Is there anything you all want to cover before the noon hour arrives? I can advance us a few hours come the weekend or give some more time for whatever machinations you want to pursue before lunch.

I'm pretty good. Leo's digging himself a little hole, so if you want to pull him out I'm happy with it all.
 
@MsBloom which lounge car is Jane in, first class or common? I want to clarify as Reinhard has struck a conversation with her in a 'lounge car' but @Traveler is also in a lounge car with no one he recognizes. So I'm thinking Jane and Reinhard should be in the first class lounge. It makes little difference to me other than clarity. Leo would seem to make the most sense in the common lounge as he is actively avoiding the hoity toity, including especially I suppose Reinhard.

Yep, I assumed Reinhard had settled in the first class lounge, because he is too important to mix with the common folk. And you have it correct - Leo is actively trying to stay away from the German soldiers and the authority they command.

I also noted that Jane was moving towards the first class lounge in her post.
 
Makes sense, I was just going back and looking at the headers and we were all in the lounge. I updated my header to put us in the First Class Lounge away from all you riff raff!

Jane was heading for the First Class lounge in the hope of finding Walsh.

Speaking of which, did we decide on how he will end and are you going to write his demise or will that be another mystery for Jane to solve?
 
Well she is going to find someone else:)

Walsh's fate is certainly a mystery for Jane at the moment. I haven't settled on it myself at this point as to leave some options open.
 
I've been thinking that maybe he did find the spectacled woman again and she did away with him. However the more practical question is whether or not his body is still on the train or not.

Sending out an early Happy Thanksgiving to those celebrating this week! Hope everyone is doing well.
 
Also, just wanted everyone to know that I'll be offline from Tues. 11/30 - Sat. 12/4. I may be able to get the occasional OOC in on my phone if I can get a signal.

Hope you all are doing well.

Safe travels and thank you for the heads up.

We are at a bit of a pause so I'm going to summarize where I am with the story in hopes of us getting back 'on track'!

Estella: I was expecting her to emerge from getting dressed for her interview, but if you want me to initiate that I can. @Shiva the Cat

Jane: Reinhard has made contact and I am waiting for a response somewhere between "Yes Sir" and "Go Fuck Yourself" from Reinhard's suggestion she join him. @MsBloom

Aleks: Having just released him from the interview, I don't have anything immediately pending for him. @Vinaein

Leo: Unless I rearrange things, I don't see me getting to Leo's next problem between now and 11/30, but I may be able to adjust if you were planning on writing a lot before your departure. However if you are busy with preparations, I think it can all keep. @Traveler

@xavierrol Thank you!

I'm content to wait for other time-sensitive things to occur. If there isn't a lot going on and you want to write, I'll be on my normal writing schedule until Monday night. Until something happens to Leo we can just assume he's sipping on a drink, having smokes, and lurking sexily in the common lounge as the world swirls around him like a river.

Oh my bad fam, I was waiting for some kind of signal that I was good to proceed to the interview. I will jump on that ASAP.
 
Okay! So should I have Aleks run into anyone, or give everyone a bit more time?
 
I have missed so much. At this point I am going to say that as soon as Walsh crossed the threshold of that black car he bit down on a false tooth and took a cyanide pill. That's my take cause I know you guys tried to leave it so I could rejoin but at this point I'm not really feeling that I want to, and I don't see that changing.
 
@captain_bond Nice to hear from you.

Please remember that no one still in the story knows what happened to Walsh besides the Germans. That is by design for narrative purposes, please don't try to adjust the narrative of the ongoing story. You are welcome to feel he ended however you want, but you have left the story.

You are welcome to say hello in OOC and comment if you like, but do not try to adjust anyone's perception of the storyline please.

Thank you.
