Chit-Chat

August, 1939. With Europe on the brink of war, the luxurious Orient Express departs Paris for Constantinople, plunging a number of luckless individuals into a maelstrom of treachery, romance, and international intrigue. Join us as you attempt to meet your own goals or simply try to survive a storm you have unwittingly been drawn into. A self-driven game where you help mold the challenges, clues and dangers aboard the Orient Express as players take up a number of roles ranging from cultists, family members, tourists, spies, nobility, musicians, artists, rare book dealers, arms dealers to people desperate to get back home before the war begins.

They subtitle English shows in the US? Wow, that's...uhm...quite interesting.

Although they do something similar over here when people are using dialects.

They don't usually do it, but I've seen it a few times. They probably do mainly use it for dialects that might be hard to understand.

Some British accents are impossible to understand even by some of the other Brits, or so I've heard!

I'll be away at conventions October 31-November 3 and November 8-10, so I probably won't be able to post then. I'm not sure if I'll even be able to post between them, as I work during the week and will have little time to catch up, though I am off November 11.

Sorry about the late time jump. I'll have it that it'll only jump to 9:30 on Friday, so only four minutes rather than 15. At this moment it seems suitable, pacing-wise.

Raziel, I have a feeling I might have worked with the man in Dr. Bedal's photograph in real life - what are the chances of that? It's certainly spooking me out each time you post.

Thank you everyone for your patience. It was a slow start but I feel like there's some solid intrigue and mysteries going on at this stage.

Only seven beds left aboard the train! Soon enough the train will be full and I will need to start hurtling folk overboard.

I'm starting to get the impression that Kadael likes Victorian era dresses.

Yes, I do. But there's a better reason than that for this character to be wearing one :P

Also, I am pleased to be joining you all. Excitement and mystery and all that!

Welcome aboard, guy and girl.

Don't eat the salmon, it seems to have high Yellow Sign and lead levels.
