Mix It Up

Normally, the morning announcement has you waking up in your designated bed, in your designated cabin, with your three designated roommates. This morning, something's wrong - you're waking up in a bed, in a cabin, with three roommates. But it isn't your bed, your cabin, or your roommates.

It looks like you've all been shuffled during the night. Pity no one's belongings got the memo, you don't recognise any of this stuff. At least you're in your own pyjamas.

Let Slip The Hot Dogs Of War

The carriage-length table and benches of the dining carriage are practical. Sturdy. Easy to clean. It's a good thing, too, because roughly thirty seconds ago, a handful of boiled vegetables went flying across the room and hit someone with a wet splat.

Twenty-nine seconds ago, war was declared.

One overturned bench and three pots of cabbage later, you've picked a side. Or a side has picked you, with a projectile sailing towards your face.

Follow Your Heart

The glittering, futuristic world of Tresques has long been protected by the Ciel Maidens, young women who wield their mighty empathic abilities to subdue and pilot gigantic mechanical monsters called Arc Frames. Now, with disaster on the horizon, their powers have vanished.

Team One

The primary foes of the Ciel Maidens are the Morne, hulking many-limbed shadows born from the nightmares and fears of the people of Tresques. Intangible, they roam the cities feeding on heightened emotions and stirring ill thoughts. Granted emergency Ciel badges and the use of the Arc Frames, team one are to combat the Morne wielding happiness, friendship and love as their weapons. Miniskirts are optional.

Team Two

Camille, ace of the Ciel Maidens, has disappeared, after sealing the empathic powers of the entire order to avoid the loss of any more Maidens to tragedy such as that killed her partner and destroyed their Arc Frame. Team two, based in the order headquarters, are to find out as much as they can about the fate of her beloved, find Camille, and convince her to unseal the powers of the Ciel Maidens.

Team Three

The Ciel Maidens have scattered to the far reaches of Tresques, seeking to restore their own powers and their confidence in themselves and each other. Some are so affected as to have birthed Morne of their own, the creatures possessing the Arc Frames and wreaking havoc. Team three are to search for the Maidens and bring them home.

Peter Parker | Spider-Man (PS4)

Mix It Up

Peter honestly is used to ending up in odd sleeping positions. Being a super hero and all that means he'll probably falls asleep somewhere that isn't his own bed. But, didn't the train keep things nice and orderly? If that was the case, why was his Spider-Sense going off?

As he opened his eyes, he realized why. This isn't his beautiful cabin. This isn't his beautiful bed.

"Okay, this is the first time I've been pranked and not warned about it..."

Let Slip the Hot Dogs of War

You know what's not fun? When the guy you're trying to bean with a cabbage has the ability to dodge all of those projectiles easily. Which is why Peter's electing to stay out of the fight and let the others have their fun. Nothing's fun when you have the ability to take everyone out and dodge their attacks. Thus, he's enjoying his lunch and casually ducking and swaying as things go flying.

"Bullets and bombs are one thing. Cabbages is something completely different. Man, I wonder if the Avengers ever deal with something like this. I'm sure the Fantastic Four does, though..."

Team One

"YEE-HAW!" Peter, suited up as both Spider-Man and in one of the Ciel Maiden outfits to pilot the Arc Frames, was having the time of his life. Using one of these machines was almost exhilarating to him. "Man, I don't know why there was only two other Spider-Men with giant robots! We all need one!"

As he slugged the Morne he was battling, a pressing question came to his mind.

"Is there any way I can get a better skirt? The color is so clashing!"

Team Two

Peter could empathize with Camille somewhat. Losing someone is always hard. Boy, he knows that all too well. Ben. May. Otto... two of them. But Camille took it way too hard. She punished herself and others. An entire world in danger from her actions. Was it selfishness or something else?

Right now, he had to find out something! At the moment, he was busy working on a computer, trying to zip through everything he can find.

"Man, seems like these two were really close. Feels like there's more, though!"

Charlie just wanted a peanut butter and jelly sandwich to take back to her cabin so she could get some quiet. What she got was, very nearly, a face full of mashed potatoes. Oddly enough, if anyone was watching, the glob of potatoes seemed to suddenly veer to her left and missed her entirely. It spattered against the wall and Charlie ducked behind an upturned table.

Glancing up at Peter, she raises an eyebrow a bit.

"The Fantastic what?" She has never heard of them. Or the...was it the Avengers? No clue. None. Please help.

Gladly!

[newsuitsameoldme]

"The Fantastic Four. Oooh, right, need to remember not everyone knowns who they are." Peter said, mentally facepalming. "They're superhero teams on my world. Though, the Fantastic Four is actually a family first."

