Dia sat at her table playing with her mouse while she waited for her food. She was having the mouse chase her finger around the table when it suddenly took off jumping off the table and running toward a lady dressed in skirts (Olivia).
"SQUEE, come back!"
Dia managed to reach the mouse just as it managed to climb up onto the table.
"Sorry about that, he seems to like you."

 It took Jan a few moments to notice it was his turn to order dinner, as he was busy taking in both the car and the other passengers. He had seen some of them upon boarding the train, though not up close. Many of them looked as out of place as he felt, which was a relief. "I'll take the same as her", he said pointing at the girl who had been in the line before him and now sat at one of the tables on her own. He wondered what his dinner would be as he hadn't actually heard the girl's order. Then, after a short pause, he added: "And for dessert I want a cocktail. One with different colors and strange fruit on the glass and one of those small paper parasols, yes?"Saying that had felt good for some reason, and as he step out of the way he turned quickly to take a picture of the Katherine, which made him feel even better. Only now he realized how long it had been since his last nice and relaxed vacation. He hadn't known how much he missed this. Smiling widely Jan move to the nearest table and sat down next to it's occupant who looked horribly un-holiday-like scribbling into some sort of note book. "This is a great train, isn't it?" he greeted the slightly younger man cheerfully. "So, are you headed to the resort as well?"

Hearing the announcement reminded the girl, she hadn't eaten anything all day because she had been running late and skipped breakfast so that she would not miss the trains departure. Though she was hungry she did not get up to make an order in the dinner car, instead she open up her tote and took out a brown paper bag in which she had packed a small lunch the previous night. While eating she scooted over to the side of her cabin closer to the door and opened it so that she could watch all of the hustle and bustle of all the people rushing to the dinner cart to be first in line to place their orders.

The orders were taken without incident and you shortly smelled the food cooking from the trains kitchen- though it was accompanied by the sounds of an argument happening somewhere behind closed doors.

Hearing a commotion she gets up and leans out of her cabin door looking up and down the hallway to try and figure out where the sound was coming from.

Katherine pushed the serving tray out of the kitchen with all the designated meals on them, though she was having a heated discussion with someone in the kitchen- yelling all manor of profanity and unpleasant things and having them thrown back at her in turn.
She stood in the hall shouting at the other person for several minutes, ultimately losing her temper and flipping the serving tray over- causing all the food to be ruined. She stormed away from the kitchen as the door slammed, then stopped to stare at you.
"WHAT ARE YOU STARING AT?!"
She kicked a bit of the food in your general direction and then continued her tirade out through the end of the serving car, through the passenger cars (making it a point to beat on the doors and windows out of frustration as she went) and finally vanishing into her private quarters at the end with one last psychotic scream.

Katherine's rampage has concluded.
All people who placed orders are now without food for the duration of the trip.
All people in their cabins have been thoroughly disturbed by the abrupt knocking and beating on their doors and windows.

He reacts with a small laugh - "This is why you should pay your employees more..." and makes a point of tipping the girl as she goes by, dropping a $10 onto her cart. He continued to chuckle, apparently having a slightly odd sense of humour as she disturbs the entire car.

As the sound of yelling reached his ears, Maren turned his head toward the kitchen just in time to see the food go flying. A bit of egg hit his shoulder and fell into his lap. He absently brushed it off as he watched the hostess go stomping through the car. Then his gaze returned to the mess to survey the damage. The food... well, that was ruined. Maren shrugged slightly. I suppose it's just as well, he thought as he got to his feet. Then he bent and picked up a fallen bowl. "At least the dishes can be cleaned easily," he murmured as he reached for a nearby plate.

"Aww, the food got ruined!" Iwa complained when the ruckus began and the food cart was shoved to the ground, the original plan to just grab some from the nearest person the skunk could charm with their looks now ruined if no one was going to get it in one piece. Well, it still looked delicious....
Shoving off the temptation to start devouring fallen goods, Iwa rushed off into the kitchen in order to find out who had angered the woman - Katrina, was it? - easily the small black creature slunk into the kitchen

