What a lovely train
I sure hope nothing terrible happens on board
I stumble out of Penn Station, my face covered in blood, All my clothes are torn, in my hand is a cassette tape with all the tape pulled out, I fall to the ground and mumble "the Blue Morning Comes" before my consciousness fades.
As my body hits the floor, time seems to freeze all around you, the people startled and screaming all seem to have stopped, inablr to move. The only figure still moving is a man in a blue and yellow suit is staring at you, in one hand he holds a pokectwatch, in the other he is throwing a plum up and down, taps his foot impatiently, the sky has turned to a dark navy despite it being midday
The man then checks his watch, looks annoyed and Vanishes. Time returns to normal as the whole of New York seems to have forgotten my body, every has returned to normal. A postal worker runs into you, she seems apologetic, saying "sorry" and "oh my look at this mess, what have I done, oh God he's going to fire me". As she haphazardly gathers up the letters and packages that fell out of her bag, you notice that she left a small green box my your feet. On it, it reads your mother's maiden name, and a date in 1993. The box is made of velvet and feels heavy despite its small size
What do you do now
>chase after the postal worker
>go into Penn Station
>investigate my body
>open the box
>up your phone and find the nearest gay bar
Gay bar
As you begin to walk down the street, you notice that all the cars are moving backwards, time has started moving backwards as you walk the movement of time has gotten faster, but the time you reach the bar, you see it covered in Silence=Death posters, you hear a man mentioning that by 1987, he would have expected a real cure. The green little box that you Shoved in your pocket has gotten heavier
@happilyatomiccomputer @dale-aficionado-blueberry you pull the green box out of your pocket, it feels so light in your hand now. You shuffle over to a table in the bar and open the box, inside is a small brass unicorn, in the back of the bar you notice the man in the suit, his suit is pink this time, he is strutting towards you, he seems angry
throw the unicorn at the man
You pick up the unicorn and throw it at the man, it Vanishes in the air before it hits him, it has returned to the box
As the man approaches the colors of the room slowly become more and more pink, and the room gets longer and longer keeping the man from reaching you. A pretty man rollerskates over and asks if the man in the suit was bothering you. He is wearing jeans, a pink t shirt, a yellow coat and a has a scruffy face, in one hand he is holding a cigarette, in the other, he is moving his hand in strange ways, his hand is glowing blue
The Unicorn begins to shift around in the box as the man in rollerskates gets closer. It grows slightly larger and shakes around when he reaches the table. In the windows the city outside the bar has vanished, replaced by a pink void
You seem panicked by the Unicorn, you run to the door and pull it open, the room returns to its normal size, a gust of wind seems to be pulling you out of the bar you toss the Unicorn into the void, it goes till it is a spec in the oblivion, the boy in Rollerskates kisses you on the cheek and tells you “Welcome to the oblivion Cafe and bar, the only place in the whole 17 boroughs and timelines free from the trappings of time.” As you look across the room, you notice the Unicorn is back in the box
