DEPARTURE

It's time to go. Most people are on the train by now. Settled into their cabins and among friends and loved ones. There are only three new arrivals left to board and once they do, Hal pulls a conductor's hat out from underneath the bar, tugs it on, and steps around it to the middle of the train. He opens his mouth to talk, voice filling the train. "It's time to go. Stops happen once a day until everyone's departed and I already have your stopped listed. If you'd like to be prioritized, let me know, otherwise we'll go in order of death. Settle in and enjoy the ride. If there's anything you need, don't hesitate to ask, folks." This, of course, means that those who died earliest (Manfred, Higekiri) will depart first while those who died latest (Barnham, Damian, Percy) will depart last. There's a stop for everyone, though those who want to get off together are more than welcome to. Hal pulls a notepad and pen out of his pocket later and people will notice that he goes around the train confirming stops with everyone. Whatever feeling Hal may have had to a character back in town isn't noticeable here -- he is simply a robot assigned with a job. After that, it's all a matter of settling in and enjoying the ride. If that's possible for you, at least.

[ You know what, let's do the pillow fort thing. Chane looks bewildered as all get out, but as requested, she returns with every pillow from her and Claire's shared cabin.

...

What dos Milla even need them for? Puzzled silence reigns. ]

[Chane is a good friend. Milla looks pleased with this collection of pillows and blankets]

Have you ever built a. . . "pillow fort?" [she asks, hands on her hips] I'd like to build one while I still have the chance, just for the experience!

[ Chane does two things in answer. First, she shakes her head, "no," and then she tries to approximate the shape of a fort with her hands, attempting to give Milla some indication of their task.

Obviously, this involves carelessly dropping her armful of cushions to their feet. ]

[thatsthespirit]

Ah! Then this will be a new experience for us both. I find that quite exciting.

[she crouches down to scoop up the cushions into her arms]

We should be able to use one of the train seats. We could drape a blanket over them to create a sort of. . . blanket cave? I suppose.

[as she thinks through the logistics of this she makes her way towards the lounge car]
