Event start: On the train

[utopiamods]

The clothes Dunleavy had mentioned were simple light trousers, three plain t shirts in school colours, a warm jumper; again in school colours and a pair of walking boots. There was also a small rucksack so spare clothes and other belongings could be packed.

On the platform NPCs were loading what seemed to be tents, cooking stoves and sleeping bags into the hold. Those chosen were ushered onto the train and told to sit wherever they liked.

Once everyone had arrived the whistle sounded and for the first time in fourteen weeks the train set off in the opposite direction. Smoke whistled happily past the window as they began to go faster past meadows and trees.

Then, quite suddenly everyone began to feel very sleepy. "There is a story everyone knows..." It was that old dream again, lulling you in and you find your eyes dropping against your will...

When you wake up the train is slowing and the countryside looks different, mountainous, rougher; a little more wild.

"Attention everyone, the train is approaching it's final destination. Please be ready to leave the train in half an hour." As people shake off the last of the sleep this message continues.

Then it changes, "You will notice that some of your now possess a coloured exaclan glove on your chair, others will notice a coloured ring. Please put them on now. Your first task is to find your Player if you are a Weapon, or your Weapon if you are a Player. Find the person whose colour matches yours."

Re: Orange

"I have orange!" Merlin turned to the voice he had heard, moving down the rows until he saw the winged girl, some kind of magical creature. He tilted his head and grinned showing the ring.

"Wait they said to look for a glove..."

[unflinchable]

"I've got the glove, of course," Arthur says as he walks over to the other two, "So I've got both of you? Good, we can use more people when we go on a hunt."

He claps Merlin on the back and looks over at Cirno, "we can catch, kill, clean, and eat our dinner, just like old times." Translation: Arthur will hunt, you two get to do everything else.

[frozenmemories]

Cirno just blankly stares for a moment, "What do you mean by that..? Shouldn't we wait and see what this whole thing is about first? I mean..the voice did say this was only our first task.."

She slips the ring on her finger as she talks reluctantly. This was going to be a long trip...

Merlin was relieved when he saw Arthur, not that he wanted to be the Weapon of the prat, at least he was a known prat. Not an unknown person. He did role his eyes at the mention of hunting. "How do you even know there are edible animals here, it's a different world." He slipped on his ring as well and gave Cirno a soft smile.

"He gets far too excited about killing things."
