[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???]

[arsgoetia]

If anybody's planning to move to either of the new compartments, discuss here. How are you splitting up? What are you doing with the Strangers?

[playfair]

I think we should look in the other cars for more of the ciphers... Although other people could just do that and bring it back to me if they want.

[SHAMELESSLY,]

[redetermined]

I was thinking of searching the back of the train for more people or clues. I'd be happy to bring the clues back to you.

[playfair]

Yeah, you should!!

[ancestuous]

I'll help search.

[playfair]

Thank you, Kaname~♥

[liarliarliar]

I was gonna go forward, anyone want to come with?

[defendless]

Zeno can.

[like. if you want him along,]

[beleaving]

I'll join you both. Three should be a good number.

[And you are both small.]

[liarliarliar]

I was hoping you would.

[rollwillpowercheck]

I will.

[psychopompous]

[just. with you.]

Re: [Planning]

[beleaving]

Forward or back? [And go forward and back and forward and back and go forward and back.]

I'll go with whoever might need a hand, I'm little help with the mind games.

Re: [Planning]

[beginningofwisdom]

I'm happy to go in either direction.

[aethericbody]

Well. It's probably best to keep anyone who needs to recover or have protection in the compartments we've already opened up and cleared.

[just reaching for the door to compartment #5 to open it out of force of habit]

[beleaving]

[A r i a s.... But the warrior of light doesn't need baby sitting and some of these other people might why do this to him though.]

[monere]

[following obvious final fantasy dude into #5 cuz why not]

Anita, sitting on the floor with the unconscious woman, notices you planning and says tersely, "I don't want to leave my wife, and I'm not sure what good it'll do to haul an unconscious person around. I'd rather stay here unless you think there's a safer place for me to keep her."

Re: [Planning]

[liarliarliar]

I think that's a good idea.

Re: [Planning]

[defendless]

If we find a safer place, Zeno will come back to tell you.

[bowtiedbones]

Um, if normal humans fainted, is the train's engineer fainted?

[liarliarliar]

About to go check on that.

[arsgoetia]

"The engineer's a demon, so probably not," Hale says, arm still around you.

[troublebrewing]

[asking the Strangers]

What would you like to do? Do you want to stay put?

[arsgoetia]

[Anita gives her thoughts]

Hale says, "I'm going with you guys. Forward probably has whoever's speaking over the loudspeaker, but who knows if there's something useful back too. So I'll go wherever you think I can be more useful, but my preference is forward."
