[ Sora's got no idea what's going on, how he's here, who the clownductor is, or... anything else, really, but he does somehow still have his Gummiphone. This is a long shot, he knows it is, but he still has to try.

The first thing that comes through is a selfie of him against the backdrop of the dinosaur car. Thankfully, there don't seem to be any velociraptors in the background ready to jump scare him. ]

Hey, can anyone see this message? Riku? Kairi? Donald and Goofy?

[ "The railroad of self-improvement," the message said. The number on the palm of his hand has to go down to zero. Will that allow him to return again? To exist, again? (Is that why the train is called the 'Existential Express'?) ]

This isn't like any train I've ever seen. There's dinosaurs here! Wish you guys could see it too.

Maybe this is a Reaper's Game. Maybe I can find Neku!

[ Now he's just kind of live-blogging, not aware that anyone's getting these messages. Technology? Not his strong suit. ]

Hello! Yes, I can see your message. Unfortunately, I'm not any of those people.

( he assumes they're probably friends of whoever this is, so. it must be nice to have so many... )

My name is Ralsei! Also what do you mean, dinosaurs? And a Reaper's Game???

Oh! It's okay. I didn't actually think anyone would respond, so this is great!

[ Maybe. Maybe not. It's probably not a good thing that other people are here, but Sora's going to be drawn to them either way. ]

Nice to meet you, Ralsei. Well, sort of meet you. I'm Sora.

Are you somewhere with giant creatures with scales and feathers and stuff? Those are dinosaurs!

Edited 2021-10-18 20:07 (UTC)

Sora! What a nice name... I'm glad that I've exceeded your expectations! Dinosaurs? I think so! I've come across a baby one, and it seems to think that I could be a good mother! It'd be nice if it didn't try to eat my hat... Is it safe where you are?

Oh! A baby dinosaur sounds so cute. But what happened to its real mom?

I don't know about safe, but it seems okay so far. I think so long as we stay out of the way of the big guys, we should be all right.

Mmm, I think she must be around here somewhere. The last thing I want them to think is that I'm some kind of snack! They're awfully big, but I wonder if they'd listen to us if we asked them a few questions?

[god this kid's not even medieval WHAT'S HIS EXCUSE?]

Don't send your face to every person in existence

No one asked to see it

Huh? I sent it to every person in existence?

[ That's not literal, is it.......... ]

Wait, who are you?

That's what posting to the network does.

It doesn't matter, I don't want to talk to you.

Oh! A network. I've heard of those before.

[ That's literally all he knows. Ienzo and Pence said stuff about them, but Sora hadn't understood a word. He's an islander bumpkin, leave him alone. ]

Hey! You don't have to be rude. Why'd you respond, then?

What do you mean you've "heard of it"? You're wearing modern clothes, you don't get to pretend you don't know anything.

I answered because there's always some idiot from a time before electricity messing things up on their phone. If no one tells them they're just going to keep making an ass of themselves

question

is your friend's name actually goofy or do you just them that

if it's the latter do they know that you call them goofy

Edited 2021-10-19 15:34 (UTC)

What? No! That's his name.

Which I guess seems kind of weird, but it fits him well. In the best way!

okay just checking

it would be sort of a mean trick to play on someone is all i'm saying but i suppose i will trust that you're not that kind of person

I'm definitely not! Promise. Teasing a good friend is one thing, but name-calling is over the line if you're being mean about it.

Is your name Wheatley?

yes that's me wheatley

you're new here huh

how are you liking it so far

You don't seem all that surprised to be here.

[ It seems like a harmless observation, but Sora ends up staring at his phone for a good long while figuring out how to respond. He didn't expect to be here exactly. Or anywhere, really. He thought he'd fade away, his heart scattered, a non-existence far beyond what any Nobody experienced. ]

Before I came here, I knew I'd be ending up somewhere far from home. I didn't know I'd be on this train specifically, though!

Is it really a train? All I see is a landscape filled with dinosaurs. Not very much like the trains I know!

Yes, it is a rather unusual situation. The world you see is located inside a train car. Once we complete the objective you will see the space between cars as we move to the next one.

I couldn't begin to tell you how it works, however. The technology is far beyond me, if that is even what it is.

Yeah, it is pretty strange!

[ Could they be in some kind of datascape? A Sleeping World? Yet somehow Sora has to figure that wherever he's ended up this time, it's nothing like the places he's been before. ]

What is the objective, anyway?

[ All he saw was a weird video? ]

When I discover it, you will be the first to know.

[ that's a lie, it'll be Anakin, but Sora doesn't need to know that ]

It's rather difficult to get a read on these creatures when half of them seem intent on eating us and the rest hardly notice us under foot.

more people seem to be filtering in now between cars. lucky you weren't here for the last one, kid.

you got a physical description of your friends?

What was the last one?

Oh, sure! Riku's pretty tall, he has silver hair and eyes that are kind of turquoise. Kairi's got red hair that's shorter and blue eyes. She'll be a little more friendly than Riku, probably.

Donald and Goofy are hard to miss. Donald's a duck and Goofy's a dog, but they both stand on two feet and talk and stuff! Donald will probably be grumbling about something.

Does that help?

some gothic horror maelstrom of fungal infection and murdered mayors. i'm told that's not typical.

more bipedal talking animals. that was in the last car too. didn't see any ducks or dogs though. i'll keep an eye out. donald sounds relatable.

[ That's a lot of words. Give him a second. ]

That sounds like a big mess. What happened with the mayor?

[ He's picturing the Halloween Town mayor, which is probably not the right vibe, but it's all he has to draw on. ]

Thanks! I don't think they're actually going to show up here, but just in case. Are you grumpy too? :)

you see a message on your phone, something about mayor chadsef? that's what that's all about. each car seems to have an objective. last one wasn't so clear but we figured it out in the end, for better or worse. ...don't worry about it.

if donald willingly keeps company like yours around, yeah sure.
