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.]

[ he might've been told to be careful too but ... it was worth it. ]
Most of them, yeah. Though I guess animals such a snakes aren't in the shape of such.
[ Mithos simply nods at her answer to the summon spirits. Yeah, good idea. As for his expertise-- ]
Light. Lightning and Earth, as well.
no subject
[Oh my god, both of you, stop deriving pleasure from mentally tormenting Yuan. Even if he probably deserves it. A little.]
Ehehe, now that's just a failure of imagination. A snake is just a very long potato!
[As for his specialty, she... well, for lack of a better term, lights up. She hadn't even considered light as an element.]
Light? What kinds of things can you do with that? It sounds pretty...
no subject
[ but mentally tormenting yuan is!! so much fun!! and if you ask mithos is totally deserves it. ]
Oh! Haha, I guess you're right! So ... a bird would be a potato with wings?
[ what even is this conversation ... ]
Hmm.. well, many light spells are kinda pretty, if you look at 'em that way. It depends on the spell, though. Some of them are rays of light, while other spells are more ... bursts of lights.
no subject
[That's just logic, Mithos!!]
Yes! And a triangle up top, for the beak. And a squirrel is... a curvy potato?
[It's beautiful, that's what it is.]
Both of those sound, at least, fascinating to watch. I hadn't even thought light could be an element.
no subject
[ Admittedly it's annoying that him and his sister are ... a thing. But it's funny seeing what happens when his sister enters the picture. ]
Hmm... Has to be, with its tail. And I suppose this would make fish simply underwater potatoes.
[ The whole world is just now filled with potatoes excellent ]
Dark is an element too, being the opposite of light. But it's the one element I don't know any spells for.
no subject
[If only she could someday have such power.]
Yes. And whales, the largest potatoes of all.
[These two are so worryingly on the same wavelength.]
That makes sense... and, in a way, so does that last part. Darkness... doesn't really seem to suit you, you know?
no subject
[ And not.... just because Mithos would fight whoever tries..... ]
Heheh. With bugs being the smallest potatoes of all?
[ It's so cute and yet so worrying how did it get here ]
Ah, really? I never really thought about why...
no subject
[♥ But hey, at least she's respecting Martel properly!]
Indeed~! Ehe, there are actually bugs known as potato beetles. I think because they eat the potato crops, but even so... the idea of tiny little potatoes with beetle legs sounds kind of adorable, doesn't it?
[One day we'll look back on this thread and wonder how things got so far out of hand.]
I don't know quite how to describe it... you just have this sort of lightness about you. While not always the case, it is easy to associate dark with the forces of evil, and it is hard to imagine you among them.
[About that.]
no subject
Well, that one companion happens to be her fiancée, to be fair. I don't know what she sees in him, but as long as he never hurts her, then I'll accept it.
[ Gotta follow her wishes ... ]
Really? I don't believe we have those sort of bugs back where I'm from. I've never heard of them. But you're right, it does! Do you think they'd be cuter than ehm... potatoes with little butterfly wings?
[ We'll be eating potatoes and just remind ourselves of this thread and question... 'why' ]
Ah ... [ He blushes a little at that ] T-Thank you, Ris. I've ... never been told such. Though, if anyone truly has a lightness about them it's my sister.
[ jfc that... video ....... ]
no subject
[Wishful thinking, Yuan's a grump forever.
The idea of potatoes with little butterfly wings, though, earns a delighted little gasp from Ris.]
Oh no... I hadn't even considered! That's too cute for words...!
[It's true...]
Ehehe... nothing to thank me for. Merely the truth, as I see it. [She's blushing a little, too, though.] But... well, such things would run in the family, wouldn't they? I believe it.
no subject
[ Forever a grump and Mithos will forever talk shit about him.
That aside though Mithos laughs lightly at her reaction. ]
I think we might have found a winner to cutest potato!
[ Very ... true ... ]
Hmm. I wonder if that is truly the case. [ Still though ] When you look at my sister and myself we don't look very much alike.
no subject
[Poor, poor Yuan.]
We just may have!
[She's so excited about this. She... really does like cute things, doesn't she?]
Hm~? There has to be some similarity, I'm sure. There are plenty of tiny details in a faces and bodies, there's probably plenty you're not even thinking of!
