wanna build a snowman we will need a carrott love, maxine

I have a name now. It's River, and I'm glad to be found. Simon? I think we should have a tea party in the parlor car. Someone has decided to put on a show.

Okay.

First of all, hello. I'm Rory Williams. I'm new.

Second of all... has anyone seen a strange-acting tall man wearing a cool bowtie? Goes by The Doctor? Or a pretty wonderful girl with red hair named Amy? They're friends of mine, and I can't seem to find them.

Third. Um. Is it typical for things to burst into song when you touch them around here?

dose anyone want to play with me? you can have first pick of the toys ok love, maxine

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?

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

hi dad you are taking a relly long time and we need to be rescued and also i would like to keep padfoot becaus he is a nice dog love maxine!

This train is too small. I miss the roa

...Anyone got a sure fire way to get rid of nightmares dreams?

This really isn't where I expected to wake up today. I don't know whether to be a little freaked out or a lot freaked out.

Did I piss someone off to land me here? I don't remember pissing anyone off lately. If I did, seriously, you just got to tell me and I'll try and make it right. Conversely, if this is a prank, this isn't funny so much as a lot of effort to go to. So... kudos for that? I guess.

My head hurts.

HAS ANYONE SEEN MY DOGGIE HE IS BIG AND BLACK AND I HAVE TO GIVE HIM A BATH

Cow is in the kitchen. Repeat, cow is in the kitchen.

That was an adventure.

Attention, passengers of the abduction train: I'm looking for an imaginary beastie that answers to 'Tinkerbell.' A small boy has taken up residence in my cabin and I'm afraid he's convinced that fairies do, in fact, exist.

If you see a little spot of reflected light or hear bells, be careful about where you step. The child has a sword.

hi dad if you come rescue us now i promise i will put mrs pickels and all the other animals back pleas dont be mad at me i love you and i miss mom and cliff love, maxine

I made four copies of the deck of cards.

One's yellow and black. One's red and gold. One's silver and green. One's blue and bronze.

Each parlour car has two decks. Logan wouldn't give me the original one to keep. Like I was going to lose it or something. Pffft.

This is our ONLY FORM of entertainment, people. Try not to lose them. Like I can't just keep making copies forever and MAKE A TRAIN OF CARDS.

I am so bored

Found a deck of cards if anyone's up for a game of poker.

Or Go Fish.

Qu'est-ce que the fuck?

...This really isn't what I expected. Where are the clouds and golden roads and little kids playing harps and wearing wings?

On second thought, I'll take a train over little kids with wings.

Hey kid. How're you holding up?

Hello, everyone. I didn't do a proper introduction in my last message, for which I'm sorry. I'm not great with technology, but I'm learning. I'm Steve Rogers, and I'm in cabin 101-B.

I think we ought to have a town hall to talk about the situation and to make plans for the future. We could also just do it by wireless... communication device, but that seems impersonal.

My agenda points are: food; (rationing, allergies/ingredients that shouldn't be left about, resupplying). Information; (what we know, what we have to contribute, how we're going to get home). It's always a good idea to know your neighbor, and I also think we might want to have some ground rules about where weapons are - and shouldn't - be allowed. We're all jumpy and no one wants an accident.

If this seems like a good idea, I'm happy to spread the word to people who might not be checking their device.
