the orient express

So glad to have my abilities back. Never thought I would say I missed them, but I did.

I'm really hoping the train is causing all this singing and the train didn't pick up a demon certain someone from my past.

[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?

I'm loving the view outside the train, but hating what is going on inside the train like I'm sure so many others are. Couldn't just let us enjoy the view without the worry of being killed or driven to the brink of crazy.

How you doing, Dawn? You haven't had anything happen or anything, right? I don't want to have getting hurt by the wasps that are around.

I've been meaning to find you and say thanks along with I'm so sorry. I never meant for that to happen and I know he didn't either and I'm sorry. Sorry it took so long for me to say that, but I did want you to know that I'm really sorry but also wanted to say thank you for everything.

A bit certain this isn't the way to France. Don't think this is London, either! Well, guess it's not too bad. Away from my mother, but guess I'm a bit stuck since I'm looking for my uncle. In the meantime, if I had known hopping a train else where would have gotten me a fit roommate, I would have done it sooner!

The name's Gemma, by the by! Gemma Masters. Who are you all?

Fucking hell. This is a first... Never had a locating spell backfire like that before.

Right then.

Please tell me someone on this train has got some fucking nicotine because I'm on me last Silk Cut and something tells me the bloody pyramids outside aren't going to have any in stock.

Does anyone know where a guy could get some pants?

Aren't you glad I didn't turn out like this?

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.

Bobby?

All right -- naming famous British Brians -- that's the game. I'll start.

Blessed.

Dawnie, I wanted to make sure you were okay. Are you alright? Stupid train locked everyone out so I'm checking up on you. How are you doing? Where are you?

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.

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

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.

I got a hotel room, but since I paid with cash and couldn't tell them an exact day I'd be leaving, I'm 90% sure they think I'm a runaway...so they might be calling the cops on me.

Doctor... Grey? Tam? There's a woman down in the rear corridor on hang on Car #6. Dark hair, about 5'8". Seems to have been electrocuted, high voltage judging from the subdermal burns around the chest area; but no source of exposed electricity that I can find. Won't know if that's the cause of death without a full post-mortem, I'm assuming you guys have that covered. It sounds to me like this place has an unusually high death rate?

Where the bloody hell am I?! This isn't Shell Cottage!

Where's Dobby? Where's Ron? Where is everybody?! This must be some Death Eater plot.

Seriously? We just ended an apocalypse. Can't I at least take a nap before something else happens?

Where is here, anyway?
