THE PASSENGER CAR

[thetapes]

All around you is the sound of squeaking, desperately pushing metal. It's like the whole world has forced itself forward, leaving you in a state of drug-induced vertigo. Before long, the seats will become familiar to you, but for now the fluorescent lights are blinding.

Welcome to the start of A Bullet in the Dark, everyone! This will be your catchall mingle for any thread taking place in the Passenger Car. Because of the short run of the game, instead of individual mingles being posted for different times or events, there will instead be mingles posted by location. Please note the ic hour in which your thread takes place in your header, and make sure you don't have your character in two places at once (once new locations become available).

For now, this mingle will serve as your intro log, but you'll likely find yourselves coming back around to it for other purposes in the future. As always, feel free to contact me on plurk or discord with any questions you have!

[just gonna

take a step back]

Yeah, for sure. Probably a good idea to get out of here before we start pointing fingers, though.

[literally or figuratively]

[haveyounoshame]

I know! It's not gonna mean much of anything if we're stuck in here forever...

[He was more referring to the fact that they're all trapped, but that's definitely fair to assume.]

[andtwiceaspretty]

A train runs on a track, so sooner or later, it'll run out.

[That... did not come out as optimistic as he tried to sound.]

I meant to say that it can't go on forever.

[haveyounoshame]

Yeah, that's why they stop, genius.

[Although the possibility that this train will not has hit him now from his tone of voice.]

[andtwiceaspretty]

But you were the one who said-

[Never mind.]

The point is, one way or another, we won't be trapped in here forever.

[Comforting.]

[haveyounoshame]

It could just stop at its destination and leave us in here, ya know!

But still, I'm not gonna let that happen...

[andtwiceaspretty]

[Well yeah, but then they'd just starve to death. He's... not gonna say that, though.]

Right, yeah. I'm sure we'll figure it out.

[Good thing he's a good liar.]