He calmly catches a thrown chicken and launches it back.

man this is exciting cr

[ambusti_terrae]

"Are they like you?"

Which means Charlie's been taking note. Of a lot of people, actually. She's never really been around other people with abilities. Hell, on her world? She is one-hundred percent sure she is the only person who can do what she can.

Like use telekinesis to lift an abandoned lunch tray and use it as a shield against a roll that was thrown at her. Whoever threw it is disappointed, and shouts something along the lines of 'charlie, that's cheating!'

Which she shrugs at, not at all caring. Her original goal still stands firm. She wants a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. Not this chaos.

Yes, it is!

[newsuitsameoldme]

"Smart? Well, Reed is the real genius but the others catch on and... oh, wait, you mean if they have powers. Yeah, they do."

Peter leans back a bit to dodge another pile of mashed potatoes.

"My world actually has a little of both in terms of heroes, honestly. Some guys have powers, some don't. You think they're in over they're head but they have their ways of getting through."

Re: Yes, it is!

[ambusti_terrae]

That gets almost a smile out of Charlie. She's really not the most emotive person, but an almost smile is better than nothing.

"I'm not from somewhere like that," Charlie admits, keeping herself in a crouch.

"The super smart people have been, in my experience, the ones causing all of the bad things that happen. Or at least, a lot of them. And I might be the only person with any kind of powers back home."

Which is bad, Peter. So bad.

[newsuitsameoldme]

Yes, very bad. "Ugh. Yeah, that's rough. I know the feeling - there are some super smart bad eggs in my world. Though, some are... sympathetic."

His mind was wandering back to Octavius again. He shook his head briefly.

"But, I'm guessing that your uniqueness means you're under attack?"

[ambusti_terrae]

"Nearly all my --- "Aaand that's about when Charlie takes a tomato up the side of her head. She tries to spot whoever threw it, ready to fire something back. Which, it should be pointed out that she's not literally going to fire something. As in there will be no firing involved. However, should someone take a banana to the face (much like the slightly mushy one Charlie's throwing back in the general direction of where that tomato came from)? That's okay. Right?

Of course it is. This is a food fight, and Charlie has tomato juice in her right eye.

"Damn, that...is unpleasant," she states, rubbing her eye slightly on the sleeve of her hoodie.

"Nearly all my life. Kind of thankful for the train, to be honest. No one gives a shit, here." Which is a huge break.

[newsuitsameoldme]

"Whoo, boy, they're getting tough here!" Peter said, ducking down himself. They're getting out the heavy guns here! This is crazy.

"All your life? Sheesh. Yeah, looks like everyone here's quite chill. Makes things a lot easier."

[ambusti_terrae]

"I really just wanted a peanut butter sandwich. I didn't know I'd have to fight to the death for it," Charlie replies, somewhere between amused and irritated. This actually is getting a little out of hand and Charlie's not as hungry as she was before. She can go to bed without the food. She's done it before.

"Okay, so tell me about the good people in your world. The good ones with brains to spare."

[newsuitsameoldme]

"Good people in my world? Well... there's plenty." Peter said. "Reed Richards is one of them. Leader of the Fantastic Four, not great in the person-to-person deal, but when you get into science, he'll gladly run you ragged. Then, there's Tony Stark..."

Peter paused a bit. "Actually, I think there's a Tony here, but I'm confused as to why he looks like Robert Downey Jr. I never pictured him looking like RDJ. But, well, alternate worlds."

[ambusti_terrae]

"Yeah, I thought he was Robert Downey for a moment, but something told me to not ask for an autograph." She will admit to that much, just as a cabbage goes flying over her head.

"Gotta be honest, here? The waste of food is really irking the homeless street kid in me."

...technically she still is that homeless street kid, but that's really not relevant is it?

No. No, it's not.

"Richards is a scientist," she asks, sort of wary now. It's probably a hint that all the awful people after her were scientists. Not to mention asking to hear about good smart people. The smart people she's had experience with? They tend to suck.

Majima has never been a fan of sleeping on the train, let alone living onboard one. The bunks are kind of claustrophobic, you see. But after several nights he got used to the whole sharing-a-cabin-business. Which means, he recognizes it's gotten all wrong the moment when he hears an unfamiliar voice. The full alert reaction includes jumping into a sitting position, but given he's now on the top bunk— he hits the roof with a quiet 'oomph' followed by a quiet curse.

"Wouldn't be much of a prank, if we got a warnin'—" he mutters massaging his temple and shifts on the bed, so he can get the rest of the cabin into his field of vision. "I'm gonna have words with whoever thought it's a funny idea."
