"No no, not here. Come, we can speak in my room; I'm traveling solo."
Khan heads towards his room, and begins edging Mr Parker with him anxiously.

[DrPeterson]

Wolfgang looks at the unkempt man as he tries to drag Parker from his seat.

"Uhm, excusing me, perhaps ve could be of assistance?"

[Seon]

"And my... Uh... Friend...? He's in your room?" Parker looks genuinely confused, although that may be a side effect of waking up.

[Mr. Handy]

Elena follows Wolfgang. "Yes, are you all right, Mr. Parker?" she says.

[TheVaultTech]

German,Oh by the Nine... some man named Roby suggested I speak with you and I'd rather speak privately with you to keep from embarrassing myself.

Khan sighs despondently

German,...if you don't mind

[Seon]

Jonathan looks at Wolfgang. "Do you know what this man said?" He asks.

[DrPeterson]

Wolfgang nods and calmly explains:

"He say that Roby saying he must talking to you about ambassad..em..." , he seems to struggle to find the correct word for a moment or two. "About embarrass thing. And in private."

[Seon]

Jonathan sighs. "Oh very well," he said. "Where to?"

[Mr. Handy]

"I think he went into the Bar Car earlier," says Elena. "That's where his children are supposed to put on that puppet show."

[TheVaultTech]

German,do any of you have a German-English dictionary? This is going to be hell without one.

[DrPeterson]

Wolfgang smiles charmingly and answers in perfect German.

German,"[color=#BF0000]I can guarantee you, my friend, that trying to make conversation with a dictionary is about as frustrating as doing it without one. However, if you'd be willing, I would offer my services as an interpreter. Nothing like the anonymity of strangers on a train, right?[/color]"

He then turns to Elena and Jonathan and in less than perfect English corrects:

"I don't thinking that is vhat his meaning. He say Roby telling him to see you to talk vith you, yes, not to collecting you to bring to Roby."

He grins sheepishly.

"I have offer to be your interlo..inter p r e t e r, if you vant."

[Mr. Handy]

"That's an excellent idea," says Elena. "I can tell you later what you missed at the puppet show."

[TheVaultTech]

German,Well, I'd prefer to conduct this privately, to save face, but I suppose a translator would be in order. Thank you.

Khan turns to Parker expectantly, waiting for a response

[Seon]

"Can't you speak English? You were speaking fine a moment ago!" Parker asks. "No interpreter will be necessary. King's English will serve fine, I hope. Say, which room are you in, sir? I do not believe we have met."

Lounge Car, Germany, 12:05

Midnight Syndicate

The lounge car is decorated in the Art Nouveau style with many a decorative flourish, particularly on the rich mahogany ceiling panels. Fresh flowers adorn the tables, at the moment blue orchids, with beautiful lamps adorning the window sills. Each table holds two very wide, oh so comfortable, arm chairs made with a blue-grey upholstery. The chairs are so large that they limit the number of people who can fit around the tables and therefore within the Lounge Car itself but on the plus side the chairs are perfectly comfortable and would be perfect for a quick snooze.

Current occupants include Madamoselle Nico Dubois, Mr. Parker, Elena, Lily Gavigan, Crazy Person, and Wolfgang.

[DrPeterson]

Looking up at the newcomer, Wolfgang replies:

German,He is asking why you were speaking English just a minute ago, but now refuse to speak anything but German.

[TheVaultTech]

German,What? I was speaking English? I never thought I'd allow such a barbaric tongue disgrace my lips. Either way, I don't know that I can do it now

OOC:   Terribly sorry, the prior English was a faux pas on my end, not used to being German yet. Sorry again

[Laraqua]

OOC,Let's go with it. There's plenty of reasons why such a slip can work into the multiple parallel realities ... or shared hallucinations driving the ... or quintessentially alien parameters that are currently bending ... oh drat ... such with the spoilers! In short, it works so play the confusion in-game.

[DrPeterson]

Wolfgang raises his shoulders and says: "He is very curtain that he no speaking English. It is okay, I don't mind the translationing. It would be my delighted."

He then takes Elena's hand and squeezes it softly.

Russian,"[color=#8000BF]I will see what the matter is with these two and then I'll join up with you.[/color]" He smiles briefly. "[color=#8000BF]This is turning into a very interesting train ride.[/color]"
