Well that was Strange

Who: Little One and open!
Where: Cabin 1:C, games room, kitchen, carriage B
When: Bassoon day 4
What: Little One wakes up in a suitcase
Warnings: No specific ones to start but if anyone needs her dialect dropped please let me know! edited: Blood drinking in the Joss thread

Waking: Towards and into cabin 1:C

It was dark when she woke and she knew straight away that she was somewhere enclosed. Not her bed. Not even the makeshift bed she had made. Enclosed, small. Hands went out, probing. Not panicking. Not yet. There was no point until she had more information and no point even after. If she was trapped she was trapped. She would have to deal with that.

She hit solid walls on either side but as she reached above her head there was give and she pushed, swinging the lid open. She sat up and looked around. Luggage carriage. She could tell by the smell, the lingering smell of smoke. She clambered out of the suitcase and frowned on it. How had she got there?

Night time wanderings, a voice. The voice. Telling her she was needed in the control coach. Was that here? Then nothing. Until now.

Weird. She padded out of the luggage carriage, through the dressing carriage. It was full of spiderwebs. She wrinkled her nose. Had Peter gone crazy?

She is in her nightdress but she can see from the windows it is day time, or whatever passes for it here. So she heads to her room. She should get dressed. She presses her ticket to the screen and enters.

What's new? Carriage E

She had been on her way to get some food but this was a new carriage. One that had appeared when she was... Wherever she had been. She's trying not to think about the fact she had disappeared, it's weird. She entered the carriage and wrinkled her nose, what was this? She went over to one of the trunks and began looking through the boxes. Games. Board games. That must be it. She's heard of them.

She went through both floors, stopping to poke things or pick things up and read them. So many. How were there even so many games? Who had made them all? Why were they here?

Upstairs was even stranger, she picked up a large wooden block wondering what sort of game it was for. Building? Fighting?

Stranger still was the other side with the strange face masks. She picked one up and turned it around in her hands, examining it from all angles. What kind of game was this?

Disappearing is hungry work: Kitchen

Her explorations could only last too long before her stomach made it clear she hadn't eaten in a long time. She knows logically if she hadn't eaten in a whole week she wouldn't be alive so she must have... But she's still hungry.

She had read the information for this month. She doesn't even know what a Bassoon is, but Red team are to cook this month. That's her. She can cook. So she heads towards the kitchen to find something to eat.

There's fish, that's good. She knows what to do with fish and she finds some honey. Soon she is stood on tiptoes at a counter, heating a pan of oil and smearing honey onto a piece of fish.

Taking stock: Carriage B

After eating she went to one of the shop screens and bought some chocolate, some sweets and a bottle of purple drink.

She went to the normal carriage and found a table to clamber up onto. She leaned against the window, red hood pulled over her head, bare feet crossed in front of her, sweets spilled out on the table as she investigated them. She hadn't found one she didn't like yet honestly.

There's a lot to think about, where she had been, why she had been taken. She had missed a whole week and missed new people arriving. It makes her angry that she doesn't have any memories about it. Was she controlled in some way? How had she gotten off the train? Nothing made sense. She sighed and leaned her head back against the window.

Carriage B

Passing through coach B at the right time was just a matter of her heading back from the dining car; quietly, quickly walking through, nearly blowing right past the returned Buttercup only to almost literally double-take.

There it was - a little flip-flop feeling in her chest again, just like when Evie had reappeared as an entirely different person, and she wouldn't stand for one of the other few people here she was starting to... befriend?... ending up like that. And that fear glued her in place for a moment, just breathing, wondering what she should do about it-

The only answer was to get it over with either way, of course. Ple Two was no coward. "Buttercup?"
pleple: (Doesn't make side to)

Caring about people was natural, right? But she'd actually been a little scared when Buttercup disappeared. She wasn't built for that. Those sorts of feelings should have been erased by her mental conditioning and training.

Here she was, and when Buttercup greeted her, she sighed with relief; tension melting out of her. "I'm just glad you remember me." Unlike Evie, who was just... a whole different Evie, despite being the same person as well. "And that you're back."

"Evie... left and then immediately returned, only it was a different Evie with no memory of this place." Perhaps the longer disappearance was an entirely separate phenomena? "I was worried... that other people might be the same way."

Forgetting her, when she had so few people she cared about even a little bit in the first place. "It's... worrying that it can happen at all."

"I... I don't know. It was like she just walked off, and another one walked on, and if that doesn't make any sense then we're in agreement." Baffling. Annoying.

"It was at the last stop, when we let on new people." So she didn't just dive out into the void, which sounds pretty deadly.
pleple: (It's all desire)

"It raises far too many concerning questions. Will it permanently happen to others? Are there any rules to it?" If they could plan around it, they could... adapt, certainly.

"I too would rather it not." Ple Two wants to keep these memories if she can help it.
