Apocrypha Murder On The Solipsism Express Part Ii

AURUM: So, where were we? The title card - Murder on the Solipsism Express. …pretty ominous, don't you think?
AURUM: You're not woken up by screaming, or anything, when you wake up.
AURUM: So, there's that at least. How long as it been since you got any rest? It's hard to keep track of time here.
Clarafina gets up with a two-armed, adorable yawn.
Ezekiel: Hell if I know man.
Ezekiel didn't even know he was asleep! Well, not that he is anymore.
Nine certainly wouldn't have woken up by screaming at this point, anyway. He rubs his eyes, he haven't done a lot of that sleeping thing but it does not bothers him. He is fidgeting with a small white cylindrical device
Nine looks as the others leave their cabins, looks to see if their guest is still around
Eidolon pulls back the cover on his train-cot-sleeping-area-thing. The nothingness continues to whoosh past the open window past his mattress- he shuts the blinds.
AURUM: She doesn't seem to be around. All the windowshades are up, and white void-light streams in.
Solberg stays in bed for a while, awake, but contemplative. They'll get dressed later, when they hear other people shuffling around.
AURUM: Well, all of them, but for the one Eidolon just closed, that is.
Nine just waits silently in the corridor. Waiting… He's used to it
Clarafina peeks out of her cabin for a moment, then shuts it, and changes out of her pajamas. And then she comes out.
Eidolon: "At least we don't roll around in our sleep. I don't think 'endless nothingness' is anyone's current stop."
AURUM: You'd be surprised.
Eidolon hasn't changed, still in what he was wearing before, galaxy coat and star skin. Rollin' out of bed like a psx-era RPG 3d model.
AURUM: Aw yeah.
Nine: "You'd be surprised, Eidolon"
Eidolon: "Around this crew, I would be."
Ezekiel ambles out, still looking a bit out of it and headed towards where most fo the not-actly-people-but-they-have-dialogue-boxes are.
Eidolon: "Since we're all…" Somewhat dramatic turn. "- looking for something."
Nine: "Not incorrect…"
Solberg gets dressed. Slides the door open. Steps forward. Snaps it shut behind them.
Nine looks at Ezekiel leaving "Weren't we going in the other direction?" he points to the obsidian door… in the other direction
Ezekiel: "I mean, you can try it, but it's not gunna open."
Eidolon: "Sure it will." He approaches the obsidian and knocks twice.
AURUM: On cue:
Ezekiel: "Anyway I wanna see if the murder mystery part started yet."
Eidolon: "I get the feeling the murder part is soon."
Nine: "This isn't a murder mystery, Ezekiel. Not in a train called Solpsism Express"
Ezekiel: "man I don't even know what that MEANS but what else would we be doing on a train."
AURUM: The obsidian door opens, Elhaym looking stricken - and as if she's about to shout to wake you up, but then she sees that you're awake, and gasps out: "Y- you have to come quick, something's wrong."
Ezekiel stops, spins around, yawns. "Someone die?"
Eidolon: "Lead the way," he says, a half step behind.
Clarafina: "She said something was wrong, Ezekiel." she says, tagging along.
Nine nods, heading after Elhaym "remain calm, we will help"
Ezekiel: "Haha wow that was cold."
Nine looks at Ezekiel "Solipsism. The fact that nothing beyond one's own mind can truly be known, there is no surety to that which is not within one's own mind"
Solberg follows along. "Fate doesn't take kindly to someone's continued existence if they were supposed to die."
Nine: "Old philosophical thought"
Ezekiel: "Aha."
AURUM: She stops and stares at Ezekiel for a second and doesn't look like she has anything to say, but then her lips go wry. "…I forgot who I was dealing with, for a moment."
AURUM: "It's… a possibility."
Ezekiel tilts his head to the side.
+Solberg: "Was Schrodinger's cat on board?"
AURUM: She actually laughs, a gallows-humour laugh.
Nine: "Come now, let's go. Let's be certain of what is happening"
+Solberg: "I said Schrodinger, not Heisenberg."
Ezekiel: "Okie-dokie."
AURUM: She leads the way, through the obsidian door, into a warren of pipes and catwalks and coloured steam.
AURUM: "…the train's still running, that's a good sign."
Clarafina ducks underneath a low-hanging pipe, holding onto her skirts.
Nine follows after, pocketing the object he was holding "Something, or someone, who powers this train is in adverse condition"
Ezekiel: "The heck kind of a story set on a train would involve one stopping…?"
Nine: "Reminds me of a man named Harlock"
Clarafina giggles: "Come with me and I'll…!"
