"Great! Thanks for that, mates." And he'll save what he has, keeping his SCA on transcription mode and making a new note before dropping his hands to the side. He hopes this will work, as he really wants to record as much of this interview as he can. "So I suppose you want me to start at my first arrival on the platform, then?"
Without waiting for an affirmative response, Zagreus keeps talking, treating this like just another briefing that Thanatos or Hypnos might give his father. Just stick to the basic facts as much as possible, don't editorialize. "I was brought on to the platform in the month of Jelly, if I remember right, somewhere in the middle. I knew one person from home, so thankfully I adjusted to life on the Train faster than I might've otherwise. Then something happened on the train that caused a lot of us to... grow younger, for a bit? I'm not quite sure what happened, whether that was the Train's doing, or something else."
"Then we arrived on the world of Erda in the month of Kazoo, somewhere around the 5th or 6th, I believe. I followed the Red Team to fight the demon armies and destroy their summoning gates, to save the people living in the last settlement there. When we completed that, we were sent to this... not quite a world, I think it was defined as a nexus? Anyway, it was called Tshering, and we got to send messages through the Endless River. That was it for Kazoo, I think."
"Then Llama came, and we were sent to the city of Kamakan, to investigate some weird happenings affecting the people that lived there. It was different kinds of illusions, some affecting the streets people were walking on, some creating monsters from the imaginations and memories of people, some making others look like people you know. It was after this mission that we were sent to another nexus-place to train with an order of monks, and make ourselves stronger against illusions. There we made pendants to protect ourselves - which I would like to have back when this is done, by the way, it's proven really useful on our travels."
"Next we went to a place called Jinnjar City at the start of Merriment, and the illusions... still hit most of us pretty hard. It made us think we were different people, with different lives and different families, memories, that sort of thing. Apparently the real Diagad that Jinnjar City was on was destroyed, and the Entity running it all - called Chaos by most of us, I believe, though I know another Chaos from home so that's a bit confusing - blamed us for it. We rescued as many people as we could, and apparently Voidy thought we did such a good job that it next sent us to a place called Aquafir, to have a little vacation of sorts. Nothing really of note happened there, other than I got to swim in a lake for the first time in my whole life. And I saw a forest, too, for the first time! Not one covered in snow, I mean."
"And now we're in Nebula. Before we came here, we were sent to a place called the Salis archipelago, to help the Salis people with their terrible bird problem. And these were awful birds, just terrible. Made the magic in the air all unpredictable, made most of us lose our powers from our home worlds, myself included. That was not a pleasant experience, especially not when my powers literally keep me from dying. Felt like I had a cold the whole time I was there. That's a thing people die of, right? Colds?"
"Anyway, I believe that's everything. Any follow up questions, or am I good to head back to my crew?"
