The Midnight Train to Nowhere

Posted. Do we wait for the witch appearance and just keep exploring?

The Midnight Train to Nowhere

Lesley was quite surprised to hear that all the women and even men of the group were all single and had no special person looking for them back home. He himself got around quite a bit and wasn't one to settle. What's the point of staying in a committed relationship anyway. It's better the try all the Skittles in the bag rather than pick out just one flavor... if you know what I mean. Martini probably had a long line of Nobodies admiring her and Brandy didn't look half bad either. He would've hit on the bunny-eared guide if it weren't for the uptight feels he gave off.

Jasper then pushed the romance subject off the stage and brought in the mystery of Queen Delirium. She was such a fabulous individual and so kind too. It never really crossed his mind to think that all of it was a cover up of any sort. Though as the conversation about the Queen's true identity progressed, he began to develop his own worries and doubts. Everything that had happened thus far since stepping aboard the Midnight Train thus far, were all utterly out of the ordinary and didn't seem to have a certain point to it besides having humans retrieve items. The chance of death remained heavy in air, yet the Queen does nothing about it. And why send a magical train to Earth to fetch as item hunters? The more he questioned, the more unrealistic and mischievous it all seemed.

Catching Inadi walking beside Jasper did tick him off a bit, but in the back of his head he knew that Inadi was stuborn both in personality and more than likely, it included his sexual orientation as well. The man was straight and was clearly not up for giving the other side a chance no matter how much Lesley prodded and attempted to seduce him. But the chase was always fun. In the end, the person with the correct parts would triumph, but that piece of knowledge didn't mean he would quit playing with the frame-faced fellow.

As the following trailed on, the wisps suddenly vanished into thin air as the Stone of Sacrifice came into their full view. The scenery was haunted and spooky as usual and a tension fell upon the group. Caution was key and since the witches knew of their presence last time, it was more than likely that the back-bent grannies knew of their arrival this time around too. But just in case they did not, it was better to have the upper hand by spotting the child thieves first and that way they would be able to launch the starting attack.

Jasper then announced that she would split and look for the fluff ball and ace joined her as well, calling for one of the guides as extra support. A small group looking for the dragon while the others stalked for the witches was a good idea, but he decided to stick to witch hunting since he knew the extra magic user was most definitely needed for the task.

"I think it's a good idea for us to have 2/3's looking for the witches while the remaining 1/3 go and try to find the baby dragon," he suggested in a low whisper, just enough for the surrounding crew to hear. The deserted area was quiet enough that even one step seemed to amplify much louder.

Eh. I'm such an unsociable man. *apologizes*

Anyways, typing up a post here in a bit. Goodmornight to all :)

The Midnight Train to Nowhere

Lesley was glad to hear that Martini was actually interested in seeing him perform what he was most talented at. She then carried on to tease him about modelling with Inadi at which he nudged her back. "You better!" he responded as he eyed the framed man from across the room with a mischievous giggle.

It wasn't long until the two groups rejoined at the library where they formed an untidy circle and conversed with one another whilst awaiting the Midnight Man's next instructions.

Song: “And nooo Martini I’m nooot modeling wearing the alpaca hat. It’s too fluffy to just wear! … Are you two going to wear the alpaca hat?”

With a snort, Lesley flicked his pink locks. "A model must not shun any piece of clothing. Besides, I can make anything look like the next big trend!" he stated with confidence. Leon was just as open as he was on terms of fashion he appreciated that. He could already picture them strolling down Nowhere's runaways in Martini's fantastic outfits. He was definitely looking forward to it since the clothing hear is nothing like what they have on Earth.

At this time, Avian was flitting around the room and doing a full body check up on all of them. Lesley didn't mind the attention since it reminded him of Jasper who had done the same after the battle with the dragons.

Suddenly, a deep chuckle filled the room and a black figure with red eyes could be seen sitting on one of the chairs before them. Then he seemed to teleport onto the shelves yet the movement in between the transitions could not be seen.

