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."

Yuka thought her regular outfit was just fine for traveling, but she decided to compromise - she wore her own shirt and vest with the supplied pants. It was red and white, that ought to be good enough. She'd pack the other clothes in case of need.

When Yuka woke up, she noticed the blue glove on her seat. Obviously the colors had been picked by some method other than to coordinate with their attire.

And Cirno had orange... Well, it was inevitable that they wouldn't be together all the time. It should be fine.

As for herself, she looked around, but didn't see anyone else with blue...

Cheshire, as usual, was naked, but considering that he has a rather thick fur coat, it seemed of little issue. He walked up the the person with the blue glove wearing his usual grin and dragging his duffle-bag behind him. While the colour blended a bit with the grey of his fur, the ring itself was rather odd to see around the 'finger' of Cheshire's paw.

"Looking for me?"

Yuka wasn't -expecting- a talking cat, but she wasn't really alarmed by it either - nothing she hadn't seen back home. And given the accessories one of them sometimes sported, the ring didn't seem that unusual. At least it looked like it might stay on by itself.

"I suppose that I am." She smiled. "I'm Yuka Kazami."

"I'm me!" the cat grinned wider, unhelpful as usual. He tugged a bit on the duffle bag behind him with his front paw; it seeming a bit unfairly large, considering that it was at least three of him. Somehow though, he seemed to be coping with it well enough.

Yuka smiled. "Of course. It'd be a problem if you weren't you, wouldn't it?" She gave the bag a somewhat askance look, but decided that since he seemed to be able to handle it it was best to leave him to it.

"But it doesn't matter much who I am, because that is always changing after all."

Aria completely failed to wake up when the announcement went out over the PA concerning Weapons, Players, and Colors. Also, since she's asleep on a train, it's not uncommon to shift while sleeping, so her ring is obscured by her person.

It is not until everyone has left the train that Aria wakes up, very confusedly. She has no memory of the dream she just had, though it did seem familiar in some way. Looking down, she notices the duffel she packed earlier containing what was provided by the school's staff as well as the bag of sweets she purchased from the shop to share with Yuka. Now, where was Yuka? She knew Yuka was on this train at some point.

Aria started up, when she noticed a clinking noise on the floor. Peering down under the seats, Aria sees a blue ring rolling to a stop. Assuming someone must have dropped it or left it behind (not realizing herself was included in that list), Aria picked it up, dropped it in her duffel, and proceeded off the train.
