((Maybe you should post something so that the current players have somewhere to start))

((I. Yes. I have no idea where to start  :c ))

((Train station?))

AW YEAH MIRU IS ON A TRAINSTATION. He eventually reaches it, stumbling off and looking vaguely confused at where he is. Lot's of squinting. He shuffles forward some before beginning to casually bounce along, looking around as he did so. What a vaguely empty place. Quiet. Hm. He's kinda creeped out. Feels like one of those miyazaki films where you're left in the middle of nowhere. Like Spirited Away. Oh gosh is vague romance gonna happen to him? He stood outside the station for a while, face gradually going red as he was all flustered at his thoughts. Gosh darn it fleece child.

A green pegasus was looking around in a train station. She was observing the trees, identifying the types. She didn't notice that she bumped into a pony. After a bit she realized.

"Umm... Hi." She said, being nervous.

Miru stumbled away from the female that bumped him, snapped out of his fantasies and just looking flat out embarrassed. He stared at her in a mostly emotionless way, stepping back till there was a yard between them. "Yes. Hello." He stated stiffly, ears back against his head and mane as usual. He was unsure how to feel about the female pegasus, not sure what to even do. Small murmurings from the Miru.

Honey was buzzing around the train station, looking for a train table.
"Please please please I CAN'T be late today!" She shooked her head and continued to look.

Blazing Legend practically flew out of the train as he was eager to get he feet back on the ground. Blaze never did like taking the train, but some sacrifices have to be made when given a deadline.

Miru had no idea what was going on, feeling quite lost. He squinted and looked about some more, then just decided to sit by the wall outside the station, staring off into the distance to pass the time. Yes, this is nice. Miru is pleased by the view.

Blazing picks up his luggage at the luggage claim before stopping beside Miru to partake in the sight seeing. "Truly, nothing can compare to the beauty that is the land around us, for it is by its scale that we measure all other things."

Miru stared at the maroon male beside him, having to repeat what he just said a few times to be able to understand it. He nodded in agreement, going to stare back out at the expanse. "You are very poetic. I can see your words being quoted someday." Miru mused, brows raised.

"Maybe," Blaze replies optimistically to the complement, but keeps his gaze enthralled on the sight of Tailorina.

Miru had nothing else to say, enjoying the environment in since with the stranger.  This is very nice, yes. He wish he had a camera at this point. He wanted to make a postcard to send back to his friends. A bit dorky grin appeared on his face at the thought of their reactions. He wondered if any of them would be jealous.

Blaze closes his eyes as he focuses on the sense that was his own. Now seeing the landscape fully in three dimensions, Blaze could take in the stunning intricacies of even the pebbles that lined the paths.

"Excuse me! But do you guys know when the next train to Manehatten comes?" Honey shouted to two stallions sitting on a bench. She stopped flying and rushed up to them with a look of despair on her face.

Dragged back from his meditation, Blaze replies to Honey by saying, "No, I don't.Try asking at the stations front desk."

Well, I think I do. 10:25, probably." Replied Airy to the buzzing Honey. "I'm going too.

"Oh, great!" Honey sighed in relief.
"Then if I hurry, I can get there in time." She sat down on the bench next to the earth pony stallion and sighed once more, before she took up a note block from her bag and started to write things down, if somepony saw it, it would look like a messy diary to them.

"Your welcome." She replied with a smile. Then, she trot to a seat and took her journal.
She wrote:

Today I met somepony on her way to Manehatten, too. She thought she was late, so I told her the right time.

Remembering that he's on a schedule, Blaze jumps down off the train platform and begins walking into North Tailorina

Ink's ears went up, quietly fretting to himself. He pulled himself up, and began to follow him. He didn't want to be alone, and he liked what this guy had to say. "Where are you going?" he asked, hesitation not even trying to hide at all in his voice. Socializing was never his strong point.

"Everywhere, my patron's map isn't going to draw its self,"

"Oh. Can I come with? I don't really remember why I came here, so it would be nice to walk with someone." He peeped, looking all hopeful at him. Yes, please let the fleece pone follow.

"As long as you can keep up," Blaze says apathetically.

"Of course I can keep up!" He warbled, feeling confident in his own abilities.

"Good, because I have roughly a hundred miles to cover by midnight," Blaze says with a smirk.

"I brought veggies." He commented, looking so confident that the veg will help him go that far. "So what are you going through here for? Around the world in 80 days?"

"Uhm, do you know where those are going?" Honey put down her "diary" and stared in the direction the two stallions were heading.

"Of course I know where I'm going, my bearing is North East twenty-five degrees, and I'm here to make a map for a wealthy patron, who shall remain nameless," Blaze replies arrogantly.

"Do you have a compass on you, or in your head?" Gawked Miru, who was quite impressed with the haughty male. "Imma make a map too!" He bleated excitedly, maybe even wiggling a little. He wants to make a map for his mentor, yes!

