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."

"Um, are you okay?" ALSO WHO ARE YOU. John has never seen you before.
no subject
"DOES IT LOOK LIKE I AM O-ALRIGHT?" Almost stumbled into normal speaking there, "I HAVE HANDS. AND A VOICE." Reimi looked around quickly, and then looked back to John, tears in her eyes, "W-where is Eri?? What is going on??"
no subject
"And... wait, that's not a bad thing! All us humans have hands and voices. Who's Eri?" And cue John realizing this may not be where he was a few minutes ago. "Wait, are we still on the ship? Did you get on here somehow? I don't remember a train being on the ship." And for that matter, where's Jade?

"B-but I'm not a human I'm a Pokemon! My kind-" owow, why did she have a headache, and why couldn't she remember her type, "er, we don't have hands. Not like this! And what do you mean, a ship? We have been on a train the entire time." She looked around, and frowned, "I must have fallen asleep...but it was a different place... whatever is going on?"