MM: "If you follow the light, it'll lead you to the Stone of Sacrifice. Keep your eyes on them at all times and when you get there, you must be very careful. They stabbed me right here here. Sometimes, I can still feel the cold steel buried deep inside me. Destroy their hearts for it is wicked beyond repair."

Shudders ran up and down his spine and he was glad that the creepy demon had finally left their presence. The Midnight Man's remains were of brightly lit wisps which must be the light he was speaking of that they were to follow to the stone. As it led them deeper and deeper into unknown depths of the forest, Lesley was still unsettled with the surroundings and was quite glad to be accompanied by such a large crowd of Nobodies and people. Riley and Harper began chatting with encouraging words for everyone. That they'd be alright and the defeating the witches would be a possible task.

Riley: "The sooner we get this done, the sooner we'll be able to attend on of the queen's balls." She elbowed Lesley lightly in the ribs. "I bet there'll be a ton of guys in suits, so let's give this our all!"

He chuckled at her remark and grinned at the thought of seeing Inadi all suited up and slick looking. The group members knew some of the funniest ways of cheering him on. "I'm sure I won't be the only excited one here. You ladies are still lookin' aren't cha?" he questioned the women. "Unless you guys have boyfriends back home?" he asked. It was inevitable that the Lost Souls had all left someone back on Earth, someone they loved and cared for. Even though Lesley didn't have a special someone, he did miss his parents dearly and he wondered if they were worrying about him as of now, or even had the knowledge of his disappearance.

I found unlimited Numnum pics. Look up "Sharrkan Magi" on google pics and you will drown in his tanned beauty.

Those parodies are funny XD I hated that song by Gotye. Everytime it played I would switch radio stations.

Sorry for my inactivity. Crappy connection at the hotel and 2G network everywhere else. Will get a post up tonight if I get home early or posting tomorrow morning.

New people! Wouldn't mind multiple additions. Why limit the train right?

Welcome Ryver :)

The Midnight Train to Nowhere

As the search continued, Lesley was beginning to feel a little impatient. Jasper was the only one who had managed to find something that resembled a sword, but the rest of the room was just a bunch of mangled, limbless toys. Instantly turning his head at the sound of cracking glass, which was the mirror, then all of a sudden each and every glow jar in the room also broke into smithereens. "What the hell is going?!" he freaked as he felt someone clawing at him, asking if he was Avian. Lesley knew it was Leon and he clung onto the male as well as Avian called out to them from somewhere in the darkness. A slice of lighting illuminated a dark figure in the center o the room advancing slowly towards them. Another bolt and Harper was swaying upside down in the air.

Being commanded to search for the exit, Lesley dragged Leon along with him more as a human shield than a friend until he found the know that Avian had just described. "I found the exit guys, come on!" he shouted as he fumbled to get the door to unlock and open for them. Meanwhile, he saw Jasper drop the sword, but luckily it had made it into Avian's possession. Beckoning everyone out, he looked at Avian as he skillfully threw the blade at a blinding speed right at the Midnight Man. Blinding rays of light began to break out of the open wound the attack had caused and the screeching screams magnified out of its mouth as it scratched at its chest viciously. In a flash of light and black tentacles plus the toppling of a shelf, everything was again cloaked in darkness and the room was again made even colder than before.

The lights then flickered back into life and Lesley could finally breathe a sigh of relief. Martini smiled at Leon and him, she had promised to make them model for her and he was quite delighted to hear that. Before they headed through the next passageway, another display of writing advised them to head towards the library yet Lesley was still a bit hesitant to comply. since his group seemed to follow the instructions without question, he just hoped it wasn't another trap.

Leon: "So Les, you said you were an art student. Did you design clothes?"

"Ah, no. I did splatter painting. I should show you guys sometime" he suggested as he thought about his would be audition. He still remembered his Michael Jackson painting routine step by step. In case he made it out of Nowhere alive, he was sure he'd be able to enter his dream school no matter what.
