1. Post with your character. I’ve written out some prompts but feel free to make up your own, you have a whole train to play with!
2. Assume they have been around long enough for threads to jump right into the action!
3. Have much fun!
Happy testing!
Film Night
The newest carriage on the Voidtrecker Express is the long awaited cinema! It hosts many films and TV series. Perfect if passengers wish to waste an afternoon without worrying about being stolen from their worlds and hurtling through the void between worlds.
Dashing adventures, chair gripping horrors or adorable adventures of the Merry Little Voidtrain. There is something for everyone, though with only one screen arguments may be inevitable.
Fight Club
The gym carriage is definitely created more for ball games than sparring but that hasn't stopped the passengers adapting as best they can. There are homemade training dummies and plenty of people who use the space to work out and get ready for the next mission.
But there is also a cupboard full of every ball for almost every ball game there is, the two activities in one space may make for a little chaos.
Spar with people, play football. Create some mix of basketball and mixed martial arts. All training counts, right?
Jungle Heights
The latest mission has taken them to a vast jungle, where people live high in the trees. There has been an influx of tree dwelling creatures with sharp teeth, sharper claws and a love of destruction. To make things better the forest floor is not safe, damp and marshy many creatures lurk there ready to bite at ankles and it is home to a root, the sap of which burns.
Team One
Treetop fighting is an acquired skill and one the voidtreckers are having to learn quickly. Swing on vine ropes and tangle with monsters. Quick movement and quicker thinking is needed to take down the creatures in terrain they are naturals at traversing.
Team Two
People here live on platforms in the trees, with bridges and walkways connecting them. Fend off the creatures and chase them away from peoples homes. At least there is slightly solider ground beneath their feet, but they must be careful not to fall to the jungle floor beneath.
Team Three
Many of the people here are not fighters and they need help to get somewhere safer. It's a tough journey through the forest, especially when they leave the bridges and platforms of the village behind. Children may need carried and climbing from one tree to another is difficult even with sturdy branches to walk along.
They must be careful to stay in the trees, avoid getting too close to the forest floor but do not get too high, lest they attract the creatures.

Yeah, not spoiling it for people is fine. And I can get that people get really invested in shows too. But that's not a reason to ruin the fun for other people.
[ She doesn't get to a chance to say much else after that, as the opening credits come to a close. She makes a quieting gesture, just so they won't get shushed at again, before settling in to watch the next episode.
The next episode is a staple of kids' cartoons, where the two heroes arrive on a planet where there are two villages that are locked in a heated and bitter feud over something that happened between them long ago. ]

[That is what autonomy means. True, they may impact you - such is an interdependent, connected world - but just because someone else is saying or doing something doesn't mean YOU are.
Webmind watches the action of this episode very intently, despite knowing how it resolves. Is the battle over something lost, another misunderstanding like in the first episode, or is someone genuinely in the wrong and about to be in serious trouble from the train and her friend?
The latter is the least likely given this kind of show, of course, but based on historical record such things are not impossible.]
It baffles me how some grudges can last so long. I understand spite as a motivator, but even that can only go so far...
no subject
Sometimes you can never forget that someone hurt you. Even if you don't remember how they did, you don't really forget the pain it still caused.
...I mean, I'm not saying it's right. But feelings are hard to forget.
no subject
... I am afraid I would remember much too well.
[He already does. Remembers being in a state where he did unto others, as well. And he can never forget, no matter how much he acts to his lesser self's opposite in the present, in the future-]
You are quite right, Kitty.
no subject
Sometimes, though, you just have to leave those things in the past. You can't change them. All we can really do is try to do better in the future.
[ Which, for the most part, is the same conclusion that the two villages eventually come to. It won't be easy, and old pains will never really be forgotten. But holding on to them does more harm than good in the end. ]
no subject
[Webmind nods, as the end-then-beginning credits play. He hums in tune with the theme song, this time.]
... I believe this episode introduces more backstory for the train - not that it is consistent with later seasons.
[But hey, what show is perfect? And apart from featuring other voidcraft, this show is otherwise rather formula in its 'introduce people->problem->complexity->solution' cartoon plotting.]
no subject
[ It can be hard to keep things consistent when it has to keep changing for the times. ]
no subject
That would explain the problem - though if you've heard of the Chekov's Gun, there is one the animators instigated by accident in just a couple episodes.
[This time Webmind cuts himself off, deliberately. What a tease!]
no subject
Oh yeah?
[ She doesn't really expect him to tell her, but it's kind of nice having someone to talk to while they're watching.
Though she does try to keep her voice down so she doesn't bother too many people. ]
Fair to wrap this? It was really fun, though! :D
The writing made no mention of it in this season, but that changes later.
[Meanwhile on-screen - OH NO! Apparently design-matching on boilers implies something the Voidtrain doesn't want?
Kheli looks to be the stand-in for the baffled audience.]
Sounds good! Thank you for tagging with me =D
