The Underground has really terrible reception for audio or video. I don't even know if text will work, but it seems like the most plausible communication method.

Somebody should really get on setting up a better signal down here...

So anyway. I guess curiosity got the better of me. I haven't really ever been on a train before, so I decided, hey, it can't hurt to give it a little ride? I mean, it really can't go anywhere...and yeah, I don't know if we're going anywhere or not.

...And now I can't get off. I don't think anybody can, there's somebody...something, stopping us from getting off. And this train...it's just wrong. The ticking stopped. As in, completely stopped, not just quieted down or anything. And it feels...I don't know, like something doesn't want people here.

It's very, VERY weird...

...not to mention what's going on outside the windows. That can't be real. We're Underground and still in the City. That...that's not happening at home. They're okay, they have to be.

This train isn't right. There's something else going on here, and it feels like more than just a curse. Whatever it is, I'm gonna find out what.

If I have any friends still aboveground, would one of them mind taking care of my puppies, dog and sheep until they let us off?

I got some investigating to do.

[PRIVATE TO SELF//HACKABLE]

We've got murders going on here, Hanna. Weird, weird stuff...I'd say this is just the work of a crazy person, but this is the City, that's not possible. So, we start hunting for clues.

First, we need to figure out if there's a timeline and pattern in the deaths...the first body was discovered after the blackout...but then we've got at least one other death that doesn't appear to be linked to the first...at least not in cause.

Time to start poking around. Asking people questions and whatnot.

[ooc: Hanna is in compartment number 4, and this takes place after the discovery of the bodies. Feel free to hack his talking to himself as he begins to poke around and see why people are dropping like flies.]

The signal works perfectly. More than likely, your immediate environment is the true cause.

Good. Was worried the text wouldn't go through...

...There's got to be something else, though. The train can't be the only reason...

You misunderstand; the Underground's signal has always worked perfectly and I speak from experience on that.

Maybe it's the train messing it up today, then. Other people seem to be having trouble.

Is the train actually missing stops?

It's not letting people off.

Bad reception maybe the least of your worries.

I'll be okay.

You're stuck there too, Hanna?

I can take care of Lassie and Ignazi and the kids, if you want.

Yeah, I am. Don't worry, I'm okay.

I'd really appreciate that, Penny. Thanks so much.

Try to stay that way, please? The video feeds and stuff on the network aren't too clear, but it looks bad down there.

It's not a problem. Like Doll said, we've got it handled.

...Yeah, it's not good. Don't worry, I've got my marker and my hammer. And if all else fails, I can beat people with my crutch.

You guys are the best.

It's always good to have a backup defense, I guess.

Hey, it's really nothing. Just worry about not getting... eaten by the train, or whatever's going on.

I always have a backup defense.

I'll be careful. I gotta figure out what's happening to the other passengers, though...

Oh, not you too, Hanna. Please be careful!

Me an' Penny'll look after everythin' for ye 'ere.

I will be, Doll. Promise, I'll be careful...I'm just glad the City had the decency to let me take the crutch with me, otherwise I'd just be sitting here bored.

Thanks...I owe you guys big time.

Wouldn't 'ave been right to take you an' not even let you be able to get around...anyway, 'm glad you're alright for now. Keep on checkin' in with us?

Date: 2010-11-21 06:22 am (UTC)
From: [identity profile] manofgnee.livejournal.com
No, it wouldn't have...but the City isn't exactly right, is it...?

I'll give you guys regular updates.

freckleddoll: (Freckles - blimey)
From: [personal profile] freckleddoll
...no. No, it ain't.

Alright. I 'ope you'll be back with us soon.

I'll be back soon, promise. Stay safe on the surface.
