Tweak says, "HAS ANYONE SEEN MY TAMBOURINE?"

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.

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.

Well aren't you a ray of sunshine? I still think it's better than losing it though, even in those circumstances, I mean you shouldn't have to but...well the human race are a bunch of cunts generally speaking. Oh dear, I can't imagine how horrible all of this must have felt then, I'm yet to find any kind of logic. I quite liked the train, in a weird extremely messed up way, got me away from home at least and I reckon as long as Lex is here I'm okay, which I'm assuming would be the same for you and Sherlock.

Yeah he's really not in the best of moods, so be ready for that.

I'm not usually so doom and gloom, apparently purgatory's taking it's toll, already! Yes, it is better than losing it.

It wasn't good at first, but I was on the train for seven months, so I had plenty of time to get used to it. And yes, once Sherlock showed up, and I calmed down and stopped thinking he was some sort of grief-fuelled hallucination, things were actually pretty good!

Oh, I'm pretty much always ready for that.

	It's okay, I can handle a bit of pessimism. Shit, I was only there a couple I think, which is hardly any time at all really. Maybe things'll get better here, I dunno I just felt happier on the train, it was sort of easier. You'll be fine then. (Reply to this) (Parent)
