Multiple Settings A Dark Box

You shift your weight a bit. It feels like you've been standing here for days, not doing anything, and you're getting a bit restless.
- several days' worth of time

You accidently bump against Co-Captain Gud. You apologise. It gestures that it is not hurt in any way, shape or form, physically, mentally or spiritually, and its and your social standings have not changed the slightest, nor have its opinions of you. You say okay, that's good.

After spacing out for several days...

You rejoice to see that your advertising has succeeded. Except you don't know what you're rejoicing about, because you're a fictional character.

You stop spacing out and see if your inventory access has somehow rebooted. You have no idea what that means. What inventory?

You decide to pick up Mr. Croak, but are unsure if you want to hold him football style. You've never played football before, but you've seen it on TV where people kick around a black-and-white ball into a goal and everyone overreacts whenever anything out of the ordinary happens. You don't really want to kick around your catfrog, so you hold him under your arm like a rugby ball instead. He drops the rook onto the ground. It slowly rolls back towards the car and its gravitational well.

You tell Co-Captain Gud to stay and watch the car. It salutes and returns to the vehicle. You feel like you can trust the mole completely. It will not let any unauthorised personnel touch your stuff.

While holding Mr. Croak - your ever faithful companion - you approach the slightly ajar door that leads out of the room and attempt to kick it open like a boss. It slams shut. The resulting surprise and pain in the foot from kicking a metal door leads to you losing your balance, with a handful of candy leaping out from the dark box, flying across the room, using the car as a gravitational slingshot, then smashing through the train window. The sudden decrease in pressure results in a large amount of the air in the room and four of your traffic cones being sucked through the opening before the nanobots manage to seal the damage.
- 1 handful of candy
- 4 traffic cones

You get back up and open the door with your hand, pulling inwards this time. Exiting the room, stepping around the robot wearing the blue uniform right outside the door, you find yourself in a wide, bluish-grey hallway with doorways embedded on either side of the path. Signs with words written on them hang over the entrances. You read the words. You learn that these entryways lead to a pawnshop, a library, a pet shop, a cafe and a residential home. The one you've just come out of says it's a ground station. The pet shop seems to be closed, judging by the 'Closed' sign and the locked, reinforced blast door. There is a large hole blasted in the middle of the door, however, and mice are streaming out of it and flooding the floor of the train. Several robots are frantically jumping around and trying to herd the animals back into the shop. Mr. Croak wriggles around under your arm, trying to get to the mice.

YOU UNLEASH THE CROAK. He smiles in a way that only a catfrog confronted with a flood of mice could smile, then drops dead onto the floor. The mice instantly scatter, but gradually come back as the cat continues to be dead. Suddenly, he decides to be alive again and, within moments, all the mice are back in the pet shop, trembling with fear. Mr. Croak trots back to you and deposits a shocked motionless, still-living mouse into your pocket.

The robots are grateful for your help and, as the others starts on repairing the door, one of the robots offers to show you around the train.

You feel like you're being woken from a deep sleep. An explosion of possibilites leap forth and smothers you with thier rebirth. You wonder how long it will last this time.
+1 revival

You let them give you the tour. The robot cheerfully begins monotoning about the various components of the train. There's the pawnshop run by the Second Secret Hidden Lord King Prophet of All Life and Death and Quantum and Pawnshops VII, says the robot. He's acting a bit strange lately, so useful advice would be to not approach that place for any reason at all. You act like you're only pretending to nod knowlingly. Here's the cafe, where people from all around the world gather to share their experiences and be nice and gamble and stuff. Just your average cafe. The library is where you can quickly lose yourself in fantastical worlds and wonderous adventures. The pet shop is the best place in the world to get your mice, though it seems to be closed at the moment. The ground station is where you get off to the ground, obviously.

And, lastly, the residential home. Did you know that this is where the Hintmaster Supreme™ sometimes lives? Yes, that Hintmaster. The weird one who plays chess. But this isn't really a home - it just leads to the bridge, where all the controls for the train are. It's locked so you can't go in and mess anything up. Actually, us residents can't get in either. The Hintmaster's hints are just too indecipherable for us to find out how to unlock it. But everything is on autopilot, so there's no need to worry. Still would be good if we could have access to the thing that could save our lives if anything went wrong, though.

You tell them to shove it. The robot shoves the door. Nothing happens.
