Does anyone happen to h

Excuse me, hello.

My name is January, and I'm missing something. If anyone happens to now have a dragon inside of them, please let me know. You can see her. Just look. She should be curled up and asleep and she likes to wrap her wings around herself.

That sounds strange

I'm not crazy

It's not just me and Ray and Lily, right? Everyone has that scrolling message on their phones?

And my magic's gone again. I think I'd rather have hallucinations.

Fucking train.

As much as I miss the Hunt, I miss also the pull of a full-bodied Luna. Come, my friend, where are you hiding? Why must we dance to worlds you are unknown?

You will not give the immortals who request blood your blood. As there is no-one else to guide you, the task falls to me.

[Quinn]
I have watched your machine in the nights and nothing has happened to it. It is a rather peculiar device.

What the....? I was just walking my dog.... I'm not sure who is more confused, him or me.

Future reference: Don't eat the cinnamon candies in the dining car.

I spent a good twenty minutes floating around the room.

Literally.

Oh my gosh! Snow! There's snow! No more grey!

I ain't never seen it this close before...

PROM VOTING

On one of the end tables in each parlor car is a large, empty Kleenex box, a stack of blank paper slips, and markers. Quinn has used the craft supplies in the baggage car to decorate the boxes so they say PROM VOTING.



Tristan has enchanted the boxes so they can neither be stolen nor emptied. Otherwise, it's free game - there is no protection against shenanigans such as ballot-stuffing, voting by those who won't be attending prom, or write-ins. Your character can comment here to vote or engage in monkey business; voting is open until prom on Friday night.

Taped to the front of each table is a list of the nominees:

PROM KING:

Tristan Werewolf
Jace
Marvel
Matt Prept
Cato

PROM QUEEN:

Quinn Morgendorffer
Clary
Lily Luna Potter
Sophia Peletier
Glimmer

Ladies and Gentlemen,

here is the thing: I'm bored. Terrifyingly bored.

So, who is up for a prank war?

Here are the rules: don't hurt each other and if there's anything you do not want to be done to you, comment it here. (See, Lily, I've got rules, I'm mature!)

Moony, don't be a spoilsport!

Come on, guys, it's fun!

WHO KNOWS HOW TO DRAW A TRAIN?! We need prom posters.

Also, this can serve as like, the official nomination post for prom court. Usually only the top three or four nominees get to run, but whatever, I guess everyone who decides to run or is nominated can be in the running. You can totally nominate yourself if you want.

Sorry if I don't know your whole name but some of you are new.

PEOPLE RUNNING FOR PROM KING SO FAR:

Demigods aren't sopposed to use this stuff or monsters will find us. Do you think they can find us here?

[ooc: Piper is dyslexic and hasn't figured out the spellcheck/voice-to-text feature quite yet. feel free to comment on her spelling but she'll probably get pissed. :p]

My, this is such a wonderfully strange train! It's not quite like the Hogwart's Express though. Strangely, I do not remember boarding but that could be the work of a Wrackspurt.

Would anybody care to tell me where I am?

I really can't believe I need to explain this, but apparently there is one really rude person who does not understand how proms work.

Proms are events held at high schools, so people who go are usually in high school. Either that or they are the college aged dates of people in high school. I know Lawndale has an age limit at their prom of 20, so really I'm being super nice by letting people who are 21 go! Proms aren't something you get to go to just because you want to go or think you can bully the committee into going. If that were true I'm sure my friend Sandi's mom would go and embarrass herself and everyone else there by wishing she were our age again.

ANYWAY I'M REALLY EXCITED AND CAN'T WAIT FOR THE FIRST EVER TRAIN PROM! It won't be as good as Lawndale's, but it'll be an okay substitute I think.

What is going on? Where are we, how long have you been here, and where can I find you?

WOULD ANY NORMAL PEOPLE LIKE TO TALK? I REALIZE THAT ON THIS TRAIN, THAT IS NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND, BUT I WOULD JUST LIKE SOMEONE NORMAL TO TALK TO.

NORMAL INCLUDES:

- YOU HAVE YOUR MEMORY
- YOU DON'T TRY TO CONVINCE ME I AM THE CRAZY ONE
- YOU LIKE CLOTHES OR MAKEUP OR NAIL POLISH OR DOING YOUR HAIR. ALL 4 ARE PREFERABLE BUT I'LL TAKE ANYTHING I CAN GET.

ANY OF THOSE, OR NONE OF THOSE AND INSTEAD

- YOU ARE A CUTE BOY

EDIT: ATTENTION PEOPLE UNDER 22: THERE WILL BE A PROM SOMETIME AROUND THE FOURTH OF JULY OR SOMETHING. IT'S GOING TO BE AWESOME AND YOU SHOULD TOTALLY GO.

PEOPLE 22 AND OLDER: YOU CAN'T COME. NOT AS CHAPERONES, NOT AS DATES, NOT AT ALL. IF WE FIND YOU IN THERE WE WILL THROW YOU OUT ON YOUR WRINKLED BUTTS.

Well, this is certainly getting old fast.

I'm trying to decide - did we prefer the singing?

I find the gym adequate. Though the soft parts would not withstand pummeling with claws.

Looks like we dodged a bullet with this one. I took some footage on my phone of our time here - mostly at the bonfire that's still burning - and uploaded it to my youtube account. Check it out while you still can: Click Me!

You're welcome.

Would anyone be interested in a lake-side bonfire? Something to do before we all get back on the train and are shuffled into whatever trauma it has coming up next? We can make s'mores and stuff. And be social. Because we don't see enough of each other on the train

Edit
So, it looks like we have interest! I guess we're supposed to be leaving in five days, so ... night of the fourth day from now, we'll have a bonfire by the lake. With beer. And wine coolers. And s'mores.

Anyone who wants to volunteer to help set it up would be appreciated. I guess the robots can manage the food stuff.

Am I the only one that knows how to line dance? I've got the sudden urge to line dance to some old country music. Like... The Bootscootin' boogie. Or like Achey Breaky Heart, yes I know those are his mullet having days, but... They were good days.

I really like that Set Fire to the Rain song. Plus side to being train-napped. I'd have had to wait years to get to hear it otherwise.
