In which Seanan has a weird dream.
So yesterday, I fell asleep on the train home, and dreamt that I was sitting with soundingsea on the Orient Express. We were on our way to a multiplex theatre that was going to be showing the first 'Ultimate X-Men' movie, and we were both wearing Neptune High gym clothes. The women sitting across from us were harpies -- like, actual harpies from Greek mythology, with wings and everything. They were talking about eating the conductor.
soundingsea and I decided to ignore this, not wanting our livers eaten, and discussed the fact that we were two Lillys without Veronicas. As this wouldn't do, we got up and started walking the train, looking for some Veronicas. The train was full of very odd things and diffuse lighting and pretty stained glass windows, which was kinda keen. We found ceolyn, vixyish, and tattercoats playing a weird three-person card game in the dining hall, and asked if they were our Veronicas.
tattercoats: "I'm a Keith."
ceolyn: "Sorry. Logan."
vixyish: "I'm the Backup!"
vixyish was totally gleeful about her status, but since she wasn't a Veronica, this didn't really help us much. We carried on, though a car filled with very sad clowns, and another filled with Alliance soldiers waiting for 'The Train Job' to get started. spectralbovine was in a train car full of butterflies, but since he was a Meg, this didn't help much. We told him not to take any buses and kept going. vaspider was in the hall between cars, trying to intercept somebody's cellphone calls, which made us think she might be a Veronica, for like, six seconds, before she eyed us, said, "Mac," and shooed us off again. But in the next car, firestrike was stretched out on four seats with his sunglasses on, and he said that siklilgrl and ohimesamamama were in the dining car, and they were both Veronicas.
So we hurried off to find them, and then my cellphone rang, and I woke up.