"Compass in my head? Well, I guess it's kind of like that, but completely different," Blaze says, not loosing his pace to the conversation.

((This image will be appearing at the start of all my posts so you don't confuse the character I'm playing as to be my avatar. It also reminds me how angry this character is!))

Nearby the train station was a lobby where passengers coming off the train could rest and gather travel information. Strangely enough, though, this lobby area was very empty. There was only one mare there, sitting down while stoically looking outside a window towards the town of North Tailorina. She had a pale orange skin tone and a grey mane that seemed to change to a lighter shade the farther down the hair it went. She didn't seem very enthusiastic about what she saw although it appeared as though she had been staring at the city for some time.

In fact, how long was she here for? What was her business here in the first place?

A mysterious stallion with a top hat, a cape and a rod was there, in the downfall of the North Tailorina, looking around the place. "If we didn't make a mistake... there should be ponies who meet here..."

"Do you...Have that map thing in your head too?" Miru's eyes were all big like a kid meeting a super hero. If this guy says yet, he'd finally have someone to relate to with all this weird mind map  stuff! Little bounce in Miru's step.

"Map in my head? Well, I guess you could call it that,"

An overly dressed unicorn slowly walks off the first class session of the train. The unicorn was wearing an outfit as if she was about to go on a month expedition in the rain forest. A small smiled formed on her face as she examined the train platform. Once she heard about a train leading to new land she just had to jump on board. The mare waited by the train for somepony to bring her her suitcase. As she waited, the mare pulled out a little notebook from her saddle bag. She started to mumble to her self as she went over what she had planned for this little trip.

"Well... We come a little bit too earlier... we will going to explore a little bit what there was around here and come back." The mysterious pony vanished, like if nothing happened there.

(( The train has already
arrived at North Tailorina  ^-^ ))

After a few minutes of mumbling to her self, an earth pony brought the mare her suitcase. She smiled warmly as she tucked away her notebook. As she thanked the pony she gave him a rather big tip. She grabbed her suitcase and walked off the platform before the pony could protest. As she stepped off the platform she let out a big sigh of joy. Looking at the endless sea of empty land made her smile grow bigger and bigger. But before her plan can start, she needed to see what this land has to offer. The mare set her suitcase down as she slowly sat down on the platform. Humming a tune, the mare pulled out the notebook again to go over what she planned on doing here for this month.

Airy leaped on the train, feeling excited that the train has finally come. She trot in the 1st class session and next to Honey.

Finally! It came! She thought. She was definitely excited.


                                                                Definitely.

((Do uh. Do we all get on the train then))

(Yep.)

Joystick had taken his seat on the train, daydreaming to pass the time.

(Thought we were already there... oh well)
"Oops, that'll be the train. Better get on it," Blaze says, making a sudden dash onto the train.

Miru couldn't help but bleat as he mad a mad dash...bounce? for it as well. He slid on in such a way, with so much spirit, that even a baseball player would be jealous! He could hear the umpire declare 'safe!' in his mind! He gets a little carried away and is just on the floor, crying while a train worker is nudging him out of the way for other passengers to get on.

(( I thought the train already left. :ll ))

Joystick viewed the scene from his seat. Well, that's... interesting, for lack of a better word. Joy thought, wondering what was going on with the pony.

((Ops, deleted my comment, I'll re add it here, but we seem to have made this a little confusing))
Honey looked at the train and squeed.
"Ah, the train got here earlier than planned, great!" She picked up her little bag and skipped unto the train.

((I suppose we were supposed to be waiting for the train, not disembarking it.

((I liked the idea Julien had, let's go with that))
Honey sat down on a seat in second class and hoped that the other ponies would hurry up and get on the train.

Blaze sat himself down in the economy section. It was a little cramped, but the savings were worth I in Blaze's mind.

The mare hummed a tune as she read over her notes. She would look up every once in a while to examine the land and see if it fit her plan. With a satisfied smile, the mare closed her note book and slid it back into her saddle back. She then slowly stood up as she gazed at the empty land. A big smiled formed on her face as she tool in the scenery. With a giggle, the mare turned and headed toward the lobby. After a short while of slow walking, Eleanor made it to the lobby. As she entered the center she examined the room. Not much was here to see expect another mare. Eleanor was a bit thrown off by that; she didn't remember seeing her get off the train. She then turned her gaze away from the mare and started to walk toward a little stand. With a small smile, the mare started to fumble through the pamphlets, hoping to find one about this mystery land.

Miru looked at Joystick, and Blazing. He wanted to sit by both of them, yes, but he didn't wanna be that restless child who would keep getting up. He's gonna. Sit by Blazing. And look over (back?) at Joystick. Those long ears are all up and listening to everything, all curious. Trains, man.

