questions and answers; ASK QUESTIONS HERE

Have a question that you couldn't find an answer to in the information pages? Feel free to ask them here! We'll be doing our best to compile common questions and answers as well as time goes on for quick reference.

character-related questions; Do characters keep any powers/abilities they learned or obtained from the game they were in??

Yes, any abilities/powers that the character gained (and left) their previous game with are accepted here. The only caveat would be if there were world-dependent abilities, i.e. abilities that strictly require some kind of magic source that is unique to that world. If it's something that can be handwaved to generic use, then it's fine.

setting-related questions; If time passes when a character takes the wrong train and visits another world, is time passing back in their canon world?

Nope! The idea is that time IS always passing, BUT a passenger's final destination is both a specific place AND specific time. For example, two people could come from the same place (Tokyo) but one is from 1855 and one is from 2055. They'd each be returned to their specific time points, not to any 'current' timepoint. So overall, it's kind of a Doctor Who/time traveler approach. We will probably work on integrating specific time points into our train announcements to help characters mentally work out this ICly.

Does the station have Internet?

There is technically not internet at the moment. Communication is a closed system that allows for direct messaging (so more of an intranet), but there is no access to websites, servers, etc outside of this system.

Can characters (assuming they have the skills) create additional apps for their phone?

Characters can make apps for their ticket pass, yes! They'll find the language different from any known one, but vaguely familiar in the way programming languages are.

Would the station itself ping as magical to anyone with the ability to sense such things?

It would ping as almost everything at once, but in very low quantities and fleetingly.

What models of trains are at the station?

If you google 'belle epoque train' that will give you the inner and outer aesthetic of the trains that pass through the station! We don't really know the name of the style ourselves... vintage? Tram-esque? Older-looking but well maintained, in any case!

How does room-sharing work? Is it possible to register multiple people to one room? Will only one person have the ability to unlock a room? Also if two people CAN share a room officially, does that mean that they lose their ability to have separate rooms? If A lets B share their room, can B also register another room for themselves elsewhere, or is their registration used up?

Regarding rooms! One person will get registered as primary room owner while other people can be registered as 'guests with access.' This way, a 'guest' can register their own room and their registration is not used up, but they do not have to wait for the owner to let them in.

app-related questions; Is there a time requirement for how long characters need to have been played in a previous game for them to be appable?

There is some flexibility in terms of apping, but we will say in general it's 'within reason' when taking the game's general setting into account. We do not have any strict requirement in terms of how long a character was played in another game, but we do ask that they were at least played briefly. The character in question should have been around long enough to develop some sort of sense in being in another place and interacting with other characters to develop a relationship.

Are characters appable if they were played in a PSL set in another game/universe's setting, but were not actually played in a game?

In order to keep things simple we will be sticking with the rules set in the appable characters section and say that all characters must have been played officially in a game.

Can we app a single character from multiple PGAUs? Like, say, if I played a character in multiple different games before apping them to Staytion, could they retain memories of all the games (with some handwaving that they forgot each game before moving onto the next until arriving at Staytion) instead of having to app all three PGAUs separately?

Yes, you can! We're perfectly fine with a single character having been through multiple games prior to arriving at the Staytion.

I do have a question actually. If characters take a wrong train and realize that time passes the same amount there and in the station, and extrapolate that time is passing in their world while they're in the station... idk, I feel like with my potential characters they could manage to deal with it given their circumstances, but this seems like it could be a problem with some canons if time will be passing while they are stuck in the station. IS time passing?? Or only on incorrect trains

Thanks for the question!

The idea is that time IS always passing, BUT a passenger's final destination is both a specific place AND specific time. For example, two people could come from the same place (Tokyo) but one is from 1855 and one is from 2055. They'd each be returned to their specific time points, not to any 'current' timepoint. So overall, it's kind of a Doctor Who/time traveler approach.

We can work on integrating specific time points into our train announcements to help characters mentally work out this ICly, if this is something that would help players in working with character playability.

COOL BEANS makes sense

How much flexibility is there in terms of the PG/CRAU and the characters having been played before? Like, do they need to have been played for X amount of time at the other games before being appable here (for in-universe rule purposes, for example)? Or what about PSLs that took place in another game/universe's setting, but the characters were not actually ever officially in that game. That kind of thing!

Thank you for the question!

Pardon if I missed it somewhere— it’s stated that “ Powers and abilities will currently remain on during the game.” Does this include any abilities/powers/etc that the character gained while in their previous game? For example, the emotion!magic that one could learn in Empatheias.

Thank you for the question!

Yes, any abilities/powers that the character gained (and left) their previous game with are accepted here. The only caveat would be if there were world-dependent abilities, i.e. abilities that strictly require some kind of magic source that is unique to that world.

1. Does the station have Internet? If yes, can characters continue playing gacha games from their universe or- (I'm sorry)
2. Can characters (assuming they have the skills) create additional apps for their phone?

Thank you for the questions!

1. There is technically not internet at the moment. Communication is a closed system that allows for direct messaging (so more of an intranet), but there is no access to websites, servers, etc outside of this system. So sadly, characters will be missing out on their daily check-ins unless they go world hopping.

2. Characters can make apps for their ticket pass, yes! They'll find the language different from any known one, but vaguely familiar in the way programming languages are.

Can we app a single character from multiple PGAUs? Like, say, if I played Wei Wuxian in three different games before putting him in Staytion, could he retain memories of all three (with some handwaving that he forgot each game before moving onto the next until he was on his way home) instead of me having to app all three PGAUs separately?

i know doubles are allowed but please six mdzs protagonists is a lot

Thank you for the question!

Yes, you can! We're perfectly fine with a single character having been through multiple games prior to arriving at the Staytion.

AWESOME thank you!

BUT WHAT MODELS OF TRAINS ARE AT THE STATION????

(I don't actually know that much about trains OOCly but I do play a train otaku and it would be helpful to at least know for sure if they are old-fashioned or modern)

Thank you for the question!

If you google 'belle epoque train' that will give you the inner and outer aesthetic of the trains that pass through the station! We don't really know the name of the style ourselves... vintage? Tram-esque? Older-looking but well maintained, in any case!

I never actually asked this. I'm sorry I ask so many questions

What happens if you share a room? If keys are first come first serve, registered to someone, is it possible for that person to register additional people to the same room? Or do roomies just not have the ability to unlock a room and have to wait for the owner to let them in..........

And if two people CAN share a room officially, does that mean that they lose their ability to have separate rooms? If A lets B share their room, can B also register another room for themselves elsewhere, or is their registration used up?

Perfect, thank you!!