Another man plopped down next to Emilio as he scribbled in his own world. He looked beside him and saw that the man was occupying a straw hat and a hawaiian tourist shirt. 'Typical Tourist.' Emilio thought. The man clad in tourist clothing greeted him in a 'gleeful' tone. " This is a great train, isn't it?" he asked before he continued. " So, are you headed to the resort as well?" For a moment, Emilio didn't respond; not knowing whether to answer or not. But hesitating, he let out his response.
" This train is pretty nice, I find it interesting that this train runs across nothing and that we all get our own cabins." he paused. " I'm headed to that resort sure in fact; except once a month is over I'll be searching for a new place to crash." Emilio said in his 'happiest' voice. He then decided to return to his Cabin, but a disruption caused him to stop standing. Katherine had flipped all the food on the ground and kicked some to him. 'Great.' Emilio thought. ' There goes my fiesta for the night.' The boy himself slumped down back into his seat; disappointed that he wouldn't be able to eat his bacon. ' The five second rule doesn't count now... doesn't it?'
He then took a look at the disaster around the dinner car. Caviar sprawled around, mixing within his scrambled egg. His coffee seeping into a medium rare steak. Disgusting. Emilio excused himself from the Tourist looking guy to help clear out the mess with another passenger." What a waste of food and resources." he said disappointed. In his home land, he would be forced to eat all the food, otherwise he was going to be part of the meal himself. Utter catastrophe had just happened on the train to a resort. Emilio wondered if the train trip could go worse.

A high pitched ‘squee ‘ jarred Olivia from her reflections. She closed her eyes slightly in resignation, ‘Don’t tell me there are children aboard. ’ Flicking her gaze around Olivia came to the sudden realisation that there was a rat on her table. Pausing for a moment they regarded each other. The beady black eyes gazed back into Olivias. Everything seemed to be happening in slow motion and faintly Olivia could hear the cess pit’s owner saying something about how the cess pit liked her. Still keeping her eyes locked with the small creature Olivia prepared to unleash tirade of exactly what she thought about that ‘I couldn’t care less if he likes me I do NOT like IT! What sort of fool child would bring such an abomination onboard and to a dining cart none the less!’ Opening her mouth only a slightly strangled croak escaped.
This did enough to rouse Olivia from her dazed state ‘How disgraceful. I have handled worse situations then this. Pull yourself together woman!’ Clearing her throat Olivia gathered her wits and turned to look at the girl. “It’s no problem. I have noticed animals do not tend to have a sense of decorum.” Smoothly Oliva stood up, “After all, I have heard it stated that they are but reflections of their masters.” Stepping away from the table Olivia’s further remarks were halted as a circus revolving around the serving girl erupted.
Raising an eyebrow Olivia looked at the girl standing opposite her, “I’m beginning to think someone lied when they told me this was a first class journey. Is it possible for that girl to be any more unprofessional?” Olivia nodded in the direction go the fading shouts and with a disgusted air used a napkin to dab away flecks of soup that had splattered her skirt. Looking up Olivia spotted one man picking up plates, another chuckling and the witty boy starting to clear up. “This is an utter fiasco” she muttered. The food was completely ruined and to top it all off they had completely ignored her request for tea and nibbles.
Standing up straight Olivia huffed and imperiously wound her way through the destruction to the kitchen door. Knocking loudly she paused for a moment at the lack of response “Excuse me. We need assistance out here.” Silence remained and Olivia absent-mindedly glanced back at the cabin ‘I’ve half a mind to drag that fool girl and chef out here to clean this up with nothing more than a bucket and soapy water’

"Yeah, it's great isn't it? I've never been on a train before. Well at least not one like this, just the monorail to work every morning." Jan took another picture, this time of the spilled food, then went over to the scene of the 'crash' as well to joined the two men there on the floor. "You know, back when this baby was build people still knew how to travel in style. It's so much better than being stuffed into some streamline plastic and metal hulk with a bunch of people and shot through the sky."He picked up a mostly clean fork before he continued speaking, gesturing widely. "And the planes are getting more crowded every time, but instead of building bigger ones the just put in more seats. On my last flight I had to share the bank with a horribly overweight lady who took up all the space!" The fork barely missed Emilio's shoulder as Jan spread his arms to indicate the ladies size like a fisher describing his latest catch. "And to make things worse she insisted on talking to me the whole time! Some people are just so intrusive and annoying! Don't you think so, too?"Shaking his head in genuine and rightful aggravation he helped himself to a piece of bacon that had miraculously stayed on a plate and not been drenched in coffee.

Dia Smiled as Olivia talked to her. Why, thank you, She proudly petted her mouse I've always thought of myself as small and mousy. You know, a lot of people don't like mice, they think they're ra- Dia jump out of the way as food splattered everywhere. She watched as Katherine stormed out of the room then gathered herself. How dare she dump the prince's food. He will not be happy about this. She quickly walked out of the car and headed back to her cabin.

Mysteriously not an ounce of food had landed anywhere near the girl. She seemed complete undisturbed by the goings on, almost as though she had already been aware of the commotion that was about to have been caused
Muttering to herself, "Sadly we can only tell with some people... I wonder what they'll do."
She stood up, moving calmly round the fallen food, careful not to get any on herself, and made her way back to her cabin. Where a happy snack of a Cornish pasty waited her in her trunk.
