the orient express

Guess the train decided to send a whole bunch of people home. I knew I shouldn't have allowed myself to become attached cause now he's back to being dead. I guess that's life on the train. At least Henry is still on the train.

Emma said you guys were here! Where are you guys? I need to give hugs.

I really don't find this funny in the least bit. How the fuck did my box get here? I don't know how I feel about what decided to show up in my room. You can send it back now, thanks.

I really don't want to deal with this box. I would say this was a sick joke from someone on the train, but I know it isn't. Only two people know about this stuff and they wouldn't do that.

Dear Gods, I remember Storybrooke.

Emma?! Snow?! Are you still here??!

I'm sure you've all noticed Claudia has been gone for awhile. Even though I feel this loss and it cuts right through my soul. She won't be able to throw hurtful words at you anymore. I cannot apologise enough for the way she has treated you.

Private to Emma
Though Claudia is gone I will still help you against Regina. I need something to do with my life

[Filtered to Prince Thomas]

You and Ella must join Snow and I for dinner soon. It has been far too long, my friend.

I couldn't help but notice...  It seems that two names are now (blissfully) missing from the train.  Claudia and Rumpelstiltskin.

It's a beautiful day!  Or it appears to be, outside, at least.

From the sounds of it a lot of people have been sent back. Is this normal for a huge group to vanish?

I could go look, but I'm a bit afraid to see for myself. Is everyone I know and who I want on the train still around? Or did the train send some people I want here back?

Da Jia Hao!

Welcome to China folks! Little announcement for those lookin’ to do supply runs for the train.

Me’n Claudia rigged you folks up some ‘trigger cards’. Only got a half dozen so far, but anything with a magnetic stripe’ll do, so if you got a card you ain’t usin’ send it our way.

All you gotta do is use one of ‘em at any atm in the city, follow the screen prompts the card’ll bring up for ya using the keypad and you’re laughin’. - I’ll be hangin’ back in the front Kitchen if you're lookin' to shop. Be sure let Claudia or me know if it does somethin' wacky.

Don’t fret we ain’t stealin’ no old folks life savin’s or such, this don't take money from any account -- just hackin’ the machines with a bug to pony up, so’s we can stock up and go on eatin’ for however long the train keeps on running and bringin' in more folk needin' to eat along for the ride.

‘Course this ain’t a call to be greedy, but if someone wanted to take their girlfriend out for the best xiǎolóng bāo the city’s got, pretty sure you ain’t gonna get smote for it.

[Men (but not Rumpelstiltskin)]
It seems that many people are discussing and making plans for Shanghai.  I have not been on this train long enough to know what happens when we... stop?  I would like to do something for my wife, but all I have with me for currency is the contents of my wallet from my own time.  I don't suppose that would be of any use there, would it?

[Ella]
Would you care to see the sights with me, once we arrive in Shanghai?

My love, I had a rather /sexy/ conversation with Miss Donovan, and she /touched/ me quite deeply...

I don't know how much more of this I can take.

Does anyone mind looking after a baby, just for a few hours?

[Private to Prince Thomas]

I need...to show you something from last night. Some of the things this Miss Donovan said about us. About you, my love. I do not know what to do. I do not know how to counter her cruelty.

If anyone has a child that they do not know how to care for, I have a daughter of my own who I miss dearly, and I would very much like to help.

[Private to Emma Swan]

I want to thank you for what you did for me in Storybrooke. I know we talked earlier, but I was very distraught and I don't think I told you how grateful I am.

"My bounty is as boundless as the sea, my love as deep. The more I give thee, the more I have, For both are infinite."
~William Shakespeare

My dear friends and fellow travelers, the past week has been a time of great commotion for many of us, and I think that it is time that we celebrate our love and our family - for of the many things in life, there are none more precious than those.

Monday night, Snow White and I are pleased to host in our cabin a small get together, for those of us from our world, and those others of you on the train who have known the gentle, yet profound touch of true love on your hearts.

Everyone (with a very few exceptions - you know who you are) is welcome to attend, but please let me know if you will be coming so that we may plan accordingly.

[Private to Zack]

My husband would be thrilled if you could teach us both how to swim?

[Private to Thomas]

I found nothing even resembling the swimming suits we have back home. They're all in the style of the ones in Storybrooke. The one I found for myself...well...it's blue...and in two very small pieces.

Zack - the man who was to be my roommate - has offered to teach me to swim, and I would dearly like to learn how. Would you mind if I took lessons from him? He has said that you could come along, if you like.

Dude, what the flying fuck?! Yeah, no, don't answer with, "but the tablet thingies tell you what's going on, and there's a letter which explains everything! tee hee!" Yeah, I know, a train, or the person controlling this train decided to kidnap people for shits and giggles!

Okay, just, this train? No, no, I am not blaming an inanimate object. The person in control of this train? They can shove the train up there ass, and fuck off!

At least I have my stuff, thanks train person, or magical kidnapping train!

ugh, alright, I need to calm down. Is there a pool some place?

What- what is this place?

I was at the cannery a moment ago, then there was purple smoke, and now I'm-

Oh, Gods.  Ashl- Cinderella?  Please, don't let me be taken from her again-
