The Midnight Train to Nowhere

Post by Ryver:



The nets felt springy. A little like tofu noodles. Ran relaxed a little as he began to enjoy being rocked. Somehow down here, a couple of hundred feet below the races, everything was peaceful. He smiled a little as he closed his eyes. He hadn't felt so relaxed since... like... since that time. Gosh he was yawning for a second time. The man rolled to his side, and before he knew it he was snoring. He didn't even here Jake and the camera crew approaching him. All he heard was garbling similar to the murmuring of a small stream.

"J-j-just how long was I asleep?"

Ran continued yawning as he trailed behind the rest of the humans. He took another sip of the drink the Nobodies from the medical tent offered him. This was definitely not Ise's goop, and it sure isn't coffee. The thing tasted like cough syrup mixed with red bull and a few drops of mint. How was this even supposed to help? He bravely took another sip before chucking the whole thing into the nearest bin. Truthfully, he needed coffee or sleep, whichever came first. He blinked blearly as he saw two Tobies darting around. Niran rubbed his dry, blood shot eyes.

"Oh hey! I think they are having some sort of sale at the museum! Look at the Nobodies..."

He smiled a little, and shut up. Yeah he was well aware that he was spouting nonsense. Still notjing was clicking. Something about USBs and tea parties and the dark side and beating up people.... Weren't gangsters too rough and tumbled to enjoy drinking with the pinkies out? He murmures something incomprehensible in a mix of Japanese, English, Thai and Arabic.

His mind blanked out again. Wow those kids seem to ... oh wait there was something he finally understood. Tea parties? Of course! This was Wonderland. They always have to have tea and probably a guillotine. Oh well, where was the Cheshire Cat?

He laughed randomly before speaking up. "I do fancy some scones! Shall we buy some for our lovely hosts?"

Exams are finally over, thank celery. Happy Friday everyone :D!

Edit: Ryver's post is up. I'm gonna get started on my own post. It should be up in an hour or two or three at most :)! Instead of sending you guys onto the airship, I'll have my next post take place in the dark side. Hopefully this little time skip gets the ball rolling again.

Edit Edit: Posted ^^ it's pretty short-ish, but they're in the dark side now. The next few cycles will be spent looking around/interacting and in a week or two I'll have them reach the hooded figures' home. Guys. feel free to do whatever with the setting and surroundings :)

Also, I encourage less reacting and more pushing the plot forward~

Pirate Age

They couldn't save the man. The captain was right, they couldn't save everyone and it wasn't their job. But still, it left a bad taste in Nolan's mouth, and he spent the entire bus ride questioning his choices in life. He could see his parents shaking their heads and Annie calling him a 'goshdarn idiot' or a 'rotten potato'. It almost made him laugh and for a moment, he considered packing his bags and heading home.

He had had his fill of adventure, had sailed the seas, and had even participated in saving a town. It should have been enough, but it wasn't. Nolan wanted to see the world, to set foot on every harbor in the continent, and the answer finally came to him. This was why he had become a pirate and it was this wanderlust that made him sign up for the Stardusk pirates, that threw him into this crazy yet wonderful adventure.

He shook his head and laughed a little. He couldn't leave these people even if he tried.

The cook made his way into the tavern and scrunched his nose in distaste. How Luro and Ray managed to spend hours in places like this was beyond him. He noticed what Danny was doing and gave the girl a smile, he really appreciated it. "I'm alright now, really. Thanks Danny, I appreciate the concern." He ruffled the girl's hair affectionately, she was just like his little sister and it made him feel protective of her in a brotherly way. "Don't go drinking or anything, the stuff here looks really strong--ah, there's the captain." He noticed Runa and Alicia by a table and waved.

"Let's go join them, I'm just going to get something for everyone." He ordered a pitcher of grape juice and balanced a few glasses on a tray. Slowly, he made his way back to the table, passing by a chatting Luro, Risa, and Danny. "I bought enough juice for everyone, just head to the table if any of you want some." He plopped the tray beside the captain just in time to see Alicia leaving. "Oh, there's some juice here if you like..." he didn't know if she had heard him but he poured some into a glass and passed it to the captain.

He raised an eyebrow when he saw she already had a drink of her own. "Um, not to offend or anything captain, but aren't you a little too young to be drinking?" He chuckled then poured himself a glass of juice. "Then again...you're a little to young to be a pirate as well," his tone was playful and friendly. "So just ignore the cook," Nolan flashed her a grin, he still didn't like the place or the thought of not being able to save the man by the peer, but he shook the thoughts out of his head and swallowed a mouthful of juice.
