry in the air, the perfect amount of snow to be atmospheric without anyone being too damp or cold.

There are two large ice rinks, and ice paths weave through the market, with many of the eateries having 'ice gardens' where skaters can rest and drink before continuing their skating. There are ordinary paths through the market as well, for the less adventurous. In the centre of the market there is a large ferris wheel, where guests can sit in glass bubbles filled with soft cushions and blankets as they view the snowy market from above.

To the north of the market there is a snowy field with a hill perfect for sledging, and sleds to borrow for any who want them. To the south there is a small woodland where a member of staff will allow guests through with warnings to be peaceful and not disturb the creatures. There are indeed woodland creatures within: deer, rabbits, strange white pompom-looking creatures. They are comfortable with people, and won't flee.

All the activities in the faire are free. The actual market sells drinks: hot chocolate, mulled wine, beer, spiced apple juice and cider amongst some more alien picks like a bright pink concoction that is delicious but very alcoholic; food: sausages, bread, cakes, roasted chestnuts, candied nuts, stroopwafel and a whole collection of unrecognisable but delicious things.

The stalls don't sell much that would be considered useful, but are filled with trinkets, decorations, cute hats, sweets, fudge etc. Everything in the market, from a mug of beer to a blown glass ornament costs one snowcoin, the snowflake tokens that passengers received on station day. Each passenger has ten to spend.

A log will go up on the 20th December!

so since we had the train ama, i thought it was good to know what characters would have shared with each other and what would be common knowledge now because of it! there's actually an ic post to do so over here and please, tag it by all means, it's fun to play out!! but maybe some people haven't because they were still threading the whole thing out or are just busy because of holidays or anything like that, so i thought it might be good to have a quick and easy way of sharing here too.

so please, if your character would publically have shared any of the answers they received from the train, please comment on this post and say what they would have shared! it'll also make this a good overview post for anyone to check up on what their character would know after the whole thing.
