The doomtrain is fire, it is death. The weird shifter dude is obviously a complete nonce and Shiro isn't making any better of a case for himself either. Yet Narrative Causality and anime logic is the only thing that will save him since this one isn't the 'anyone can die' type. If somebody steps out from behind a sunbeam at any point, I might have an aneurysm.

I decided I'd try one of those 'in media res' things.

So the cliff notes version of what's happened off-screen is the train's been kidnapping people to take them to the city. It's normally meant to take the souls of the departed to the underworld. It may or may not be a reference to various ghost trains in Final Fantasy.

Lia is investigating the city because she's a stickybeak. She found out about the train. She then somehow drew its notice.

She is also an idiot who jumps to conclusions, so she's assuming some sort of giant bug is the mastermind based on some off the cuff comparisons with the city and a hive. Don't be surprised when Lia keeps accusing various insects of being the mastermind or rambles about the winged menace behind everything.

Presently it's early morning. Lia is running downhill towards the city. The train is chasing her. Shiro has run up to ask what all this fuss is about. Arden and Cecil are on a collision course too. Roland is in a nice (not at all insectile) house on the edge of the city and has woken up and is trying to use harsh language on the train.

Hail hail, the gang's all here. Anybody got a camera to commemorate this event?

Sorry for the delay everyone! I was having trouble deciding on the best thing to do until I remembered I was doing the unreliable narrator thing. Also some Deus Ex may have been involved.

Batgirl, Lia's running away from the train so I added a little complication to involve Magnolia.

In a sense, Roland is also a train. Also depending on how this goes for him, this may be a great setup for a train suplex.

Or a word problem on a mathematics test.
