Trans Megathread for the Week of 2024-10-07 to 2024-10-13 - ETR 600

The ETR 600 is a class of trains built by Alstom, and are used on the routes between Roma-Bolzano and Roma-Trieste. The train tilts, using Pendolino technology, allowing higher speeds to be maintained through corners without causing discomfort to passengers. The trains are operated by Trenitalia, originally under the Frecciargento (Silver Arrow) branding used for trains capable of travelling between 250 km/h and 285 km/h, In 2022 they were rebranded under Frecciarossa (Red Arrow) after the Frecciargento branding was retired.

The ETR 600 has also been adapted for use in China as the China Railway CRH5 Hexie. Initially 60 sets were ordered, of which nine were manufactured by Alstom and 51 by CNR Changchun Railway Vehicles. Since, another 80 sets have been created for a total of 140, operating across China's north from Beijing to Ürümqi.

Swamp Monster

Dream Demon

Vampire

Please leave your answers below, thank you!

so far we have 6 vampires, 1 poltergeist, 6 dream demon and 2 spider

as the quiz holder i will add my vote for dream demon too
- vampire. idc what the vampire is in relation to me, the answer is vampire
  
  Noted, thank you for your participation.
  
  Have you played Wayhaven yet?
  
  I uhhh..... a thing came up while you guys were all talking about it...., and then I just forgot
  
  It is the premier vampire dating simulator I'm sure @ashinadash@hexbear.net would agree
  
  I need to play more of it so I can kiss Ava. I have been sidetracked with grim disgusting horror novel, is all
  
  Now that you're here would you like to answer my quiz?
  
  Lfg nerd
- vampire, regardless of whether it is be one, get eaten by, or whatever else. but at heart i am kitty
  
  Thank you for you participation, comrade.
- sasquatch
  
  godzilla
  
  king kong
  
  loch ness
  
  goblin
  
  ghoul
  
  zombie with no conscience
  
  whom amongst us wouldnt want to fuck the sasquatch?
  
  Mothman enjoyers
  
  Goblin for obvious reasons but zombie or ghoul. I would have suggested a lich, kobold or banshee too
  
  i'll pass your feedback to jay z
- If dream demon is willing to bite me then dream demon
  
  a woman after my own heart thank you for you participation, comrade
- Vampire, although I'm sure poltergeists are not without merit.
  
  I will count that as both, thank you cutie
- Probably Vampire but I'm sort of tempted toward spider, too, hmmmm... I'm a fan of swamp monsters too but the wetness, sensory considerations.
  
  I'm going to need to push you towards two choices at the very least
  
  Swamp monsters are not making the cut :3
  
  Spider and Vampire then, thank you for you participation, comrade
- i love the concept of a dream demon with a physical body made manifest by my perception of it. if i can have that, dream demon. if not i think i would make a good thrall
  
  Oooh an original choice, very nice. thank you for you participation, comrade
- ok, so, say I'm a vampire. wouldn't it make sense, then, for me to have a lil dream demon buddy? they'd be sitting in their lil jar on the shelf through the daylight hours & i'd set them free to roam the countryside come nightfall :3
  
  Ah very nice! A little dream demon buddy is inspired, thank you for you participation, comrade
  
  glad to be of service, friend
- I don't know what a dream demon is but it sounds cool so I'm going with that
  
  From my understanding it's like a sleep paralysis demon type deal, except they actually have a chat with you anyway, thank you for your answer, comrade
- There's a reason everyone's saying Vampire, and I'm joining them. I want to be the kind that can fly, though.
  
  fang gang comin thru
  
  Join the rest of us basic bitches why dont you? thank you for you participation, comrade
- Seeing as we have been watching the nightmare on elm street series this week I'll go with dream demon. Vampire is too generic and a second choice would be spider
  
  Ah, you have declared war on 95% of this thread. Thank you for your sacrifice _and _{participation}
  
  I just think basic vampire but I demand a little more if it is supposed to be scary
  
  Wife has a point, "person who bites you and likes your blood" exists IRL, dream demons and spiders not as much...
  
  "person who bites you and likes your blood" exists IRL
  
  _yea
- choose in what capacity?
  
  now that would be telling
  
  I don't think I can make such a choice
  
  As the Telltale games liked to tell us "Silence is a valid option"
- Swamp monster, a setting I've had some ideas about for a book or video game is to try and create 'swamppunk'. not high tech per say but a kind of aesthetic around swamps and all their rad ecosystems and mythology
