audio | un: wisdom | wedding day three

[mashiara]

Right, so this happened. Again. In case the lot of you who get the whole feast for a third time also see the bride go missing, a heads up:

The conductor can track any ticket or numbered staff member on board. Any. The man needs help beyond anything I have the time or ability to give, but he's far from the worst when it comes to devotions to the train. The staff serves it tea every morning. Before any of you are up. We don't all sleep, do you know? I haven't slept since I got on board.

Either way, see about asking him where she's going if she disappears again tonight.

And if any of the staff tell you about being kind to the train, praying to the train, polishing the train for the train, don't laugh where they can hear you. The chamber maids cry about it later. How misunderstood, they say, the train is. How unenlightened the ticket bearers, to not understand the train's benevolence. If I have to hear that one more time I'll scream.

Hmmm... If the train has a spirit, I wonder if I could try to talk to it.

... You can talk to spirits.

( just. flatly stating this. )

Oh, yes! I'd need to find a quiet place so I won't be interrupted because my powers are a bit dampened, but I think if there's a soul there I should be able to make contact, or at least identify that there is one.

[mashiara]

Your powers are dampened here... your powers. Which include talking to spirits.

( help her. help her, what is this place. )

Fine, try talking to the train. I give up! I have too much else to worry about. Tell me if the train talks back.

[scrapgege]

Hm, I'll let you know !
