[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???]

[A New Friend]

[As soon as the chains are cut and the tortured-and-tied stranger is let down, they seem remarkably lively as they struggle out of their remaining bindings and just rip the gag out, snapping it in small and slender hands.]

[She stands up quickly, dripping blood, still. She's got extremely long black hair, and is wearing what appears to be the train company uniform, a sharp black suit. And she smiles!]

Wow. Thank goodness you all were here!

Are you all right, miss?

[withpizazz]

I mean, I've been better.

[Are you all right??]

[beleaving]

Are you all right?

[withpizazz]

Things are looking up!

[liarliarliar]

Do you need bandages?

[withpizazz]

Oh, I'm fine. Black doesn't show blood very well, anyway.

[tenebrat]

How and why did you get tied up like that.

[withpizazz]

Ohhh, someone misbehaved, you know? I'm not really cool about it.

[rollwillpowercheck]

That's a very strange position to find yourself in.

[withpizazz]

It's new, right? Like where did he even get the chair?

[redetermined]

[will try to overhear the conversation but he's also going to check all the unconscious people and see if there's anything he can do for them]

[dammitmaonmaon]

They're just . . . sleeping. I dinnae think they're hurt . . .

[rolls off of arias, still a little breathless but grinning at them.]

Zeno did say we'd do it.

[withpizazz]

Zeno did say! I assume.

[runawaystory]

[also listening in rather than talking, since. everyone else seems to have it covered.]

[psychopompous]

[is standing near the door, letting people approach her, but watching with narrowed eyes]

[withpizazz]

[her gaze strays towards him, lingers for a second, then snaps away]

[runawaystory]

[sidles up to him, keeping her voice low]

What do you think?

[Suddenly]

[arsgoetia]

Everyone who has a cell phone—you'll find it abruptly vibrating and letting off a text message sound.

[liarliarliar]

Oh...!

[checking the phone]

Re: [Suddenly]

[redetermined]

[okay, let's check it out]
