Hi everyone. [He offered a friendly wave.]

Okay, so, question. We're all crammed onto this train, right? And we don't have a lot of privacy, which, all right, I'm starting to get used to, but. What if we want to do something special for someone? Like...a date.

I've never done dates on a train before, I don't really know what to do. And before someone brings it up, I can't really...cook. I mean, I guess we could cook something together, but.

So, date ideas. Does anyone have them? I'd really appreciate it.

There's always the movie car. I'm sure you could find a spot for the two of you to sit away from other people.

[swansongs]

You've got a good point.

[With everyone's various replies, he was starting to realize that dinner and a movie, what he considered a traditional date, was more likely here than he'd originally thought. Sure, it'd have a certain train flare to it, but that would make it special, wouldn't it?]

The hardest part would probably be being able to pick something we wanted to watch.

[You know, without arguing with other people.]

[goingthroughaphase]

Maybe you guys could try a late-night movie. Pick a time when people would most likely be asleep so you can have the movie car all to yourselves.

[swansongs]

Oh, that's a great idea.

[He was definitely making a note about it on his list.]

There can't be that many people who stay up late.

[goingthroughaphase]

Right. And if there are...maybe you can see about locking the door.

[ It's only a half-serious suggestion. ]

[swansongs]

[He laughed.]

Or wedging it shut somehow.

[In all seriousness though, he didn't mind sharing the theater car with some other people so long as they behaved themselves.]

[goingthroughaphase]

[ She snickers. ] I'm sure there's a way to do it.

Another date idea could be a picnic in the garden car? I know you said you don't really cook, but some easy things like sandwiches and finger foods should still work.

[swansongs]

[He perked up immediately.]

I was thinking about that, too! A picnic would be nice, and it's both relaxed and kind of romantic, and you don't have to cook an extravagant meal for it, either.

[goingthroughaphase]

Yeah, exactly! Small things you can eat with your hands is a lot easier for picnics.

[swansongs]

[He made a note of that, just in case.]

Yeah. So long as we have napkins.

[He was joking, mostly. But napkins were also important.]

Thanks for the idea.

[goingthroughaphase]

No problem. Good luck. I hope you guys have fun.
