[OOC] The Midnight Train to Nowhere

[Orpheus]

Writing my post!

Also, now that the battle scenes are done, I'm going to post a lot more frequently. You guys might've noticed that the guide posts disappear during fights, and that's because we were hoping the Lost Souls would be able to do it with teamwork and blood and tears! From the feels and the well-oiled mechanism with how you all took turns to dish out that witch (also these interactions, how precious), looks like we won't have to hold back for the next chapters (probably with the exception of the group containing Toby and Ran)!

Nice post Kimchi :) The feels are feeling good. I'm really looking forward to the rest of this roleplay. I'm glad this was my first because I've stalked so many that start off with great ideas, but the lack of determination and creativity people have in a roleplay of endless possibilities is so sad. Most of the time I see rps dying within the first couple of posts. I hadn't started roleplaying yet. I had a friend introduce me to it and after observing others on and off for a couple of months to familiarize myself, I'm so pleased with joining this roleplay that beat the odds. Congratulations Fox, Orphy, and Kathi. You three are amazing GMs.

Kimchi said Sometimes she'd get the same emotions around Harper, Haku, and even Song.

|DDDD Jasper is our queen

Awww Anon. :0 Yeah, we've joined a lot of really beautiful roleplays that just wither away within a week. Really amazing ones that just make you want to clutch your heart and die from the world offered to you. It's such a huge blow to my heart when those masterpieces die. I think it's because of those experiences that we're a bit aggressive on player attendance, sorry guys OTL

Glad you're enjoying your experience! It's Michi who deserves the love though, I'm basically just the taste tester! But in any case, here's to more fun and happiness and suffering!

[John]

Whoah, so many posts overnight.

All the feels, though.

I took care of much work yesterday, so I hope I could devote my time tonight to completing a post. Heh.

And yes, here's to more suffering.

[Fox of Spades]

Pfft, taste tester, as if. *smacks Kei-chan to the moon*

Both you and Kathi-chan have been an immense help (>w<)/ and I can't thank the two of you enough for all the ideas, collabs, and brainstorming sessions. Planning with you guys has been so much fun and many of the possible routes we have cooked up wouldn't be complete without those chapter discussions and evil ideas route planning.

D'aaww, I'm really glad you've been enjoying the ride so far, Anon. That means a lot, and I'd like to thank all of you for sticking with us. The train wouldn't be the train without each of you, and it wouldn't be chugging along without the time and dedication you guys have given. Seriously, this chapter has just been a joy. You've all been really consistent and just wonderful (^w^)/ so thank you very much.

I'm really excited for the future as well. We've still got seven chapters to go, so let's give this our all and may we reach the good end!

Though I'm fine with the bad and worst end too 8D, just so you know.

To suffering, blood, tears, and avocado shakes!

:P Looking forward to it Four and dang, Jasper is all meek and innocent, but secretly, Kimchi is planning to give her a harem.

[Kimchi]

My lawd. Why is there so much feels guise? 😭

Anyways, a message to all who are playing a male character, get ready to bid💰 and welcome to zeh 🔨Jasper's Heart Auctio- *gets trampled by a herd of llamas*

From the very moment I joined this rp, I had a feeling it was different from the countless ones I had joined in the past that have died even before people could start posting. I always wonder why? I've commited myself to this 100% and have not joined any other roleplays since last year when I spotted The Train's very first Int. Check. I don't blame you guys for the tough reinforcement of rules because without it, I'm not sure where we'd be at now. 👏To you Fox and our bootifool coGMs!

[John]

Fox of Spades said To suffering, blood, tears, and avocado shakes!

oh

And posted! Didn't contribute much to the search, but had Leila say a few things. Feel free to attach to them any connotations you see appropriate.

[Fox of Spades]

Those llamas are cuties :3

And d'awww, you guys are so sweet ;A;! I'm really, really glad you've been enjoying the train ride so far. *Hugs*

Seriously guys, you're all awesome at bringing in the feels.

Leila said “...Soldiers are always okay.”

Leila said These people, though - like dead petals piled near the bottom of a broken flower pot - were to be considered beautiful.

Leila is so adorable, she makes me think of a little kid who believes in fairy tales. Yet, a part of her (like Ace) seems so sad and broken-ish, I don't know why, but I want to pull all of them into a big hug. GROUP HUG NOW!

Oh and guys, I love how the characters have been growing. I wish I still had the old posts so we could look at how much they've changed.

+Jasper is a lot more confident now than she was before, she's really growing into a strong, dependable, and caring person. In the past, challenges and interacting pretty much turned her into a puddle xD but now she's saving lives.

+Leila didn't care about the others in the past and was mostly stuck in her own little world, but now she's warming up to her fellow humans. Seeing her step out of her comfort zone and reach out more, it's really sweet. <3

+Ace is practically their candle. She's helped so many people soldier on and Harper and Jasper obviously admire her bravery. She's also grown protective of the other lost souls and I really love how that's turning out.

