I've looked everywhere but I... I can't find it! It's gotta be somewhere, I'm sure of it, but...

But where would you find a train that's been kidnapped?

[a long pause while Maya thinks]

What'm I gonna do if they ransom it? All I have is... [rustling sounds as she searches her person for possible bargaining chips] some lint, a

AHHHH!

[turnaboutspirit]

OH WOW OH WOW!

It's a magic talking box. [utterly fascinated; pokes at it]

Well, that's the funny thing, magic talking box. [picks it up and starts examining it from all sides.] I couldn't find any either. But that's how I got here.

[a long pause while Maya thinks]

D'you think they stole those too?

You could use the hair band and penny as a slingshot to take out the kidnappers with.

[turnaboutspirit]

[a small gasp] Y-you're right. You're absolutely right!

[starts fiddling with the band and penny to try to make it work]

[i_themagician]

Careful! You only have one shot, so you'll need to make it count!

[turnaboutspirit]

I... it's too late. [sounds a bit heartbroken] Where will I get another penny now? WHO WILL SAVE MY TRAIN?

[monochrome_mind]

...Trains can't be kidnapped. It's impossible.

[turnaboutspirit]

[sounds a bit indignant] Yes, the can and they did because it's gone! But I'll get it back, you'll see!

[monochrome_mind]

Are you sure that you didn't disappear instead of the train? That tends to happen quite a bit around here.

[turnaboutspirit]

[examines her hands, turning them this way and that, and then the rest of her body, and then gently smacks her face with her palms]

Nope, I didn't disappear at all! It's my train that's gone.

[subtleace]

Is that...

Maya, is that you?

[turnaboutspirit]

[apparently does not recognize Hobo!Phoenix's voice. Perhaps he's been through some very rough times]
Wha--Who's this!? How do you know my name!?

[a pause]

Are you stalking me?

[subtleace]

[can't help but laugh at that a little]

(Who'd want to stalk you?)

Maya, it's Phoenix.
