Location: Lounge Cart
Time: All day, September 22, 2008
Warnings: None
Summary: This is our very first log! It is an ice breaker that takes place in the lounge area of the train (yes, it has one of those). The mysterious train conductor has brought everyone here so that they could meet formally and get used to each other, which may be easier said than done as they have all been spirited away to this train against their own will. This log also serves as a sample for all of you who plan to post your own in the future!

The strange woman called forth her victims to a large section of the train, which seemed fully furnished with comfortable chairs, tables, board games and the like. Tapping her fingers against the lid of her pocket watch and pursing her lips, she waited with a small hint of impatience as they all wandered in.
"This is the lounge cart of the Valkyrie Express, and our first stop on the tour of the train itself. As you can all see, this is the ideal place for you to come and relax. There are a variety of lounge chairs and table games, television, and other tools of amusement. I'm going to temporarily break the tour now so that you can explore the lounge and find things you like. Remember, they say that laughter is the best medicine. Go on, now!"
With a quick clap of her hands to signal the break, she hoped her new pets would learn to enjoy themselves on the train. She hated explaining things so bluntly, as could be seen in her nervous and rushed expression. Finished with her speech, however, she looked around to see how these new passengers would react.
