Train station

@† Kim Myungsoo Yooa glanced over Myungsoo's shoulder as she looked out of the window watching the sky turn colors. She hoped that they made it to the courts before it got too bright and would bother Myungsoo. She turned her gaze and attention back to him as she smiled. "Yay, i would love to show you the summit and the castle - it will be so much fun!" She answered as she leaned on him a bit, hopping in her seat and thinking about showing him around the summit and the castle. Also, maybe even prosing when he did to have that sleepover that they talked about before. Yooa shook her head. "It's okay - no big worries," Yooa smiled at him. Yooa watched as he leaned his head out and smiled as the sweets the trolly was pushing. She leaned up and leaned over him to see what was on the cart - her chest inches from his face as she beamed at the sweets. "Uh, can I have some sugar cookies, some Turkish delights, sweet taffys, and some chocolate chip cookies?" Yooa smiled as she turned to look at him. Sweets and candies were like her main food group so ordering this much was light for her.

@❇︎ Yooa ¥✔ As the sun slips below the horizon the soft muted colours of twilight begin to climb the western sky. Now comes the slowing down time, those long drawn-out moments between day and night, work and rest. It's time to sit, to think, to be. In those moments of imperfect clarity he foresee the shadow of this day. Myungsoo shifted far from the window in preparation for the light that will later on graced the land. The young vampire only hoped that they arrived safely - not him being subjected to the harsh rays of the sun. "I won't have trouble visiting you then." He said looking forward to travel to the summit and see where Yooa currently lives. "That's silly of me. Of course." He sheepishly laughed, rubbing his nape. Myungsoo stick his head out and noticed two ladies already going around pushing a cart filled with goodies. The young man let goes of the fairy's hand to grab few coins from his pocket. When the cart stopped next to him, Myungsoo greeted the ladies as they returned it warmly. "Which ones do you like?"

@† Kim Myungsoo ( lol, rui is a little robot dragon ))

Yooa gaze had turned to look out of the window as she had never taken this train track to the court before - so they changed to the more everglade forests and the sudden twilight landscape was something that she had never seen before - so her eyes sparkled at the new landscape taking it all in. She would have never traveled out this way if it weren't for Myungsoo bringing her out here so she was happy that he had invited her this way. She was also very excited to see the different flowers and plants that this land that wasn't in her native land. Her fingers stayed curled around his own hand as she turned her gaze back to him as he spoke. Yooa tilted her head to side as she thought about it then nodded. "Yeah, that sounds about right - the summit and meadows aren't far from the court just a bit farther out," Yooa then giggled a bit. "Rui doesn't need to eat - he's a robot. I usually just have to charge him every once in a while," She informed him as she thought about a snack that would be easy to eat on the train. "Hm, do you think that they would have some cookies or candy? Something easy to eat on the train would be fine - if not, then I can wait until later," Yooa told him.

@❇︎ Yooa ¥✔ The moment the train began to move, the scenery outside transformed into a blur of colours that twisted and turned, a vivid blend of forest greens and twilight blues. Myungsoo smiled, his eyes wide as he marvelled at the landscapes passing by—each more enchanting than the last as if it was the first time. Maybe it is because the fairy is with him that he can truly appreciate this ride on his way home. So, despite few sore eyes turning to see a vampire and a fairy, Myungsoo never let go of Yooa’s hand. “Ah…sounds like a bit of travel. But it shouldn’t be that far from our realm then.” The vampire commented, brimming excitement because of this information. “Are you hungry?” Myungsoo asked, leaning forward pointing at the owl. “How about Rui?”

@† Kim Myungsoo Yooa smiled back at him, wanting to poke one of his fangs to see how sharp that they were. But, of course, that was part of him so she couldn't just poke it, plus she figured her bleeding wouldn't be good for either of them so she kept her hands to herself. She stayed by Myungsoo's side as they made their way to the train station, holding his hand and not letting go. She had ridden the train a few times - not too many. It was usually just going back to the castle, to the fields, or around heleo that she mainly stayed in. This would be her first time really outside of places that she knew like the back of her hand. She stood next to him while they were in line to get tickets. She had some gold coins in her hand to help pay for her ticket, but Myungsoo had already gotten their tickets. She did slip a couple of gold coins in his jacket pocket knowing that he probably wouldn't take her money even if she had offered to pay him back.

Yooa had always wondered what the courts were like since her mom was previously from there and was a vampire. She never talked about it with her since it didn't seem that important for their relationship or that important in general for Yooa to know about. That was a part of Bambi that would never affect how she saw the other. She also hoped that the older wouldn't be upset about her visiting a place that did harbor not-so-great memories for the other. She couldn't help but chuckle glancing over to Myungsoo and seeing him being excited to get on the train and head home. She wondered if she wasn't there with him would he still be excited about going home?

