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!

What to do on a train.

The problem with trains is you are unable to get off them. Whilst hurtling through an ever changing void that’s probably a good thing all told but it can lead to boredom. Or at least it does if you don’t think creatively enough!

What can you do in a standard coach? Well the obvious, most practical use is a comfy place to sit, in relative solitude as long as no one sits too close. Read a book if you’ve the points to buy one, or write in your journal.

But thinking outside the box a standard coach is also a pretty good climbing course, up and down over the rows of seats, there’s even gaps under the seats if you want to add to the challenge. Or you could just play the floor is lava.

Escorting Dralite

Dralite: Small, bat like creatures. As chicks they are about the size of a beach ball, however it soon becomes apparent that they are predominantly made of wings. Unfurled the creature is tiny with massive wings, spanning a meter long each. It is obvious why they need an escort, they cannot yet fly and their movement is severely hampered by their disproportionate wing size. They will happily cling to any friendly creatures.

Adult dralite are about the size of a sheep with large wings and large claws. They are teritorial but not overtly hostile unless provoked.

Dralite have a screech that will floor most creatures, knocking them down disoriented. As chicks their screech will stun, giving them time to escape from danger.

This world has a sizable colony and a group of humans who preserve and look after the huge dralite nests. However it seems like a group of chicks have gone missing, poachers are suspected, probably planning on selling the chicks off world.

Team One Is to track down the missing dralite. There are clues, footprints, other tracks and rumours of an unauthorised camp of humans in the area. Follow the tracks, check out the camp, see if you can find who took the dralite chicks and where they are being kept.

Team Two Is to rescue the chicks by any means necessary. Be that sneaking in and stealing them back or bursting in to challenge the poachers and put an end to their operation once and for all.

Team Three The remaining chicks still need looked after, especially with many of the volunteers helping hunt down the missing ones. They are needy creatures that cannot mover very far on their own so rely on clinging to other species to get around. You might just find yourself with a new dralite hat or cloak clinging to you, trying to get comfy. They shriek whenever they are afraid or don’t get their way and are likely to wrap their wings around your head if things get too scary. Good luck!

Around the Campfire

Once the chicks are back safe and sound it is time for a celebration. A huge BBQ and campfire is set up for a tasty feast. Just remember to share the meat with your new dralite friends or they will get sad and sulky and that could lead to trouble.

There’s lots of food and afterwards the dralite conservationists will tell stories around the fire, inviting the trekkers to do the same. Wanting to know of the different worlds they have been to, the adventures they’ve been on. Or if real life tale telling is not for you then they will settle for a good ghost story.

{ What to do, what to do. }

Well, this is exactly how Saguru anticipated spending his summer. He had planned a fair but of traveling but mostly to Italy, Sweden, Germany and possibly France. Instead he's stuck on a train traveling through the void as he's been briefed. Part of the detective wants to refuse the explanation-to hold tight to cold, hard logic like any detective should. The other part is far too accustomed to the unexpected thanks to the shenanigans his classmates have gotten up to.

And...

well...

One of his classmates is a witch. Or at least claims to be one. He's writing in his notebook, keeping notes on all the guests on the train-each name he's written has a small description about them and information they've been kind enough to give him. He's also keeping notes on who's in what cabin and drawing out a quick but detailed diagram of where everything on the train is.

He seems focused but even if he's interrupted he'll at least try to be good-mannered about it.

{ Escorting Dralite - Team 1 }

Of course, as a detective, he's got to do the investigating. He's not too happy about the case he's been given but if he must. He's questioned several people in town and few on the outskirts before he goes to check the actual scene of the crime.

Which means he's checking the nests themselves for unusual signs of a struggle and doing his best not to be insulted as this case really does feel like a slight to his intelligence.

"Oh, hello there." He says when a baby dralite has decides it needs to sit on his shoulder. "Did you want to help me search for your friends?" He asks it. He may not really care for the case he's been given but that was no reason to be rude to the dralite. And loathe as he does to admit it-they are quite cute.

{ Around the Campfire

He has stories aplenty to tell anyone willing to listen about the life of a detective. If not there are a stories he could tell about a certain, annoying magician. Not that he want to talk about that-he does and his blood pressure might go up a bit. He takes a drink of something that he's certain must have alcohol in it. If anyone wants to hear stories about the insipid Kaitou Kid then he's going to need a lot more scotch.

Akako is totally a witch, and Kaito has the traumatic memories to prove it.

"Are you drinking?" Comes a familiar, and possibly unwelcome voice. "Is that actually alcohol? Oh my God, Hakuba's been replaced by a pod-person!"