"Wonder when we officially depart," Joystick said to himself. I'm pretty sure everyone is on the train. Shouldn't be long. Don't know the exact time though.

Miru gets over excited and looses control of making controlled expressions. He becomes so excited his head looks like a realistic frog as he gazes at Joystick in wonder. Great.

Lucidity's ears shook subtley when the other pony entered the room, but she didn't move otherwise. She only continued staring out the window. However, when she heard the pony shuffling through those pamphlets, she just barely turned her head and glanced sideways.

"Those pamphlets are blank. I've already checked them." she said sternly. "This place isn't exactly a tourist attraction, so what are you doing here?"

Eleanor's ears twitch as the stranger spoke up. She moved her bangs out of her eyes to examine the pamphlet better. The mare let out a sigh at the sight of the blank pamphlets. As she let go of her bangs she softly said,
How strange, I was thinking the same question for you.
Though, I am sure you have your reasons. My
reason can not be explained just yet. Though...
Eleanor then turned toward the stranger. With a smile she continued,
I can tell you my name, it is Eleanor Smiles.
I would say its nice to meet you but I am
more surprised to meet you. When I got
off the train I did not see you. So I can
assume you either live or work here.
Of course, you could have been in a
different section of the train than me.
Oh, so many questions but so little time.

Lucidity let out a sigh and closed her eyes briefly before rising from her spot and approaching Eleanor Smiles slowly. When she reached Eleanor, she opened her eyes to reveal a slightly menacing stare.

"I'm Lucidity, a top ranking student from Princess Luna's School for gifted Unicorns and I assure you I used a more convenient method to get here from Canterlot. I'm here on assignment to investigate this... strange place on behalf of the school. I'm also supposed to keep an eye out for suspicious individuals, which may include ponies who conceal their motives for coming to a place like this as though they were on vacation."

"A student from Princess Luna... Really interesting." Thought the Mysterious Pony just lie down outside of this "house".

Eleanor smiled was still across her face. The mare had a killer stare, Eleanor will give her that, but she is a business mare. A little school filly isn't any where near as threatening as her father when he is in a business meeting. The mare just smiled as she said,
That is cute, you are sent on a little mission. Well, I
can assure you this is not a vacation. Like I said, I
can not explain the details of my business here.
If you like, you may follow me for a bit. I have to
examine the area, which I assume you will be doing
the same sooner or later.
Eleanor flashed a big smile before turning around. As she headed toward the exit she continued,
I wish you all my luck with your field trip Miss
Lucidity. Hopefully you will join me later on
my expedition. Good Bye Miss Lucidity!
The mare waved Lucidity with a smile before walking through the exit. Annoyed, Eleanor blew at her bangs to let out some steam. Every second wasted in the lobby put her plans back a few seconds. The mare then pulled out her note book with her mouth as she levitated out a pen. She then started to write down a few new notes as she waited to see if Lucidity would join her.

Joy gazed at the pony, smiling back. He turned away for a moment to flag down an attendant and ask them when they would depart.

Seeing as the other pony reacted in a positive fashion, the lavender male's heart fluttered with excitement! He had a big ol' grin on his face like a ten year old, turning to beam at Blazing Legends some. Yes you shall be the standin for my godfather. You almost look like him.

Valice casually rolled her eyes as Eleanor invited her on some sort of expedition, although that didn't bother her as much as that overly optomistic smile Eleanor wore. What did have to be so happy about? Regardless, it seemed that there were several other ponies occupying the vicinity now, so she decided that it was time for her to start moving.

It just so happened that she felt like moving in the same direction as the others. In fact, she remembered it was her duty to keep an eye on suspicious ponies here, so it was definitely in the interest of her school for her to monitor them... to make sure they don't get into trouble, obviously.

With the last note scribbled down Eleanor was ready to get a move on. She slid the note book back into her bag as the pen levitated behind it. Just before she headed off into the unknown, the mare pulled out a large, black camera. The mare smiled as she turned on camera. She the took a few practice shots of the train station and a few of her self. The excited mare smiled happily as the pictures turned out fine. As she placed the camera around her neck, Eleanor was finally ready to head out. With her suitcase dragging behind her, the mare walked off the platform as she hummed a happy tune. First thing on her list was to set up a camp site. The mare wasn't sure if to make the site near or away from the train station. After mulling it over for a bit, she decided to keep it a good distance from the train station. With the a new plan ready to execute, the mare slowly started to make her way out into the unknown.

Honey was really stressed, and started to wiggle on her seat, giving off some nervous noises. She knew she didn't have to worry, because the train got here early, but it was in her nature to stress like this.

