Not sure if this has been asked already but oh well. How do overhauls and repairs work for the engines?
Well, Lady granted the engines (even the diesels) the ability to shift their bodies. Beast forms and normal forms. In their normal forms, they get their wheel and undercarriage privileges back and can be repaired or overhauled as normal, though the engine may hiss if a worker pokes too much at their sore areas, or even places where there are scars.
For example; Skarloey doesn't mind pets, but gets increasingly anxious and agitated if workers poke his face too much, since he's got a nasty scar in that area. Same for Salty if he's in his beast form, since he's got a really bad bite scar on his leg. It's just a miracle he didn't get it amputated.
The normal forms are the very closest the engines can get to their pre-infection states. The most normal they can get is make their teeth flat, but their canines are a bit bigger, longer and sharper. Their eyes are a lot less yellow and more white. Same goes for the diesels.
And she’s done! Meet our forest guardian goddess, Lady! she’s the one who has given life to our forest guardian friends and will do anything to protect them, she focuses more on those below the mountain
(this will be my last post for a week as I’m off to Greece for a holiday :3)
I plugged in Thomas the Tank Engine characters into the Hunger Games Simulator. Here's how it went.
To begin, here's the tribute lineup! Unfortunately, the program wouldn't take any of the image urls I tried to enter so we're just gonna have to use our imaginations.
The horn has sounded! What is everyone's first move?
Oof! Looks like we've already got 2(3?) eliminations folks! Say goodbye to Bertie, Annie, and (probably) Duck.
Honestly Bill stealing from Boco is very on brand for him. XD
Damn. We lost a lot of Steam Team members this round. And it's only the first day. *sad salute*
Here's who we have left after only just one day. The "Magic Railroad" duo really be out for blood.
First night, here we go!
Damn, I guess Henrietta and Percy couldn't take it anymore. Sad. :(
Status Check:
Continuing into Night 2.
GODAMN BILL KILLED HIS OWN BROTHER!!!
Day 3 Status Check. I'm placing my bet right now, I think Bill is going to win. It would be the funniest and most in-character thing for him to do:
Bill is out for blood. We're also down to our last Steam Team member.
Day 4 Status Check. Bill has officially surpassed Diesel 10 for most kills.
The engines who have killed have now killed the one engine who HASN'T committed a murder.
NOOOO! BILL I WAS ROOTING FOR YOU!
We are now down to our last three tributes.
The tension is brewing.
And in an unexpected turn of events, Diesel 10 throws the game.
AND THE WINNER IS DOUGLAS!!!
CONGRATULATIONS DOUGLAS STANS! YOUR BOY HAS WON THE GAMES!
And here are the final placements for the Thomas and Friends Hunger Games.
a few days ago, I revived my years old hyperfixation. so what better way to keep it in memory than to make an AU based on it with my current special interest <-- has happened several times before
I present to you all: ttte atla AU! set in an era (or rather alternate universe) where the hundred year war didn't happen, the air nomads are still around, and the main conflict -- though it still came from the same source which is the fire nation -- is different now; which is a crazed nonbender scientist from the fire nation with a strong dislike for bending arts and having his own army of technology-boosted soldiers
