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.

[ Layton turns his head to Bakura and instantly smiles. ]

Yes, that will be very helpful, my boy.
shiromadoushi: (Side smile happy happy)

[[smiles warmly in return, shifting slightly to heft the suitcase up the last bit of distance with his right hand and set it gently in the compartment.]] They really do make those things high up, don't they? [[a small laugh. Man, he is so excited he's almost bouncing on his toes.]]
puzzling: (it's a good read)

Thank you, Bakura, yes, they do. It makes it quite the hassle for someone as short as I am.

[ And Layton takes notice of Bakura's excitement and gives a small chuckle. ] Are you looking forward to Kanto?
shiromadoushi: (Happy ^_^)

[personal profile] shiromadoushi 2011-11-29 02:03 am (UTC)(link)
Un! [[so cheerful]] Getting to explore someplace new... aaaa, I can't wait!
puzzling: (You are getting there)

[personal profile] puzzling 2011-11-29 02:11 am (UTC)(link)
[ Another chuckle. ]

Yes, it's quite exciting. I have even heard that Kanto is the region that has been in the Pokemon video games. [ Only heard though. Video games are so past his time. ]
shiromadoushi: (uwaaaa~!)

[personal profile] shiromadoushi 2011-11-29 02:12 am (UTC)(link)
Heeeeh, really? I wonder if it'll be any different than here, then! Or just a different map!
puzzling: (always the morning paper)

[personal profile] puzzling 2011-11-29 02:18 am (UTC)(link)
We'll find out soon enough when we arrive.

Have you found a seat yet?
shiromadoushi: (Yo!)

[personal profile] shiromadoushi 2011-11-29 02:22 am (UTC)(link)
Un! Eagle and I are up ahead some, Gollum's holding my seat for me. We'll have the window seat, since he wants to see what he can of the ride too.
puzzling: (on an adventure for just the two of us)

[personal profile] puzzling 2011-12-13 02:28 am (UTC)(link)
Yes, the ride to Kanto will be quite a sight. I can only imagine what we will see during the six hour ride.
