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.]

...If the locals are already at the stage of graffiti, perhaps that is how we might continue for now. At least until we can cobble together something more of an escape plan. I don't recall being expressly forbidden from minor acts of vandalism on anything but the train itself, and it could be presented as a form of artistic expression if one were caught in the act.

Unfortunately, not all of the locals would be so amenable to that kind of "artistic expression." I was warned to watch my words before I offended the wrong people. If we were careless, we might end up imprisoned somewhere even worse that here.
