[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???]

So, you've freed a demon named Paz. Your phones are back (ish). Madison is back in the Servants' heads again. And you have a bunch of clues leading to solve a puzzle to let you in through a gold-marked door.

Everyone has been scooped up or herded into Compartment #6. At which point . . .

So, I think we all need to be honest with each other. I'll tell you why I'm here, if you tell me what you know about Michael, and who sent you here.

And then maybe we can just go kill someone together!

He's an angel or something and our friend bought us train tickets because they felt like they had to, and also that something bad was gonna happen, and now we are here. [ sparknotes version ]

Ah, it says "the world's retribution", and the key is "war" and it's a Keyed Caesarian shift at a shift of 12, I figured it out—

—Who are you??

I'm afraid I can't be very enlightening on this Michael, but I do admire your enthusiasm.

Just 'someone'?

Your name can be translated to Peace in a bunch of Romance languages.

Hale just sort of hangs back, hands in his pockets, scanning the crowd.