Nine: "There are certain types of stories set on trains, that involve various stops"
Eidolon: "Easy."
Eidolon: "The story of a derailed train."
AURUM: "I suppose you have a point. It could be running on sheer ontological inertia at this point. Let's not speak -too- loudly."
Nine chuckles "I remember an old animation like that. The Galaxy Express"
Nine: "Either way, let's continue"
Ezekiel: "Trains only derail at the climax yo."
Eidolon: "Oh, how narratively simple."
Clarafina: "A premature…" She frowns. "There's a pun, somewhere."
AURUM: Oh dear.
Ezekiel: "This sure is a long hallway though."
Clarafina: "We could stop for a moment, if you're getting tired."
AURUM: It's not… actually that long, but it sure is windy and circuitous.
Ezekiel: "Naw."
Eidolon ski salom glides around pipes.
Clarafina: "Ah…" She peeks out through a high-up, engine-room window, wiping it off a little with her sleeve. "…I was hoping we could stop." She forges on, regardless.
AURUM: If you stretched it out like a string… I mean, it's isomorphic to a long hallway…
AURUM: …anyways, finally, there's an imposing-looking door.
AURUM: One of those doors with the wheely locks that you have to spin and usually only get opened or closed when someone's not having a great day.
Nine stares up the door. He waits to see if Elhaym will do that
Eidolon: "Ah yes, the vault."
Clarafina spins the wheel and pulls it open - well, I mean, she gets it slightly ajar, then pauses, leaning against it to keep anyone from peeking through.
Clarafina: "Are… we ready?"
+Solberg: "Yes?"
Eidolon: "Why wouldn't you ask before unlocking it?"
AURUM: "So, here we are. I spent about two hours banging on it-" -she smiles widely as Clarafina just up and opens it without so much as a dice roll. "Perfect."
Nine: "It's a blast door, it's open. Too late to ask"
Solberg folds their arms and taps their foot.
Ezekiel: "Kinda a serious door for a train."
Clarafina throws the door open and walks in, arms wide.
Nine closes his eyes "I see, of course. Clearly the 'heroes' had to open the door, I imagine"
Nine follows after Clarafina
AURUM: "That's about the way of it." Inside… a smell like a physical force, a wall of stagnant air, bowling you over.
AURUM: Generations of decay, and puddles of blue-black on the iron floor.
AURUM: Blue-black ink, that is.
Nine enters right behind Clarafina, staring straight ahead. He looks at the ink on the floor, looking for it's source
Ezekiel pulls his shirt up over his nose.
AURUM: Black crystals jut out from the walls at strange angles; they seem like they could be part of the engineworks, or growing on them and choking them, it's impossible to tell.
Eidolon: "This is normal enough, right?" he says, before covering his mouth with a sleeve.
Nine: "Rotten ink, or something like that. This is unusual"
AURUM: In the middle of the room - at the heart of the engine itself, with arms seamlessly sprouting valves and pipes, melting into the engineworks, is an enormous soot-skinned demon's corpse, slumped over the works, with moth-eaten holes in huge leathery wings.
Solberg gingerly steps around some ink. "Evidence of a climax, perhaps?"
AURUM: Elhaym gasps.
Clarafina smiles: "Disgusting!"
AURUM: "No! How- who-"
Eidolon: "(I suppose not.)"
Nine furrows his eyebrows, looks at Clarafina "You mentioned being a healer, a doctor. Or at least studying to become one"
Nine: "Verify if he is truly dead or not"
Clarafina smiles and puts on her gas mask. "…Of course!"
Ezekiel: "IN YOUR FACE, last man on earth!!!
Ezekiel: "I mean uh." Pause. "How awful…?"
Clarafina walks up to the corpse, rolls up the sleeves of her dress, and - squish, splack, shlock - verifies.
+Solberg: "Nine, knowing her, she's liable to hack its neck off to - ."
Nine: "I'm not lieable to do any better"
+Solberg: "Yes. That. By process of, quite literally, elimination."
Eidolon: "Were you… close?" he asks fo Elhaym.
[OOC] Eidolon: *of
AURUM: He's been dead for t h o u s a n d s o f y e a r s .
Clarafina: "Inform the next of kind!"
+Solberg: "Could it have died of old age while we were sleeping?"
Ezekiel: "Wait it's next of kind? I thought it was kin."
Clarafina: "Well… a bit more than kin, a bit less than kind."
Nine comes closer, examining the way the machinery connects to the body. Is it using it as fuel, was it once connected fully? How deep is the integration?
Eidolon: "Looks like an investigation may be in order, Solberg."
