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.]

[ hmm ... ]

I'm not opposed to reading some history. Maybe I'll take a look at it after this one ...

[telecosmetic]

I dunno if it's the history of this place. Because if it is there's probably been a lot of changes. [Such as having a queen and all that, apparently.]

[eternaldivide]

Well, even if it isn't it'd serve as a good distraction, I suppose. But it would also depend on how much of the book itself has been altered or erased.

[telecosmetic]

There's a lot of timeskips where it seems like things should have been described in more detail...I don't know what the original was like, though, so I can't really make a full comparison.

[eternaldivide]

Does it flow enough to where it won't be confusing to try and read it? Even with the missing details-- it's possibly that those parts of history weren't as remembered as others.

[ ... he doubts it, with what she's said about the books so far, but it's possible ]

[telecosmetic]

I guess...you can kind of put it together? I didn't read through it in that much detail because of how boring it was...
