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.

Brilliant. It's been ages since I've been on this thing.

Who's still here? How long has it been Has it been going on for thirty yea

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?

My Maker is gone again.

I hate this train.

[Private to Annabeth]

Annabeth...

We should talk.

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.

[Private to Thalia]

Thalia, I need to talk to you. As soon as possible.

It's important.

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!

Um, when did you get a brother? Everything okay?

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.

Hey. Thanks.

thank christ. I hereby swear to never wank in zero gravity again. and advise you all to wait it out, no matter how horny you believe yourself to be, i repeat, it is not worth it.

That is all.

This really is quite ridiculous, poor Crookshanks hasn't left the bathroom since this all began!

If anyone's interested for now there are sticking charms to keep smaller objects where they should. I wouldn't recommend it on things you use regularly, obviously the name implies that. It can be used on people, but of course, because it's generally meant for objects the effect only lasts a only last a few hours. Plus there's not exactly a lot of freedom for movement once you're stuck. But it's long enough that you can stay in your seat and eat a meal without having to retreat to the bathroom. Or perhaps nap, or read without having to fasten yourself to the bed.

Any luck with something to counter this?

None of the sinking spells seem to work very well at all for me. I suppose it's just due to the magic requiring water. Weighting charms might work? Plenty of wizard and witches use those on their precious objects so they can't be stolen or teleported, due to being many times heavier than they should be - I just need to find one.

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

Are you okay?

I'm really starting to hate this train.

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.
