Traintober 2024: Day 6 - Harmony

Rheneas and the Night Mail:

Rheneas yawned, lulled by the cool evening air. The sun had only just set, leaving only a few bright stars behind as the world slowed for the night. He smiled lazily back at his train, watching with interest as the porters buzzed about, dropping mailbags into his vans. A few passengers boarded the single coach added to Rheneas’ mail run, hoping to make it home to their mountain villages for the night. Murdoch clanked by on the standard gauge lines with a long, slow goods train bound for Tidmouth; the trucks banged together, steel wheels hissing against steel rails. The steady beat of Murdoch’s cylinders slowly retreated into the rapidly approaching gloom, a few more stars making their entrance to the infinite cinema that was the night sky.

The guard waved his green lantern, and Rheneas whistled cheerfully, blinking the drowsiness out of his eyes as his driver opened his regulator. He dug his wheels into the rails and heaved the mail train out of the station. He puffed gently by the sheds, watching with interest as Sir Handel and Duncan argued softly about some trivial thing, keeping quiet so as not to wake Duke – the old engine always pulled the first train in the morning, and needed his sleep. Skarloey winked at Rheneas as he passed by, before interrupting the argument with a comment that left both Sir Handel and Duncan speechless. Peter Sam barely kept himself from cackling with laughter; Ivo Hugh innocently asked Rusty for clarification which Rusty tried to wheedle out of giving. Fred just dozed on.

Duke shot a wink at Rheneas too, grinning knowingly. Rheneas wondered what ol’ Granpuff would do this time to straighten out his youngsters, and hoped that Skarloey would fill him in later.

With the sheds behind them, Rheneas’ driver eased open the regulator and accelerated out into the open countryside. This part of the island was made up of endless moors and distant rolling hills, the great mountains rising on the horizon. Cows snored in their fields, undisturbed by the single train rushing by. Rheneas’ headlamps rocked gently, illuminating the world ahead. A few stray sheep grazed lazily behind their fences on the lineside, only to be spooked by the beat of Rheneas’ cylinders and hurry on back to their barns. A few lonely trees broke up the monotony, leaving long shadows that tattooed themselves onto the moors. Rheneas took a deep breath, and let all the stress of the day fade away as he exhaled. The stars twinkled high above, the ballast vanished under his buffers, and Rheneas was at peace.

Rheneas sped through the first station, continuing on towards the Skarloey lake. There was always few if any letters heading between towns on the line, and many heading out beyond Crovan’s Gate or in from distant towns and cities; why stop more than once at each station? A sack or two filled with letters bound for other stations was hooked by one of the post staff with a shunter’s pole while Rheneas slowed down, the postman then quietly sorting the letters in his van.

Rheneas smiled softly as he got closer and closer to the lake loop. This part of the line was beautiful; it was one of those few spots that always caught Rheneas with just how beautiful it was. The line itself split right as the lake came into view, the trees parting for a moment to give the engines a glimpse of the lake twinkling dreamily in the moonlight. It looked like something out of a fairytale, a hidden gem glistening in the night, reflecting the stars like a great, crystal clear mirror with not even the hint of a wave breaking the illusion. Rheneas always felt as though just seeing the lake was enough to balance something deep inside him – his driver called it ‘finding harmony in nature’, but Rheneas preferred to just think of it as tranquil.

“Very little is needed to make a happy life; it is all within yourself, in your way of thinking,” murmured Rheneas to himself as the train finally began slowing for its first stop. “Did you say something?” asked Rheneas’ driver, poking his head out of the cab. Rheneas smirked to himself, his eyes gazing out over the lake, spotting a single sailboat bobbing by the pier, moored up for the night. “No, driver,” hummed Rheneas. “I’m just happy.”

i think it would be really funny if kokichi ACTUALLY had 10,000 members in DICE and he actually knew and was friends with a lot of famous n’ A list celebrities. and one day shuichis talking about a fucking case or something and he mentions this person he want to interview and talk to and kokichi is just like “oh! yah i know him! he’s part of dice! i can get him to talk to you ya know? if you join dice of course” or kaede is like talking about a famous musician she’s inspired by and he goes “oh my god that’s like my best friend!” and they all think he’s lying

Day 6-Harmony 

Other Stories

Other Days

“Should old acquaintance be forgot

 and never be brought to mind?”

