* LeeroyJenkins: Atticus charges at the Steward after Glad-One calls out to it. He gets tossed against the broken pipe for his trouble, and lets out a doglike whimper.

* NiceJobFixingItVillain: The Steward tosses Atticus next to the broken pipes. While it goes after Tulip, he manages to turn off the water to stop the flooding.

* TheComicallySerious: Sad-One speaks in a monotone and often is TheEeyore. He also has some of the funniest one-liners.


Added DiffLines:

* CutenessProximity: Subverted. Due to trying to find a way home, Tulip is disappointed and surprised rather than amazed to see an entire kingdom of ''talking [[RidiculouslyCuteCritter corgis]]''.


Added DiffLines:

* LogicalLatecomer: Tulip within minutes of arriving to Corginia is able to solve Atticus's problem with the shadow monster. This is because she can cross the river, due to being taller than two feet, and has the stamina to keep up with a corgi. She also analyzes that a little spider can't cause flooding.


Added DiffLines:

* RidiculouslyCuteCritter: Corginia is a kingdom full of sentient corgis that like to lie in the sun and have their belly rubbed.

* SurpriseCreepy: The idea of being stuck on a train with no way out is a little unnerving, but helped by the whimsical characters Tulip interacts with. Then she comes across the Steward: a mass of tentacles with a realistic and emotionless face, flaming eye sockets that turn into machine guns, and a creepy robotic voice.

** Atticus claims the door to the next car is locked. When asked how to unlock it, he says you have to put your hand on the knob and turn. As a corgi, this would naturally present some problems for him.

Stuck with a strange glowing number on her hand which she cannot figure out the meaning of, she has to make her way through the cars hoping to find a way home.

!!Tropes:
* AsYouKnow: Tulip outlines her predicament to One-One, even though they've been on the train for a week and would surely have discussed this before.
* BiggerOnTheInside: The cars have greater internal volume than their outside dimensions would imply.
* CombatTentacles: The Beast is essentially a mass of tentacles.
* DoingInTheWizard: It seems like a shadow monster is raising the tides in Corginia, but the monster is actually just a spider's shadow and the tides are a result of a broken water pipe.
* EldritchLocation: Tulip has spent a week traversing the cars to no avail. The train seemingly has no end, it possesses creatures which defy logic, and the cars themselves have properties which don't fit their external design.
* EyeBeams: The Beast has machine guns which emerge from the eye holes in its mask.
* FinishDialogueInUnison: When Atticus attempts to explain the monster.
-->'''Atticus:''' I will admit, there are some things I haven't told you about Corginia.\\
'''Atticus''' and '''Tulip:''' Like why there's a giant shadow monster!\\
'''Atticus:''' ''Yes.'' Patience, young lady.
* FireballEyeballs: The Beast has blue flame coming out of its eye sockets. Behind the mask is a tube generating the flame.
* GettingCrapPastTheRadar: Atticus complains that everything in Corginia is going "paws up"[[note]]"tits up"[[/note]], then apologizes for his language.
* InsurmountableWaistHighFence: The corgis are unable to defeat the monster on their own, as the two-foot deep river is impossible for them to cross. Tulip can just walk across it.
* LiteralSplitPersonality: One-One is a ball-robot with two personalities: Glad-One, the eternal optimist; and Sad-One, the eternal pessimist. The two can split down the middle to function independently.
* LivingShadow: Subverted. The corgis fear the shadow monster which raises the tides, but it's actually just a spider's shadow being cast by a work light.
* MyInstinctsAreShowing: The corgis of the corgi car are intelligent and can speak English, but still act like dogs. Atticus doesn't like being picked up, likes belly-rubs, and so forth.
* OntologicalMystery: Tulip is stuck on a train with no idea what it is or how to leave.
* ToiletHumor: The second car visited in the episode is a car which is filled with constant, disembodied farts. Atticus also boasts that Corginia has many tall surfaces on which to potty, as dogs tend to do.
