Bassoon, Day 25 - All Cabins

[This is up as soon as she figures out A- she is trapped in her cabin, and B- that these still work.]

These things still work. It's not the best, but it's what we have.

I know we're trapped and the Inspectors are coming. Yes, I feel the dread as well, no, I don't know why. Yet, and it is hard to think of it as one, the upside is at least we can still use these. We should make use of it. Think of it like getting to know everyone.

I'm Eva Iden'no. I come from a world with pokemon -think hardier animals with superpowers- and I have one with me called Princess. He's a pippi - Klefairy in 'English'.

I'm in Cabin 1:C and Team Orange; the only original Orange from when people were first brought aboard.

This is ridiculous. Why in God’s name would you want to play a get to know you game at a time like this? We should be planning ways to fight the inspectors when they come. Get our freedom back. Maybe even find a way home.

Idiot.

This is Fëanor.

Good that at least those are working. I'd like everyone to speak up. Are we all in our cabins? Is there anyone unaccounted for?

Eva, how is your Cabin? Everyone there?

And Joss, stop being an obnoxious brat. The lady has a point. You don't want to be part of it? Fine. But she is making a reasonable suggestion so unless you have something equally reasonable to add or a problem to report, do refrain from commenting.

I woke up not long ago and I'd imagine we are and everyone's accounted for in my cabin, Princess included.

It's going to be hard to not comment. These things go to cabins, not people. Even if they did, we're still with others, so what we say and is said to us will be overheard.

Outside my idea, we could play truth or dare.

I do not forbid him to speak. He'd just better have something more to say than an insult.

[There's a considerable pause before Fëanor speaks again.]

What's truth or dare?

[He understands it's a game. He's just never heard of it.]

It's a game where you ask truth or dare to someone and they pick one. If it's a truth, they get asked a question and they must answer honestly. Dare is when they're given a command or some kind of action to do.

Dares must also be reasonable and back home, pokemon battles were disallowed and sometimes even the involvement of pokemon at all.

No battles then. I see.

Any question?

Within reason.

We do have kids on board.

[That last part is Grumpy.]

Of course.

[Some true kids, some not so much.]

So no battles. What else then can be a dare?

Well, you can dare someone to kiss another player, or arm wrestle, or the like. Or solo dares, like sing a line of a song, or dance. Things like that.

Being an obnoxious brat is my job. So is, apparently, being the only person who wants to use this opportunity to overthrow our captors and get the hell off this bloody train.

Right.

Well. I'd love too as well, but the last time I saw Princess as a ball of growling puffed up fluff and wings was when there was a wild, feral gengā lurking- they eat the souls of people and are apex predators. For all I know, these Inspectors are the same.

So. Forgive me for wanting to keep everyone calm and not panicking.

Oh? How was I unaware there's an actual position to fill and that we've been graced by a true professional in the venerable art of being a nuisance.

I doubt you're the only such person as you claim. I would just like to be sure that those Inspectors, whoever they are, are really connected to people who control the train.

They likely are, but I- I don't know and while I want answers I-

I don't know what we should do.

We don't even know if they should be fought.

We need more information before we go off half-cocked, and currently, we don't have that.

And, at the very least, getting to know each other will keep us occupied on the now.

Torturing people is an excellent way to get information. Why not capture at least one?

Joss! Calm down. [Okay that's tricky because it's really scary right now. Romeo knows he sounds scared and he's trying to keep his spirits up. But he doesn't want Joss shouting at people.] Miss Eva was only trying to help keep everyone's spirits up!

They just want to check our tickets, so I don't think we got to fight them!

I can't calm down, Romeo. Not when there's that music in my head and I feel as if I'm about to go mad.

If we don't fight them, how do we escape?

I know, it's really scary! But you're really brave Joss! It will be fine.

[A pause before that last bit...] Where would we go Joss? I don't think we can go in the void and if they are ticket inspectors they just want to look at our tickets, right?

Attaboy, kid!

[It's a little awkward since he was complimenting someone who his roommate was currently talking to, but he was a proud grin on his face.]

Don't back down, you know you're right.

Do you have your suit with you in the cabin, Stark? I've seen what that thing can do in those videos you showed me.

I always have my suit with me.

[Pause.]

Well, not always always. But yes, it's here and I'm not afraid to use it.

Good to hear.

I seem to have found myself with a souvenir from our little field trip. Quite a lovely piece, too. There's delicate scrollwork on the pommel and hilt--I think the drunkard I liberated it from on our final night must have been someone of some importance.

I should be fine.

[Lies. All of it (except for the stolen dagger--that, he has). He's shaking so hard he can barely type.]

Excellent.

[He flashes the boy a grin, pleased he has a knife.]

How proficient are you with blades? Have you been going to the lessons Ignis has been teaching? I think someone else is too...

[He shrugs, unsure who it was. He had some taser weapons he was making for the kids (and May) but depending on this answer, Joss may or may not get one too.]

Stark, I’m 680 years old. I have had a lot of time to practice with weapons.

Also, my foster mother is a ninja. An actual ninja, who set me on learning to use throwing knives over a year ago.

I’m quite capable of taking care of myself.

[Tony just rolled his eyes at that.]

Fin- Actually, that's a good question to add to the questionnaire. Thanks for the idea.

[He makes a note somewhere off screen to ask about weapon skills. When he turns his attention back to the brat, he gives him a look.]

If you're so skilled then are you interested in working with them as one of the teachers? You probably have a unique perspective given your size. It could be useful to the younger or smaller passengers.
