The Mysterious Elf & A Long Ride Ahead (2024-10-18)
Setting & Atmosphere
- The team — Mia, Det, and Siz—remains aboard the continental train, continuing toward Summer Springs, New Texas.
- The landscape outside opens into vast canyons and steppe, with occasional settlements along rivers.
- Over the train's loudspeakers, a voice incorrectly announces that they will reach their destination in 10 minutes, before quickly correcting themselves—it is still 10 hours away.
Main Events
Mia's Suspicious Encounter
- Mia returns to the cabin, slightly unsettled, placing the food and drinks on the table.
- She informs the others about a strange elf in leather, who she previously saw at Den’s Bar.
- He was making finger guns and smug grins—clearly trying to be noticed. - Mia is convinced it is not a coincidence that he is on the same train.
- Siz tries to recall the elf but struggles, realizing that she usually only works in the kitchen, rarely seeing customers.
- She does remember an elf at the bar, but the memory feels oddly blank—as if she should recall more details but cannot.
- Det remembers an elf from Den’s Bar too, recalling that she was once finger-gunned by him.
- However, she considered it odd but not necessarily malicious at the time.
Discussion About the Elf
- Mia places the snacks and drinks in the middle of the table, still appearing wary.
- "It might be nothing, but I’d rather be safe than sorry."
- Siz humorously sums up their concern:
- "So, keep an eye out for kinky, flirty elves. Got it." - She theorizes that the elf might flirt with everyone except non-humanoid species.
- Det wonders if it could simply be a coincidence, pointing out that it is a big city and an even bigger planet.
- She acknowledges that Den knows a lot of unusual people, so the elf might just be another associate.
- Mia remains unconvinced, describing the elf’s presence as giving her "odd and weird vibes," though she cannot put it into words.
A Surprisingly Good Meal
- The food on the train is unexpectedly high quality, much better than standard transport food.
- Siz acknowledges she has had better, but never on a moving vehicle. - Mia and Det enjoy their meals, appreciating the quality compared to past experiences.
- The team continues their journey, finishing their meals while keeping an eye out for any further strange behavior on the train.
Next Steps
- Stay alert for any further signs of the elf’s intentions.
- Monitor the train’s passengers for any unusual movements.
- Prepare for arrival in Summer Springs, ensuring they have their first steps planned.
Current Status & Unresolved Questions
- Who is the elf, and why is he following them?
- Why does Siz struggle to clearly remember him, despite working at the bar?
- Is he connected to Den, or does he have his own agenda?
- Will the rest of the journey remain uneventful, or is something about to happen?
