The Dusk Express

[Free the Wolf Man]

You are about to head for bed, the last inklings of light are sinking behind the horizon when you hear a train whistle. Your first thought is that its the usual train, but then you realize there are no train tracks near you. Emerging from the horizon, dragging the night with it behind is a old steam locomotive. Taller than your own one story house and as wide was a cruise ship, the train stops in front of your door. It is black as the sky it drags, the chimney choking out the night sky clouds and even thunderstorms. Two figures emerge from the front car, one skinny and in red, the other wearing a mask with orange eyes and spines on the back.

The one in red approaches you and opens up his watch, checking the time and looks at you. "Well? Arent you gonna get on?"

The Conductor cleans his pocket watch and examines the spinning hands. With a nod, he closes it and places it back in his pocket, walking to the Lounge Car's elaborate doors. Patting his large companion's back, the goliath that was named the Train Master, and ushered him back to the front of the ancient steam train.

Opening the doors, the Conductor blew his whistle and yelled at the top of his lungs, his voice booming into the dusk.

"ALL ABOARD!!!! LAST CALL!!! ALL ABOARD!!"




[[that means it open biggrin ]]

The large furnace roared in demand to be fed by the coal mounds around it. The fires jutted from the mouth of the furnace, dying and attempting to burn the fuel nearby to take everyone else with it. So some poets put it. A faun that was in a simple polo shirt that had stains all over it growled and moved toward it with a shovel full of coal, "Here you go, yeah baby." he growled, wiping his forehead. Patrick's face was blackened by the soot the furnace would spit out at him, his eyes as black as the coals. He took the cap off his head, running a hand through his hair as he nicked his horns. His hair had recently been cut down to a box cut for the work. He missed his long hair.

The Train Master watched his new shoveler for a moment then returned to his job. The Dusk Express wasnt a normal locomotive, there were dozens and dozens of gauges, levers, and knobs. Not only did the engine room control speed and power, but it also was the source for all the power through out the train, magical and non. Pulling a lever, the train slowed slightly as it neared a mountain range. It was necessary to slow or the train would drift off its course as it ascended. The Train master patted the faun's back, signalling break time.


Train Master

Patrick breathed out softly, his muscles were thick for a faun. Unlike his brethren, he had focused on strength rather than agility and being the messenger. To bad he was banned from the society for his beliefs. Thankfully he found the conductor and begged for a job, finding himself here. The trainmaster was unique, like him. In fact, all the coal shoveler he met were unique. He recalled the foreman for the shovelers was an ogre that was intelligent. Odd indeed. Though in train of thought, he nearly jumped at the touch of the trainmaster. He nodded and put the shovel onto his own shoulder and walked toward the towel rack where he wiped his face. What to do now.

The Train Master took his break also, taking the time to stare out at the horizon. The horizon of two worlds, the light and the dark. The mountains were in spring, the snow melting down the side and filling up the great river. Though intimidating, the Train Master was a kindred soul, a mortal being that lived and shared that bond with all mortals. Tapping on Patrick's shoulder the Master pointed to the horizon. With a finger, a light emitting from it, the Master wrote in the air. Words of light appeared and floated in the air before fading back to nothing.
"Look. You might like this."

Train Master

Patrick turned when the master touched his shoulder. The turning was slightly slow, but he caught a glimpse of the words in the air. What would he like? What in God's name wo- Wow... His train of that was stopped as he looked in awe at the horizion of the orange skies, the way the mountains were going through it's earthly cycle. Patrick paused for a moment and studied it before breathing out with a sigh, "It's been awhile since I've watched the sun's movements." he stated quietly.

Cynthia and Jenesis stumbled around in library. It was weird to have one on a train, even though it was magical. Jenesis dragged her sister into a booth and read on of the books she randomly grabbed from a shelf. "Ooooh, 'Find me by the moonlight.' " Jenesis said with a grin. Cynthia read the back outloud, "A romantic thrill about a vampire seducing a- Ah, this is bull!" She said, and stuck the book back in one of the shelves and dragged her twin into the lounge cart, obviously bored.

The Conductor whistled as he made his rounds, checking the sleeping cabins and bar. When he made his way into the Lounge, fading into the room, he came upon the twins he had let on earlier. With a smile, the Conductor greeted the two young girls.
"Welcome aboard the Dusk Express girls. Tickets please?" The Conductor asked, a grin on his lips.

The Conductor

[Ser Charles McPigg]

Patrick turned around and placed his shovel on the rack, his name was imprinted on a shelf. He rolled his shoulders, grabbing his lunch. Slowly he moved from the coal car and into the lounge car. He peaked his head inside the car, glancing around for people. Two girls sitting the opposite side of the room from him. The conductor was asking for tickets and being a social butterfly, like usual. Slowly he slipped in and sat in a booth, opening that brown bag, sliding out a sandwich. He ate it while staring at the table' surface.
