Event: Expulsion

[voidtreckermods]

Welcome to our first train event! The IC start is here!

The train will remain in space for the whole of the 24th day and night cycle (ooc: 16/17th August).

During that time:

~ There is no power throughout the train. There are red emergency lights above each door and also low level lighting along the floor. Some emergency system clearly is in place as the fridge and freezer still have power to them, as do the machines in the medical bay. Nothing else works though. The ICP screens are all down, though the voice function still works for getting messages around the train.

~ Likewise the water supply has been cut. Don’t worry there is a supply of bottled water in the store room for such an emergency!

~ Whatever emergency system the train is running on right now has managed to maintain the temperature at a safe level. Safe however does not mean comfortable. It is cold. Characters are not in actual danger of freezing but they probably want to wear those extra hoodies and wrap a blanket or two around them.

~ Everything big is bolted down. The beds, the chairs, the tables and the appliances in the kitchen and laundry room are all bolted to the floor or walls. However the small things are not. The crates in the store room are likewise bolted down and the lids to have catches, if they have been fastened by the last person to use them is a different question… The shelves have barriers to stop stock from falling but that doesn’t do much to stop them falling when every way is down. It is quickly apparent what the announcement meant by securing the train. Crockery, cutlery, food supplies, luggage, anything that was loose is now floating free and while it’s not necessarily a problem right now it may turn into one once they re-enter the void. Or if someone nudges a knife in your direction…

On the 25th day characters will wake up in their beds as normal, albeit with a small bump as the train re-enters the void and gravity is restored. Hopefully with minimal damage…

If you have any questions just ask below! Have fun!

Re: Questions?

[mtsilver_conquor]

Asking here so everyone can see it.

Is the language-translation thingy affected even briefly? Or at all by whatever emergency power the train's running on? Asking for reasons.

[voidtreckermods]

Good Question! I knew there was a system I missed!

There is a very brief moment (where all the systems are critical) where it is down but by the time the announcement about oxygen systems stabilising happens it is up and running again. They are not likely to notice (between the pressure in their heads and their ears ringing) but if they are close to someone else they might realise for a moment they can't understand them.

[enthunder]

If people with teleportation powers try, can they move to outside of the train/in space?

[voidtreckermods]

No they cannot, they just teleport to near the wall. Sorry!

[enthunder]

OH GOOD she can't survive in space.

Re: Questions?

[siriusly]

can any dialogue with the broadcast speaker be had, or it it strictly just info blurbs/automated prompts on the ICP?

[voidtreckermods]

It all seems to be automated prompts so far. Is Manabu attempting contact?

[siriusly]

yeah! he's really itching to get to the engine to see what's going on

[voidtreckermods]

How is he doing so? Through the ICP or is he attempting another wall punching session?

[siriusly]

No wall punching! Just ICP and yellin at the wall

[voidtreckermods]

His yelling will be met with silence, but if he yells long enough through the ICP there will be a message through into the store carriage. Reminder: All passengers are to help in securing the train for re-entry into the Void.

Re: Questions?

[runs_on_batteries]

Are we getting any team points for this :D

Not that Tony needs more points..

[voidtreckermods]

Train-based events don't earn team points. The team point rewards for non-mission months are from the roleplay challenge/thought of the day"

That's not to say there won't be potential other rewards...

[runs_on_batteries]

No worries! Just curious

Plotting!

[voidtreckermods]

Plotting with Peter

[hashtagparkerluck]

Spiders can't regulate heat very well so Peter won't start shivering for quite a while and might slow down a bit. Please wrap him in lots of blankets.

Re: Plotting with Peter

[mtsilver_conquor]

Eva will do that for sure! Or add to the pile on him.

Re: Plotting with Peter

[tinkerheart]

Feanor would check on both of the spiderkiddos the moment he “wakes up” (or rather is shaken out of not-so-nice memories relieving by banging his head into the bunk above him)
He would like to know if they weren’t kidnapped again ;)

[enthunder]

Blanket pile in 1A, I guess!

Re: Plotting with Peter

[runs_on_batteries]

Well duh, Tony's coming Peter's way first to check on him. :D But idk what else we want to do. Looks like you have a fun blanket pile party already.

Re: Plotting with Peter

[afterburner]

Clearly it's time for SOUP on the train...

Plot with Eva

[mtsilver_conquor]

Anyone near Eva when the very briefly while all systems are critical will hear her speak in Not!Japanese literally asking a dumb question: ok who's Porygon got corrupted into a Z? (Porygon-Z).

Princess will be sitting this one out in his pokeball because floating due to lack of gravity makes him unhappy, and Eva will be aiding others and helping to secure things as needed.

lightning and kumoko

[enthunder]

yayyyyyy emergency plot

I've put Kumoko in the kitchen so absolutely feel free to jump in there for a kitchen group.

Unsure about where Lightning is, open to ideas!

Re: lightning and kumoko

[tinkerheart]

Do you want Feanor to show up, see them with all the knives and immediately assume the worst?

[kumoko]

By all means!

Plotting with Tony?

[runs_on_batteries]

I'm blanking on just what to do with him. My guess is he's going to be trying to talk to the conductor, insisting on letting him help with the engine. Beyond that, I'm not sure. Anyone want to be rescued or aided or otherwise bothered by this old dork?

[bombashbunny]

Ash would probably be right with Tony on trying to repair/talk to the conductor to help repair the engine, but I'm not sure what to do with that lol

[runs_on_batteries]

We should definitely do something here! Actually, since they're in the same room want to also deal with Tony falling into her bed and having a flashback?

[bombashbunny]

Sorry this is so late but I'm totally down for that, I like the idea a lot! She won't know what to do at all but I'm sure she'll be able to wing it!

[runs_on_batteries]

https://voidtreckerexpress.dreamwidth.org/5908.html?thread=598548#cmt598548 For you! And feel free to have Ash help him. He's still a little drugged on the sleep aid so he's not totally sure what's going on.

(and this is before he takes the unknown pills lol)

[bombashbunny]

good i don't have to chide him for taking ILLEGAL DRUGS d;

[bombashbunny]

Very vaguely all I know with her she'll likely see if she can do anything to help fix the train? But when that doesn't go well she will likely try to strap stuff down before it all falls apart when the gravity comes back on.

I'm thinking of having her have a panic attack while floating in the gym during the initial loss of gravity and oxygen and whatnot, just not sure if anyone would be in the gym at that time for a little morning workout?

[sweetnessandfight]

Pretty sure Renee's already in the kitchen with Charlotte/Kumoko, but Sarai could always try to get a little pre-day workout in...

Re: Plotting!

[unholyandbroken]

Who wants to discover Jessie and tight spaces don't mix?

[knifewithnoname]

Little One could but I can't promise she will be that sympathetic about it...
