(Day 1: The intros)

Tuck, tuck, tuck! Knocks were heard on the door which woke me up, or scared me off to be more precise. I sat, maybe this is so called alarm of this world. I saw Brenda descending through the stairs at left of me. She came pulled the chair out of the desk and sat at the chair next to my bed. "Morning!" she said yawning, slightly brushing her hands in her hair. "Moring." I said "slept well?" "I...don't know" she replied. "Good morning, guys." Adeline came towards us. "Good morning" we replied together in sync. "may I ask you something, are you a couple?" asked Adeline excitedly. "What...no." replied Brenda instantly as Adeline got a smack on her head by Stella. "Use your brain dumbo, if they were already a goddamn couple, they wouldn't be here in the first place." Stella said while moving towards her bed folding the bedsheets. "I mean we can't be sure the couples are usually are unaware of where they are going when they are with each other." Dante snickered. "But I assumed we clarified we are not." I groaned angrily and why not they were getting on my nerves. "S... sorry bro didn't mean to upset you, I get it" Dante said looking surprised for me being angry. "Uhm alright I think we should be thinking what is going to happen today so let's be calm alright" Brenda said standing behind me. "I'm calm" I replied heading towards my bed. As I turned, I noticed Tristan and Lorenzo giving me 'what a brat' look which I completely chose to ignore. I didn't have much to care about Lorenzo, but this Tristan guy, nope, I know I don't like him.
It had been a long time. Maybe a month... I don't know. All seven of us lived together in the same room. The understanding developed. People were being friends. That's what a human generally do. Finding friends to talk to. One morning, Again, a knock was on the door after so long for the first time. Patrick entered through the door. "So, your first vina here in the outside cosmic universe begin now. I'll guide you guys about your respective fields but before do get freshen up. I'll be back in an hour."
We, that is me along with Brenda and five other new made fellows, were standing in a cabin with Patrick sitting on his chair having sip from his cup of some I-don't-know-what thing. We were in our casuals, earth-like dresses, instead of conductor uniforms. He looked at us and signaled us to take the seats. We sat. "So," Patrick began "You are the conductors. All you must do is being here like good little obedient kids. That's it." Patrick then looked at us with a smile and slowly brought his finger towards the closed blinds of window. He then opened the window exposing the other side and we took a look of outside world. The damn train seemed to be floating in the vacuum of space. The whole freaking dark space with small white dots at distance, even few planets were visible. "It's a jail, but not a total jail. You conductors have this special privilege to interact with this new world. This world is beautiful. The only sad part you will face is living here till eternity but again here lies a lot of beautiful things that even an eternal life cannot make you see whole of the world as objects are created and destroyed simultaneously in this universe at every passing smallest unit of time." He took a break to take another sip from his cup as we shifted our eyes back to the outside world, at the beautiful world. "Now," he continued. "Tomorrow we will be visiting eurota then asephia and then lorara." "Lo- what...? these names are strange" Adeline said complaining. On which Patrick laughed. "Don't worry kiddo. It's your first vina, I mean day, in here so it's alright for you to get confused. It's like a new language. The cosmic language. Don't worry. You will learn that with time. You see, you have a lot of it already, so, no need to rush." Adeline sank in her seat "I'm confused if it was encouraging or depressing." "Take it the way you want little one." Patrick said as he stood taking sips from his cup before keeping it back to the table in front of his seat and moving behind the seat to unveil a board. The board had 3 columns, first one was eurota. "First one is eurota" Patrick begins as I shifted my gaze on board. The image on board was showing a pink planet "this is livi planet or pink planet. This whole planet is covered with pink dust and water. The trees here don't follow any color pattern and are simply random." "A question sir!" Dante said with his hands raised as if we were little kids taking astronomy classes and certainly not in a totally different freaking cosmic goddamn world. "Go ahead." Patrick replied calmly. "Will we receive any astronaut suits or something. I mean the radiation the air and..." "Sorry to interrupt" Patrick said before Dante could complete. "I would like to remind you that you are a part of this cosmic world. Live like it's your fantasy world. Just be careful of few things which might harm you. Cause if you die here, you are prisoners..." "well, while we are talking about it..." Tristan was back with his troublesome personality. "Does that matter, are we not already that." He said it with his eye roll. "Well," said Patrick with a little visible frustration on his face, "allow me to introduce what can happen with you if you die here once we will be on the land of eurota. But trust me, you really don't wanna try it out yourself. Anyways, moving on." He took a breath, "Pearl, please come in." he said it with his body slightly bending towards the door. The door opened for a new person to enter.
