Pirila couldn't believe what she was seeing as this... Fanny person started blabbering on about things that, truthfully, didn't make a lot of sense. She apparently knew a lot of things - she'd probably had been spying for a while and was trying to win her trust by spouting random nonsense.

Catching the tube of 'ointment' that Fanny threw at her, Pirila moved Mili to stand behind her. She didn't trust this woman, not one bit. Putting the ointment down on a nearby table, Pirila stepped forward to confront the intruder, making sure to keep Mili behind her.

"Look. I don't know how you got here, and I don't particularly care either. I don't take kindly to intruders, 'doctor' or not." Pirila said, rather irritated at the woman's sudden appearance. "Since you apparently understand the meaning of the word privacy, I'm going to kindly ask you to respect ours before we unkindly remove you from the premises."

A short distance away from the Phantom Point Station, further down the railway, stands a long silent train. Known before the apocalypse as the "Continental Comet", this former express train has not moved in ages. It stands silent and immobile, a relic of an age long past.

But that doesn't mean it's abandoned. For someone has turned it into their home. Nobody knows where she originally came from, but everyone nearby knows not to get close to the person who lives here, not after the first bandits that tried to raid the train were found dead, their mouths and noses sealed with their own skin. Most people knew from that moment on that it was probably better to not get close to the train, and the deaths of whoever has tried since are reason enough for raiders and bandits to avoid the place.

It is here where Hida lives, secluded from other people. A reclusive... person, Hida has turned the train into her own home, with the observation carriage (with it's glass dome) serving as her bedroom.

She wasn't the first person to live here, but because the previous inhabitants... vanished, Hida was the only one who lived here. And after killing a few intruders she also made sure that she'd be the only person who would dare even get close to her home.

Still, she set up shop in the train for a reason. After all, it was close to something that was rather... important to her.

She also wasn't the kind of person to remain at home at all times, she'd quite often go out and do things.

Today was no different.

Hida coughed as the storm blew more ash into her face. She didn't have the same kind of immunity Pirila and Mili benefited from, but she was still immune to death by Ash. Still, being in an Ashstorm isn't a pleasant experience for her.

Having taken on the appearance of a black-haired girl in her late teens, Hida was on her way to the Phantom Point Station. Even though the storm was dying down and slowly making room for rain, the station was still one of the better places to be, especially when the weather wasn't great.

However, upon arrival at the station, she was met with an unusual sight. Outside the door were a group of people wearing masks. Though they were all wearing the same masks, one person looked different to the rest. Not only that, he appeared to have a gun pointed at his head. Was there a fight going to happen? This was interesting.

Climbing down from the rubble she was standing on, Hida makes her way to the group. She is about to raise her hand in greeting when the man wearing an overcoat seemingly shoots the man with the rifle, judging by the sound of a muffled gunshot.

Sighing, she takes a few cautious steps to the side as she watches the fight unfold.