The mare stare was lock on the abandoned city as she made her way toward it. A lot of questions flooded her mind about this city. The question the stuck out from the rest was why is this place so empty? Eleanor continued her way down further the dirt path as she mulled the question over. After walking what felt like a mile, the mare turned back to look at the train station. She could barely see the station but a orange mare was easy to see. Eleanor formed a small smile, as much as she would enjoy the company she assumed the mare would pester her for answers. With one last glance at the platform the mare turned her gaze back to the city and continued her way down the dirt path.
The mare traveled another few miles as she took in the scenery. This place was a lot prettier than she imagine. Hopefully some of the beauty will be intact when Eleanor is done with the place. With a happy sigh, the mare decided to stop to set up camp. The train station was out of view and the beauty of the abandoned city could be seen from here. The mare saw a little abandoned shack that was covered in over grown vines and trees. Eleanor smiled happily at the little shack and decided to make it her main base. She then made her way toward the shack, examining it with each step. As her eyes were locked in the shack, the mare levitated an old leather book from her saddle bag. Taking a seat on her suitcase, the mare fumbled through her little book. After a while of flipping pages, Eleanor found what she was looking for. With a small smile, the mare raised her hoofs together and whispered Dianoigó. As she slowly pulled her hoofs apart the vines slowly pulled away from the door. Once the vines were far enough to enter the building, Eleanor dropped her hoofs. With a satisfied sigh, the mare slowly made her way in the building. As the mare disappeared into the shack, the vines slowly moved back into their original spot.

The Train rumbled as the engine started. Airy was sitting next to Honey, feeling worried that she was stressed.

"You all right? And what's your Name? I should've asked before." She asks.

About time. Joystick thought to himself as the train started to move.

Honey raised her wings and almost took to the air as the train started to rumble, but calmed down a little and looked at the pegasi.
"Tha' names Humming Honey, and I'm so sorry if I am looking stressed, its just that I got an important interview with a very important pony today, and I overslept but I think this train can get me there in time I am so..." She took a deep breath from the quick rambling.
"Ahm fine, I am just stressed for no reason." She said in a much calmer tone and took down her wings again.

Blaze tipped his hat forward as he tries to sleep through the train ride.

Time as passed, the train isn't arrived yet... we continue to watch these two ponies. *sigh* Looks like we will go back to the train station, waiting the other ponies to come. Or... just watching these ponies who's already arrived. What happened to the ponies on the train? Did something bad happened during their track? Like... a monster attack? ... We are not so sure in 100% about this.

Lucidity stopped short when she saw Eleanor walk inside the shack with the vines on it. You couldn't get anymore suspicious than that. What exactly was in that shack and why did that pony go in there like she were looking for it? Lucidity wanted to follow her, but she felt it to be foolish, since she didn't know the pony who went inside, the building itself, and even anything about this city. As pessimistic as ever, she couldn't dismiss the possibility that this was a trap to stop her meddling.

But obviously she wasn't just going to let this suspicious pony get away. No siree. She wasn't going to let a beat up looking shack get in her way of discovering the truths she had been put in charge of finding out. With a small snarl, she marched right up to that door and raised both her hooves, as to slam the door open. However, she hesitated and reconsidered her position in this. Perhaps just a polite knock was more in order here, so Lucidity simply knocked a few times.

"H-hey! Open up! What are you doing in here?!"

Blaze begins snoring softly in his economy class train cab.

Eleanor smiled as she heard what she assumed was Lucidity. As she set her suite case down she shouted,
Hello Miss Lucidity! Glad you could join
me on this little adventure. Do not worry
about me! Everything is fine.
Eleanor smiled as she pulled out an old tea cup. After a long walk the mare decided she could treat her self with a cup of tea. She placed the cup on table and started to dig through her saddle bag. After fishing out a jar of leafs, the mare sat down on an old chair near the table. With her hooves, she crushed the leaves as she levitated the bottle of water out of her bag. She then cast a heat spell to make the water boil. After all the leaves were crushed, she gently poured a lump of leaves in a cup as she poured the hot water. The mare smiled as the smell of mint tea filled the air.

Seems like there's a stallion sitting on a chair with a table in front of the train station, sipping his tea. "Ah... It's good to drink some tea while viewing the green color of the nature and the blue color of the sky. I seen those beautiful flowers on this land, roses, daisies and this poison joke..." Some seconds after, he's unsure what he just said. "Wait a minute... poison joke?" he looks at his right as he sees a poison joke, just one. "What the... Why is there a poison joke here? Okay, that's strange like me..."

"I'm Airy Leaf. I was sent a note to come to Manehattan, for some reason. It didn't say who it was from, anyways." Airy started to become nervous, and blinked several times. "I'm just nervous... for some reason."

"Heh, Ah can relate." Honey smiled as she leaned back on the seat, feeling more comfortable.

The stallion picks carefully the Poison joke with something and puts it into a jar.

((Heeelloooo???))
