TAKSHAKA
[ The Traveler steps in front of all of you, her arms raised dramatically! ]
Today, we take the first step of a very, very long journey together! This dream belongs to a young man, a criminal and his gang who on an otherwise normal heist has gotten in way over his head! Normally, this would be a nightmare, full of blood and death and abject horror!
Fortunately, I have taken the liberty of altering this dream so that it is completely safe and above all, fun! It would not do to have your first foray into the world of unreality to be so unwelcoming! The goal of this game is to survive, reach the end, and solve the mystery...
The mystery of the Train Tracker!

Didn't you just say that this is completely safe? Then why is survival one of the goals?

CAR 1
You're in the dinner car of your team's train, where some very clearly high-class people are mingling...for the most part. There's some people up at the bar that you can tell are LESS THAN SCRUPULOUS. Also, one of them is apparently a cowboy? It's 1931, for godssakes.
The cowboy appears to be telling the young nervous man a story. Something about a TRAIL TRACKER, that appears on trains to murder everyone, at which point the train vanishes...obviously a urban legend, but the nervous man proceeds to FLIP THE FUCK OUT ABOUT IT, and runs off out of the car, insisting that he needs to find the young conductor to warn him that everyone on the train is going to die.
The moment he vanishes, you hear the sound of a pistol firing, and people start to panic. Welp.
OBVIOUS EXITS ARE EAST.

Re: CAR 1
but ooh, she tries to listen in on the story and peers after the nervous young man, then jumps out of her seat the moment the gun goes off. ]
Excuse me! I need to get through!
[ as one would expect from a HERO, Sparrow does the opposite of what a reasonable person should and tries to push through the people in the car to chase the nervous man. what if he was shot?! ]

Re: CAR 1
Your hat is ridiculous.
[ This to the cowboy, but before he can get more in-depth about it, there's the sound of gunshots?! Heading east to investigate... ]
CAR 2
OBVIOUS EXITS ARE WEST, EAST, and NORTH.

CAR 3
SUDDENLY, a man in a white suit carrying a pistol walks in. The nervous man cries.
OBVIOUS EXITS ARE EAST, WEST and UP.

Re: CAR 3
The tears still bother him, though, so he glares a bit, then quickly reaches out to try to disarm the white-suited guy who is probably not a psychopath or anything. ]

He reaches up to peel off the sticker and looks at it thoughtfully for a moment. Then he takes off his cape and ties it tightly around his "wound" like a bandage. ]

Except, looking over the edge, you can see A RED-HAIRED FIGURE COVERED IN BLOOD, GRINDING A BLACKSUITED MAN'S HAND AGAINST THE RAIL.
The BLACKSUIT is SCREAMING. The figure has SPOTTED YOU and drops him, leaving him to be crushed by the train. He is now climbing towards you, incredibly fast.