+Lesley is treating Inadi less like a love interest and more like a teammate he really holds dear. Plus, he's grown more understanding of Jasper, and like Ace, he's one of the more colorful people who keep them going. He's also grown to be a protector of sorts in the group.

+Inadi used to be a big worrywart who had difficulty accepting things and going with the flow. If I remember right, he was always fretting about things, but now, he's gotten a lot braver and is way more outgoing than he used to be. Seeing him all fired up is fun and he's grown into someone who always has their teammate's backs.

+ The guides: I love how the humans have been kind of starting to doubt them, the dynamics are pretty interesting. Martini, Brandy, and Songbird have done nothing but risk their lives for these humans so I wanna see how this plays out. Plus, I love the relationship between Martini and Lesley, it's just so cute >w<! And Songbird has quite a few fans already ;) *cough* Jasper and Leila *cough*

*Claps* I'm sorry about how psyched I've been lately, but you guys have just been amazinggggg! I can't, just wow. I'm so excited for when Ryver and Thunder hop in. They'll be great additions to the team and I can't wait to see them become a part of this dysfunctional family.

[Kimchi]

*grabs Jasper and charges into the group hug* Ehrmahgersh peepps dah feels doe.

Dang it. I wish the old site didn't crash so we could reread everything once we finished and really see how we've developed 😓😫

MUHAHAHAHA! Ryver and Thunder will have a blast I'm sure 💩😃

[AkiBlue]

Oh, lotta words while I was away. *Reads through*

Aw, I like this RP and all of you potatoes people too! And *throws Ace into the group hugs*
Woo, for character development!

[Anonymous]

Had Lesley have a bipolar break down. Let's see how the guides handle this. *rubs hands together whilst waiting for a plate of info*
Sorry to Martini who had to be the focus of his anger, but an explosion had to happen.

It was the hand

[Thundercat]

I haven't said anything because I can't relate to all these feels ;-; but I really can't wait until I do! <3

[Orpheus]

Michi said Martini, Brandy, and Songbird have done nothing but risk their lives for these humans so I wanna see how this plays out.

Yeah. :c

[Fox of Spades]

Yeah, having our old posts would have been great. I loved how everyone handled their train scenes ;A; now they're lost forever! And Songbird's entrance with his cart, ahaha. Plus that time when Jasper took a bite out of a donut nobody was golden! The elevator inside the beanstalk was fun to write too. OTL, we lost our happy, whimsical moments.

*Mourns* We lost around a 100 + posts.

No worries Thunder, soon enough Toby and Ran will be tortured lovingly :) and you'll understand~! Soon, very soon. AHAHAHA.

Also Anon, love the setup! Because of it we came up with a couple of plans. I'm going to post again with Leon and Haku today. MUG can post whenever, he'll be a tad busy till August 6th-ish, I think, but I hope he'll be able to get a post up before tomorrow :D

The next move-along-posts are going to be collabs so they might take awhile since I think Kathi is kind of busy too, but we'll aim to have 'em up by tomorrow. Kei-chan and Kathi-chan will get a collab up with the guides or they can post individually if they prefer, then I'll follow with a move-along-post/collab with Kei-chan for moving the scene forward. Thanks for giving us a ton of fun stuff to work with guys <3

I hope you're all enjoying the mornight :D!

Edit: Posted, hope you guys don't mind the drama xD! Ehehe, it was pretty fun to write. Feel free to get reaction posts up, just remember that we're putting an end to this scene and ushering them along by tomorrow~

[MUG]

Got my post up there folks. And may I just say since we are all saying it, Fox this is my favorite roleplay I have been a part of as well. That's why I tend to look up all the new roleplays you make on the site. You always make great universes that are easy to get sucked into and join in a hurry. This one is a great example. I joined in as the, what, fourth generation of new character and I never felt like I was struggling to get into the story. Thanks again Fox for making me love roleplaying again like when I was a kid using just a notebook that I passed around with friends. :)

[Fox of Spades]

Oh wow, you guys are too sweet xD

Glad to know we're doing something right :)! Thanks for joining us as well MUG. Enjoy the rest of your vacation with your family.

It looks like all the humans have posted, so after Kei-chan and Kathi-chan get their posts up, I'll get started on that move-along-collab. Won't have it up till tomorrow at earliest though since I just posted today and don't wanna flood you guys with a massive post dump. This isn't a new cycle, so the humans don't have to post again xD but I'll be giving you guys some time to react before ending the scene in case you wanna get some back and forth stuff with the others.

*drops in some music*

[Anonymous]

Wow Fox. For a GM you controlled those humans so well. Muhhahha let the rebellion arise ヽ(｀◇´)/

[Fox of Spades]

Psh, this rebellion is all Lesles' fault. Let's hope Marti doesn't end up crying :C the poor mermaid.

[Anonymous]

Yeah I know. They are friends and now he sees her as a traitor.

Heyah MUG. You should join the rebellion! And Lesles wants to know what Inadi was doing on New Years Eve. 🙏 Why u no put?!

[MUG]

Shoot I must have missed that during my post. Sorry anon. I'll try to see about getting an edit in tomorrow possibly if I can get up early enough. My bad.
