Of Zombies and Other Things
Characters: Lily, open
When: Saturday night
Location: Indoor observation car
Warnings/Rating: None anticipated
Summary: Lily watches the darkness and wonders if the rest of the stops are going to be like this
Status: Open, ongoing
Lily hadn't been impressed with Jaime's adventure, and she knew Ray wasn't, either. Yes, she'd come back alive, but what if she hadn't? Did the train remove people's names if they were dead? Would they have known, or simply assumed she'd been sent back as so many others had been? It didn't bear thinking about, really. She knew Jaime felt miserable about it, but honestly, it had been foolish. Still, she'd left the yelling to Ray, because it never did any good to beat a dead horse. Besides, it would mean more coming from him. She loved Jaime, of course, but not nearly the same way Ray did. With little else to do, and no desire to venture into zombies in the dark, Lily retreated to the closed observation car. She settled into a chair, gazing out into the darkness. The occasional sound of spurts of gunfire reached the train, even through the closed windows. Sometimes she even saw the bright flashes from the muzzles of the bigger guns. She could see shapes in the darkness, and she wondered if they were zombies or passengers. Not that she supposed it mattered. The zombies couldn't see the train -- or board it -- so she wasn't terribly worried. The stop did make her wonder if the train was continuing its tradition of exceptionally horrible stops. She'd thought the resort had been a reset of sorts -- it had expanded, rearranged, and restocked -- but this stop was on par with Tortuga. A shade worse, maybe, because the pirates at least didn't seem bent on killing them all on sight. But did that mean the stops would continue on a descending scale of horrible? Or was it a reversal -- they were starting with horrible stops that would get progressively better as time went on? She had no way of knowing -- none of them did. But that didn't stop her from wondering about it. As the person who had taken the reins in attempting to organize the train ... things like this concerned her greatly. Exhaling a heavy sigh, Lily rested her arms on the arm rests, and continued to watch the dark world while wondering when they'd be leaving it. Personally, she couldn't wait to be moving again. |
