The Time is 7:50 pm on a hot summer Tuesday
You're sitting in on the Valley Flyer on a Ticket to Northampton. The scenery outside the train is green and full of nature. Around you are 9 people of interest. A girl Loading her bike onto the train, a blue haired woman crocheting a sweater, a character of indeterminate gender reading a book, 2 young boys playing on their Nintendo DS, a ghost, a butch attempting to open her watercolor set, a man pointing a camera out the window and a little old lady muttering to herself. Beneath your seat lies a backpack, inside are 3 novels, a photo of John Lennon, Mineral Water and a laptop.
What do you do?
@sonar-taxlaw you walk up to the ghost, it vanishes before your eyes, but before it vanishes you can see it is wearing a suit, had long hair and a tattoo on the right arm of a rose
@arkynwolf you look on the ground and see a business card, in it you recognize the face, the ghost was named Janet and used She/they pronouns, she owned a pottery studio in New Haven
@edhelwing The train shakes and your backpack falls over revealing your books to the cabin, they are a copy of the Death and Life of Great American Cities, Murder on the Orient Express and the first Percy Jackson Book. The passenger reading the book puts down their book during the shake, allowing you to see its title: "A treasury of Irish Fairy and Folk Tales"
Do you
>attempt to clean up your backpack
>aid the butch in opening her watercolors
>talk to the old lady
>try to learn more about the ghost
>ask the passenger about the fay
>do something else(type it in)
@curseyournarrativeandmoisture the passenger seems flustered as you approach them but quickly puts themself together. They inform you that the fay are native to Ireland but came to New England in the 70s, supposedly the train stops in one of the Fae towns and they plan to find out where the fae town is and document it in the novel they are writing. It is now 8:15 and you know a lot more about fairies and nothing about the passenger
@fishofthewoods @parker-d-bloodrose as you leave the passenger you see that the butch has once again begun trying to open her watercolor set and decide to help her. You notice that she is seemingly trying to pry it open despite the lock on the case. It appears she lost the key to the case. Something made clear by her curses. Then you spot the key to the case, it's lying on the floor under the seat behind the butch! You grab the key from under the seat and present it to the butch, she seems grateful but still reserved. (:
@v0gons As you leave the butch, shegrabs a paper from her bag to begin painting. That reminds you, your bag is still a mess on the floor. You go to clean it up when you see that while your books are fine and you can put them back in the backpack, the mineral water has fallen and poured over your laptop!
