Your character wakes up in a neat bedroom in their team carriage, in nondescript underwear. They might be missing their memories, or their special abilities, or they may just feel a little queasy. Next to them is what seems to be a smartphone, which they know how to use even if they never had before, even if they don't know if they have before. On the screen is a simple message:
Welcome aboard the Aurora!
You have been selected by the Star Prince as a potential hero, tasked with saving the universe from Malice. As a passenger I, your Construct and Conductor, will attempt to provide you with quality lodgings and safety. In return, we ask that you join your fellows in making bonds and doing your utmost to bring joy back to the Stars.
Due to the process of restoring your body, you may find some things are missing. We apologise for the inconvenience and hope to return them to you as soon as possible. Thank you for your cooperation.
★ One
Upon investigation, you'll find some basic clothes matching your team's theme in the storage provided in your room. Or, perhaps, you're wandering out of the room still undressed. Either way, downstairs you'll find someone has left a tray of cups of hot tea on the living room table. Drinking it may be simply pleasant, or it may cause you to feel a sudden need to warm up to the others in your carriage -- emotionally or physically. Welcome to the team, newbie!
☆ Two
Shortly after your arrival, you find yourself wrapped up in some monster NPC's Game. You're inside what appears to be a stone temple, with a massive golden scale on one wall. Suddenly, on one side, a heavy metal weight is dropped. As the scales tip out of balance, the floor begins to slowly disappear, brick by brick, ready to drop you -- and whoever is with you -- into an abyss. Your only hope comes in the form of an inscription on the altar:
How much do your secrets weigh?
Every secret you tell causes a weight to fall onto the other side of the scale. The bigger the secret, the bigger the weight. If you can collectively tip the scales, the floor will quit dropping bricks and a door will appear to allow you back to the train. If you can't, you'll fall, seemingly forever, til you pass out. When you wake up you'll find yourself unable to lie.
★ Three
You've been on the Aurora for awhile, but this is new. One morning, you awaken to find yourself in the lounge, rather than your own bed. On your Chain is a screen showing a key, with three unmarked check boxes and a note: you've been locked out of your carriage, and must make a meaningful pact of some sort with three people, on or off your team, to enter. Pinky promises are always encouraged!
☆ Four
Wildcard. Make up your own prompt! Check out the setting and team pages for info on the train. If you have any questions, ask on the q&a page. Otherwise, apps open on January 8! In the meantime you're free to join us on Discord.

[Listen, when people are vague, it's One Of Those Two nine times out of ten.]
'cause I'm not letting you hug my cat if it's bad.

[ right. he did ask if animals would work. hatsuharu let’s out a laugh. ]
It’s not bad, not really. It won’t work on an animal either. It’s only people, thankfully.
no subject
Well, one of the girls might be back soon. Chiharu should be good. [...] Not sure on Meridian. She's a dragon, so I guess it depends what the magic thing considers animal.
Powers are the easiest way to test, though I think it might affect more mundane skills? Anything you're just obviously really good that most people aren't?
no subject
[ what a strange world. ]
I'm good at fighting. I've been training since I was a kid so maybe that?
no subject
Yeah. She's very feathery. She can turn into a mostly human form, but who knows what vague cosmic forces use to determine stuff like that.
That could work. Do some of the motions. [He is Very Good at judging how well someone can fight. Special ops gonna special ops.]
no subject
Huh, that's interesting. [ Odd, but impressive too. He gives a short nod of his head as he will use some of his skills, but they come off as somewhat sloppy. ]
... Hm.
no subject
Bright side, I guess you can hug girls now?
no subject
Be weird to randomly do it though... [ says him. ]

Prt one is what you lost. Part two is how you get it back, nd that's by bonding. Certain tasks meant to connect you to others, like physical affection.
