Exactly! Well, we mostly take in kids and teens, you know. A lot of the adults on the train just aren't trustworthy, or are too controlling. So we make sure the younger passengers know the truth about the train and how it works and get the best of it. It can be hard surviving on your own sometimes.
Sounds like a pretty big job! So you guys are kinda like caretakers, then? Making sure everyone gets settled and all that. Since you've seen the conductor yourself too, you probably have a really good idea of how it all works, yeah?
[A little nod. Yeah, sure, MAKES SENSE TO HIM. Magic train logic...]
Oh, I wasn't the first ever. Obviously, the conductor's human. But no one else has been on the train this long. If your number reaches zero, you vanish from the train. It's actually pretty messed up to witness.
No one knows, but it's been spreading lies all over the train ever since it took over, giving videos to all the new passengers. That's never happened before.
What? No. Why Cast Away? [ shakes her head ] No. It's an introduction videos calling itself the conductor and telling new people to get their numbers down. That it's a good thing. It doesn't explain why or anything.
Right? Even worse, it's been targeting us and moving cars we were in and sending them to the back of the train. Cars don't move when there are passengers in them normally, because it's super dangerous, but it keeps happening recently.
I'm gonna be so pissed if I wasted five weeks up here in space trying not to die and eating space fries if I don't get anything good out of it by the end.

Wow though that??? Sounds pretty dire?? He blinks, head canting to the side.]
Where do you go when you vanish? Do you die...? Or do you just go back to living life outside of the train?
no subject
No one knows for sure. But recently, an awful little robot replaced the true conductor and is trying to get rid of all humans on the train.
no subject
Woah... Where'd it come from? Why's it trying to get rid of you guys? Does it want the train all to itself or something?

What kinda videos is it handing out? Like, Cast Away?
[Why is it always Cast Away.]

[RAISING HIS HANDS but then nodding along as she explains...]
Oh, wow. So it basically just goes around telling people to clear out without saying, like, hey! You might die! That's messed up.

[A NOD. Hell yeah, Greed. 10/10, this is why he likes them so much.]
That's great, then. Working with no limit just means there's way more room to get everything done that you need to get done, huh?

If no one else sticks around, we might as well just junk this place anyway. It's bad news.
