"Coast is clear, Xan." Lucien stated with a smirk when Thunderhawk entered the bathroom. Not long after, Xan entered, looking crabby.

"That was close..." The thought of evading the paparazzi and coming up with distractions brought a small smile to her face. They must have looked silly, but at least they were safe now and could finally catch their breath. She took a seat on the small couch beside the window then closed her eyes.

Lucein however wasn't relaxing but instead decided to raid the fridge. He pulled out a half eaten bar of chocolate then took a bite. "Right, way too close for comfort. It was fun though, yeah?"

"You're concept of fun is very different from mine." Before Xan could say more Thunderhawk exited the bathroom.

Lucien gave him two thumbs up. "Not half-bad, of course it's not as good on you." He snickered teasingly before Thunderhawk pulled out two sodas and tossed one at him. He caught it and popped the can open. Ah...orange. Lucien took a sip and grinned in a silly manner when Thunderjerk mentioned his taste in clothes. The summoner simply shrugged.

"Sounds good, we should go as soon as we can." Xan added in before she excused herself to get freshened up. However, she didn't have her own clothes with her so she ended up borrowing one of Lucien's shirts and a pair of pants. Thankfully, he had a belt and while they were a tad too big they were WAY better than the clown costume. She emerged from the bathroom in the bear sweater that reached the tips of her fingers, looking less crabby.

"Los Paraisos is a large area, where do you think we'll find the others?" She glanced at Lucien then Thunderhawk.

The summoner shrugged. "Maybe they went to get breakfast, yeah?"

"Most likely no. Thunderhawk, do you have a plan? If not...then our best chance of finding them is walking around and asking if anyone has seen a particular group of people." Xan had only been with them for a day but had noticed that catastrophe seemed to follow the pride around. If that was the case, then they wouldn't be so hard to find, right. She nodded at both men. "Let's march." She walked out the door briskly with Lucien trailing behind. Most of the paparazzi were gone, so it was easy to look around. However, neither Xan nor Lucien could spot anyone from the pride.

The Midnight Train to Nowhere

Oh, oh, and Kimchi, by any chance do you know where the sixth image you posted is from D:? I can't load the entire pic, but I can see the upper portion of it and it'sssss so pretty *q*

The Midnight Train to Nowhere

KIMCHI, THOSE PICS! I totally agree with Pach and Aki. They're so pretty *q* I'm going to save them and lock them away in my picture folder <3 Also that bear is so cuteeeee.

Awesome posts guys <3 I loved them all!

Ace is so nice :3 and AHAHAHAHA did the swamp water get Jasper drunk. Poor, poor, girl. By the end of this chapter she'll have so much regrets. D: Kimchi, you're really trying to make her suffer, aren't ya? Well...I LOVE IT. And Phones :P hehe no promises. You see Gary is a loose canon (Well, that's what I think? xD Am I right, Kei-chan) so if he gets on her nerves she might get all Physical, but Luke and ??? will play nice now. Haha, poor Haku :3

Here, this'll make him feel better.



More fishies <3





Haha, hope you all have a grand weekend :D anddd group one, I'll move you guys along tomorrow night so we can catch up with the action at the caves. Group 2 I'll move you along on Monday evening. Lastly, what's everyone up to (^w^)/?

The Midnight Train to Nowhere

Pfft <3

Mrs. Cinnamon bun should have hair like that!

And thanks for the heads up, Four ^^ best of luck with midterms.

Lastly, information on the kidnappers will not be provided :P the less you guys know, the more fun it'll be. ;) We have some stuff planned. You're free to make guesses involving them, but just know they aren't NPCs and will be important later on. Gary and Sacha will be played by Kathi and Kei-chan so if you want to involve them in plans or something you'll need to ask Orpheus and Crescendo.

*Cue mad cackling in the distance* Be veryyyy afraid lost souls. MWAHAHAHAHAH

andddddd we'll be welcoming Anon and Pach soon <3 I'm so excited!

The Midnight Train to Nowhere

Posted xD! I kept you guys waiting for almost a week and I'm sorry. But finals are over, so I'll have a lot of time to pester everyone :P

The train will now resume its trip and the three day rule will be back in effect. As usual those who are busy should drop a warning on the OOC. It's great to be back *Glomps everyone*

Group one ^w^ I'll be sending you to the caves soon and group two just chill with the kidnappers for the mean time. This won't last long.

How is everyone doing on this grand duskmorn? And anyone wanna kill zombies with me 8D?

CLICKY CLICKY 8D

The Midnight Train to Nowhere

"A hungry bear does not dance...

She wasn't really listening anymore. Instead, the girl focused on the pipe on the ground and the light tinge of red that was smeared on it. The humans were here now. The newest batch, the batch with the list. She eyed them up and down, they were an interesting cast. The boy introduced himself as Zabluda then asked if he could make a deal. It made her chuckle, they weren't here to bargain. They were here to put an end to the madness. He kept talking, but it was nothing but a dull buzz in her ears. The only thing she had really heard were his words about a hungry bear. How silly, everyone knew that Rory the bear danced for Honey.

"Rory dances for honey." She stated in an informative tone, as if she were speaking to a child who didn't know that dogs barked and that cats meowed.

She picked up the fallen pipe only to see Gary running around with her pole. ??? stared and watched as her friend whacked the captured human on the head. She didn't laugh, but simply stared on blankly. What mattered now was the list, not some dancing bear. If he didn't talk she'd ask the others.

"You," she pointed a Mado and Leon with her pipe. "Have you seen the list?" The girl wasn't trying to be threatening at all. She asked as if she were looking for a simple item that she had lost and needed to find once more.

