SKREEEEE!

SKREEEEE!

[It's about three o'clock when the train suddenly hears something like the cry of a crow. It's not coming from inside the train, either; it's coming from the outside.

Almost instantly, the speaker system comes to life, and the Conductor's voice echoes through the cars.]

Attention, all passengers and crew! We are under attack. Please come to armaments if you are willing. Otherwise, please congregate in the lounge for your own safety. Immediately, please.

I will meet those of you coming to the weapons.

[strangerpeople]

[It's...odd looking. It's also twitching just a bit.

The ball is scared. D:]

[katzenpfote]

[Um. Hm. He doesn't have a stick, so he takes a strip of bandage from the roll he found and balls it up, rolling it towards the 'ball'.]

[strangerpeople]

[The bandage boops it, causing the thing to unravel just slightly.

The most adorable face stares at it, letting out a questioning meep?.]

[katzenpfote]

Ah... hello there. We will not harm you if you do not harm us, all right?

EVIDENCE

[strangerpeople]

[The creature meeps back again, going back to sniffing the bandage.

It's probably not going to harm anyone. Even the rats seem fine with approaching it and trying to comfort it.]

Oi, there there, don't be scared!

[It must be the mascot of the crew...]
