Tweak says, "Somewhere there's a mother"

Hello- ~~is this~~

Is anyone from the Train out there? We got chucked off- was it a lock out? We don't have a totem, or our devices, or- anything, really.

And if this is absolute nonsense to everyone, then that wouldn't be entirely unexpected. It's a long story.

	Yep, there's quite a few of us from good old Thomas. I think this is some sort of train purgatory, before we get sent home. Maybe. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Oh, hello! Thank God, I was starting to worry I was going to get sectioned. Mind you... train purgatory? That sounds bloody ominous. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	All right? Because lots of us being here makes it more normal? After Thomas? Or were you assuming that was part of your mental breakdown as well? It's just a theory, so I wouldn't listen to me too much. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

I wouldn't say it makes it more normal, but at least it's apparently something that happens, rather than just two of us, lost forever. I don't think any of it was a mental breakdown- oh God, that means I've really gone now, doesn't it?! I was more worried that I'd just talked quite casually about the train on a public forum, and no one actually knew what I was talking about- and it really does sound much more ridiculous when you're off the train, you know?

I'm pretty used to things being 'just theories', now. Why? What's wrong with listening to you?

Yeah, I'm almost getting used to it now, I'm starting to wonder where I'll wake up next week. It's amazing what you'll accept as normal, isn't it? When you have real choice. Oh yeah, I suppose when you've not been on a time travelling train it does sound a bit odd now you mention it. I bumped into Cutler the moment I arrived so I've not had to worry too much about that bit.

Yeah the train wasn't big on giving anything away was it? I just don't want to worry you with my theories, I have lots, and some of them are quite contradictory, but Mitchell wants to know what's going on, so I try and offer him alternatives. 'I have no fucking clue and neither does anyone else' doesn't seem to work for him.

It is, people are incredibly adaptable, even to the strangest of situations. It's both amazing and devastating, depending on the circumstances. I think I fluctuate between the two. Yeah- see how quickly we forget that it's meant to be odd? God, and I was one of the firm sceptics when I first arrived!

Certainly not, and I'm not sure that's about to change any time soon. Oh, I'm not easily worried by theories- I'm engaged to Sherlock Holmes, I learned to stop worrying. Well- to an extent. Mitchell is here? Annie's Mitchell? Is Annie here?

It's better than not being able to deal with at all though, isn't it? I'm still aware it was odd, I think I just forget not everyone was there. I think it all depends on where you were before as well, doesn't it? I mean what's a bit of extra weirdness when it comes down to it?

Well that's good, cos I'm doubting any of them are exactly comforting. And congratulations. Yeah Annie's Mitchell, or y'know Mitchell's Mitchell. Annie's not here yet but Mitchell seems pretty sure she'll be turn up at some point.

I suppose so. I was more being really morbid and referring to people's ability to adapt to warzones and concentration camps and so on. I'm a fucking bundle of laughs today, apparently. My life was extremely structured and logical before all this. Well, no- actually, things are better now. I mean, things were better on the train, I'm yet to decide about this place, but- I think it will be fine.

Ah, comfort's overrated, or something. That's good. I mean, maybe not for him, but a familiar face is good.

	I think those other people not from Thomas break that theory a bit. Unless they're here for our entertainment? In which case, I want a word with the person in charge. Still. It's probably better than my Neverland theory in which they got the Lost Boys confused with the eighties classic of the same name, explaining the sizable vampire population.

	Maybe. That would also explain the sizable vampire population. Perhaps it's a matter of levels and we've moved down one since Thomas? I couldn't think of the names of any more suitable islands. "The island Lord of the Flies was set on" didn't quite have the same ring to it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	One down? Bugger, I mean I can't say I wasn't half expecting it. It's probably more fun than heaven anyway, innit? You're losing your touch, Cutler. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Oh? We've yet to explore sufficiently so any advice or hints or information would be most welcome. I have yet to see zombies or lose my memory, so at the moment purgatory has plus points on the train itself. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
