The Cookie Jar!! 🔞(🍪🎄🐌🍞)

imagine the story of deltarune told on the infinity train.

kris and susie (and assumedly noelle and berdly, other lightners that make it to the dark world too) are apprehended at turning points in their lives. they arrive in ralsei's train car, the closet car? the lonely prince car? they both have rather large numbers on their hands, maybe in the thousands. and ralsei is ever so eager to help them on their path to self improvement through the train. he knows only the train, he believes the train does its best to help.

lancer, spade king, rouxls kaard, seam, jevil, all of the characters in the card castle dark world become denizens of the card castle car. denizens like seam and jevil know the true nature of the train and their place in this world.

noelle and berdly in the cyber city car wpuld have sizeable numbers on their hands, but noelle's and kris' would grow if somehow the weird route was allowed to fester here. would someone be controlling kris during their journey on the train? perhaps that's why they're here.

spamton, like mt/lake wants so desperately to escape the train but can't because all he's meant to do is stay and help the lightners become better people. or worse people. after all, susie in chapter 1 would be very susceptible to joining the apex. she moves through a manufactured world, less than real, less important than real people, so she could clobber who she wants. escape from responsibility and reality, escape from improvement.

i haven't thought much regarding parallels in chapter 3 and 4, but i can imagine a game show car and a church car. especially for chapter 4... amelia tried so hard to revive alrick on her own, but the dark world can revive someone just like that...
