It has been suggested that if one types words into this box everyone else with a device may have the ability to read and reply. Is this correct? Please forgive me if this is a blatantly obvious question, all of this wonderful future technology is very new to me.

	I'll give you a bit of advice, if it seems mental, or a figment of your imagination, don't blink for too long because it probably isn't and you should move fast. And also, trees won't always save you from running. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	That bit about the trees, are we being literal again or merely figurative? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	_night_watchman 2020-05-05 07:56 am UTC (link)
	Very literal. The first time I did it, I only had time to get 'bloody hell' out of my mouth before something I could not identify started scaling the tree. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I'm no stranger to having people follow me when I scale trees or buildings, but I will keep that in mind. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	_night_watchman 2020-05-05 08:38 am UTC (link)
	Nor am I, but people are easy, it's when you can't identify what's chasing you when it's hard. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	And here I thought I was going to have the chance to relax a while. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	With people you should be fine, while your here. It's elsewhere that I can't promise that sort of safety. But if you have some fellow station people with you, know you'll have someone to fight by your side, should you need it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	derailedatrain 2020-05-05 08:57 am UTC (link)
	Elsewhere? And that is good to know, a good fight every now and again suits me just fine. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	This part will sound unbelievable: There are doors that lead to other worlds outside the station. Currently there is one opened to the Norse God realm called Asgard. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	derailedatrain 2020-05-05 09:15 am UTC (link)
	Right. Of course. That makes perfect sense. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	It will stop sounding ridiculous at some point, I promise (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	derailedatrain 2020-05-05 09:24 am UTC (link)
	Not because it will be less ridiculous, but instead I will eventually give in to the madness and start to see it as routine? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	_night_watchman 2020-05-05 09:33 am UTC (link)
	That seems to be the gist of it, yes. My manners seem to have escaped me, I'm Marian of Knighton. I would like to say it's been a pleasure, but somehow I feel I might have made things more confusing for you, and I cannot take any pleasure in that. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	derailedatrain 2020-05-05 09:39 am UTC (link)
	A pleasure, Sir Jacob Frye. And please don't trouble yourself, I would say you have made some things clearer and I do appreciate that. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	_night_watchman 2020-05-05 09:53 am UTC (link)
	Does that mean you're a Knight? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	derailedatrain 2020-05-05 04:52 pm UTC (link)
	I was knighted by Queen Victoria, though I’d wager the title means something different to you. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	_night_watchman 2020-05-05 11:17 pm UTC (link)
	Well, it was more than a title. Or the ones knighted by King Richard or when my father was Sheriff were. Prince John and Sheriff Vaisey's knights weren't to be trusted. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	derailedatrain 2020-05-05 11:25 pm UTC (link)
	I cannot promise that I am entirely trustworthy, but I can say that I was granted my title for bravery and service to the Queen and the realm. I may not have an armored horse or fight at the bidding of others, but I'm fairly certain I've not done anything to tarnish either notion of the title. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	_night_watchman 2020-05-06 12:36 am UTC (link)
	Well, that is far better than it was given to you because she was appeasing some noble. And armored horses would have been made a liability with the use of black powder. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	derailedatrain 2020-05-06 01:45 am UTC (link)
	I'd like to think so at the very least. And I can confirm it is very better for horses not to be armored where firearms are concerned. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	_night_watchman 2020-05-06 02:15 am UTC (link)
	In all honesty it hampers the horses movements, making it more difficult for them to move quickly should the need arise. Even without the use if firearms. You're better with a horse that trusts you, and you have a bond with. I prefer a bow and arrow myself, and a sword. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	derailedatrain 2020-05-06 02:39 am UTC (link)
	Personally, I am much better off without horses in general, but every so often I do have to borrow a cart or a carriage. I find I prefer the railway, not that luck has been any better with it. I find I prefer blades, but there are occasions when pistols are very handy. Have you had much call to rely upon your bow and your sword here? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Do you have a fear of horses? I've only ever been on a train, so you'll have to excuse my ignorance. Can you travel easier on railways when you're from?

I dislike how they feel in my hands, the lack of actual control of the shot.

I would like to say no, but there have been occasions where we needed to defend ourselves. And I'm not one to sit on my skirts and leave the heroics to the men.

	No, I simply have the worst luck with them, poor creatures. I acquired a train in '68, and lived aboard it for several years as it made a circuit around and through London. It takes a great deal of practice, even I struggle with the larger rifles from time to time. Good on you, Miss Marian, glad to hear it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	_night_watchman 2020-05-06 06:15 am UTC (link)
	You acquired a whole train? I'd rather stick to what I know, what I'm good at. I was outlawed for that sort of mindset though. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