AURUM: "We… were." She looks pained, reaching a hand out, pointlessly.
Ezekiel: "Even though you didn't know they'd been dead for thousands of years???"
Solberg unwraps a lollipop - cherry red, spherical. "You were what? Kin?"
Eidolon: "I'm sorry."
Ezekiel: "Actually how did no one noti - actually nevermind no one noticed because everyone else here is dead too NEVERMIND."
Solberg sticks in their mouth and juts the stem out.
Nine: "Cannot be dead if you were never alive. They're just memories, Elhaym and him may well be the only denizens of this train"
+Solberg: "Can you identify the cause of death, Clarafina?"
Ezekiel: "CLEARLY I don't remember what we were doing." Ezekiel nods matter of factly towards Nine.
Ezekiel: "Totally called that guy bein' dead tho."
Clarafina sighs theatrically, as if this was somehow an unbelievably arduous thing to do. And then she gets out a tiny toolkit and does it. She's hoping it gets to toxicology!
AURUM: She stares at Ezekiel, masking an initial reaction deftly behind appalled shock which is quickly replaced with a tired, gentle smile. "You really -would- do well in the Secret Science, you know-"
Ezekiel: "In the what?"
AURUM: The corpse's eyes light up, and one half-rotten leathery wing bats Clarafina away bodily.
Eidolon shakes his head.
AURUM: "-watch out! He has- had- a defense mechanism- in case he ever- in case he was attacked-"
Nine steps back "I see. Let me guess, you are the train itself"
Clarafina picks herself up off the ground and frowns.
Clarafina: "I am attempting to determine how you died."
Clarafina: "Cad."
Nine looks at the machinery around, any clear signs of anything particular coming to life? "
AURUM: Polished obsidian eyeballs chiseled with goetic circles spin in the sockets, and the corpse drools black plasm, which pools on the ground; tiny metal doors open up and disgorge little black animatronic rabbits with metal wire ears.
Eidolon: "Ominously cute."
Ezekiel: "Holy shit."
AURUM: I'm not sure you'd call any of it 'life', though.
Ezekiel: "This is about to get dumb As Fuck."
Eidolon: "My dear, did you have a hand in designing these?" askof of Elhaym.
Ezekiel: "At least turn into a proper robot with a friggen buzzsaw arm and laser eyes man!"
AURUM: "I… believe we've spoken already about my opinion of his aesthetics." She frowns. Speak not ill of the dead, but… damn.
Nine: "(Just an expression for active machinery…)" he furrows his brows
Eidolon: "Oh, well, good, I'll feel less bad about this."
Nine looks at the rabbits, then at the animated corpse "Well, then… If we are to know what has truly transpired, I suppose we must first suppress the defense mechanism?"
AURUM: The corpse-wings flap, tiny pieces of bone and metal slicing their way out of ancient, parched skin, and he straightens; there's a tiny black hole where his heart ought to be.
Ezekiel: "Laaaaaaaaaame."
Nine: "I would suggest caution, either way" he pulls out his book
AURUM: "…well." Elhaym sighs. "…help me sing his requiem?" She chants, the sounds liquid and flowing, gold light surrounding you, protecting you from the worst of the ancient toxins.
Nine: "Certainly"
Eidolon produces a grimoire.
Ezekiel: "You know it like literally JUST NOW occured to me why spells called requim tend to do bonus damage to undead."
Eidolon: "And I will try not to sing off-key."
Solberg extends their baton. "I'll conduct, I suppose."
Clarafina: "Well… welcome to civilization, dear." She nods to Ezekiel.

AURUM: Glasyalabolas moves, to attack, and she just laughs, and shakes her head, and makes a cutting motion - the golden light spreads like kudzu, tendrils, vines.

Solberg starts pulling another black ball from out of Glasyabola's empty heart - [Reverse Vacuum, 30CT]
AURUM: Eidolon, end it!
Eidolon stomps forward, and shoves his hand into the animated corpse, right over where he left his mark. "Sorry old boy. But it was a good row."

+Solberg: "What would we do without your scintillating expertise." Flat. Unimpressed.
AURUM: Elhaym takes a deep, deep breath - just keeps breathing in, tendrils of golden light twisting through the air towards her body, faster and faster until she's absorbed them all in an eye-blink, and all that's left is the hanging golden glow in the air.
AURUM: She breathes out, delightedly, a tiny little golden puff in the air. White void-light streams from windows that are suddenly unclogged by filth.
AURUM: "Ahh. Yes."
AURUM: "Thank you."
AURUM: "You've been very helpful."
