[Game 21] That Night

After everyone has gotten fed and had a chance to learn the basic details of what things are like here, Kieran calls you all together (pretty much because Madison had been trying to work up the steam to do so, so Kieran stepped in instead).

It's dark outside, and a little chill—about 9 or 10PM.

"Okay, guys," Kieran says. "So, Maddy's got enough train tickets for all of us minus two. Maddy's staying behind because of prophecy reasons, and I'm going to stay with him so he's not left alone in this house and also because I'm probably a killswitch for a powerful incubus, aka my boyfriend, showing up if anything happens to me and, by extension, Maddy." He delivers this all in a deadpan. "Anything else, Maddy?"

Maddy looks a little alarmed to be put on the spot, shaking his head and flushing a little. "Er. Not for now. Oh . . . if anything goes. Weird? Please listen to Sariel—he's . . . in charge?" And he hands over an envelope to everyone's favourite psychopomp.

Too bad it's dark out. It's more fun when there's a view.

It's still exciting! Maybe we'll get to take the train back during the day!
runawaystory: (steady on chap)

Maybe. Guess it depends on how our schedule works out.

It does, it does. But Zeno can hope.

I wouldn't mind if things worked out that way, either.
defendless: (you'll find something waiting)

Thank you, thank you. Zeno will keep his fingers crossed.

[dropping her voice a little since there's strangers about, but hopefully Eliza will keep them occupied]

I'm Rosalie, by the way. Figured I should introduce myself since you have.

It's nice to meet you.

[also a little more quietly]

Same.

Have you been on a train before?
runawaystory: HA (reporter at large)

[personal profile] runawaystory 2017-10-07 03:57 am (UTC)(link)
Sure. Used to travel a lot for work.
defendless: (lying upside down)

Zeno is used to travelling a lot, but we don't have anything like this where Zeno's from, so it's all a very different sort of affair.
runawaystory: HA (trust me with your secrets)

Sounds like an interesting place, if maybe inconvenient to get to.
defendless: (when you turn it around)

[personal profile] defendless 2017-10-07 04:06 am (UTC)(link)
Haha, our borders aren't exactly the most open either.
runawaystory: (listening hard)

[personal profile] runawaystory 2017-10-07 04:07 am (UTC)(link)
Oof. Yeah, that makes travel hard.
defendless: (you'll find something waiting)

It does, it does. Well, Zeno's country is a good place, even if it's going through hard times right now.

Sounds like just about every other place. I don't think anywhere doesn't have hard times eventually.

That's true, that's true.

[sits back in her seat and glances out a window herself, not that there's much to see]

Seems like a quiet ride so far.
defendless: (don't you love)

[personal profile] defendless 2017-10-07 04:24 am (UTC)(link)
Mmhm! But not the boring kind of quiet, which is nice.
runawaystory: (wry)

True, there is that.
