RATS
[ The Traveler appears before you as you board your train, which appears to be a team-themed, sparse, and incredibly modern, like the inside of a commuter train. ]
Today's dream is the dream of a conductor, who, despite the worst befalling his world, endeavoured to make sure his train still ran on time. Death ravaged the land, the bloodied bodies of the fallen rising to claim the living as their prey. Decisions had to be made. He had rivals.
Did he save poor lost souls that were not on his schedule? Did he utterly crush his enemies, to assure supremacy and secure his own life? It doesn't matter. He died, in the end, along with his world.
And so to, shall you. Do you wish to attempt to avert the course of history? The story of the Undead Assault Upon The Locomotive Enthusiasts of The Year Two Thousand and Twelve is now yours, and yours alone.
Buckle up.
[ ALSO THIS BULLSHIT IS NOW BLARING OVER THE INTERCOMS ]

[He is just pulling her into a hug before she can protest. We are walking away. We are leaving them. He's sorry but this is the point of the whole game. We cannot have our cake and eat it too. Not even a crumb.]

It won't be what dooms us.
[And I can't see them as 'not real.']
It's bad enough doing this again, please just....just the kids...
no subject
Can we just get a move on. Don't make the person bleeding from her throat carry a kid just to get things started. ]

You can't know that. We have no weapons to give them. Medical supplies aren't going to hold them off. We have to pick Robin. Either them or us. ...We can't have both. That's the whole point. You have to give up something you want to get something you need.
[Watching her watching her]
......Can you trust me?
no subject
Can't you trust me?
[She clenches her fists at her side.] The penalty for a penny is half our passengers. By game rules, chances are half would be enough. Most would be better.
We can afford three.
Even if they 'aren't real,' [And she practically chokes on those words.] I can't ignore what their parents did.
I'll carry them, if I have too. I at least managed to save a few before, I didn't die in a worse situation, we can save them at least.

GRABBING A KID AND RUNNING ]

[Letting go.]
Go. Badass, Ruby and me are staying behind to cover you. I want to have a little faith in our skills.
[slight pause]
Besides now seems like a good time to stop running, hm? I am the Chosen. So try and get all our new friends to some safety.

[And oh my god, Zelos.]
[And maybe...]
[Maybe she's just gonna get mad.]
Jegus fucking Christ, you are such a fucking idiot! [Man, picking up this baby and grabbing his wrist.] I'm not letting go, so either we both die or you fucking keep up, but I'm trying not to run from me, so STOP STICKING TO YOUR SITUATION of being an idiot about life or death situations!
Got that Zelos, either you, the baby, and I get away, or I WILL DIE.
[And she will start running and will drag.]
no subject
Kind of surprising how much endurance she has, but well guess who is following after with a kid tucked under her arm. ]
