the orient express

So, is this another power loss thing, or power swap or ... something? I was looking for a shirt that seems to have gone missing, and I couldn't find it. I know it's here, because it was here yesterday.

I thought lockouts only went 24 hours. It's been longer than that. Hasn't it?

Do you think we're locked out for the rest of the stop? Because that would suck.

Want to go build a snow man? =D

Have you seen much of Shanghai yet? Do you want to go exploring before we have to leave?

So hey. Can your power find specific cities?

So hey, train people ...

If anyone needs something specific found, I've got nothing planned for this stop, and I'd be willing to locate things for people.

Anyone out there got cards that came with 'em from home they don't want anymore?

Not lookin' for anythin' special, it's only gotta have a magnetic strip or a chip on it or somesuch. Gotta bit of an idea brewin' how they might come in useful to us all when we get to stoppin' in Shanghai.

Hey.

This is kind of awkward

So um. The train sent Alex If you're not doing anything, some time, you want to watch a movie? You're the closest thing I have to a friend here

I feel so pathetic

I have found all of the baby stuff.

It seemed like a useful use of my mutation.

Bottles are in the middle kitchen, and food and formula is being stored in the infirmary.

I'd still keep an eye out though. I had a couple of flickers which I can only assume means the train was screwing with me, somehow. Why not? It's taken the power before

Hey.

How are you holding up under the onslaught of infants? Do you need anything? Coffee, tea, shoulder rub, me?

[Juliet St Laurent]

Jamie Dorny mentioned you were going out to look for flamethrowers together, did you find anything? Was there a shopping mall or something? Not ..that shopping malls usually have ..flamethrowers, I just wondered if you managed to get a bit of a scope of the area.

[Kelly]

Do you want to go have a proper look outside, see if we can find anything useful for the train? There might be flamethrowers.

So, who can find things? Because I sure can't today!

Stupid train.

Did you eat any of the candies yet?

It's kind of fun, but I don't know if I should say that yet. I've only tried a couple. I've seen butterflies that weren't there, and I sprouted feathers along my arms. Really really pretty butterflies and really really pretty feathers.

I haven't heard anything really horrible yet. Maybe this is the train's idea of fun?

Future reference: Don't eat the cinnamon candies in the dining car.

I spent a good twenty minutes floating around the room.

Literally.

Hey.

Unless you're super busy being a doctor or something, can you come back to the room? There's something I need to show you.

What the fuck is this?

Is this meant to be some kind of fucking joke?

Apparently "resigning" now entails fucking involuntary exile, is that it? Out of sight, out of mind? What next, are you going to rebuild fucking Hadrian's Wall? Actually, you fucking better get building it, because I am about to rain down fucking fury on you from above. You can't get rid of me that easily. I am the fucking heart and soul of your fucking government, so unless you want it to start resembling some fucking piss-soaked tramp lying in a pool of it's own legislative vomit, I highly recommend we cut the crap and fast-forward straight to the fucking make-up sex. Figuratively speaking, you get me?

Wow. Crazy chaos this morning.

Also, I think Beth's gone. She was here last night because I checked doors, but her name's not on any of the doors now. =/

Would anyone be interested in a lake-side bonfire? Something to do before we all get back on the train and are shuffled into whatever trauma it has coming up next? We can make s'mores and stuff. And be social. Because we don't see enough of each other on the train

Edit
So, it looks like we have interest! I guess we're supposed to be leaving in five days, so ... night of the fourth day from now, we'll have a bonfire by the lake. With beer. And wine coolers. And s'mores.

Anyone who wants to volunteer to help set it up would be appreciated. I guess the robots can manage the food stuff.

Not that I think you will need to know where I am, but if you had to come find me for some reason, I'm down by the pool. In case you were interested.

So, this is about the equivalent of breaking down in the middle of Death Valley in the height of an August heat wave, right?

Awesome. Rock on, train.
