3. Have much fun!

Happy testing!

Greenhouse

The newest carriage is a greenhouse.

The ceiling is a dome shape, a single metal beam runs from one end to another, mounted on this beam are large bright lights.

The aisle of grass runs down the middle, from one door to the next. Stone paths branch off around raised beds of soil. Nothing is growing yet but there are crates in which passengers can find a whole host of seeds and bulbs for various flowers.

Plenty for passengers with green fingers to do! Plant some seeds, tend to those they have planted already. Chase away people who have no idea what they are doing! Remind them they have to take the seeds out of the packet first!

If planting is a new thing then the ICP has some handy gardening tips or they can always ask their fellow Voidtreckers!

Sports Balls

For those who prefer their hobbies much more energetic then the gym's cupboard is full of balls. Balls for every sport they can imagine! The space is long and narrow which means a little bit of adapting but there is plenty of fun to be had. Start a game of football, or basket ball.

Make some new friends and get some friendly rivalry going!

Monkey Madness!

It's a strange mission to be sure but the Voidtreckers have been called to help a huge zoo tackle a problem. Every monkey enclosure has been broken open and the creatures have gotten out and into the city, where they are causing mayhem.

Team One

Though the monkeys don't pose much threat to human life they cause quite a big of damage. Team one is to try and get as many businesses and homes safe as possible. Bring things indoors, reinforce doors and windows. Warn those in the city of the incoming horde!

Team Two

Round up the monkeys! The aim is to do this without harming and luckily they have some capture devices, that can be thrown to spring straps around a creature. Bribing them is also encouraged. The city has prepared vans for the creatures to be lured or taken to. Careful though, these monkeys are cunning and mischievous and clever enough to steal the capture devices and throw them back at the Voidtreckers! Who is catching who?

Team Three

Back in the zoo there is plenty to do. First and foremost the enclosures need fixing and reinforced. Also an investigation is underway to figure out what happened and who is responsible. If DIY or investigating work is not in a passengers skill set then there are still many other animals that need fed and cleaned!

Reward time!

Soon all the monkeys are back in their proper homes and the city put back to rights! As a thank you the zoo is handing out free ice cream and a free pass to enjoy the zoo for the day.

Have fun!

He shrugs. That's it. Just a shrug. There's finer points that the girl is missing but given her obvious age that's really not a surprise and Fandaniel... isn't inclined to hold a lesson right now. If he even sees the look she gives him it'd be a surprise, that hood isn't so good for peripheral vision.

"That sounds like something you need to be telling those who live here."

It sounds careless, as if the concern is really not his problem. He was told monkeys needed to be captured, monkeys have been captured.

There's plenty more, hooting and screeching throughout the city. "That one's a faerie apple." That would likely be the one busy growing a nice bright apple on it. "The others are primarily cloudcrawler and hedgerow ochu. The ground isn't accommodating enough for a good bout of oaks."

It's a good thing he can't see her, given she's now rolling her eyes. Or, more likely, her annoyance would be more... expected, than other reactions.

"You can count on that, anyway," Nita mutters. At least the cages are likely to cooperate when it comes time.

"Can't say I've heard of the plants, but that's par for the course. Oaks would need more rootspace, for a start."

If they were even the oaks she was familiar with!

"Very good," the behooded figure says as Nita concludes the ground isn't good for oaks, just like he said. His tone sounds less than impressed.

The downside of dealing wit children is dealing with children. "Oaks however would have been infinitely more cooperative."

With that thought, Fandaniel turns and heads further down the street, looking for a likely spot to work on another pile of fruit. The monkeys, as soon as there's even REMOTELY a space to get nearby wthout risking capture, immediately creep close to snatch at scattered fruit the others had tossed out of their cages.

Nita is welcome to follow, he hadn't told her she couldn't.

"Not rowans?"

Apart from that, though, Nita wasn't going to rise to any further discussion - or at least, that's what she tells herself.

Taking mental note of which direction he's going in, she reaches a hand to the cages themselves. Nowhere near where any of the monkeys could grab, of course.

/You're all set here, then? Enjoy the sun, guys./

Well, gender-neutral plant-focused variant thereof.

"Oaks."

Royal oaks if he wanted to get picky, it was always nice when the tree would pick up and follow after you when it was time to go somewhere else, but frankly a city just didn't have the nutrients available, or the proper space. It was a disappointing side effect of otherwise interesting scenery.

The monkeys hiss and chatter and throw what they can at Nita, as caged angry monkeys are wont to do, but the cages themselves seem quite happy to be where they are.

Oh yes, one of them whisper back, sounding utterly content. The hedgerow ochu, by Fandaniel's earlier directions. This is a very good place. The sun is good, and many nutrients to catch when we grow big and strong.

The Ascian meanwhile seems to have produced a bunch of bananas from ... god knows where, and has set about peeling the things, some twenty or thirty yards away.

The free monkeys are attentively watching.

Am okay keeping this short, though otherwise she'll still walk after him next tag.

I'm fine with either, it's a TDM after all.
