what the hells?

[ that's it. guess who definitely wasn't expecting to be on a train to new tokyo? yeah. ]

Comments

[stabilis]

Sure. Also that.

[ thanks for validating his irreverent sarcasm, guy :') ]

[laozu]

Can we use you as a landmark, you're so tall!

[resleeves]

you gonna pay me?
if not, then no.
find your own way.

[laozu]

That's mean, you're mean. I've got an elbow in my ribcage! Someone stepped on my butt!

I'm wounded over here! I'm wounded and I'll buy you a drink if you raise your hand again.

[resleeves]

what kind of drink?
i'll consider it if it's something from the bar but if you're gonna try and be cute and get me orange juice, i'll have to break your legs.

[ have a random threat for your day. it's been a long fucking however long he was asleep and he's got time to make up for. ]

[laozu]

The only kind of drink that exists: strong, disgusting wine that only exists to break your brain in half. Goodness, it's like you've been burned before by someone who was definitely less agile than I - you'd have to CATCH me.

Hand up, please! I need to shelter between the width of your shoulders before I can ply you with alcohol, mister.

[laozu]

If YOU'RE here and I'M here and EVERYONE'S here, then who's controlling this thing!

[laozu]

[ hops in here late ]

Does it reaaaaaally matter HOW we got here? We're here!

[resleeves]

i'd just shoot you.

[ not that he has a gun but he could find one. ]

are you flirting with me?

[laozu]

I hear you and I appreciate your spirit.

[ pwease no shooty ]

Am I? Does it make you less likely to shoot me? If so, sure - it's flirting. If not? No, I really do need to shelter in your shadow, I'm being CRUSHED over here!

[gasping]

[ these dramatic implied endings to sentences really grate on her nerves ]

considering you just woke up from the world's longest rem cycle? i'm starting to guess we could all be worse.

[ in her groggy stumble from one car to another, she'd found it hard to block out conversations in her midst. too many people, all complaining, all concerned or afraid or angry or confused — it was a little overwhelming. at least the dining car was quiet for now. ]

@laura.moon

[apathet]

That's a mood

Drop me a pin to the bar cart?

[ hi stranger she's read that you're drinking ]

@laura.moon

[apathet]

Another one for the list.

[saviorexe]

Probably the equivalent of a conductor in this day and age. Which means it likely isn’t “manned” at all in the front car; just a set of tasks running on a pre-programmed itinerary.

That’s not your biggest concern at the moment, is it?

[daemonized]

If you’re going to tell me that you’re not the least bit curious, I’m going to have to call you a liar.

[laozu]

Oh, of COURSE I'm curious. I'm REALLY curious, I want to know how it happened and if we can repeat it and ALLLL sorts of things. In due time, in due time - stressing about it on a ride as cool as this is senseless though.

Someone will inevitably want to investigate, and we have a lot of people with suuuper big brains. I'm just saying - right now, I want a snack and a seat!

[resleeves]

crushed by what?
you're on a fucking train.

[laozu]

I don't understand any of that, but I suppose it's just as you say. And no, I have bigger concerns than just this...





Like, when are we going to get out of this tunnel so I can open a window and stick my head out of it?

[blyat]

so you think i cant swim out the window?
damn
here i was all set to try

[The sarcasm doesn't translate too well via text.]

[retravel]

Reckon I took a few hard knocks in the other realities. Timelines. Dreams. Don't know yet.
But whatever happened to us was the worst, so don't think you're off on "fine."

[ a beat. ]

I have to check in with someone first, then I'm all yours. Bit of a situation.
You're the priority as soon as it's sorted.

[ that's how fitz thinks. order and priorities, even through the thick of his emotional and physical distress. and markus sits near the top, just after the essential conditions of collective safety have been met. ]

[daemonized]

So let all the other fellows do the thinking? The smart ones? Not including yourself?

A fair enough argument, though I’d hardly call a train ride like this one all that riveting. Still, time is what you make of it! Find yourself a drink, and there are plenty of places to sit.

[apathet]

[ oh!! it's peter ]

Hey carb guy
Found any food worth eating?

[ sorry peter ]

[blyat]

so how wasted are you already

[reneger]

it's too bad
now everyone knows where you're at, how am i supposed to sneak you the good crap?

[blyat]

[Ordering a whiskey, he waves his hand to Jason - indicating payment for both of them - and exchanges the credits in the silent transaction.]

Really didn't think we'd be waking up on a train. Didn't sign up for this shit. How long's it gonna take to get back?

[Cain's foot jostles on the rung of the bar stool, a physical indication of his discomfort. He doesn't have time for this stupid field trip.]
