the orient express

Back car's an ice hockey rink. With equipment. I'll leave the door open =D Come play!

I stole one of the cookies before I saw the notes. Sorry!

But whoever baked them, yay cookies! Are there extras?

I guess an extreme amount of sand is better than being crushed under water or surrounded by dead bodies.

I think I saw a camel. :P

Although, it's hard to tell. It might have just been a pile of sand.

If you didn't see I signed you up to be evaluated. =D

Don't kill me.

OH. MY. GOD. What IS this place?! I mean one second I'm just curling my eyelashes at the bathroom sink and trying to tell Sandi that of course mustard is different from goldenrod and that I would never call her new skirt mustard because it's totally goldenrod and goldenrod goes better with her skintone and also mustard has never been on trend ever because it doesn't look good on anyone at all, and the next I'm lying on some bed in a tiny room that isn't even decorated right because there's no mirror and the closet is too small with a window that looks onto some gross corn field and there's this ugly wolf carved into the door, I mean what is that about? Anyway I want to go to Cashman's since I just got Daddy to pay me for getting a C on my math test, anyone know where the Fashion Club is? They totally need to come with me since there's a new limited edition lip gloss collection coming out soon and I think there's one that will go perfectly with Sandi's new goldenrod skirt and set off her brand new highlights! Except then she'll need to find a top in a nice complementary neutral and everyone knows Sandi hates neutrals, but oh well, that's her right as the President! I would never try to take her place and tell her what to do, even if neutrals look way better on her than those bland pastels she always wants to try. So which way is Cashman's?

Is there anyone here capable with a sword?

This doesn't look like the base for the 2nd mass. Where are the skitters, the mechs, or even the overlords? All I know is I'm not in Boston anymore, but where am I and why am I here? Is this place safe? Cause I really could use a shower if the water works here. I can't even remember the last time I had a shower.

I know it isn't really funny that there might be a vampire on board who wants to kill everyone, but Lord Harry? It just doesn't really strike fear, you know?

I'd like to play a little game! We all could, it's one of those games we used to do in acting classes but I really think here it might prove to be a bit...useful actually. The game is called 'Professor' and I'll explain how it works...

You decide what you're the professor of. It doesn't have to be something you know anything about (better if it isn't really) and it could be ridiculous...and fun. Then the rest of us just ask you questions about it and you've to come up with answers. It's all meant to be fun and creative, like.

So! What do you teach?

Did U get my msg? Bcuz U didnt write me back :(

This is not where I expected to wake up.

I don't even know where this is.

So, I found some paint sets in the baggage car, and I'm painting things on doors. I'll even take requests if you want something specific on yours.

Just ... no fish though. There's enough of those outside the windows. =D

Oh my Goodness, what is going on?

Um, I'm not sure where to start at all. Bit overwhelming, all of this, bit much to take in. I don't even know what to say...or where to start. I'm Richard, everyone. I'm...well, if anyone would like to know I'm an actor -- best known for a Storytelling series I did (won a BAFTA for it too, not that I'm not to brag). I was just a minute ago having my morning porridge and now I'm here! I'll treat anyone who can tell me what's happening to a pint and the promise of a good conversation, if you like!

Also, hi! :)

I think I'm hallucinating. Look out the window and tell me what you see.

Did I fall asl

I know you all are having a real good laugh at my expense, I was waiting for Mitchell to bring Annie in the middle of The Real Hustle, and I'd like to get back to it.

So I'm not quite sure how I should be taking my arrival here. Help me figure it out.

These are the options I've come up with so far:

1. I could blame my cousins. They are quite talented and would find this sort of thing hilarious, but I'm not sure they're capable of this. So a little denial on my part would be necessarily.

2. I could accept that I appear to be on a runaway train through time and realities. This feels like it might require madness or ... alcohol. Haven't decided which.

3. I could haughtily demand to be sent home right this moment and get annoyed when it doesn't happen. This option seems like a lot of work for little reward.

Right then. That's all I've got at this point.

Is this a new and creative form of torture that I've somehow missed out upon until now? It's innovative, I have to admit.

So, this is fairly impressive as pranks go, and I've been on the receiving end of some great ones. I'd start throwing accusations but I don't think even James is this creative, so instead: can anyone direct me to the kitchen? I think I need a cup of something hot and caffeinated to go with my mild panic attack.

Being able to be off the train for a bit was fun, just wish I knew what those hoofprintts were form!

Small bit of random: I dropped off quite a bit of art supplies during the stop. I figured the more creative types need some fun too (and I did pluck a jewerly kit and sketchbooks/supplies for myself).

*Hogwarts filter, past and current*

It looks like I gained a roomie during the stopp, but I lucked out. He's about the age of your averaage first year and well he made the walls talk but I'm pretty sure he's not a wizard. But he's nice and a lot of fun to be aroundd!

Hm.

Well. At least I have my own dealy now.

Hi, I'm April. I've met some of you already.

I guess this answers whether or not people can be pulled from stops. I wasn't even wearing the soap!

So hey. You think it would be a good idea to pack bags and carry them around in case we do get sucked onto the train when it leaves? I guess it's supposed to take off Wednesday night.