"I know, this isn't my first time riding the train," Yooa quickly followed him on the train. Rui kept himself perched on Yooa's shoulder the whole time, simply scanning their surrounding as they walked. She followed behind him glancing around at the more finer carriages and seats that were around them. She usually was in the back of the train where the other slaves had to ride or wasn't really paying attention to where she sat. She sat down next to him, moving Rui from her shoulder to her lap as they sat down. "That's not that long really, the meadows is a bit longer than that. The summit is a lot longer than an hour from here. She pulled up her legs in her chair to sit in a criss-cross formation, leaning back in her seat. She also hadn't let go of his hand either.

@❇︎ Yooa ¥✔ Myungsoo smiled, his fangs glimmering in the dim light. “You are right.”
And so it was decided. They ventured through the streets of the Central until they reached an old, train station, its platform overgrown with ornate details, large windows and decorative details of arches and turrets.Myungsoo learned that this train was not just any train—it was a mist powered transport that connected the realms. He glanced at Yooa, lining up at the ticket booth. A woman with a laced hairdress greeted them. Myungsoo gave four gold coins and said, “two tickets to Lioncourt De Soverie.” The woman nodded giving him the tickets.

As they waited at the platform, Myungsoo was thrumming with excitement and trepidation, a shimmering train appeared, its carriages cloaked in shadows yet glimmering within. It came to a gentle stop, the doors opening with a soft sigh of ancient wood.

"Quickly now, Yooa!" Myungsoo urged, leading her into the nearest carriage, which was draped in velvet and filled with the scent of fine perfume. They settled into seats that appeared woven from the very fabric of night itself. “Home is like an hour away. Fives stops to be exact.” He said, shifting on his seat trying to get comfortable.

“Thank you for riding the Central Coin Bullet train, and as we prepare for departure, please take your seats.”

I turn my eyes to the gentle tapping of the rain on the glass, soon accompanied by the rolling belt of lighting. The wind whimpers across the outside of the cart that didn’t compare to the growling crack of thunder roaring overhead. ‘Hi there, ladies, gents, and folks. “We are now departing from Mystique Rainforest, and the next stop will be Undead Wastelands which we’ll be approaching in 15 minutes.”

I just really wanted to get home and back to the castle, to Yooa. I should’ve known better than to hire an Airship pilot instead. Trains never interested me, but if only I had known what awaited me tonigh ;I probably would’ve never got on in the first place.

@♅ Kim Hyunwoo Four males with air cannons leap from the top of the train to the side, causing a loud thud once they land on the ground. Each firing of three warning shots for the people gathered outside the train to stay put with the other two invaded the train. They march down the aisle, ensuring that each individual remains seated, waiting for their leader's signal. I stayed calm, my expression neutral as I observed the situation be cooperative for the time being. I may be immortal, but not all the folks on the train and the docking station were. I knew I would have to devise a plan and fast before more blood slips. I turn to look outside the train when I recognize another divine energy hiding amongst the crowd. I squint hard to confirm you were a son of heaven, and maybe, if I communicate with you, we could come up with a plan to home safe and everyone alive.

@♦ Christopher Bang I rear back when I see the human nearly topple forward. An intuitive hand places up between us on the off chance your human reflexes fail you. They didn't, luckily. Once you steadied yourself and then took your seat, I level an analytical gaze in your direction. I merely held up a hand to ensure all was well. Oscillate motions continue to the train as it presses through the high winds. The rain relentlessly pounded on the glass, further distorting the world outside. Lights overhead flicker several times due to the frequent turbulence. "Damn storm," I mutter, knowing it will take twice as long to get home at this rate. The locomotive sways and bounces on the train, then suddenly slams into something hard.

I launch forward, stopping myself from colliding with you once more, when death grips the nearby railing. The train rattles then came to a screeching halt just as we entered the tunnel within the underpass, and the lights cut off completely. "What now?"

"Ladies, Gents, and Folks, it looks like we hit some debris on the tracks. Please give us 5 mins to inspect the disturbance and assess the damage. We should be on our way to our distance shortly looks like we are just about 2 miles outside Meldorn station at the board of the Undead Wastelands. We do apologize for the inconvenience. Please sit tight and do not exit the train; we thank you for your corporation." "You gotta be in kidding me. What else can go wrong tonight?"

@♅ Choi Dongwook ￥✔ I've been waiting for the owner of the letter to show up for the past the hour. I decided to wait a little longer when I hear an annoucement that a train is departing to Crystal Cidale. Moments later, I had grew tired of it. 'Probably it's one of those childish pranks for me to get here so that I can be more targeted.' I thought in my own state of mind...that is until I alsonheard gunshots coming from a train. Not wanting to wait for them any longer, I start to grab my things quickly and start to flee away from that spot since I don't do well with violence as I start to panic even though I wasn't inside of the train..but near it. Clutching my things tightly, I ran to the nearest exit right before I saw it is on lockdown. 'Great...now I'm stuck here..what am I going to do now?' Sighing out of distress, I sat down on the bench and decided to go back on waiting for the person whom I'm suppose actually show up to me in person.

@♅ Kim Hyunwoo [Don’t apologize; I get it. I accepted replies of all sizes love.]

