[Game 21] Through The Train

[arsgoetia]

The marbles from each group are inserted into the pupils in each door. The eyes blink, unnervingly, then seal shut. All at once, the lights dim down in each compartment and fade back to quiet darkness . . . though you still see the occasional spark of magic along the windows and edges of the train.

You still have no electricity, and your magic is still dampered.

You can, at least, proceed through, either back or forward along the train. The compartments are arranged in approximately this order:

[#1 - ??? - Open] - [#2 - Sariel's Group] - [#3 - Elluka's Group] - [#4 - Maon's Group] - [#5 - ??? - Open] - [#6 - ???] - [# 7???]

The man who had been in compartment #3 is pacing around nervously, one hand in his pocket, headphones around his neck.

[bowtiedbones]

Hi! Did you get stuck here too?

[arsgoetia]

"Sure did." He glances her over. "Not a big fan."

[bowtiedbones]

Yeah this sucks.

[arsgoetia]

"Scared?"

[bowtiedbones]

Super scared, if I'm being honest.

[arsgoetia]

"Need some good old-fashioned comfort?" He grins, holding an arm out.

[bowtiedbones]

You know what? Yes, actually.

[sure i will hang on a stranger's arm]

[arsgoetia]

He draws her in close. "Well, I got the cure for what ails you."

[bowtiedbones]

[giggling, what a charmer]

I'm Eliza.

[arsgoetia]

"Hale." His brown eyes seem to glitter at you, warm as they reflect the candlelight.

Thanks for helping out.

Re: [Regrouping]

[arsgoetia]

"Sure, if only that was enough to resolve this shit though."

Re: [Regrouping]

[rollwillpowercheck]

Well, we've made it this far. I think the odds aren't bad.

Re: [Regrouping]

[arsgoetia]

"Is this even halfway through the train?" He gestures.

Re: [Regrouping]

[rollwillpowercheck]

I'm not sure. I wasn't paying that much attention when we boarded. But, mm, any other puzzles we find will go faster with a larger group.

Re: [Regrouping]

[arsgoetia]

"True 'nuff," he mutters.

Re: [Regrouping]

[rollwillpowercheck]

I wonder if the people in the other cars are okay.

Re: [Regrouping]

[arsgoetia]

"Me too. Hey, how old are you?"

Re: [Regrouping]

[rollwillpowercheck]

[blinks.]

How old-- um, I'm 20.

Re: [Regrouping]

[arsgoetia]

"Cool. Want to help power me up?"

Re: [Regrouping]

[rollwillpowercheck]

[l-laughs a little, going red]

I mean... all right, keeping in mind both that there are a bunch of people around and that I don't want to end up, like, passing out?

Re: [Regrouping]

[arsgoetia]

"Aw, I'll be gentle." He leans in for a kiss.

Re: [Regrouping]

[rollwillpowercheck]

[kissing a lust demon on a train going to hell while there's an angel hanging around is a good idea, right? right.]

Re: [Regrouping]

[arsgoetia]

He's definitely an incubi, but something feels weird about his aura. He's definitely gulping down a lil of your life force though, and he's one hell of a kisser: firm, a little rough, demanding.
