[The feed buzzes with static, cutting in and out. The background noises of a subway car can be picked out. In spite of the unusual situation, Lulu Bell sounds the same as always--calm and, perhaps, somewhat displeased.]

Who forced you on to the subway?

[thisismyjob]

The deities, I would assume.

Why am I not surprised.

Your best option would be moving to the last car and unhooking it.

[thisismyjob]

I've considered this, but there is a creature that prevents us from moving out of the cars.

...I suspect there is more to this train.

You may have to unite with the other passengers.

I would set charges along a track, but...other than the 'mystery train' passengers' reports, there's been no unusual subway activity down here that I've seen.

Unlikely.

I hardly think the deities would have their train derailed in such a fashion.

Hence why that particular one may have been removed from here. It's all too possible that you are in the Shadow City or even elsewhere, far from help.

I've only heard stories, so I don't know for certain how authentic the following is: A 'mirror' of the City. Devoid of a population and sun. Few nameless things lurk about and any stay longer than one day results in death.

We have been here for more than a day.

And have a growing body count to show for it.

It kills every six hours? How convenient for large groups.

[valentineluke]

Yours is shrinking. Best use whoever you can to aid in escape.

I have tried and will continue to try.
