New Arrivals (All new characters)

You're falling, and you can't remember why. It's a sickening feeling that makes your insides lurch; the darkness and the vertigo combine, and all you can think of is a story you heard once, somewhere.

Ah, I remember now. It's... a simple story that everyone knows. A legend of a Princess, the Demon Lord who kidnapped her, and the Knight who fought to save her. The Demon Lord had kidnapped the Princess countless times, but every time the Knight bested his challenges and rescued the Princess. No matter what tricks and ploys the Demon Lord used, the Knight would always triumph in the end. This was because--

The world tilts on its axis one last time, and the dream slips from your mind as easily as it arrived. A new voice intrudes on your sleep. Mechanical, monotonous.

"Next stop: Rakuen City. This train terminates here. The next stop is Rakuen. All change." The train rocks steadily as it winds its way through white drifts of snow. Sunlight streams through the window, heating the air and making the seats almost uncomfortably warm. A puff of steam from the train winds its way lazily past the windows when the wind is right.

It's strangely difficult to shake off the sleep; the rhythm of the train seems to lull you back into slumber and the air is warm and heavy, making it hard to keep hold of a thought. Finally, though, the nausea settles, the last of the dream fades and you can take in your surroundings. And, perhaps more importantly, those around you in a similar state.

"We have arrived at Rakuen City. All passengers must leave the train. This train is terminating here. This is Rakuen."

I'm sorry I couldn't help. You should try and be more careful so you don't hurt them more, you wouldn't want them to get infected.

Well I woke up in another cart, before that I was at school...

[ She nods and looks out the window. ] I was exploring. But I had to dig.

I wish I had gone to school.
isur2ndprincess: (oh!)

You couldn't find things to make a shovel?

I can try and teach you things when we get to... wherever we're going.

[ She shakes her head. ] I wandered away from all my stuff. And then I couldn't get back.

That would be cool. I can teach you science, if you want.
isur2ndprincess: (oh!)

I'm sorry, I didn't know.

Oh are you a scientist? Where did you learn that?
greenspaces: (it catches up with you)

It's okay.

My grandpa taught me. He was a super cool scientist adventurer creator hunter.

That sounds like a lot of fun. My father owns a dojo but I was never a really good fighter.
greenspaces: (quietly impressed)

That's okay. Not everyone needs to be a fighter, or the world would be boring.
