As he'd been doing basically nothing on the train lately (which was exactly what he wanted) all he was left to was his thoughts. Of course, that bought about the guilt. If he couldn't do a thing for his people, or even protect Aqune, he at least hoped to be competent in his skills, so when he was inevitably demoted once returning, he could work his

Nice sword.

[must_know_why]

[Pauses and nods his head, not wanting the distraction.]

What do you want?

[obscuredwarpath]

Assistance.

[must_know_why]

With what? I see no reason to help you.

[obscuredwarpath]

There is a good reason you should.

[must_know_why]

Then tell me. Then we will see if your cause is worth my time.

[obscuredwarpath]

If you assist me in the Valkyrie Express' demise, I will spare your life.

[Is a bit shocked to hear that someone is intelligent enough to share his desires of eliminating the train.]

Your threats do not concern me, as I doubt you're strong enough to defeat a member of the Big Four. However... you wish to destroy the cursed train?

[obscuredwarpath]

And Ran Billows, first and foremost.

Shouldn't the conductor be the greatest threat? She's responsible for all of this. It's obvious she's hiding many things.

[obscuredwarpath]

We will take care of her and her co-conductor as well.

::Rubs hands together:: Now, in order to facilitate this, I will need you to retrieve some things for me. I would do it myself, but it would alert those meddlesome passengers and they will put a stop to the plan.

[must_know_why]

The others are of no concern to me. As long as I have my revenge on the conductor, I will be satisfied.

What makes you think no one would notice if I were the one to collect the important things you desire.

[obscuredwarpath]

It would be less obvious if it was someone other than myself.

Of course, you would need to be careful in collecting the items.

[must_know_why]

You must be very disliked by the others on the train. Many seem so carefree and content with their life here, they probably wouldn't think anything of items disappearing.

[obscuredwarpath]

I am...disliked. Yes.

The co-conductor confiscated my staff, my sword, and my gun. They are likely inside either in his room or in the conductor's quarters.

Also...

[must_know_why]

If either of them are keeping your things, especially the conductor, retrieving them will be no easy task. However, I must escape and return home, whatever the cost.

What else?