The Scottish twins sang happily as they shunted the Arlesburgh yard. One twin shunted empty ballast hoppers shunted from a pair of sidings to the hoppers even as the other pulled the full hoppers away to assemble into a train at the yard mouth.

“Are they always this…” Swindon trailed off, the Castle class searching for the right word.

“Vocal?” Duck suggested.

“Should old acquaintance be forgot

In the days of auld lang syne”

“Musical.” 

“For auld lang syne, my dear

For auld lang syne.”

Duck snorted, “When they're together and in a good mood. You should hear Thomas on his branchline.”

“We’ll drink a cup of kindness yet

For the sake of auld lang syne.”

Rex spoke up from the little railway’s sidings, “It's July.” He said, “We couldn't be farther from new years.”

“And surely you’ll buy your cup

And surely I’ll buy mine.”

“I think they just like the song,” Bert called amusedly from the top of the hoppers.

“We’ll drink a cup of kindness yet

For the sake of auld lang syne.”

“Or it's the only one they know.” Rec grumbled.

“We two who’ve paddled in the stream

From morning sun ‘till night.”

“They sing it so much  because it annoys him,” Duck whispered to Swindon.

“The seas between us roared and swelled

Since the days of auld lang syne.”

Swindon snorted, “of course.”

“For old acquaintance be forgot

And never brought to mind”

The castle stretched slowly, “at least they harmonize well.”

“Should old acquaintance be forgot

For the sake of auld lang syne?”

“Do they?” Rex snarked. The twins, hearing him, decided to serenade him more closely and pulled alongside the little railway’s sidings.

“For old acquaintance be forgot

And never brought to mind

Should old acquaintance be forgot

In the days of auld lang syne!”

“Oi! off with that will ya!” Rex shouted over them. Instead the twins increased their volume.

“For auld lang syne my dear

For auld lang syne

We’ll drink a cup of kindness yet

For the sake of auld lang syne.”

Rex uttered a curse that was sure to have the Small Controller rinse his mouth with soap later and rolled away towards the sheds to find some quiet.

An AU where Discord is an inanimate force like the tree of harmony. Both of them used to be mobile. The siblings of balance, one of harmony and one of disharmony. Together they were a force that kept the world and it's magic in tune. But one day some force turned harmony into a crystal statue, and without his sister to balance him out Discord went insane. The celestial sisters eventually turning him into stone. Both statues eventually form strange branches and seeds. And every so often five ponies for each statue get chosen to represent harmony and disharmony.

The thing that connects both of the groups of bearers is that there is only one element of magic. All of them are forced to work together, it's an important balancing act.

Optional addition-

Both Discord and Harmony are in the Everfree forest, the forest split in half in a yin yang like shape. In one halfs center is the tree of chaos, the forest surrounding being like the canonical Everfree. The other halfs center having the tree of harmony, the forest surrounding being filled with swirling mist and seemingly only filled with the sparkling trees....until you run into one of the living constellations like the Ursa Majors/Minors.

Danganronpa WLWeek2023 day three: Ultimate Talent Development Plan

So! From my understanding this prompt is like there were no killing games and everyone just went to Hopes Peak’s like normal kids and worked on their talents! So I did Angie helping out with one of Himiko’s magic shows! She’s the best hype woman lol, and Himiko greatly appreciates it

It's always nice seeing Maki and Shuichi be cute together, if you're still looking for prompt ideas~

Shuichi and Maki are an underrated duo. While I obviously love the trio, Saiharu does have my heart ❤️💙
