Doing that veteran thing...

[inexecution]

Did anyone else notice the train seems to loop back on itself?

[That sudden psychic broadcast is brought to you with a great deal of excitement, because of course it is. For those new Travelers who didn't already get an introduction via Joscelin, welcome to the Psychic network! Confusion is to be expected. It's okay, Souji's got your back.]

And I saw some new faces while I was walking around, so, hello! This is probably confusing, but don't worry. You can ask pretty much anyone here for help, we're used to it by now. I'm Souji, by the way. [Well, one of them, anyway...] Don't worry. This is all perfectly normal. [...ish.]

[Intros and information are all well and good, but Ace has more pressing questions on his mind.]

It's a loop?!

[kamiizumi]

I walked a couple circles, so that sounds about right to me.

I don't think the physics make much sense, but...they usually don't, here.

[knightceties]

Ehhhhhh...but...I walked and walked for a really long time and didn't recognize anything...

[kamiizumi]

It's a pretty long circle, but it loops around eventually.

[But Leo's idea of fun is run drills until he drops, so of course he wouldn't let that stop him.]

[knightceties]

[Ace, for his part, might find the concept of a looping train to be rather boring...if he had any ability to recognize places he's already been. Sadly, his horrible sense of direction doesn't allow for it.]

How long are we talking here? I want to see how this looping works for myself.

[kamiizumi]

At least half an hour, I'd say? Depends how fast you move, though.

[knightceties]

Pretty leisurely, but I've got long legs. And I've definitely been walking for more than half an hour...

Are you sure the train is a loop?

[kamiizumi]

As sure as you can reasonably be about Liminal Space. It likes to change on us, but there's enough repetition to more than allow for a little bit of that.

[inexecution]

A realllly big one!

[Yeah, that's okay. Explanations can happen any time. Big loop trains are clearly a more pressing subject matter]

[knightceties]

Really? Are you sure? I mean, there's no engine yet, but it's a little early to be calling it a loop, isn't it...

[inexecution]

Keep walking!

[knightceties]

I've been walking for a while already...

[inexecution]

Not far enough!

[knightceties]

How long should I keep going? I want to see this looping for myself!

[inexecution]

Until you wind up where you started, of course.

[knightceties]

Let's see... I started in a dining car, and so far I've passed some other dining cars, but none of those were the ones I started out in, I'm sure about that.

[inexecution]

I guess that means you have to keep going.

[knightceties]

I'm going, I'm going... Well, there doesn't seem to be much else to do other than walk or sleep, so I might as well!

[inexecution]

Good luck!
