Captain Zuloo Posted May 17, 2009 Ok, Roll Call time! Let's see... Arin Schafer - Check! Austin Parker Jr. - Check! Billy Brixley - Check! Elanor Grigsby - Check! Gary Greaseman - Check! Herman Richwell - Check! Mark Williams - Check! Elizabeth Thornton...Mrs. Thronton? She's on the passenger list, but she isn't present. Has anyone seen her? Where is Mrs Elizabeth Rose Thornton?

Alice Posted May 17, 2009 You've got some nice boulders there, big and round. I'll be glad to help you out, depending on what you want out of first. Mr. Greaseman, I am not some sort of object for your entertainment. My "boulders" are none of your damn business. As far as I see it, we are on equal footing and your chauvenism does not impress me. You can help me sort through these rock samples or go away, but I will not tolerate you treating me as a play thing. This is one of the many things that is wrong with society today. Too many men treating women the way you just treated me. You will be show to your sleeping quaters later. I will be sleeping alone! I will need my rest so that I can assist Ms. Thornton to the best of my ability. Wow, you've got a way with the ladies, Grease. I should take notes. *Takes pen out of pocket* Aw, nurts! It exploded. I need to get a pocket protector... Herman, do not take notes from Mr. Greaseman. His "way" is unimpressive and boring. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Shadows Posted May 17, 2009 Wow, you've got a way with the ladies, Grease. I should take notes. *Takes pen out of pocket* Aw, nurts! It exploded. I need to get a pocket protector... Stick with me, we'll get you all straightened out. Well, as straight as we can. Mr. Greaseman, I am not some sort of object for your entertainment. My "boulders" are none of your damn business. Then perhaps you shouldn't go walking around flaunting them. "Oh everyone, I'm not famous or anything, but look at my big boulders. Aren't they something? So interesting! Maybe you'd like to take a closer look at them?" If you didn't mean it, you shouldn't have said it. Typical woman, cut a guy down for showing an interest in their boring hobby. As far as I see it, we are on equal footing and your chauvenism does not impress me. You can help me sort through these rock samples or go away, but I will not tolerate you treating me as a play thing. What did you think I meant? Clearly, you've got your mind in the gutter, missy! This is one of the many things that is wrong with society today. Too many men treating women the way you just treated me. Actually, I hate to disappoint you, but those other boulders you seem to think I was referring to aren't particularly impressive. Literally, you're as flat chested as the rest of us. I will be sleeping alone! With your friendly attitude, I'm sure you're used to that by now. Herman, do not take notes from Mr. Greaseman. His "way" is unimpressive and boring. That's right, showing an interest in a woman's boring little hobbies isn't the way to go. Next time, I'll just comment on her body. Women like that. Well, the ones that aren't uptight do.

Dragonator Posted May 17, 2009 Strangely, the elusive Elizabeth Thornton is listed as a passenger, but is not among the wayward guests... But where could she be? I want to know if she likes my hunky d20! jIyajbe. She invites us here, but then doesn't come meet us? Either something strange is afoot, or we've been set-up. I get that a lot for some reason.

This is a job for an adult! put that dice away for later, what we need to do is form a posse witch hunt all band together and have a look through the train.

