WEEK 1

[The train wouldn't stop. Not until very early the next morning. The few who might have been awake would be able to exit the train, entering the cool twilight of the dawn. The star is dark, and few stars can be seen in the sky as a cold breeze begins to blow from the mountain beyond. You can see some chunks of rock floating idly nearby, far away from the station that it won't hit trains, but near enough that one can see they are larger than the train they just disembarked.

Lastly, laid out in front of them, the first port of call: Menahoven. The mountain: The Throat of the World.

But which world? Who knows. Not any of yours. Maybe it doesn't matter. Not when you are so far from home. Not when you have no way to get off this rock without the aid of the trains-and they will not let you pass.

It looks like you're stuck here until the Conductor decides to leave. In the meantime, everyone will need to get comfortable.


There are fifteen strangers left in this place.]

[Look at this perfectly innocent face. This is the joy of learning, not successfully pulling the world's lamest prank.]

Ahaha, yes, very true. The whole thing looks like some kind of fusion between Dracula and The Mummy. I think we're in an especially shoddy historical recreation, personally.

[ At least he's not going to dwell on it much, especially now that he feels like his heart isn't racing a mile a minute now. ]

I... can't help but agree with you. It's like they just put two different cultures together or something.

I think it may be a habit, given that we're on what's effectively a spaceship made up to look like a turn of the century steam train. Everything we've seen so far is anachronistic mishmash.
