the orient express

Got to say, I am loving this place, no matter why we are here. It's been way too long since I got to stretch and just let go.

So, PSA.

Going off-board doesn't stop the singing. You just sing on the beach.

You're welcome.

[[Lyra is sitting on the bed in her room, singing very very very softly, hesitantly. Pan is next to her, dancing with the music. They both get visibly emotional as the song continues, and ends with Lyra unable to finish the final line]]

Fuck yes! I was helpful today.  Maybe I don't hate this train as much as I should.

[Private to Jo-Nah]

I'm going to kiss you the next time I see you.  Just FYI.

[Public]

Have you ever...been able to do something you've never been able to do before?

[Private to Logan]

I accidentally ran into this girl with bright pink hair and now I can touch people. 

[Quinn]
I'm bored. We should do something.

[Bobby]
Have you checked out Tortuga yet?

[Bobby]
Guess what.

I'm still roommate-less.

...Do you want to sleep in here tonight?

You know... when a guy is just trying to get some views on what is going on, and his personal space is invaded by wasps? This is when a bad day happens.

I apologize for the icy mess on one end of the observation car. I'll finish cleaning it up soon.

Really glad we aren't stopping here.

Bobby?

Anyone else have an ominous feeling about this place?

This has to be a sick joke of some kind. Where the hell am I?

Is this my reward for getting rid of the first? I want a refund if so because I don't enjoy showing up in weird places, thank you very much.

Anyone free for an unplanned window fix? Plus where are the flashlights kept? The darkness is not exactly helping things at the moment.

Not COOL, bitch train!

That happened to be my favorite jacket.

[Private to Anna]

It's raining in our room. Right in the center, like there's a goddamned porthole.

Bed sheets are soaked. Towels are all over the floor now. I'm not GOOD at cleaning up, okay.

Not cool train! But thankfully I've got the laptop protected along with the rest of the gear.

I'll take the cows right about now.

Oh dear lord you've got to be kidding me.

I suppose the syringes have nothing to do with this, do they?

We should

If anyone's interested in a sort of patrol, I'd suggest we all keep an eye on the windows. If anyone has suggestions for the observation car, I'm all ears. I can only im

You. Me. Dining car #10. Ice cream?

You know what I'm going to miss most when we start moving again? Knowing what day it is. Or what time it is. Or what month it is.

Am I the only I had no idea the X-men had access to Amtrack. As classy as this is am I supposed to get off here? Or ride it the rest of the way to the Salem center?

Why the hell are we stopped to begin with, you figure with all the Pur

So, assuming the device isn't lying, we have roughly four days left here. I'd like to start picking up the perishable foods to stock the fridge and freezer soon, maybe in a couple of days. If anyone's interested in helping out with that, I've created a couple of lists. We do have significant sums of cash, thanks to all the broken cash machines around town ;) so I don't imagine we'll have to steal any of it.

Since we don't know how long we'll be traveling again once we start, or that there will be anything like this when we do stop again, I'd like to err on the side of caution and have the kitchen full to bursting of food. If there's overflow of non-perishables (like bottled water and canned goods and the like), I think storing it in the baggage car's the way to go. Even with the washing equipment in there, there should be sufficient room.

I've also had a bit of fun in a cookware store, so we have all manner of new pans and pots that should be big enough to handle our larger crowd.

If anyone can think of anything else, please don't hesitate to suggest it.