WhiteFang Posted May 17, 2009 Hi I'm Austin Parker Jr, who the heck are you? Howdy, Austin. I am the Emerald Express's Brakesman, Grant Buell. You can call me Brakes for short. I am the one taking care of the train brakes. Where are you from? Are you from Texas? Just wash your hands first. And maybe shave. And get a haircut. You look a little disreputable, don't get any of your engine filth on my lovely French table linens, Christofle cutlery and Baccarat crystal candlesticks. I will wash my hand later. I am feeling lazy. Don't ask me to get a haircut or a shave. You can't expect a brakesman to look neat and tidy like a businessman. How can I work when I look so clean, working under the trains. Imagine all the grease and oil, on my overall. Grab me some of the waffles of your specality, and I will be eating along with Steve hiding in the engines. By the way, Captain Maxwell, do you need any assistance. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dragonator Posted May 17, 2009 By the way, Captain Maxwell, do you need any assistance. Are you sure you don't mean Captain Kirk? Ahahaha! That was funny, right? So, what do we do now? Eat? Play cards? Or perhaps D&D? Miss Thornton isn't here, so we may as well have some leisure time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Batbrick Posted May 17, 2009 Howdy, Austin. I am the Emerald Express's Brakesman, Grant Buell. You can call me Brakes for short. I am the one taking care of the train brakes. Where are you from? Are you from Texas? Good to meet you sir Brakes! I like it...Brakes. Has a ring to it! I am from Texas good man, my father Austin Parker Sr made a fortune as an oil tycoon, and I recieved from him the annoying tendency to hang around large groups of people and drink, haha! Oh, and Eleanor, don't be bothered by Mister Greaseman, anyone with a name like that is worth a suspicious look! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WhiteFang Posted May 17, 2009 Are you sure you don't mean Captain Kirk? Ahahaha! That was funny, right? I am a little too old for jokes, but I get the meaning. So, what do we do now? Eat? Play cards? Or perhaps D&D? Miss Thornton isn't here, so we may as well have some leisure time. Can we eat and play cards at the same time? D & D? I don't remember playing those, perhaps I can get my son's Magic The Gathering desk and burn you guys with lighting bolt. That's what my nerdy son used to said when he was still in high school.

Svelte Posted May 17, 2009 Grab me some of the waffles of your specality, and I will be eating along with Steve hiding in the engines. Waffles, waffles, all anybody wants is waffles I should have skipped my intensive years of culinary training in Paris and just moved to Omaha and opened a waffle house. Here, take a waffle. Waffles for everybody! Let's just hope I packed enough dry ingredients to last the journey, or things could get nasty. Murderously nasty, even. *starts munching defiantly on an eel* Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You sounds awesome fun to hang out with. If you don't mind, we could grab a drink at the counter where I can get the steward to serve us some best drinks. By the way, don't tell my management about that. I couldn't afford a pay dock. Here, take a waffle. Waffles for everybody! YummY!! Thanks chef. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Captain Zuloo Posted May 17, 2009 By the way, Captain Maxwell, do you need any assistance. If you know the where abouts of Mrs. Thornton... :hmpf-bad: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Svelte Posted May 17, 2009 If you know the where abouts of Mrs. Thornton... Zis indeed smells like a mystery from one of those murder books I am always reading! I particularly like the works of Agatha Christie. Did you know, Hercule Poirot is the most famous Belgian of all time? It makes my half-Belgian heart swell with pride to know that our most famous countryman is so beloved around the world! Even if he isn't actually real. Pah! Keep your ninety-six sided die, Klangon slang and sinful thoughts about boulders to yourselves. An intellectually-stimulating book club is the way to keep yourself entertained on the long, gaslit nights aboard the Emerald Express! I would participate too, if I wasn't so busy... cooking waffles.

By the way, don't tell my management about that. I couldn't afford a pay dock. Certainly chum! I'd love to grab a drink! And don't worry, part of the reason I came here to this train is because I couldn't work under dear papa's more proper planning, bless 'Im! So tell us more about yerself, why'd you come to the Emerald Express, apart from coming to the aid of the currently absent Miss Elizabeth? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hinckley Posted May 17, 2009 Certainly chum! I'd love to grab a drink! I'll join you guys if you don't mind. Mark and Bulldog, you guys too. Let's all drink to new friends. I try not to have more than one though. I'm a mean drunk. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Shadows Posted May 17, 2009 I'd love to grab a drink! Drinks? Did I hear someone say drinks? Well, I suppose something on the rocks might distract me from ... you know. *slips a whoopee cushion under Herman's seat* Join me for a drink, Ms. Shafer? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Svelte Posted May 17, 2009 So, Chef, how long until dinner? There doesn't seem to be much else to do at the moment. I thought it would be rude to serve dinner before your host arrived... but that rabbit won't stay juicy forever. And from the way those guys are knocking back the booze, it may be best to line their stomachs. So anyone that wants dinner may have it - if you haven't filled up on waffles already.
