Reunions-Dark Summer-The steampunk RP

Discussion: [1]

Sign up: Are still open!

The steam engine comes to a stop in a small port town, you all see a beautiful white sandy beach out on one side of the train and a steamy harbor city out in the distance out of the other side. The sky is bright blue as the oceans deep navy compliments it and white seagulls stand out against the cloudless sky. you see a set of brace train tracks the extend for miles over the navy blue seas, that leads out to s distant green island. You all have already boarded the eight cart train, the train is empty and you are seated in one of the three connected passenger cars, next to train itself. The rear four cars appear to be cargo cars, what they might contain is unknown to you.

[[youtube:_4IRMYuE1hI&feature=related]] Beautiful music fills the beautiful cars, the passenger cars are made of finely crafted wood on the inside and car covered in red carpets and red fabric covers the seating as well with brass trimming to accent it all. A young man gets on the second car and is greeted by an older man in a blue conductors outfit, he has gray mustache and his eyes are closed most of the time from what you can tell. He hasn't even anyone his name yet but he seems warm and happy.

The young man that gets on is Tashiro, he's dressed in beat up work close and is carting a burlap sack backpack over his shoulder. Anyone in the second car can see this, he quickly bows and thanks the man and sits in the closest seat facing the city as it is a empty.

the conductor walks to the front of the train and you soon hear his old worn voice echo through a set of speakers. "Hello, My name Samson Carter and I will be your conductor for this journey. To all of those now on the train you are free to move about the train cars as you will and we will arrival at the airport within the next three hours. Please enjoy your stay on this train and if you need anything please ring the bell above your seat by pulling the golden rope and a server will be with you. Thank you very much." Samson says as the train begins to move out of port and onto the train tracks that overshadow the ocean below.

"Well, this ought to be a good little family reunion." Said Miles, his expression blank and obviously bored.

GM note: ((Please read)) To all players please note what car you are on, and which side you are seating in.

"Never thought I'd be coming back here" Ray says with a soft sigh.

Car three right side

The door to the second car slides open again, and David, a young man clad in a three-piece suit that probably was amongst his best everyday wear. "Sorry I'm late, problem with my luggage." His eyes fell on the inhabitants of the car. "Ah, hello." He smiled at his brothers as he found himself a seat, opposite to Tashi. "Good to see you again, brothers."

"Nice to see you too." replied Miles in his usual emotionless voice.

"I hadn't been invited to a family reunion like this before," Alexia thought.

Alexia pushed a luggage cart across the train station with both hands. Once she was near the train, she put her backpack on, and carried three suitcases stacked right on top of each other. Each one was made of red fabic, with copper corners.

She stumbled onto the train, and took a seat in the second car, to the side facing away from the main platform.

She laid her suitcases on the seat next to her, and started tapping the seat with her fingers.

OOC: By the way, is any of my character's parents a player character yet?

"Good to hear you're your usual chipper self, Miley-boy." Daniel said as he dug into his pockets and retrieved his pipe before settling into his seat properly. "And how about you, Tashi, life's been treating you well, I hope."

Ray removes a cigarette from the pack in his right pocket, places it into his mouth, and lights it. He moves to the door between cars two and three and opens the door. "Hope I'm not interrupting anything". He says without bothering to remove the cigarette from his mouth.

OOC How long has it been since everyone has seen each other?

Clare d'Artagnan is sleeping soundly without a peep in the first car of the train, in her red overcoat. The Lord wake her when they arrive.

Alexia attempted to strike up a conversation, "Umm...hello. I'm Alexia. How are you?" she picked up her backpack and digged for some sweets that she put in the bottom of the small, unlocked pocket.

OOC: Alexia haven't met most of her family, and those she had met she met a long time ago, to a point where she barely remembers them, or they barely remember her.

"I'm fine." Ray says coldly. His attention shifts to the candy in her hand, "Do you do that when you're nervous or do you just like the taste?"

"I've been well, I guess, how have you two been?" Tashi says as he uses his x-ray vision to inspect everyone for weapons or injuries.

OCC: Four years for Tashiro, as for everyone else it's up to you guys to decide that please PM each other about relationships.

Alexia glanced at the handful of candy that she pulled out. She unwrap a piece of orange hard candy and popped it in my mouth, "I just like to eat candy all the time," she explained as she sucked on it.

She extended out a hand which was filled with an assortment of hard candy, taffy, and more, "Want one? I have plenty."

"Prosecution. Perfect record. End of story." he says, opening one of his books and begining to read.

Ray taps the end of his cigarette with the index and middle finger of his right hand, "Dulls the tastebuds. It wouldn't be nearly as sweet for me." He takes a seat on the left side of the car. "I am grateful for the offer though."

"Okay..." Alexia put her hand over her backpack, which was on her lap, and dropped the candy back into it. She wrinkled her nose. Smoking didn't seem very desirable to her.

She turned her head to look at the stotic prosecutor. She looked very handsome, someone she would loved to be married to-except he seemed a little dull, "He looks young for a prosecutor," she thought.

Meanwhile, Miles' mind was... miles... away, as he turned the pages of his book.

Fool! He couldn't have done it! He was at the bar, drinking that night!

"Things have been going pretty well for me." Daniel admitted. "The steel mill I recently bought is doing great, what with the demand being what it is, and workforce being as plentiful as it is. Very good, businesswise, but it's kinda boring, to be honest."

Seeing Miles with the book, she remembered something:

"I forgot to finish my chapter!" she dugged into the small unlocked pocket of her backpack and got out a thick hard-cover book. She opened it and started reading an intrigue novel.

"You bought a steel mill?" asked Miles, catching that detail despite his mind being almost completely immersed in his novel.

"Nope that was all some big lie to build your hopes and dash them for his own amusement." Ray adds sarcastically, "I'm surprised he got you with the old steel mill trick."

"Oh, do shut up." he said, his voice dripping with disinterest.

"Retracted, Prosecutor, didn't intend to offend you." Ray removes the cigarette from his mouth, snuffs it out on the floor, and tosses it out the window. "However, I am curious as to why you care about steel mills."

"Your humor is way ahead of its time, Mr. Clancy." Daniel said, a grin on his face. "But yes, the old owner lost his cool, sold the mill to the highest bidder... poor old man missed the steel boom with this much. Of course, it wasn't all bad." As he said this, he retrieved a leather bag, pulling out a small ingot with the logo of "Vulcan Steel" stamped on. "The mill probably never had a man who knows steel better than it does now." He touched the ingot lightly, causing it to reshape itself into a small sculpture of the factory.
