the orient express

Now I don't know where I am or how those great metal beasties got me here, but anyone here is in cahoots with them you'll learn the hard way that nobody can kidnap a McCrimmon and get away with it.

If you're not in cahoots with them, I've got no quarrel with you, and wouldn't be opposed to some assistance. If you've seen a big blue wooden box or a wee laddie in tartan trousers and a bow tie going by 'the Doctor', I'd be much obliged if you'd point me in the right direction.

I'm mildly disappointed that my closet has yet to spontaneously fill itself up with new clothes. One can never have too many boots.

Anyone know when and where our next stop will be?

[Briseis]
I'm really sorry about earlier. I was being stupid.

[Luke - added later]
I didn't know you were having nightmares. How bad are they?

Backbiter's here. Found her in my things when I went back to the cabin after dinner.

She's different than I remember, but I imagine she'll work just fine.

Who lef-
I don-
This isn-
Why would som-

No, no, no!

[A few minutes later]

I..is, does anyone know how or why there are 13 right winter boots in my closet?

This train has a twisted sense of humor. When will it leave me alone? I jokingly wish that it could bring Pete to me so I'm not alone. And instead of my partner, little Pete, shows up on my dresser.

( I'm really not amused )

Uh...my hair is green.

And...has flowers growing out of it.

Hello.

Can others see what I have written here?

These devices are still very foreign to me.

My name is Lady Marian, of Knighton.  I have been told that I was here before, though I do not remember it.

This is very strange.

I am pleased to meet you all.

Oh, it is a relief to be back on the ground again, isn't it? I can't help but think that the gods didn't mean for we mortals to be in the air like that.

This type of scene again only with different animals. Do you think the train has this type of place as a favorite or something? Can we go back to flying as long as our feet stay on the ground?

Luke...are you there?

[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?]

*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?
