Yes. [He says, and then pinches the bridge of his nose with his free hand.] Teach me to go around saying yes to deals without the fine print actually written anywhere.
[Grace is such a mood and he will follow suit. Though, curiously:]
I think I've heard you mention a train before. [In blips of over conversations when he's not busy napping in trials...] Did you just live on one or something?
For a second I thought you were going to ask me what a train was too. [ in an exhausted tone, but between fry chewing: ] It's a special train. It's enormous, goes on forever, and it doesn't make any stops. It picks up passengers who are special. That's how I got my number. [ she gestures with the arm that has it, though she doesn't bother taking off her glove ] All the cars are like their own little worlds. I guess it's sort of like this place, except people aren't killing each other every week for fun.
Nope! It's 2018 where I'm from. [A MODERN. How unfortunate.] That's pretty cool, though. How many people are on it? How does it choose its passengers? Just - people who stand out above everyone else? Or do you have to have some kinda spiritual aptitude or something?
Mm... Pretty much? [ in the tone of someone who has not really been thinking about an endgame ever. ] It's... sort of like this place, where you can do whatever you want. Your number goes up the better you are at the train. The conductor's got the highest number I've ever seen.
[It's a system he seems to grasp, at least... There's a little nod of understanding!]
Oh! So it's still kinda like a competition then, huh? What's the conductor's number? Does that mean the person with the highest number gets to direct the train?
It's so high, it goes all the way up to their neck and their other arm. [ said in a very awed tone? ] And I think so? I'm one of the only people who's seen the true conductor. He saved my life when I was young.

Mmm... Better than nothing, yeah. Geez, though, we're gonna run out of people before we finish indulging at this rate.

At least when I climbed up on the train, that was better.

[ she munches thoughtfully on another fry ]
I don't know for sure. Spiritual aptitude, I think? It's magic. There's no greeting pamphlet for the train.
no subject
[A magic spirit train that goes on forever... Sounds about right to him.]
What do you do there? Just explore things forever?
[Or until death do they part?? He's assuming even magic train humans still have a human lifespan.]
