the orient express

My Maker is gone again.

I hate this train.

I have to admit.....you have good taste in shoes.

Private to Ginger

King Bill's progeny, Jessica, and I are heading off the train. If you want off the train come with us so you stay safe.

Private to Pam Ravenscroft

Jessica badgered me until I gave in to shut her up. She and I are headin' off the train to experience the nightlife. I'll be back before dawn if you care.

I haven't heard you shrieking over the network in the past few days. Are you still alive?

When we hit China do you want to paint Tienanmen Square red? Could use a good bite and perhaps some shopping?

We need to talk.

I'm gonna be punished for this but I caution you all to stay away from Bill Compton. Or at the very least be careful. He isn't as charming and friendly as ya'll might think. Oh, and if any of ya'll see a woman named Tara, let me know. She needs lookin' after.

Hello my tasty friend.

I'm thirsty again. Care to donate your delicious blood once again?

Can we talk?

I need your advice.

[Ginger is not very tech-savvy. Picking up the device she accidentally turns on the voice recorder and sends out the following]

Where...where am I?

[a door opens]

Pam? Eric?

[a door slams shut]

I'm not at Fangtasia anymore am I?

[hysterical screaming begins and the post ends]

Huh. I've never shadow-travelled onto a train before.

Cool.

[Sent Train-Wide]

So I got cornered by a empousa vampire in the observation car last night. Are there a lot of them on board? Do they normally just come up to you and ask to eat you? Anyone know if celestial bronze destroys them?

[Private to Thalia]

Hey. So, yeah, there's at least one empousa on the train. She didn't know what I was but she kept asking if she could taste me. My blood, I guess. So, um, just keep your eyes open.

I came across a human today. His name is Percy.

He smells delicious Eric. Better than any fairy. Better than the telepath. He smells pure and fresh. He wouldn't let me feed from him though. Very disappointing, although I'm sure can change his mind.

Have you heard of another species being more appealing than fairies?

See? That wasn't so bad, was it? Ask me nicely and next time I'll use the crop!

[VOICE POST]

...is it safe to use this? Hello?

Who brought me here?

Father?

Are we actually...underwater?

I don't have time for this shit. Where the hell am I?

Hey Eric.

Can we meet up? I miss /topping/ you.

Where's a donor when you need it?
