the orient express

I'd like very much to go out into the forest. Is there someone who could take me?

Hang on, this isn't right. Unless 1851 London's suffered a drought of epic proportions, this isn't right at all. Wait... those are pyramids out there. Brand new pyramids.

Would anyone mind telling me why a train is making its way through the desert of ancient Egypt?

I'm on a train!

That's brilliant. I love trains. Especially weird time-and-space bendy Super trains.

It's like Christmas, only...without the usual invasion of aliens threatening earth! It's like....It's like better Christmas!


HELLO EVERYONE!

How can someone and their things just disappear from the train while it's underwater? I can't find my Dad.

I'm not entirely sure how currency or money works on this train, but as someone who provides a professional service, I feel I ought to extend the opportunity to take advantage of such service to...anyone here. And don't worry about money, really. I've always been a firm believer in the barter system, however payment is required upfront and all terms agreed upon between me and potential clients before hand.

And I promise you, I'm very discreet.

Fish are amazing! There's so many different kinds and colors.

Right, meant to post this yesterday, but the blasted thing wouldn't let me hit send, so. And then I sort of forgot about it

Ran into a bit of trouble in the observation car yesterday. It was like we were gassed, or something, and we started... well, hallucinating.

I don't know if it's contained to just that car or if it's spreading to the whole train, or if it was just a one time thing, but anyone else running into this problem? It faded quick enough but it... can't be healthy.

The idea that there are people here from other realities, other times, other planets... it's simply fascinating. I want to learn about all of it, but it's a lot to take in. The mere fact that this train is in New York, after I came from London is a lot to take in just on its own. But, add in that we've traveled through time and I'm just not sure how much more my head can take! However, I can't get enough of it! It's all so fascinating!

What has anyone learned about New York so far? I haven't ventured out yet.

What part of my plans for tonight included a train? Or is this the new modified subway, no ticket required?

That'd be a great explanation, but I was no where near a subway, and if this train really is running away, why hasn't someone stopped it yet?

Hi, I'm Dave, can someone explain this to me, please?

Oh this is truly magnificent. A train! I love trains, been on a few before, but they're really brilliant things. Much better than planes really, the flying, cramped tubes. A train though, a train is fun with all its wobbling and wibbling about on the tracks, and letting you see the scenery.

Never been on a time traveling, dimension hopping train though. Kind of miss the boppling about, unfortunately. Takes away half the fun.

Still... it is a train.

Also, I love this communications device, all social netwo--AM I ON FACEBOOK?! I'VE ALWAYS WANTED A FACEBOOK!!

Oh I suppose it's not, it's not all blue and facebooky. Nevermind then, I guess I'll just get down to it then. I need a cell phone, an earring, a shoelace, and a spring. You can find me in the touring car with all of these things. Thank you!

What is this? Never mind that.

I appear to be expected to share a cubby hole with a girl. I don't know if there is some kind of confusion as to what is decent within regular society, but I will not be sharing a bed with anyone. Especially not a girl.

Judging by the lack of complete panic I would suppose that some of you have some idea as to what is going on here. I wish to be filled in.

Hello!

I don't mean to be rude, or anything, but I was reading your conversation with Amy from the other day, and uh... is it true you're the Doctor's daughter?

And the only person I know who could be your mother is my

This is... going to sound weird, but is there somewhere we could go to maybe, uh, talk about that? I travelled with the Doctor for a while and and I think I could be able to tell you some things about him. And maybe you. But I don't really want to do it over computers.

I'm Rory, by the way. Rory Williams. Guess I could have started with that.

Okay I don't know what is going on here, but Im warning you now that I won't go down without a fight and you'll regret ever kidnapping me. Where is the Doctor? Because if he finds out I've been taken, he will find you and you won't know what hit you. My name is Amelia Pond, and I just might be your worst nightmare.

I've had enough of the mind games! If this is another illusion I swear I'll start tearing this place apart! I was just in a volcano, not a...what is this? A train?

Is anybody still out there? Ahsoka, Obi-Wan? This doesn't even feel like the same planet. I need some answers, now. Please?

Dad? I was told you're here. Why won't you talk to me?

if santa is real do you think he will find me on the train becaus there is no chimey and my stocking is at home

i relly miss my mom and i want to go home and this train is stupid and i hate it

Thank you for the clothes, Rose, but I don't understand why you gave them to me.

Dad?

just when i was used to the other phone..

this...whole scenario should be highly improbable. where am i? i need to get back. there is work to be done.

I'm honestly expected to type on this ridiculous little keyboard? There has got to be a better way. Actually there is. It's called telepathy.

This makes no sense. I was in the shuttle I stole borrowed and now I'm...not. How did that happen?
