A groan left her as soon as she woke. She wasn't sure just what had happened after the fight she'd gotten into with some monsters in the dreamscape, but now here she was. Definitely not in Penacony anymore. Not in Veloria, either.

A pause when she heard 'express' and 'Nameless.' She'd been on the Astral Express before.

"I..." Opening her eyes, she looked to the woman. Not someone she recognized. "My name is Cadenza. Who are you?"

ducimusadastra

"Cadenza, my name is Leila. I'm a medic of the Astral Expesss." The halovian woman pulled a chair over and sat down next to the girl, and much less intimidating stance than leaning over her to proceed with a check up on her condition. It was a good thing that she remembered her name, and that she was responding so easily. "Do you remember what happened? I also need to know if you're in pain anywhere."

"I feel like I've heard that before..." The medic paused and hummed for a moment before she finished tying the other woman's bandage with a quick and firm movement. "Well, what sort of strange prophetic dream could have happened to make these injuries on the master thief? Better tell me now so I can be prepared for more to be brought over."

❝I am God’s silliest experiment.❞ —Caelus in a serious tone while laying on the floor of the Express as if the tiles were a snow angel. @starlighttrain//Rip the older Nameless your successor is weird xD & unhinged comedic relief

"I don't doubt it, Caelus." Alain couldn't help but chuckle as he looked down at the young Nameless. Leaning down a bit he offered a hand to pull the other up with. "But Akivili does not judge that, so neither will I. However I do believe there are better places to lay than on the ground. Come, before Leila catches you here and begins to nag."

─「銀狼」─ the HACKER could hear the blaring alarm from another car, even. who set his device to max volume, anyway ? gloved hand plucked the phone from his hand, swiped once, and the noise ceased instantly. silver hues landed on the other, still holding the device in his hand. " it's telling you to take a walk. did you activate a training regime ? it's usually paired with a wristband. " she gestured to the one on his wrist. " you can also tap that to stop it from screaming. want me to turn it off ? "

ducimusadastra

"Take a walk? Training?" He remembers doing no such thing himself. This technology was unfamiliar to him so Alain tried not to change settings in it too much on his own. Though certainly the persistent screeching noise of the alarm and the vibrating from his wristwatch had started at the same time and done wonders to pull him away from the computer. Tapping his wrist band Alain silenced the screeching noise from there too. "Mmm..." There was only one person he could think of currently that would do such a thing to him. He would have to tell Leila that he was perfectly capable of setting his own routine.

With a sigh the nameless shook his head to the question, "No... Can you show me instead? I would like to be able to do it myself should this continue." Heaven forbid this happen again when the hacker weren't here to help. Though continuing to have to rely on the young lady also seemed like a little too much.

I think that something worth note is that Alain and Leila won't usually introduce themself as being from a fleet train specifically, even though that's where they spend most of their time as crew. Other Express Crew of this era also wouldn't identify as being from a fleet or the Name-Train.

Technically, other than the speciality trains, the fleet trains don't have their own names so the name "Astral Express" isn't just for the Name-Train, but rather it's the collective name of the fleet. This means that all of the trains are in fact the Astral Express, and the crew members of the fleet trains are all Astral Express Crew. This little fact is part of why the knowledge of the fleet has been lost to time.

Now the exception is that Leila might sometimes identify of specifically being part of the Medic Train, but that will always come after the Astral Express name. So it'll be something to the effect of "I'm with the Astral Express' Medic Train" as her introduction. Her and Alain both also have a habit of referring to their smaller trains as simply The Express where as the Name-Train is always the Astral Express.

"Woah, woah, woah, easy there." Leila strode toward the young woman who was finally waking up as soon as she noticed. The girl had been brought onto the Express unconscious, and thus turned over to her in the med-bay. It wasn't a particularly unusual thing to happen, to be quite honest. The curious part that the guys who brought her here had kept claiming they didn't know how she got to where they found her right up until Leila finally shooed them out. "You're on the Express, some Nameless found you out cold and brought you here. What's your name?"

" ... That even makes me feel a little better. " Even if she wasn't a Nameless, maybe it's just about the vibe?

"It's an occupational hazard. Not everyone likes it when you start bringing new ideas, challenging the status quo, and generally turning everything on it's head." It's absoutely about the vibe.

Among the Astral Express Fleet there were a few special trains even outside of the Name-Train. These particular fleet trains tended to gather a certain kind of person, which then made them become specialized models locally known among the fleet. The most notable of them was the train referred to as the Medic Train.

While all the trains are equipped with a med-bay type room the Trailblazers of the fleet with healing and medical inclinations got together and turned one of the fleet trains into what was essentially the Express Fleet's moving hospital.

Most of the passenger car rooms on this train were converted into a mix of single person and two person hospital rooms, while a few were converted to office spaces. In fact those involved in the renovation of this train were teased quite a bit by their fellow Crew and their Aeon when it was discovered that they forgot to include bedrooms for themselves, and another car had to be created and attached for that purpose. It also has the standard dining car, a parlor car, storage car, and engine car.

This train tended to follow the Name-Train the most closely as those who staffed it knew well the reckless habits of the Trailblazers. It was also the train which had the highest turn over of passengers, and the most irregular crew numbers as the healers and medics were often coming and going from it.

"Miss Wolf, please help. I do not understand what it wants." He sounds calm enough but Alain looks like he might start crying soon, and in his hands is his phone is making some sort of alarm noise.

Ok, this blog I will actually start off with a starter call rather than a bunch of memes. So, well, you all know the drill. Like this for a starter & comment if you have a preference of Alain or Leila otherwise it's muse roulette. Multi-muses and side blogs please comment with who I'm writing for.

#{ reblogging since i got the original ones done

"The star... Ah, Akivili?" It took the medic a moment to translate the title. She took a moment to look, really look, at her visitor. The other wasn't a Nameless that was for sure, they all simply called their Aeon by THEIR name, but then how did this person get on the train and why were they looking for the aeon? "Sorry you just missed Them. I think they said something about hiding from the conductor for a bit. They ran away when I suggested They help me work in exchange for hiding Them." Well, not that she had actually expected the aeon to help if THEY were trying to lie low from the conductor.
