[call her crazy, but Elle's settled into one of the cars and is currently milling through the rest of the train, trying to get a signal on her cell phone]

All I want is one bar... one half a bar, I'll settle for just the little AT&T logo... something.

[He looks incredibly tired, and is perhaps on his way back to his corner of the train when he notices her milling about the car. At first, he's about to ignore her completely when he stops to do a double take.

Hmm. She has something small and electronic-looking. It kind of looks like the little phone Lavi had with him at the bar, a month or so back. Intrigued Sam is intrigued.]

Something wrong?

[she shakes it for a moment before she realizes - a) that won't do anything - and b) someone is talking to her]

Huh? [pays more attention] Sorry... I was trying to see if I could check my email, but my phone - [more useless shaking of the phone] has opted to not find a signal.

[splicersammy]

So you have one of those phones, too...

[No, Sam doesn't realize he must sound strange. Pardon a guy who lived at the bottom of the ocean, where they didn't have cell phones.]

Can I take a look?

[idontdig_graves]

[glances to him blankly and shrugs]

Have at it. The damn thing has been giving me zero bars all along this section of cars.

[holds out the phone for him]

I'm Elle.

[pokekyon]

I'm afraid that won't work... This stupid train has worse reception than the caves in Mt. Mortar...

[idontdig_graves]

So I'm noticing. I guess I can just look for a laptop, see if someone can let me borrow it.

I was expecting an email from someone. [glances to the person] Sorry, manners, I'm Elle. [extends the phone-less hand out]

[pokekyon]

Nice to meet you Elle, I'm-- [Hey, what's that blue thing behind him?] WOOOBBUFFET!! --... and that is Wobbuffet. He always seems to do that when I introduce myself... Anyway, you can call me Kyon.

[she's gonna take a tiny step back, since she didn't expect that at all]

Wow. Is... is it alright? [eyes it curiously, she's seen some demons in her day and they haven't ever looked like that]
