I'm going to retire to my cabin for a bit to get cleaned up and check on my various belongings, and then I'll come to the dining room for a proper dinner. We haven't really eaten much this past day, and I'm famished!

and then I'll come to the dining room for a proper dinner.

Bring some stuff back and we'll play a game after dinner.

Card games, Eleanor locked up in her cabin... all it needs is Herman's tighty-whities and a 96 sided die and it'll be just like old times

Meanwhile, I better get dinner on. Chicory gratin with a cheesy bechamel sauce and pralines for dessert!

And you know we have well-built homes nearby how, may I ask?

As the rain poors down outside, soaking the clothes of the sad townies with their noses pressed against the dining car windows, the passengers feast on Chicory gratin with cheesy bechamel sauce, and pralines for dessert.

With heads down liked whipped puppy dogs, the townies slush away in the mud back toward Willoughby...

An angry mayor turns back to face the Emerald lifting up his middle finger... "flipping the bird".

Ba$tards!

*Eleanor comes out of her cabin, wearing her dressing gown over her silky pajamas.*

Oh, what a good, relaxing nap! I'll have some of that gratin, thank you very much.

Are the loony townies gone? Good, now we can discuss which of them dunnit!

And if you're going to play some cards, you better deal me some too. I feel lucky tonight!

Are the loony townies gone?

It would seem not, Ms. Schizophrenic.

An angry mayor turns back to face the Emerald lifting up his middle finger... "flipping the bird".

Oh dear, I do hope they understand. It's not like they don't have nice warm homes nearby anyway, I mean, I really don't see why they would want to sleep on the floor of a train when they could return to their own beds for the night...

Ah well, nothing I can do about it, the train company has made their decision. I brought back my cards if anyone is interested in a game.

Oh, this food is delicious!

You managed to survive so far, I'm sure that you would have more sturdy homes than this train.

I'd like to eat. I'm not sure why all the townspeople are so angry. I mean there are only accomodations for the passengers on board as far as I understand so it would be uncomfortable. Max they did agree to stay in the dining car. I guess this is a little concerning as this is where the knives are held. Perhaps we could at least offer them some of Schmelt's food. They haven't eaten in a while either. We shouldn't punish the entire town just because a couple of them are bad seeds.

Also, I really think I should be the one to hold on to the gun being that I am an expert on gun safety. I'm not sure that Greaseman knows anything about guns at all other than how he would look if he were playing with a toy one in a tv series.

I think the staff should have the gun (wait dont we have 2?) or maybe 1 staff has it and 1 passenger. Not that we dont trust you guys but ya know....just incase those townies try and illegally get on the train.

Also I've had experiance with firearms before.

I have my gun with me, and I have very little experience in using it. But I bought it with my own money and I've got a license for it, so you'll have to pry it out of my cold, dead hands if you want to get it. Although, you guys had no trouble getting it twice before, already...

Come on, deal the cards already, Mr. Williams! I'm in it to win it!

Top nosh Schmelt! Shame we didn't have a enough to share around with the lovely/murderous/ secretive locals.

Say Austin, you up for some whiskey? Need a drink by the fireplace to rest and work through what has been happening these last few days.

As the passengers and crew aboard the Emerald Express plan their next action, the townies return to Willoughby where the rain begins to subside.

It's a relaxing afternoon in Willoughby...
