I think I can. I think I can. I think I can.

Who: Everybody on the Magnet Train + Anyone who wants to help evacuate said train!
Where: The Magnet Train!
When: April 26th!
Summary: Train robberies, Pokemon battles, and electrical fires!
Rating: If it goes higher than PG, I'll edit!
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!}

[Cherry takes off after Rogue like a shot, leaving Jimmy standing back with Leader still at his side. Oddly, Jimmy doesn't move for a moment, at least not until Leader nudges him forwards a bit with a short push of his head and a low growl. There would be plenty of time for talking later. Right now, something was on fire, and you don't want things to be on fire when the train is still packed with innocent people.

Jimmy runs after Asahina at a jog, pulling a different pokeball from his belt as he goes. Lucky appears in a flash of white, hitting the ground running between Jimmy and Leader.]


Lucky, please listen, ok? Something might on fire and we might need help putting it out...but please, please don't do anything until I tell you to!

[The Buizel usually would have scoffed, but something about Jimmy's tone of voice keeps him from doing so. He snorts and just runs ahead slightly, following Asahina as she follows Joker and the two Furrets rushing down the aisles.]

[Rogue reaches the engineering room door.... by which I mean slams himself headfirst into the metal obstacle and bounces off. Joker gives a sympathetic wince.]

Rogue, ya alright? Tell me ya ain't dead...

[Nope, not dead, as proven when Rogue hops up onto his itty bitty furry feat with a bewildered shake of his head. While the Furret wobbles in place for a moment, Joker goes to try the door and gives a scoff under his breath.]

It's locked.

Locked? [Asahina stays curiously far away from the door, holding Donut a little tighter against her chest. Now isn't the time to get clamy palms and a sinking pit in her stomach over something like a locked door. Not when there's a train full of people who could get seriously hurt.

She sets down the Slowpoke and reaches for two pokeballs attached to her belt.]


Should we break it down?

[Cherry runs up just a second before Jimmy, both panting slightly but not quite yet out of breath. For a kid his age, Jimmy's got an unusual amount of stamina. Then again, shots of adrenaline could keep you going for days if you let it.

He looks over at the door, Cherry standing next to Rogue now, bumping him gently with her head to see if he's ok.]


..I dunno. Either that or we need to figure out if we can find a key or something, which I guess...the conductor would'a had it, right? That means a Rocket has it now.

[He looks over to Joker with his hand hovering over his own pokeballs, definitely waiting for him to be the one to make the decision.]
