Vien startled as the person seemed to disappear suddenly. He blinked a few times before sitting up, rubbing at his eyes before walking back to the cart. God, he must be running lower on sleep than normal. He sat back down in his seat, tapping his foot to hide the nervousness that caused his tics to act up
"Well if you've had them so long maybe you should know how to handle them better sweetheart", Theo clenched his fist at his side trying to prevent himself from getting caught up. He didn't need to start anything before he got to where he was going, and he wasn't quite sure how much longer that would be.
"W-Would you lower your voice please?" Vien asked the guy next to him quietly. "I m-mean it's fine if you don't, loud noises just give m-me headaches," he added quietly, folding his hands in his lap sheepishly
Theo was struck by a pang of guilt. "Right," he took a seat, "sorry kid." Despite the fact that he had no idea whether this person was older or younger than him, Theo had taken to the habit of referring to people in such vague terms.
"N-No, it's fine," Vien stammered, his anxiety causing him to panic slightly as he thought he had made the stranger upset. "U-Um, what's your name?" he asked, trying to find some way to make conversation. That tended to be a way to get people to feel better, right?
"Theo," he extended his hand in greeting "what's yours?". Theo loved to talk, more than he loved to talk he loved to meet new people.
Vien took Theo's hand gingerly, resisting the urge to let his hand twitch out of nervousness. "Vien," he answered, a little proud that he had managed to keep the stutter out of his voice
"Where are you going?" Theodorick had another question for him almost as soon as he answered. Anything was better than wasting away in this train car in silence.
"C-Cable Ridge," Vien answered, reaching up to fiddle with his locket absently. "I'm sort of…vacationing t-there for a while," he continued, tapping his foot to hide his twitching
Cable Ridge, eh? That was where he'd fallen. Immediately he read the conductor's mind. They had 15 minutes.
"Me too…" Theo felt it was an odd coincidence that he'd end up on a rather vacant train with a stranger going the exact same place as he. "Looks like we should be arriving soon" He pointed out checking his watch and sitting back crossing his legs. Theodorick couldn't wait to stretch his legs on solid ground again, places like this made him feel cramped after awhile.
Vien nodded, crossing his legs to keep them from twitching. He mentally cursed his condition, and how his anxiety worsened it. "May I ask why you're going t-there?" he asked, almost managing to keep his stutter away
“I’m going where the wind takes me and right now that’s Cable Ridge, what about you?” Theo watched his movements realizing soon that the other had anxiety, he hoped he wasn’t over stepping his bounds.
"Just spending a little while there to get a b-break from reality for a while," Vien responded quietly. It was a half-truth, one he had practiced telling at this point. He was going to take a break from his job, or at least try to, but he knew he probably wouldn't last long unless he was paid to kill someone in town
Raziel drifted off, but kept aware. A few of the passengers were talking. He c decided he'd go to sleep, having spent the last few days in Hell and all.
Ursa was disappointed Vien left, but he had looked rather uncomfortable. Now alone, her boredom creeped back up on her.
//Sorry, its short, but I was trying to plop myself back in…
//I think I might be on a different time schedule from you guys (it's the early evening right now)
Can I join?
//I dunno, it doesn't say closed, but I'd wait for @shurikenwolfbadass_13 to answer that
(oof hello I'm here)
Vien sat back down next to Ursa, fiddling with his locket absently. He took a deep breath, trying to remind himself he wasn't in any immediate danger
Pearl kept up with her little balance game. ((Idk what to do))
Can I join?
Yes.
Thanks!

Theo heard the train conductor announce their arrival at the Cable Ridge station. The train slowed and came to a stop with a small jut. He cracked his neck out of habit and stood up stretching. "Looks like we've arrived then," He felt the awkwardness of his own statement but how odd that so many strangers were all headed to the same place as he.
//are the cabins in like a camp ground or a like a gated community type of situation?
(A little of both tbh.)
Vien grabbed his duffel bag, hugging it close to his chest as the train began to slow to a stop. He was a little anxious to get to the place he was staying, eager to get away from the suffocating amount of people on the train
Pearl, being close to the door, hopped off, looking around. "I could stay here…"
River grabbed her suitcase and her duffel bag and got off the train. She walked towards the front of the station, buying a chocolate bar and headed towards the gate.
