⍟ Cassiopeia ⍟

Cassiopeia is a child that has been ill for as long as they remember, confined to their bed most of their life. One night, whilst they dreamt of the Cosmo Express, their imagination and dreams being used to fuel the journey, they found themself unable to wake, stuck aboard the train.

Childhood

Cass didn't get much of a childhood to speak of, stuck to their bed without the strength to move very far from it. For as long as they can remember they have had doctors surrounding them, trying to figure out whatever could be wrong with them. They blamed anybody for their situation, becoming somewhat aggressive but unable to sustain this anger much due to their frailness. They wished they could just escape from this life.

The Cosmo Express

When Cass dreamed of the Cosmo Express one night, their body, unbeknownst to them, fell into a coma. In their dream however, they were simply stuck on the express. Where all the other children exited the train at the station to awake to their normal lives, a strange forcefield stopped them from leaving.
Panic broke out between the staff of the express. This had never happened before, especially Astrophel. Something he had not planned in advance that he was powerless to change on his train. A lot of his effort is trying to figure out how to get Cass home. Until then, Cass resides on the train, trying to decide whether this is better or worse than their life before
