"Nothing but the best!" Taur said cheerily. She started setting up the pool balls in the rack. "Oh dear," she said as she took the rack away. The balls were losing their position with the gentle rocking of the train. "Hm, well that should keep things interesting," said Taur, picking up a cue nonetheless.

Crystal watched the pool balls with amusement. "Oh this should be good. At least with air hockey the puck is suppose to move. I'm sure you two are masters at that game though."

She watched the HH and Taur get ready for a little bit more then moved to turn on the air hockey table. "Oh, Taur," she called acorss the room, "I noticed in the disco car there was a dance floor. Are there any plans to hold some sort of dance? I'm sure we could all at least do the chicken dance."

Clarissa smiled, the wheels in her brain turning furiously as she tried to process everything that had just been said. Obviously, some...incidents...had happened at these events in the past. She seemed to have stumbled into an authentic Agatha Christie mystery! Of course, it's probably just superstition...but if it's not, what role would I assume once the mayhem started? Probably not the sleuth, that's too obvious--type-casting never works, does it? Maybe I'd be the one that's reluctant to admit any problem is going on at all. Oh, yes, perfect! They're usually the stuffy, stuck-up aristocratic types--it would be the perfect acting exercise!

Of course, she was letting her imagination run away with her again, but it wouldn't hurt to be prepared.

She smiled and joined the others in the Game Room. "I'm awful at these sorts of things, but I would love to watch!"

Eyes glued to the hockey pucks she was juggling, Taunaki stepped cautiously into the entertainment room, "Good morning everybody! Had a good sleep?"

Turning to Clarissa and those she shared chocolate with the other night, "Did you enjoy the chocolate? Because I sure did!"

Liesl picked up a puck and joined Crystal at the air hockey table. Perking up at the sign of a dance, she commented, "And I could play guitar, if that would help. If we need any extra music." she smiled.

Sparkle had left the Lounge and followed the other guest to the Entertainment Room. Sparkle was not a competitive person when it came down to games, she much rather liked being sparkly. Silently she stood nearby the pool table and observed the game between the two hosts. Whenever it was the Horseman's turn, she clapped her hands and cheered whenever he struck any of the balls.
Upon hearing Crystal's remark about a dance, she turned and said with a giggle: "Yes! We should have a dance! I absolutely love to dance! I don't know the chicken dance though.."

Nurr, teacup in hand, gave a barely audible sigh and moved toward the end of the entertainment car. She had followed the others in, but when talk turned to dancing...well, she was not often the one to be out in the middle of the floor.

Stepping carefully across cars, Nurrantiel made her way back through the pampering lounge with a brief appreciative glance at the jacuzzi. She would certainly enjoy taking part in that at some point. And now!

The chocolate bar was beautifully laid out. Heaps of strawberries, bananas, and sweet bread were stacked next two one of the chocolate fountains. Tucking her cup into the crook of her arm, Nurr loaded up a plate of goodness-covered fruit, paused, and added a delicious looking brownie for good measure. Then, with a practiced balance, she smoothly made her way back to her berth. She settled comfortably with The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes in one hand and the chocolate within reach. One of her shoes kept the door propped open - after all, she could still be friendly.

Taunaki's smile faltered, "Dancing's fun...but you guys go ahead! I think I'm gonna go get some chocolate!"

Putting the pucks she juggled into her pocket, she made her way to the Chocolate Bar.

Carefully pushing the door open, she cringed as it gave a little creak.

Noticing Nurr, she managed a nervous smile, "I'm not disturbing you am I?"

"Not at all," Nurr smiled back. "Taunaki, right? What brings you out here on the Express?"

"Oh yes! It's on the schedule in fac--" Taur suddenly turned pale. "I forgot the schedule!!" she cried. "I left it in the car! Oh, stupid, stupid, stupid!!" she continued, slapping herself in on the forehead.

"Pardon me, Madame..." the head steward interrupted.

"What is it, Prokopy?! Can't you see I'm busy hating myself! I'm such a--"

"Alonzo saw that you'd left it, and gave it to me to give you." He pulled out a sheet of paper.

Taur grabbed it. "This is it!!! Thank the heavens for Alonzo! I love that man!!" Taur hugged the paper as if it were Alonzo himself. "Right," Taur said, after she had calmed down a bit. "Um, Prokopy-- post this wherever people will see it, like the Dining Car or something," she said, smoothing the paper, which had gotten rather crinkled by her enthusiasm, and handing it to Prokopy.

(The schedule will seriously be posted on the first page. )

Crystal wandered over to look over the schedule in Taur's hand. "Oo, that looks like a good schedule. I love the idea of a message. I could use a good one."

Taunaki beamed, "I needed a break that's all. I'm a blogger for a professional hockey team and let me tell you! It's a lot of work!"

She made her way to the chocolate fountain and dipped a strawberry in before taking a bite, "MM! These strawberries are delicious! How about you? What brings you here?"

Moririellë made her way through car to car, watching the guests at their various activities. She walked into the Entertainment Room where several guests were playing at the gaming tables. She chuckled at some attempting to play a game of pool despite to the balls rolling about due to the train. Perhaps a pool table was not the greatest idea. She then moved towards the air hockey table, where a game was already in progress.

She had overheard her hostess speak of the schedule. Moririellë peaked over the at list. "A good schedule," she said. "Lots of exciting events."

Sparkle nodded in agreement with Moririellë. The schedule certainly looked entertaining: they would spend a day in both of her favourite carriages, the Chocolate bar and the Pampering lounge. And there seemed plenty of moments and parties for her to be sparkly. The trip promised to be very amusing if only they were not haunted by the curse which rested on Kit's Hallows Event. For a moment Sparkle's face clouded, fearing that death and murders would again ruin her sparkly moments, but then she looked across the room at the Horseman in adoration and was reassured. He was the host now and in his brave and eh..headless presence they all would be safe..
