the orient express

I've been in Dallas and New Orleans before. But somehow New York feels bigger and more intimidating and. . .louder than I'm used to. there are so many thoughts

I miss Bon Temps sometimes.

This ole train startin' to wear a body down... maybe next stop there be a way to call on home somehow...

So, ghost in the machine or am I just hearing things now? You guys heard something, right?

Hello, everyone.

I just wanted to let everyone know there's a supply sign up sheet in the kitchen, like there was last time. For those who've joined us since the last stop, we had a meeting once upon a time early on to discuss how to handle stops. Since there are a lot of new people here, I thought I'd try to arrange the same sort of thing.

So, anyone interested in helping obtain supplies, your assistance is welcome. The matter of currency is an issue, so whoever is obtaining supplies may have to resort to attempts to barter, or other means. If you aren't comfortable with this, please don't agree to help acquire supplies.

Since we don't actually know how long we'll be stopped for (or when we're actually going to stop), I'd like a plan in place to move quickly if we only have a day or so. If we have longer, then of course we'd save the supply-gathering for the end.

I'll put a list so volunteers can sign up, and once we stop, we'll sort out who's going after what so we don't wind up with too much of something and not enough of something else.

If anyone has any other suggestions, I'm sure we'd all be open to hearing them. Thank you.

I think it will be better and safer if we're all together for this. Safety in numbers and if Eric and Meg are starting to hallucinate, then the idea that they can't hurt supes is out the window.

Come stay in my room tonight, okay? We're gonna have to fall asleep eventually and Eric won't be asleep until daylight.

I'm not usually one to just sit back and let the man be the protector, but right now I'm willing to make an exception.

Okay, really? This is just getting gratuitous now.

Beheading is so Middle Ages.

I must have taken a wrong turn or the apparate spell went haywire. Because this is not Shell Cottage! There are also things that look to belong to a male, but nobody I would know.

That and my arm hurts.

Despite the efforts made by everyone so far, I've found another body. I can't find any ID because of how badly burnt she is, but maybe someone who knew her could identify her.

She's in the kitchen car. I'll stay here until a doctor comes.

Who has weapons?

I think I just saw a naked man outside the train. So gross.

At least there's Africa, then. Never been there before and have always wanted to see an elephant or something outside the zoo.

Aw hell, hookah, where we wound ourselves up now?
