Log:

If it weren't for the heightened security while boarding, the passengers today might not have noticed any real difference between today's trip and any other trip taken by the Magnet Train. Sure the staff seem to be a little on edge, but there's about the same number of passengers as always, and they don't really seem all that concerned with the broadcasted threat. And about five, five and a half hours into the train ride, nothing really seems to have happened. Maybe the thieves were just full of hot air?

Or not since around this time the train starts slowing down before reaching a complete stop. If anybody takes a quick look outside, it'll show that the train's definitely not in Goldenrod yet. If it wasn't clear that something's wrong, a few moments after the train stops, there's a voice over the PA system that's definitely not the conductor's.

“Attention, passengers, this train is under our control now and if you don't want there to be any...accidents, you'll do as we say. In other words, stay seated if you know what's good for you.”

By now some of the NPC passengers are starting to look worried. Not all of them though. Maybe they know something the others don't?

“Now then. In a few minutes, some friends of ours are going to make their way through the cars. They'll be asking for a few things, and it's in your best interests to hand them over.”

With that, the train's speaker system clicks off.


{OOC: While the subthreads for the battles and fire are intended for the people already on the train, the subthread for evacuating the train can be tagged by anyone that would've flown out to help with the stranded train!}

LEAVING THE LOCOMOTIVE

[these_balls]

The fire's been put out and the robbers have been apprehended or escaped, but there's still a major problem. The train's still stuck outside Goldenrod. And not going anywhere. Thanks to the teleporting...train employee, the police in Saffron are aware of the situation, but it's going to take a while for them to get there. In fact, they're probably contacting Goldenrod at the moment to see if they can get anyone out there faster.

So if anyone wants to help fly people from the train to Goldenrod so they get there faster, now would be a pretty good time. Or they could hang out in the train and wait. After all, help's probably on the way. Whatever they decide to do, it'd probably be a good idea to keep an eye on the Rockets. Wouldn't want any of them wandering off while people are busy doing other things.

{OOC: If you'd like to play out evacuating the train, go ahead and do so here! Feel free to handwave NPC passenger interactions if you'd like! They're not going to object to being taken off the train. If you need anything played out though, feel free to let me know!}

[Well. She volunteered her Charizard, who was happy to take passengers, but the question that's on her mind is should she volunteer her Alakazam too?

He's powerful, of course, shown by him menacingly waving his spoons at the suspicious robbers that remained (what) but would he be willing or able to help transport people to Goldenrod too?]

...Hey--[Then he throws her the most evil look because he was probably reading her mind and she shuts her mouth immediately. Never mind, telepathic fox creature is too scary to ask for favors.] Hnn, Serafina should be back soon anyway. This is the last time I let Kirikou drag me onto a trip for something stupid he wants to buy.

[Honestly, whatever happened to catalogs???]
