In an alternate almost exactly like the one inhabited by the Voidtrecker Express, fate went another direction. Instead of the first addition to the train's structure being the games carriage, this train's passengers voted differently.

What makes them happy?

Crocodiles.

The Crocodile carriage isn't a misnomer. It's teeming with reptiles of various sizes, basking under sunlamps or floating lazily in the raised tank built across half of the available space. To be even better for morale, they're all perfectly tame, and unnervingly friendly; it's rare that a passenger is able to cross the carriage without being accosted by some crocodile or gharial looking for attention.

The greenhouse is a surprisingly bright room, its vaulted ceiling made of a transparent, incredibly tough material that shows the light of the Void along the entire length of the room. The single metal support beam is bedecked in roses. The aisle of grass running through the centre of the carriage is riotous with strange plants and flowers, small stone paths leading off to this patch or that of vegetables or closely clustered fruit trees.

And all of them are laden with produce. Whether a stray spell or a particularly good mood from one of the resident forces of nature, every plant in the carriage has matured at once. Shrubs overflow with berries, rows of stalks groan under beans and tomatoes, apples threaten to fall from overhead branches at any moment.

You may not normally be a gardener, but today it's all hands on deck!

Cold Iron, Warm Hearts

The duchy of Yipre is one of several close-knit factions on one continent, known for both her expansive clockworks and strong links to the Fey. Central to the capital is the Clocktower, the palace home to both the Duchess Stomen and her court of scholars, diplomats and engineers. Home also to a key point in the Ley, where the mundane world and the Fey intersect just enough that one may cross from one to the other.

But the Clocktower is sundered, entire sections of iron and brass sheared away in a great earthquake, and neither world is faring well in the aftermath.

Team One

The gear sprites of the Clocktower are missing, running amok in the streets and squares of the duchy. They're tiny things, fluff, metal filings and dust made quicksilver-fast, with small, glowing eyes and bell-like voices. While normally they keep the machinery of their home running, they aren't nearly as talented with anything else, and are causing general chaos with all devices and machinery they run across. Find them, and herd them back to the Tower. Maybe get them out of the typewriter first.

Team Two

The gateway to the Fey realm is torn, and dreaming magic is spilling out from the Clocktower. Finding the Voidtreckers' minds fertile grounds for its taking, imagined creatures and realms are conjured forth from all kinds of worlds and all kinds of lives. There are many ways to combat these - play them through until the magic is satisfied, for example, or find the Voidtrecker whose mind is the source, and stop them dreaming. It's up to the Voidtreckers on this team to decide.

Team Three

The Clocktower isn't quite in ruins, but large sections are crumpled like tin foil. In other places, steam and magic spill out into the air in a chaotic mix, burning and twisting the air into glittering leaves or long ropes of thorn. And through this, those that called the palace home fight to free themselves from the wreckage. Courtiers, servants, engineers… and, somewhere, the Duchess herself. Help who you can, but find her.

You! You do similar to what Ammy does, but not; so she's been watching you. Trying to figure out how, as it doesn't seem to be a celestial brush technique...

After watching for a bit, while sitting, Ammy will let out a quiet inquisitive whine. Hopefully Leia won't be too started by the big white wolf sitting nearby and watching her.

Having been aware of the canine for awhile- it was difficult not to be, given her surprisingly powerful presence in the Force- Leia wasn't surprised. She was curious though, and since Ammy apparently was as well, she figured now might be a good time to strike up a conversation of a sort.

"Well hello," she said, smiling at the wolf. "Curious about my fruit-picking technique? Or just looking to help out and needing a hand, literally or metaphorically?"

"Wuff" Ammy said with a tail wag, and a canine grin. It had definitely sounded like an affirmative--for both questions asked.

It definitely had and Leia was taking it as such. Which meant she was also assuming that the wolf was sentient, at least enough to understand speech. "I'm using the Force," she explained. "It's a type of energy field generated by and connecting all life. With training and practice, certain people from my galaxy are able to tap into that energy for a number of purposes. The whole thing is vastly more complex than just the physical aspects of it like telekinesis, though."

"As for how you can help, I'm not sure you'd be a lot of help picking fruit unless you happen to have similar abilities to mine; that tends to require hands. But we could probably set you up with something that would let you help carry it all; Force knows getting all this stuff into proper storage is going to be a job of its own."

There were a lot of words in her explanation Ammy didn't quite understand, but she got the gist of Leia's explanation. Listening patiently, and with every sign of intelligence. Of course Ammy would help with carrying, but she also wanted to help in other ways.

Turning to look at the fruit tree, head tilted for a moment, then she nodded. Her tail twitched; Leia would feel something. Not the Force, almost as if it was Greater than it? Like reality had shifted in some tiny way.

Ammy's tail twitched, and then a fruit was falling from the tree as if it'd been cut through at the stem. Cut cleanly through, like with a blade.

Well that was certainly surprising. Leia wasn't sure exactly what Ammy had done, but it reminded her somewhat of Bending. Whatever it was though, the results were obvious. Leia's Force reflexes were quick on the draw and she caught the fruit before it could hit the ground, then causing it to float over to her hand.

She smiled at the wolf. "Well, you're just full of surprises, aren't you?", she said. "You want to pick while I catch?"
