the orient express

Anyone want to play capture the flag in the snow?

So, anyone wanna live with me? Looks like my roommate just moved out. And I had plenty of rooming alone in Cabin 3

I'm relatively neat, mostly quiet, I usually don't snore, and Annabeth says I'm adorable.

If the people who are getting winter stuff find a kid-sized aviator jacket, could you let me know? It's mine.

Also...I know it's still a few weeks off, but how do people celebrate Halloween here?

I don't understand people who have tons and tons of shoes in their closets. I only have 13 right boots and they're taking up all the space.

Anyone with the left boots, wanna compare?

Next stop we're at, we're going to organize a game of capture the flag with anyone who wants to play. We're splitting ourselves up so we don't beat up the mortals. Annabeth and Nico, you're on my team. Percy and Luke, Jason's team.

In the meantime, there's a possibility that we can get tickets to go outside if Jason hasn't completely broken the machine. Seems to be pretty temperamental. I got mine, but it won't give one to Jason.

That thing yesterday never happened. Understood?

Anyone here good with a sword? I can't afford to get out of shape while I'm stuck on this train.

[Private to Thalia]

Hey, everything okay? Can I come back to my room now?

[Private to Annabeth]

Annabeth...

We should talk.

Do you have any idea what is going on with Percy?

I'm worried.

I -

What - where - how -

I'm...still on the train? But...

ANNABETH?!?!

WHY ARE MY LEGS COVERED IN BARK AND STUCK TO THE GROUND!!!

I can't move! What in the gods is going on!

Percy!

We're back on the ground!

Hey, guys.

We've all been here long enough, I thought maybe we should all...have a get together, you know? Have dinner or something. I know things haven't been great for everyone lately, but looks like we're stuck here forever for a while, so we'd might as well be friends, right? We're all on the same side, after all I think.

Oh sweet gravity please don't leave me ever again.

Filtered to Luke
Hey. Thanks.

Bill's been sent home or wherever the hell the train sends us once its had enough of us. I know I should be glad that he is not around to deal with the train's latest shit but I'm not. He's left me all alone again. Left before I could give him a piece of my mind for the way he's been treatin' me

[Briseis, thanks to Luke, has learned to use the train's translator on her tablet, which is helping to an extent with network posts. Still, the language is a bit awkward, because it's a computer based translator]

Why float? I don't like this.

[Filtered to Luke and Annabeth]

[OOC: Yes, I know this is regular Greek, but my translator doesn't do ancient Greek. XD]]

Λουκά; Ανναμπεθ; Ξέρετε πώς να σταματήσει το κυμαινόμενο;

[Luke? Annabeth? Do you know how to stop the floating?]

Are you okay?

I'm really starting to hate this train.

*there's some shuffling sounds, and the sound of buttons being pushed randomly, before a young female voice speaks in Ancient Greek*

What...

What is this? Where...where am I?

By the gods, what is this place?

No, no no no no no no no.

You don't get it. I can't fly. I can't. We have to land right now.

Seriously.

On the ground. Now.

I don't like flying.

I'd really appreciate it if the train would put us back on the ground now.

I like being immortal. Being immortal is awesome. And if I live long enough, maybe the train will stop by my world.

[Filtered to Annabeth]
I need to talk to you.

[Filtered to the Huntsman]
I found some hunting grounds. Let's see what you got.

So, I heard you were on this train and I haven't seen you yet. Then I heard about all the disappearances. We haven't lost you, too, have we?
