Oh god, it wasn't a dream.

Some habits died hard, like his internal clock that had him waking early to a dark cramped space that after some moments confused, he remembered to be his bunk on a train. Moving as quietly as he could, he gathered some toiletries and slips into the bathroom for a shower trying not to wake anyone. From there it's a change of clothes and then the hunt for the one thing that will keep him sane during this trek- coffee.

Wearing one of the red polo shirts he'd been given, Tony arrives at the dining car early. He leaves the wheelchair downstairs in the kitchen, finding for just the short journey upstairs he doesn't need it. While he was in the kitchen, he doesn't protest too hard when someone on kitchen duty fixes him an egg white omelet, toast, and coffee.

Upstairs, he finds a good spot where he could watch the door and settles in to enjoy his breakfast and ponder over the fact that this situation he was in might not actually be a hallucination after all. He sorely misses his tablet where he could check the world news like he usually did over breakfast, but these things happen when you're randomly kidnapped by a freaky train in middle of the void.

"Up to your waist? So if any of those Lalafell get on board, I'm going to need to get stronger glasses, huh?" He teases. It was a joke, but that was a very small person. It might end up being difficult for them if they ever ended up on this train. The kitchen had many cupboards that were much higher than Sarai's waist and the top bunks in here would be considerably high for them.

"A Scion, huh? Who are they?" He was picturing something like a guardian angel.

He opens his notebook and draws a very rough sketch of what a rhinoceros. "This part here is a large horn and its hide is very thick, almost like armor. They're native to semiarid lands. They aren't very smart, but you wouldn't want to be its target if it decides to charge."

"They're an organization, the Scions of the Seventh Dawn. They were formed from the former Circle of Knowing and the Path of the Twelve after Archon Louisoix went missing. He's presumed dead, sadly. They keep tabs on the beast tribes, as to whether or not they're summoning their Primals, and the Ascians, as well. Technically, I am a member too, but I'm more...'Sarai, go there, do this, gather your allies and kill this Primal.' That sort of thing." But she's amused, if nothing else, as she leans in to look at Tony's drawing.

"All right, no, nothing quite like that. We do have rather large tortoises--they're called adamantoises, and they sound similar. You wouldn't want one of them to jump when you're close...not the same, but equally as dangerous. They're native to Thanalan--which is arid."

Tony has to laugh. All those names that had no meaning to him were going to make his head hurt. "I have, no idea what you just said," he jokes. "Is this Archon fellow like a god? Somehow I have a hard time believing you let anyone just order you about." God or not.

The concept of comparing a rhino to a giant tortoise was pretty hilarious, but as he considers both descriptions of the animals they weren't so far off. He wonders how close an adamantoise was to a real tortoise from his world. Huh. "They should make a void train zoo. Somewhere you can see all the crazy, random animals for all of our worlds." It was a ridiculous idea, but Sarai seemed the type to be receptive to random suggestions like that.

[sweetnessandfight]

"No, Louisoix was no god. Just very knowledgeable; his knowledge was passed on to his grandchildren, Alisaie and Alphinaud. They're doing their best." Though by her time, both of Louisoix's grandchildren were trapped in slumber due to the Calling; something Sarai herself had been subject to, at least once. If not more than once.

It was not something she wanted to share with Tony; not yet.

"I'm not sure an actual zoo might be a good idea, but perhaps a holographic representation? With an accompanying description?"

"Are Lassie and Alfred also these scion people?" Tony quips, knowing she won't understand the joke fully but it amuses him so he said it. He recognizes there are plenty of things about this subject Sarai wasn't telling him, but it sounded like a lot to take in at once. Perhaps some day it might be important enough to remember.

"Wonder how many of those pokemon creatures there are. Have you seen the weird little rabbit Eva has?" As he says it, he is reminded of when he met the talking raccoon he thought was from build-a-bear till it moved. What was the critter's name? Rocko, rocket, rock.. whatever. Thor called him a rabbit as if that monster of a man could make himself look any more stupid in Tony's eyes than he already did.

Sarai couldn't help but choke back a laugh as Tony misnamed the Leveilleur twins. "They're...more affiliated, I suppose. Though they did more with the scions during the Ala Mhigan revolution, I suppose."

That made Sarai chuckle again. "Princess? Yes. He sort of has a talent for being where he's not supposed to be, but it's not bad. He's cute, so I just sort of try to move him aside." And a lot of times, she feeds him. Not a lot, just a few tidbits of fruit or veggie, but she really couldn't resist the soulful eyes...

"Really?" Tony asks, surprised that the pokemon was found around the train. "I've only seen him with Eva. But.. I've also not been looking that much." He wonders why the rodent hadn't been hanging around somewhere he'd been before except in his room.

He shrugs. "Speaking of.. I've made a survey for people to fill out. I'm hoping we can find a pattern between our backgrounds and what worlds and times we're coming from. Perhaps it'll clue us in to how to get you all home."

[sweetnessandfight]

"Food is an excellent motivator," Sarai said, chuckling again. "I'm sure Eva keeps him relatively close, but she can't keep an eye on him all the time, I suppose." Unless she kept him in the strange device she claimed to carry him in--a thing that boggled Sarai's mind.

"Oh? I'll have to fill that out, though I've no idea whether or not it'll be any help. The least I can do is try, correct?" But she grinned at that.

Tony chuckles about why Sarai had seen Princess. It made sense now that he heard it, given Sarai was in the kitchen. "There isn't a lock on that ball of hers?" Was it safe for the people here and for the rabbit to be allowed to wander around unattended?

He smiles at her remark about the questionnaire. "I honestly don't know either. It's worth the attempt even if the results aren't what I'm hoping they will be. It might be useful to have some basic information about who we are traveling with anyway."

[sweetnessandfight]

"I suppose. Well, I'll do what I can, and I'll help Dread with his--unless it's on the screened device." Most styluses weren't made for Roegadyn fingers, really. At least not most common ones. Which was no fault of any here--save perhaps the one who brought them here. Who was still a mystery, so Sarai could hardly take umbrage.

Though she might, if they ever showed their face.

"I suppose if you need help compiling the information, you can trouble me, as we both know, there's not a great deal of things to do here." Seven hells, Sarai had picked up the slack in cleaning considering there were no Blue team members, at the moment.
