I see.

[ he just nods

it is so obvious that he's judging. but it's fine. ]

[alteracion]

[ it's not her backstory he can judge simon's abandonment issues from a cat but. she has to ask: ]

What?

[dotcom]

Weird.

[ just

weird ]

[alteracion]

Oh, yeah. Denizens freaked me out when I first got onto the train too. But the cat's at least, you know, a cat. Not the weirdest thing in there.

[ there was also a gorilla with tubas in there. ]

[dotcom]

So, that was the train?

... you've been on it for a while then.

[alteracion]

Sure. Time's a little hard to keep track of, but... it's been about eight or nine years now?

[ so. so casual ]

[dotcom]

[ why would a 11 year old go on a weird magic train, grace ]

How long were you with the cat kid?

[alteracion]

[ haha, yeah, why would they! ]

Oh, I've known him since he was ten. I found him when the cat left. Simon really would've died if I hadn't been there.

[ it's not braggy or sad, just kind of ... idle? sometimes kids are left to die by talking cats on a magic train. it's fine. ]

[dotcom]

And you'd been together since.

[ he glances at her arm. ]

[alteracion]

Yeah. [ she's wearing her gloves still no number for you ] He's my best friend.

[ if it sounds a little hesitant well it's not so fuck you ]

[dotcom]

You were right when you said the train was... well. More than just a train.

[alteracion]

Obviously. I'm always right. [ it's light in tone, but she shrugs ] It's special. I don't know how it was made or why, but it's pretty cool.

[ she just talked about a 10 year old nearly dying ]

[dotcom]

Are some people native to it? Or does everyone just go on it one day?

[alteracion]

No, passengers don't come from the train. It's only denizens, like the cat. Or ghoms, which are these... awful huge cockroach dog things that try and attack everything they see. They're mostly found outside the train cars.

[dotcom]

Outside?

[ explain the outside ]

[alteracion]

You know how a normal train works, right? Not the subway or something like that. [ underground trains are... different. she gestures as she speaks ] To go between cars, there's a railing that leads to the next one. Outside of that is ... we're not sure where the train is running, exactly. It's a wasteland, and the only thing in it are the ghoms. If you don't linger in between cars, you're usually alright.

[dotcom]

So I'm guessing people have been lost trying to go between the cars then.

[ sounds like a shit way to go ]

[alteracion]

Yeah. Or inside the cars themselves. The denizens aren't always "friendly".

[ quotation marks. ]

[dotcom]

If I wasn't here, it would be really hard to imagine any of that.

[alteracion]

It's not something you really get until you've been on the train, yeah. But this place is kind of close enough? But with people killing each other.

[ so, y'know. worse. ]

[dotcom]

It would be nice if we get less of that. I'm very tired of trials.

[alteracion]

Not to give the murder robot any rights, but it had a point. It might've killed Tamaki, but who knows who killed Kaz.

[ who's ? grell? ]

[dotcom]

Grell was either a self-defense kill, or someone who wanted to take her out, and honestly? Both are fair.

[ ESPECIALLY AFTER THE JACK THE RIPPER REVEAL? LIKE LMAO ]

But I wonder why Kaz...

[alteracion]

Exactly. Someone's still going around killing people for fun, and they're still alive. We'll have another trial next Saturday for sure.

[dotcom]

No doubt about it. There are still a lot of pretty dangerous people around.
