WEEK 1
[The train wouldn't stop. Not until very early the next morning. The few who might have been awake would be able to exit the train, entering the cool twilight of the dawn. The star is dark, and few stars can be seen in the sky as a cold breeze begins to blow from the mountain beyond. You can see some chunks of rock floating idly nearby, far away from the station that it won't hit trains, but near enough that one can see they are larger than the train they just disembarked.
Lastly, laid out in front of them, the first port of call: Menahoven. The mountain: The Throat of the World.
But which world? Who knows. Not any of yours. Maybe it doesn't matter. Not when you are so far from home. Not when you have no way to get off this rock without the aid of the trains-and they will not let you pass.
It looks like you're stuck here until the Conductor decides to leave. In the meantime, everyone will need to get comfortable.
There are fifteen strangers left in this place.]

[That sounds more like a title than a name from Proto's perspective. Maybe things are different where RGB is from.]
Does she enjoy exploring the unknown or something like that?
no subject
Oh yes. She asks so many questions that I could hardly begin to answer all of them if I were so inclined. Not that I need to; she's very good at coming to the correct conclusion herself if given a little nudge in the right direction.
[There's a slight trickle of green and blue from his mouth, the crooked smile it forms almost soft.]
no subject
Huh. She almost reminds me of--someone I know.
[Don't worry, RGB. Your secret is safe with Proto. As far as anyone else here is concerned, neither of them would know emotional attachment if it bit them.]
It's always rewarding to watch them get it right, isn't it?
no subject
Mm. I daresay that she may have the most potential of any hero so far.
no subject
Oh, so she's not the first to inherit that... title?
no subject
The telly head quiets for a moment, staring pointedly at the pyramid.]
...There were others, yes.
['But I hope she will be the last,' remains unvoiced, though perhaps palpable in his posture.]
