Alright welcome back. From here we'll continue. from here. Anyone that hasn't clocked in will take a coffee break until things settle. Remember you are looking for a certain target. You have until turn 20 to find and extract him. I'm having to rebuild some parts of the scene as they weren't recoverable. If the population is this low turns can come out really quickly. Please try to write in actions quickly. I'll be on a strict schedule.

Four of the team convene to the next car. Prefect notices a Kvintan couple. They are arguing from the tone. Past them a passenger tenses up and briefly looks at Julien for a moment. Prefect is suspicious. Alex comes behind Prefect and noticed the man waiting for the bathroom is rather stiff. He’s hiding something. The snow gets heavier outside and all outside the window is a blur.

At the dining hall Fortuna sits at a table while Gairan continues serving the patrons at the bar. They converse about family and work. One of the patrons complains about how the train was delayed for some reason. It seems they’re luggage was left back at the station. Over on the far table Gairan overhears a conversation over on the far table or as much as his Kvintan will allow.

???: Bahhh. Bandits? All the way out here and on a moving train no less!? Impossible.

???: I agree with Dimi. The train is already moving. There is no way anyone could just come as they please.

Lirenis stops the two Chrysian women. They seem happy to find another traveler from Southwestern Chryse like them.

Girl 1: Someone who can understand us! Where are you from?

Girl 2: Oh that hat is adorable. Isn’t it Helenus?

Helenus: It is. You sound Capitian, or you at least talk like one. Your accent is different though. What do you think Cassandra?

Lirenis is slightly taken aback by how observant this woman is.

Cassandra: Don’t scare her away now. Where are our manners. I’m Cassandra and this is my sister Helenus. We’re Chrysian nobles. What brings you here?

Lirenis bowed.

"One of my companions, Julien Delacroix de la Fleur, invited me on this rather rustic trip. He's a darling.

But the Kvintans aren't much for conversations, are they? Rather stoic, like their country.

I didn't mean to interrupt your conversation, it was just rather delightful to hear people I could converse with! I thought we could arrange a little dinner in the cabin, if we could find a few more out-landers such as ourselves to share the meal? Do you know anyone?"

In the other car, a man grabs Alex’s wrist.

El Mamut runs into the man full tilt knocking him away from Alex. This startles the other riders in the car. Alex uses this distraction to walk away. Prefect prepares for the fall out and positions himself near the suspicious purple-shirt.

Julien goes back to the other car and joins Lirenis with the twins. As they converse they notice the girls seem nervous but are doing a good job of hiding it. Northern Chrysians are more used to the cold so they’re shaking isn’t shivering. Lirenis notices they relax once they hear Julien is with Lirenis. Cassandra tells the pair that she and her sister are visiting family for a short while. Lirenis can tell that’s not the whole story. Off the corner of her eye she sees a door close. That sound from earlier must have been the door.

In the dining hall, Gairan and Fortuna continue their surveillance. They aren’t the only ones watching however. The din of the dining car grows louder. People are growing impatient and want their orders taken.

Processing will resume tomorrow. Had to host a party. Happy Father's day.

As a heads up, I may be unable to post for a day or more. My intention is to spend my next turn hidden in the restroom ensuring my Hades is charged from my shield (If I remove the Solmeryzt catalyst that would reduce target LI, the maximum damage roll of 12 is just about unable to penetrate my 10 LI+2 DR. Venmarite causes no net change since it gives +2 PEN but also +2 LI.) before concealing the Hades on my person again (remembering not to leave the restroom with Solmeryzt slotted into the charged Hades).

>>2659847

You guys are fine. I've been hit over the head with a ton of work sadly slowing me down considerably.

Update. I'm finding it hard to continue this considering my responsibilities.

It also doesn't help just how involved processing this game is. I do have another project in the works if anyone is interested. Please drop by the discord sometime