"Ey, Gary." Luke frowned. "Put that away before you poke out someone's eye. Last time you nearly impaled Mrs. Cinnamon bun...it could have gotten really messy." Compared to ??? he looked calm and carefree. He held Leila's hands behind her back but didn't try to act tough at all, he simply stood tall with a grin. "Y'know if you tell us where it is it'll go better for all of us in the long run." He watched as Gary continued speaking to the boy in the coat then looked to Sacha. "Make sure she doesn't blind anyone, okay?"

For kidnappers they were a weird bunch and all dressed in hooded cloaks that matched. They had no order and judging by the way things were going, weren't the most organized criminals out their either.

"..the list is important....wish the entrance, but the exit...." The girl with braided hair spoke up.

“What list?” Another voice, this time from a boy with a feather earing.

"Mhm," Luke appeared really. "That list is important which is why we'll be needing it, for the greater good of course." He twirled his pipe in one hand and held Leila in place with the other. "We're on your side." Luke said with a hearty chuckle.

??? stared on and the rained poured. "It's all a game."

~ X~x~X~x~X~

Alligators. Crocodiles.

Maybe...maybe it would be better if they left the swamp to the others. No, no, they had to be brave. He gulped in a breath of air and gave both Jasper and Ace a nervous smile. The swamp area was dreary and depressing, but they had news to deliver. They were one step closer to solving this crazy case and it made him feel good. A few moments after asking his question he noticed how Ace went quiet, but he didn't question her. If she or Jasper didn't want to talk about the wish then he wouldn't ask because it was kind of personal, wasn't it?

"There's a lot of things I want, but I don't know what I wished for."

He gave her a smile. "Did you see anything on the train or did you just decide to hop on?" The thought of Ace hopping on the train on a whim wasn't hard to imagine. He had known her for less than a day but she was spunky and brave. Someone who would probably hop on a magical train the first chance she got. The thought cheered him up a little.The trio walked on and Jasper bumped into him. The boy let out a yelp as he nearly fell over, but she yanked him by the shirt before he could fall flat on his face.

"T-That was close." Jasper proceeded to apologize and he shook his head to say it was alright.

The girl then proceeded to tell them about Rosen and Harper felt a pang of pain. "Sorry I asked." He muttered, not wanting to unearth bad memories. "I know what that feels like." He offered Jasper a sympathetic yet weary smile. "I jumped on the train to save my sister." Speaking about it hurt, but in a way getting it off his chest lifted a load of his shoulder. He would have said more but before he could speak Jasper tumbled into a hole full of foul smelling, icky green slime.

"Ace!" He scrambled towards the hole. "Give me a hand." The boy reached out for one of Jasper's hands and with Ace's help managed to pull her out. She was covered in a weird goop he couldn't name but it wasn't acid and he was relieved. Not long after it began raining and Harper frowned at their horrible luck. "We should get her somewhere safe..." his eyes landed on a cave in the distance. "Maybe we can wait for the rain to stop in there?"

The Legend of Heroes: Tales of the World

"Mannnn," Lucien let out a yawn before looking right and left. "Can't believe we lost them, Xan. We're never going to find them now." He pouted childishly before deflating like a balloon. Los Paraisos was huge and their were so many people. Plus, his head was hurting, this was freaking crazy. He rubbed at his eyes before once again scanning the faces in the crowd. Nope, nope, he couldn't see anyone familiar. "Hey, since we lost them and all maybe it wouldn't hurt to take a nap?" He asked with a silly looking grin. "I'm sure they wouldn't mind." I mean, it'd be wiser if they took the time to nap off their headaches. Besides, the chances of them running into anyone were pretty low.

Xan stared at the summoner in disbelief. This...this was terrible and he was asking for a nap? They had more important things to worry about at the moment and his request, it had been impractical. "No time," she stated with a frown. "This isn't good...we need to find the others."

Lucien sighed. "But there are so many people."

"Which is why you better start looking." She mumbled blankly. She didn't have time for this. He was just as weird. Why did she always have to get stuck with the ones who never took anything seriously. Xan gritted her teeth, as her bead began to throb. A nap would have been fine and dandy, but at the moment they needed to get things done.

Lucien let out a groan and she turned to see the summoner sprawled out on the floor, eyes screwed shut.

It was their leader and he was stark naked. Xan stood still, caught in a moment of shock. THIS wasn't what she had expected when they told her she'd be sent on a mission to Los Paraisos. "What...what are you doing?" The girl tried to keep calm and professional but the look of shock was evident on her now red face. She kept her eyes on the floor, growing redder by the moment.

Lucien sat up only to gaze at Thunderhawk in his birthday suit. "Yeah, I didn't need to see that." Lucien snickered a little, relishing in the awkwardness of the situation. It wasn't a pleasant sight at all but Thunderhawk looked terrified and Xan, she had turned the other way. He couldn't help but laugh a little because it was funny. "So, yeah? Why are you naked?" He asked as if it were a normal question. "Did ya go skinny dipping?" The summoner was grinning teasingly now, but he jolted upright when Xan cleared her throat.

"Now's not the time to joke around...do you have your keys?" Xan would have tossed hers at their leader if she had them, but all she had at the moment was the clown suit.

"Keys? Oh, yeah, yeah." He fished it out of his pocket then held it above his head like a trophy.

"Great, now would you mind um, getting our leader out of here?" Xan asked as she continued to gaze at the carpet.

The summoner grabbed Thunderhawk by the arm and pretty much ran like hell to his room. On the way some people screamed, but Xan made sure to trail behind and distract the others. Eventually Lucien found his room and pushed Thunderhawk inside.
