Oh, blast.

This isn't the ministry, is it?

Well...at least I'm not splinched.

~~And here I thought I could actually do magic now...~~

	LBT? Hey, I'm Neville. Nice to meet you. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Long Black Train. Though... It's not black, unless you're talkin' metaphysically. It's a complete pleasure Neville. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	It's a big train, then? Lots of people here? Uh... Um, thanks? You too... (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Yep, started around seventeen cars or so when I first got picked up, now it's right around thirty. And well over one hundred people by now. You are quite welcome. Is there anything I can help you with? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Uh... I don't really even know enough to know what I need help with. My head's still spinning a bit from being kidnapped and all, I guess. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Oh you're that new, huh? Well I could give you the run down of things I guess.

There's two and a half kitchens. Two parlors, where the liquor is stored, in case you need to do some drownin', speaking of drownin' there's now a pool car, a car devoted to a giant living room, two dining cars, a full gym car, one that's open air so you can get a good looksee at the gray around us.

Breakfast and Dinner's taken care of by a lovely redhead that goes by the name of Lily, and an absolutely fabulous ~~ghost~~ brunette named Annie in the forward kitchen, in the back it's Piper and a ragtag bunch that do it every now and then, myself included. Though I tend to only cook for people I like.

Yep, that new. Sent this message as soon as I figured out how to use this device thing. Not so good with muggle electronics, I'm afraid.

Oh, wow. This train...seems to be expecting us to be here for the long haul, doesn't it? A pool? A gym? Merlin's beard. Never been on a train with that kind of thing before.

Oh, I know Lily. Or of her. She's Harry Potter's mum, right?

I'm not so good at cooking, but I can help with the clean up or something?

Oh, shug, I don't expect most muggles are good with muggle electronics. Some have a leg up cause they're from around the time all this gadgetry came out. Others, not so much. Hell, I was born with it around me and sometimes I wanna just chuck it out the window.

Yep, and some have been here for a good long while. I've been here for quite a few months myself.

Yeah, I think. She's been here a long long time.

I'm sure the leaders of the kitchen pack wont mind that. I can show you how to cook a few southern dishes if you like. Er southern United States that is.

	Uh...yeah...letting me cook is probably not a good idea. I was rubbish at potions, and cooking's kind of similar, right? I'd rather just clean up...I can't mess things up as badly that way. Where can I meet you? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	maryanne_walker 2012-06-19 08:01 am UTC (link)
	Nah, nothing you can cook can explode. If magic potions are anything like science potions... Food just burns, or gets over salted. Or both. I'm in the uh... outside car. If that makes sense. I'm kinda trying to see if I can spy evil eyes through the corn stalks. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	not_nobody 2012-06-19 09:33 pm UTC (link)
	Are there evil eyes in the Cornstalks? Because that sounds kind of...creepy. And I still say I shouldn't be cooking. I'm sure you'll agree soon enough once I start. But I'll come help with what I can, anyway. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	maryanne_walker 2012-06-20 12:31 am UTC (link)
	I haven't seen any, yet. The train likes to do creepy things. Oh, I'm not cooking tonight. I generally do biscuits in the morning and 'ask me' orders. Which basically is anything anyone asks me to cook. As long as I can. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	not_nobody 2012-06-20 02:28 pm UTC (link)
	Oh...okay. Well, I can usually make sandwiches. If there's nothing real complicated to be done. Unless I drop something or blow something up. Seriously, I wouldn't count on me to do much. I'm pretty pathetic. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Hey sandwiches can get you pretty far! There are tons of sandwich shops in the US. And that'd be one crazy sandwich if it blew up.

But seriously, don't be so hard on yourself. Everyone has to start with a little burnt toast sometime. Meet me in the back kitchen tomorrow at lunchtime. Usually everyone fends for themselves for that meal. And I'll teach you a few simple things.

	Yeah, I'd really like that. Just...don't be disappointed if I really am as pathetic as I think I am? I really did bomb potions. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	maryanne_walker 2012-06-22 04:07 am UTC (link)
	Trust me it takes a lot to disappoint me, and burnt food isn't even on the list. Besides exploding food can be fun, until we have to clean it up. So no more of this pathetic talk. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	not_nobody 2012-06-22 04:57 pm UTC (link)
	Yeah, sure, okay. I'll meet you down there, then? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	maryanne_walker 2012-06-23 05:06 am UTC (link)
	Yep! You wont be able to miss me. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
