[Holy shit. When did he wind up on a train? He does -not- remember winding up on a train. He had been taking a NAP, and was quite happily sprawled across his bed face down in some pillows last he checked thank you very much. Shit. He's going to be in so much trouble if he has picked up a sleep walking habit. Being scolded is not on his list of "

[[Here's Theta to welcome the newcomers, as per usual. She nods to him and smirks a bit at his commentary.]]

I'm afraid you're not getting out so easily. Come sit down, I'll explain a bit about this place.

[[She's standing on one wooden leg, it's a fair guess that she doesn't want to stand up long.]]

[unendingenergy]

[Woah hey what. Why's she got a wooden leg? Nope. Not going to ask. He's learned tact at least. With a grin he sort of strides over, scratching the back of his head.]

Yeah sure. Where do you wanna sit? I mean.... I don't know about you lady but I wouldn't wanna hang around here for too long. Feels kind of dangerous if you ask me.

[ergaleomancer]

I've got a little table in the shelter over here.

[[She leads him over to the shelter, there's a table, with a cup of tea she's obviously left to come talk to him. A teapot is pacing around near it.]]

It's not dangerous here, just mildly unsettling. But I sit here waiting for newcomers every weekend; it's fine.

[unendingenergy]

I don't think it's all that unsettling. I've been worse places. [He purses his lips, blue eyes watching the teapot for a moment.]

This is really inconvenient. I was supposed to get some things taken care of back home soon. [Not that... he was particularly looking forward to dealing with meetings and negotiations and political bullshit, but that's life, what're you gonna do.]

Good news is the food is free.

Bad news is you're stuck. [But hey, Lavi's grinning anyway, friendly enough.] Welcome to Ruby City. We've all been kidnapped, and we're all pretty pissed off about it.

[unendingenergy]

[Free food? Sign him up, he is there yesterday]

That sucks. The stuck thing. But at least the food's free. I would be really pissed if I had to pay these jerks for food. ...What are they anyway? They're not human! That much is pretty obvious!

[Oh hey wait.] What's your name, eyepatch? [He grins happily, having not meant anything negative by the comment]

[weaponsofwords]

[Lavi nods in agreement.] Tell me about it. Ah well, not sure really what they are these days. The old guys were vampires. These newer ones? Not so sure.

[Blinks.] You can call me Lavi. What's yours?

[unendingenergy]

I hate vampires. They're smelly and really stuffy and they drink blood. That's really kind of going the extra mile to be really creepy. They're just trying too hard!

[He grins at the name, mouthing it a bit to try it out.] Lavi. Great to meet you! I'm Cale. What kinds of things do they have to eat around here? [Cause human food is great, but...]

[wrotethissong]

[ See, Marceline is new here too and she doesn't know what the heck to make of all of this yet, beyond what she read in the posters. When she sees someone else in the vicinity, shouting no less, she sort of floats over in his direction, arms crossed and looking a bit too smug to someone who is equally lost. ]

You know, I'm pretty sure you're gonna have to do better than screaming at the endless void to get their attention, whoever they are.

[unendingenergy]

[Oh. Hi strange looking floating lady. Cale pulls himself to his feet before sort of walking around her, like he's trying to figure her out. He's never seen anyone float before!]

Yeah, probably not, I guess. But you never know! They could be using spy cameras or something. They use those in movies all the time. [He loves spy movies.]

Are you lost too? Bummer.

[wrotethissong]

[ Marceline doesn't seem to mind that so much, though she does arch an eyebrow, amused. ]

Mmm, I'm just gonna go with no vigilance. I mean we've got these [ she waves her communicator around a bit ] already. You could say I'm kind of lost too, yeah. [ A shrug. ] It could be worse.

[unendingenergy]

[Oh man, see. He's kind of wondering what you are Marceline. Because you're not a human, that much he can tell. He's broken from his pondering though when she talks.]

It could! We could be stuck in a hole at the bottom of the ocean, or burning alive, or really a lot of things. Stuck in an abandoned city isn't all that bad.

....So, you're obviously not human, what are you anyway?

[video]

[breaking_candy]

There are no magical trains home~. You're stuck here~.

[Honesty. Deal with it.]

[unendingenergy]

Looks like magic to me! I mean, Last I remembered I was spending some quality time with my pillows and bedsheets, not taking a nap on a train headed to creepytown, nowhere. So unless I'm having a really vivid dream, something weird happened.

Who's in charge of this place? Do they even show their faces?

[breaking_candy]

This is definitely not a dream. Or it could be~. I wouldn't know! I'm just another poor soul stuck here, just like you~.

I don't know who's in charge. Not yet.

[unendingenergy]

[He shrugs, grinning a little. Trolling or not, Break, it's kind of lost on him.]

We're in the same boat then! Might as well use that as an excuse to be friends, right? What's your name, anyway?

[badatmyjob]

Did you say you were hungry?

[unendingenergy]

[Oh man, did you really have to ask? He grins at this video.]

You have no iiiiiiiidea. I'm starving! [So maybe he gets a little whiny here, pouty even.] I wasn't expecting to---

[Waaaaaaait. After a moment of staring, Cale lifts a hand to point as subtly as he can manage at the place on his head where horns would be. If you know, his kind had them. But mostly He's trying to draw Lukas' attention to them. ...He's also not being subtle at all.]

....pssssst [Stage whisper. An over exaggerated one] Hey. Your uh. They're showing, guy.

[badatmyjob]

Find our cafe and you'll get the best food in town~

Huh? [Lukas looks at his shirt, and then... his pants because he's not sure what you're talking about. Maybe his fly was open, who knows.] What are?

[unendingenergy]

[He's temporarily distracted from his rumbling stomach as he sort of stares at Lukas like he's lost his mind. He makes one more exaggerated attempt at displaying what he's talking about, mostly by holding his hands up at the sides of his head and making claw shapes with them. See. HORNS. This is his impression.]

Your horns! They're showing! Pretty sure they're not supposed to do that you know. I mean, humans don't have them so uh. [Shrug. His hands are still making hornshapes.]