I had no intent on making this train ride social, for I had far too much on my mind for pleasantries this evening. I had to be on top of my A-game. The for no talk focus starts well enough, given I could tone out the disheartened angel in the booth, two heads of mine, and the right-hand side. My eyes were fixated on the old Byzantine architecture that greeted the train as we emerged from underground. The sound of steam pushing and pulling through the locomotive without spurting out of control indicates that we were indeed keeping up a good pace. The train whistles echoing through the tunnel momentarily engulfed us in darkness before the interior lights illuminated our surroundings.

“Good evening, ladies, gents, and mythical folks. This is your conductor speaking. We are now approaching The Crystal Cidale. We’ll be arriving in 15mins; please make sure all your belongings around are attended to, and please report all suspects actively.” Thank the heavens, I said silently, for I was ready to be freedom of these cramped quarters. Damn, I would give anything to have my powers back to full functionality. But, as long as I bared the mark of the slave, I needed to keep the truth of my agency under wraps, even while I was home. “Ladies, Gents, and Mythical folks, we are. Hey-Hey you! What are you doing? You can’t be in here! Someone help call security; they’ve got a gu-” A loud gunshot rounded off, and the conductor was silenced. “Sorry about that, everyone. Your conductor is taking a little nap in the Eslyain sea. We’ll be taking over this train ride. Apologies, we’ll be taking a little detour.”

@† Bambi Naka ( likewise, love <3 )

If it wasn't for this particular job, he wouldn't even be on this train right now. Christopher would already be at the location and, at best, the contract would have already been complete by now. However, this case was... special. It was a personal favor from a loyal employer. Apparently one of their loved one got kidnapped and the notorious dark mage was immediately sought out to do the job because who else would? It was a rescue mission but also a contract; the guy was willing to pay more than double for Christopher to bring back the target's head. Literally. However, said target was even more notorious than he, so discretion being preferred was most certainly an understatement. Very /very/ select few knew that Christopher lived a double life. Right now, he seemed like an ordinary grumpy man that favored the color black more than anything and also appeared to wear a permanent scowl 24/7. It's weird, honestly. Normally, he puts on the mask to hide and become Vagabond. Now, in order to become Vagabond, he has to remove the mask. Getting close in a proper way without garnering attention was the best route so every second counted. Luckily all expenses were paid for, as a compliment. The guy was grateful Christopher took the job so, in return, he took care of everything else so that all he would need to do is worry about completing the job. He was moving down the aisle after returning from the restroom (it was disgusting in there, he never used it though he did end up using his abilities to track down the target and see what they were up to). The train jerks suddenly and he nearly fumbles into one of the other passengers that was currently seated. Luckily, his reflexes were always rather keen and he was able to catch himself before something awkward and uncomfortable could happen. The mage was decent enough to turn towards the person - oh, it was a woman - and dip his head in a small yet sincere bow as a way to apologize for the mishap before Christopher turns to his seat which was, ironically, right across from her.

@♅ Choi Dongwook ￥✔ I arrive at this station to meet up with someone after I received a letter from a mysterious not too long ago. Probably it's an old friend of mine whom I haven't seen in a while. I was so busy job searching that I barely have any free time for the past couple weeks. Then I started to go to the meet up spot and wait there after 30 minutes of finding it before taking a seat on an empty bench. "Ugh..what a day..." I muttered to myself. I took my huge stack of job application papers out and sighed as I read every single page in which said 'Rejected' stamped on it. "What am I going to now?" I sighed as I run my fingers through my hair with one hand while tossing all of the papers into the trash bin.

[ sorry if it's a bit short; i can only do semi-para ]

@♅ Kim Nahee ¥ The ride from the hangar on the outskirts of the Elysian Crest, the capital of Heaven, to the Crystal Citadel Place at its center is quiet. The opaque tint of the windows is one way-way thing. A vibrant, colorful view of Elysian Crest is clear from inside the transport. In silence, I turn to the window and look out at the glittering municipality I know as well as Crystal Citadel. My brothers and I had a home on the shore of Nirvana. As we got older, we seemed to stay there least and least only in the Crystal Citadel in an official delegate capacity and, as such, stayed in with the royal family as Knights of the Kingdom so we could remain close to the Academy. Kevin and Yuki's face flash before me, then vanish just as quickly as that came. I dig my nails into my palms, using the sting of the pain to chase away the fresh misery that blindsides me. This was the first time I'd been home since they'd both fallen.

@♦ Christopher Bang I turn my eyes to the gentle tapping of the rain on the glass, soon accompanied by the rolling belt of lighting. The wind whimpers across the outside of the cart that didn't compare to the growling crack of thunder roaring overhead. 'Hi there, ladies, gents, and folks. We are now departing from Mystique Rainforest, and the next stop will be Undead Wastelands which we'll be approaching in 15 minutes. Please take your seats as we prepare for departure, and once again, thank you for riding the Central Coin Bullet train.' I let go a weary sigh attempting to exude patience, knowing that it would most likely be another 1hr and 45mins to Bahamut Summit, especially with weather like this. I just really wanted to get home and back to the castle, to Lord Taemin. I should've known better than to hire an Airship pilot instead. I never really fancied trains, but had I known what was in store for me this evening; I never would've boarded in the first bloody place.

[thank you for your patience love <3]
