[Good thing the train hasn't blocked them from phoning a friend.]
Hey Varian, are you on this train?
no subject
[Varian has been a minefield of mental health issues for the vast majority of his life, is he pretty pleased with himself that he WASN'T nabbed by the Therapy Train? You bet! ]
Are you okay? Do you need help with anything?
no subject
Was I... supposed to go to therapy?
[Is this a requirement that she missed? First school, now therapy]
I'm okay, there's no immediate danger. But I might need help, yes.
There's a large machine in this room. I think it is part of the solution on how I get out of here, but I'm not sure how to operate it.
[Please help her, fellow nerd]
no subject
I don't know. Maybe talk to- [No wait, shit, Dante and Vash are on the train. Wolfwood??? Eeeeehhhhh] Well. Bring it up to your family. I can help you find a good one if that's what you end up wanting to do after this. It helped me a whole lot.
[Varian's mountain of issues certainly feel a lot more... manageable these days, and he knows therapy is exactly the reason why that is! But that can be an after-thing, for now, Eve needs his help and this sounds like something he can do.]
Okay, I can see what I can do. Can you turn the video on? Or describe it if not? So I know what it looks like.

...
We'll see.
[But! Moving onto why she called.]
Yes, I can! One moment-
[And the camera feed flicks on to Eve's face. Once she's determined the feed is on, she turns the camera around to face a giant yellow and black machine towering over her. From her angle, there's one rocket booster on the bottom and a GIANT conveyor belt with letters. Barely visible due to her height is a glass cockpit near the top.]
Does this work?
no subject
But that's not important right now- right now he is gonna help his friend solve a puzzle! Varian peers at the screen, taking a look at the machine. ]
Okay, hmmm. Well, the bottom half looks like a giant printing press - and if the room is... is that a crossword? It sounds like you'd need to get the right letter to stamp down onto the right letter. The rocket booster looks like it might hover?
[ INTERESTING. ]
Can you get into the cockpit?
no subject
[But back to the machine]
Yes, the room does have a crossword-like pattern across all surfaces. If that's the case, this mechanism might be the key out of here.
The cockpit is the windowed part near the front, right?
[Hm...] Let me see...
[The lighting goes brighter for a second, and then the sound of flapping wings can be heard as the camera ascends. Eve's flight does give Varian a sweeping view of the contraption as she eventually approaches the top. Maybe he'll notice the entrance before she does.]
no subject
I think so, yeah. It looks like you need to fill in the crossword with it. I have to admit, that's a clever device! I'm a little jealous I can't be there.
[The price he pays for more stable mental health is that he doesn't get to see the cool stuff on Therapy Train. That feels unfair!!
Still, he's watching as she flies around, making an excited noise!]
Wait! Go back a bit to the left! There it is! It's a big swing door!
