[River's currently huddled in the back of the Life-You-Never-Had theatre car. She could have picked any of the seats there - and she did at first - but the movie playing clearly disturbed her. Just moments ago a modgepodge of clips from a life (that was hers and yet not-hers) had been playing on the back wall of the carriage. Now the theatre was ( Read more... )

[River's stuck in a car where the doors at each end keep repeatedly opening and closing. Over and over. If there was a pattern to it, she wouldn't be as scared as she is, because patterns can be predicted; and if she could predict the pattern she'd be through the door. But they keep opening a little before closing again, opening a little more then ( Read more... )

[Seishirou has finally found a car big enough to let his Aeons have a bit of time in the open. That's why upon entering this car, you will be greeted by this creature. Her name is Anima and she is weak to anything Holy, but don't worry anyway -- she probably won't be attacking anyone ( Read more... )

[the intercom crackles on. A few moments of static pass before an annoyingly happy voice begins to issue from speakers up and down the train]

Good day ladies, gentlemen and passengers; and a happy New Year to one and all!

It has come to our attention that not many of you know each other. And some of you hate each other. This is a situation which must ( Read more... )

...Simon?

*stepping slowly down one of the generic carriages - one foot in front of the other, head tilted to one side, lower arms extended to brush against the seats at either side of her* *mumbles, seemingly unaware of doing so*

...olly olly oxen free...

[Further up the train there's a carriage set up a little like this. You're going to find River in a corner, staring at the chair almost transfixed and clearly not entirely 'present'. But is she ever?

She probably won't respond to you if you keep your distance. But if you get closer, maybe you'll have a chance?]
