It Was Just One Bad Day

As the two stepped onto the train, Welt had gone towards the piloting area of the train, knowing that's where the current conductor of the vessel was. He didn't need to worry about Ark going anywhere since he was simply looking around the main cabin. stepping through the door, Welt found himself before the main energy source of the train, its smooth humming told him that it was still running perfectly and hadn't sustained damage from the previous attack. 

Taking his eyes off the engine before him, he walked around it and towards the sound of what he could only guess was complaining, and the sound of tools being used. Turning one more corner, he could see quite the small creature using a wrench to tighten up a few screws on a panel in the wall. 

Said small creature was wearing what appeared to a conductors uniform, red and gold in color, and complete with an adorable conductors cap and a pocket watch hanging off the side. The creature itself was mostly black in color with a white belly, the most defining feature being its rather large ears that almost touched the floor. It soon turned to Welt, locking its big blue eyes with the mans brown ones as it spoke. "Oh Welt, your back! Your just in time, I just finished with repairs"

"That's good to hear Pom-Pom" Welt responded, pleased to hear everything was in working order, he didn't doubt the conductors skills for even a second. "Himeko and March 7th recently woke up and should be back soon" Welt told the small conductor, who looked relieved to hear those two were doing already. Welt then grew a more serious expression as he spoke again. "On another note, we have another passenger joining us on our adventures"

"WHAT?!?!" Pom-Pom suddenly shoulder as they dropped the wrench they were holding, which clattered to the ground. "We just had that Stellaron kid join us, so what's the reason for another person to be joining us?!" Pom-Pom was admittedly a little frustrated by the news. It was already enough of a hassle with keeping the crew accommodated, they shouldn't have to do so for more when they had  train to keep running.

Welt could only sigh at the conductors outburst, knowing this was the reaction he would get out of the poor thing. Welt pushed his glasses up as he looked down at Pom-Pom. "I know how you feel about us suddenly getting new crew members, but this one we can't out right refuse" Being told this, they were going to object further before the older man held his hand up. "It's best if you at least hear him out, he can give you the details better than I could. Pease?"

Pom-Pom stood there with a contemplative look on their face. As much as they didn't want to add more members, if what Welt was saying was true, then they really had no choice in the matter. "Ugh! Fine... Where is he?.." They asked rather reluctantly, gesturing for Welt to lead the way.

"Thank you, Pom-Pom. He's just inside the main cabin" Welt was glad that they would hear the Creator God out, a detail he would for said god to hand out. The two soon left the engine room and back into the main cabin, where they saw Ark currently sitting on one of the couches, staring up at the ceiling. "Ark, I'd like you to meet the conductor of the Astral Express"

Ark looked over after hearing Welt's voice, seeing the man himself, as well as the aforementioned conductor. Ark physically did a double take as he quickly shot up, staring at Pom-Pom with shock, and immense curiosity. Seeing the man shoot up from his spot surprised the two, and slightly scared Pom-Pom with the way they were being stared at. 

"Welt" Ark started, startling the two with the rather dark tone he had lacing his voice. The Creator God seemed to blink forward, having swiftly picked the conductor up as his face was gleaming with an excited smile. "Just what in the universe is this adorable creature?!" His excited worlds rang out through the cabin and out into the hanger. He looked like an excited kid looking at a plush, as he spun the poor conductor around, flopped their ears around and poked their cheeks. "I've never seen anything like it! And its about the same size as a HOMU!"
