Who: Aria, Seph, Roxas and Song
What: Hunting down the phantom train
Where: Twilight Town
When: August 9th and 10th
As predicted, gathering information for this little sidequest had been relatively easy - a refreshing change from the usual, lately. The rumor had spread like rumors do in Twilight Town. A new mystery train, considerably spookier than the one which led to YenSid's tower, and possibly causing illness in those who got to close. Since she had not ever bothered to get the GF in Final Fantasy VIII, Song couldn't remember if this was a sign pointing towards Doomtrain. Either way, it would certainly make finding this thing a risky job, but it was all the more reason to take care of it.
It also seemed that Roxas was right in his supposition about the mystery train being restricted to the tracks, but that was a fairly obvious thing to assume. After strolling back and fourth around Sunset Terrace a few times, stopping and asking just about everyone she met... Song was ready for an early bedtime. More importantly, though, she'd compiled the various reports she'd picked up and determined that the most frequent sightings of the train had taken place on the edge of town, in a shady district that the tracks passed over twice - once on ground level and once along one of those graceful arcing bridges.
Early the next morning, as soon as she'd finished wolfing down some toast and her mandatory cup of green tea, she took the free ride from Sunset Station to Central to wait for the others, armed with her glaive and a pocket-sized notebook.

Traaaaaaaaaaaiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiinssssssss @.@

Braaaaaaiiiiiiiiiiiiinsssss x_x
Date: 2010-09-09 12:50 am (UTC)He really wasn't too badly injured when one considered that he fell off of a moving train. Still, he would take the fussing as long as it was quiet fussing. A lecture would earn some sharp responses.
Zombie train?! D: Well, it kind of is...
Date: 2010-09-09 03:16 am (UTC)Hey, she was allowed to tease. It happened to be her favorite de-stress method. For example, no one but her knew how difficult it had been to refrain from commenting about Josiah, Paris, and French-kissing...

Date: 2010-09-09 03:39 am (UTC)Aria fussed quietly over Roxas for a moment before deciding to cast a Cure Bubble on him. Cure probably would have fixed him up but, she felt the fact that she chose to stick him in a bubble would stand in nicely for whatever comments she could have made about him falling off the train.

Date: 2010-09-09 10:07 pm (UTC)If he wasn't mistaken, he may have drifted for a moment as a healing spell was cast, but something seemed different about it...
'What the hell...?'
... He was in a bubble. This was anything but funny. If it was a commentary on recklessness, he hadn't been trying to fall of the train.
"What was that for?"

Date: 2010-09-10 12:38 am (UTC)Aria snickered at Roxas. "Any excuse to put someone in a bubble."

Date: 2010-09-12 11:31 pm (UTC)As to the train, it would shrug if it could, "I have seen a few worlds. At least, those that have train tracks."
((OoC: 'Blaine the Train is a pain...' *head desk* I knew there was somewhere I'd read of a talking train speaking to passengers inside of it... I never did finish reading the Dark Tower series...))
