Operation: Express Car; [train plot log]

Who: Everyone who wants to participate!
Where: Goldenrod City, the Magnet Train, Saffron City.
When: November 23rd, 11AM-5PM
Summary: Heist on the Magnet Train!
Rating: Might go up to PG-13, possibly R if exceptional violence of swearing occurs.
Log:

They've spent the last few days preparing. He wasn't sure at first, how this was going to turn out, but the Team is confident. They are confident and now he, Archer, is also confident. He has no reason to expect failure; he tells himself, even if they fail, this will cement them back in the public eye. A threat again. It makes his collar hot to think.

He reviews the plans again, Petrel's notes and schematics, engineering details. Phase 2 will be the most delicate, but he's confident in the abilities of the recruits. The aliens, the outsiders, are strange, but useful. They have skills no other Grunt would possess. Archer recognizes he has been given a tool, and only a fool would fail to use it.

At 9:30AM on November 23rd, Archer sends a message through the Rocket Network. It is short, and simple, and jubilant.

Operation: Express Car START


-----------------------------------------------


It's a nice day out, considering. Cold, yes, but the kind of cold that buries itself deep in the lungs and blows the mind into crisp clarity. Cheeks are red, movements brisk to retain heat, and around Goldenrod's white-dusted Magnet Train station, the energy is thick enough to taste. People in their thick winter coats press together, some alone, some with families and friends, most with their trusted pokémon. The larger creatures are returned to their balls, tragically fated to miss the voyage, while smaller breeds are held in their trainers' arms or scurrying around their ankles.

The station attendants are supervising while customers pass through, touching the microchipped Rail Pass to the card readers and moving in slow, sluggish trails through the gates. There is no shoving; the atmosphere seems too cheery for it, excitement manifesting in the form of loud, vigorous conversation. The train itself is gloriously slick, smooth and polished as a new bullet or a freshly-minted coin, humming with power. We ask our passengers to please mind their electric-types, reminds the stationmaster over the PA, as we seek to avoid any trouble or inconvenience during the ride.

Once you've passed the gate, find a seat and stow away your luggage. Relax, unwind; it's a long six hours ahead.

Well, if you're that concerned, then I'll sit right next to you.

[identity profile] homofuckiens.livejournal.com 2011-11-25 12:20 am (UTC)(link)
Then I guess I'll have to watch it so my elbow doesn't meet your face.

[identity profile] p2iioniichacker.livejournal.com 2011-11-25 12:22 am (UTC)(link)
If you do that I'll just let Hellbeast back out.

[identity profile] homofuckiens.livejournal.com 2011-11-25 12:23 am (UTC)(link)
Hellbeast is a very fucking accurate name.

[identity profile] p2iioniichacker.livejournal.com 2011-11-25 12:24 am (UTC)(link)
Well, you're the one who kept calling him that, so of course you'd think that.

[identity profile] p2iioniichacker.livejournal.com 2011-11-25 01:04 am (UTC)(link)
It was the last you. But still. You kept calling him my seeing eye hellbeast. [and you know what, he's going to take this opportunity to try and sit down right next to KK. better scoot over or something for him!]

[identity profile] homofuckiens.livejournal.com 2011-11-25 01:07 am (UTC)(link)
[ yeah, he's giving a scoot over. not that Ben likes it very much. ]

It's about fucking time I've heard something the past Karkat did and I can agree that I'd do.

[identity profile] p2iioniichacker.livejournal.com 2011-11-25 01:13 am (UTC)(link)
There's a lot you would both do, we just haven't been telling you all of it. It would get boring just telling you everything.

[identity profile] homofuckiens.livejournal.com 2011-11-25 01:15 am (UTC)(link)
Providing that I even want to know every detail.

[identity profile] p2iioniichacker.livejournal.com 2011-11-25 01:20 am (UTC)(link)
I know you don't. But you guys really are the same, apart from a few things here and there. Your past selves aren't as bad as you always say.

[identity profile] homofuckiens.livejournal.com 2011-11-25 01:21 am (UTC)(link)
Hmmm. No, they are. They really are, but not for the reason that they are Past Karkats.

[identity profile] homofuckiens.livejournal.com 2011-11-25 01:25 am (UTC)(link)
Okay, you can stop beating me to what I am going to say any fucking time now.

[identity profile] p2iioniichacker.livejournal.com 2011-11-25 01:31 am (UTC)(link)
Okay, once you stop being so predictable.

[identity profile] homofuckiens.livejournal.com 2011-11-25 01:39 am (UTC)(link)
Like you're any fucking better.

[identity profile] p2iioniichacker.livejournal.com 2011-11-25 08:32 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm not! I'm just telling you how things are.

[identity profile] homofuckiens.livejournal.com 2011-11-25 08:43 pm (UTC)(link)
Do you ever get tired of this?

[identity profile] p2iioniichacker.livejournal.com 2011-11-25 09:00 pm (UTC)(link)
...Of what?
