[ Arche is in the kitchen.

She's trying to cook.

... trying. And failing. As usual.

Someone, please stop her before she either [A] kills someone with her monstrosity, or [B] blows up the kitchen? ]

[ Zashi hadn't been doing well lately. No, she'd actually been doing very, very badly. She hasn't spoken, and she didn't want to be touched at all.

Miku was worried. She didn't like seeing her girlfriend in that sort of condition, but while something was obviously wrong, Zashi wasn't telling her anything. And she couldn't help if she didn't know what was going on.

So, she went searching. Every time she ran into someone, she asked if they knew what was going on with Zashi. Even if they asked who she was, she'd describe her and see if they recognized her from that.

She had to find out what was going on.

She didn't want to see someone she loved suffer so much. ]

[Something is wrong on the train.

Rakka knows it, but she can't put a finger on it. It's just been too quiet, too still, like everyone that's left might be hiding themselves away.

But she doesn't know why, or what's going on, just that something is wrong, and it's making the odd little girl nervous.

She can be found in one of the aquarium cars, lying on her back and staring at the fish going overhead behind the glass.]

[Pride wasn't that happy. Not really. He'd been on his way north, and now he was here.

In a stupidly hightech train that he couldn't get out of. Selim was held in his arms, the bunny shivering a little, betraying Pride's own fear. The human-turned-monster looked down at his soul, and whimpered softly.

] I'll find someone.

And find out what's going on?

Yea. With force if needed.

Pride... [Selim's ears drooped as the pair continued down through the train. She didn't like the sound of that and hoped he didn't do anything to get them kicked off.]

[Zashi knew something was wrong. It didn't take very long to figure that out, really, because none of it made any sense.

Only she, Zuko and Estelle seemed to be running in to the constant stream of bad lack and unfortunate happenings. All the remaining passengers (few though they were) were doing just fine. No one had fallen in to the pool, gotten stuck in freak snowstorms in the out door cars, trapped inside their own apartment bathroom for no logical reason, pushed in to thorn bushes, attacked by the AI nurses for absolutely no reason, or chased by, of all things, rabid chihuahuas.

Zashi never did like little yappy dogs...

But all that aside,it was just too convenient, since all of it lined up perfectly with the attack on Estelle from another passenger. She and Zuko had gotten the story about three days after their bad luck had started when they were both nearly trapped in a room that was randomly flooding. It took Zashi another two days from there to work her magic and see that there was, indeed, some kind of curse on the three of them.

Now the problem was breaking the curse. And hope that some how she could still keep this secret from Miku.

The next day, she went searching, alone, which she knew was dumb, but she really didn't need THREE people with bad luck trying to face down the person responsible. The extent of the curse seemed to extend to not being able to find anyone that she wanted to right then, and her search was entirely fruitless.

So the next day she stood front and center of one of the lounge cars, and simply resorted to calling out.]

I know what you did! I know you're on this train somewhere! Stop being a coward!

[was that a nervous gulp from the girl? No, of course not...]

[Chiro was fully rested from his cursing from the day before. He had meditated and it had sped up the recovery process. He now makes his way for the food cart, being somewhat hungry now. He was passing through an empty passenger car at the moment. He has a smile on his face, his plan going perfectly so far. They would figure it out eventually and come to him, just as he planned.]

[Chiro wonders the train, searching for a third victim. He can cast the curse again if he needs to, he isn't that weakened from the first casting. He searches through a large selection of cars, aiming to attack the first weak looking being he sees. He will take whatever object they have upon them. He finds his mark, a girl with pink hair. She doesn't seem to be much of a threat. He walks towards her.]

Hey you! Girl with the pink hair!

[Chiro is not completely thrilled with his items, but he has enough for a test curse. It is time to begin with this plans for this train. This is simply his personal introduction.

The badge he took from Zuko, The broom from the sleeping Witch, and the Journal from Rakka. The journal is set aside, however. She had promised him her loyalty...and her friendship. He would not be the first to betray that. He would leave that inevitability to her.

The badge and the broom sit upon the alter in the front of the Church car, a long knife sitting beside them. He removes his orange gloves and takes the knife. Drawing the blade across his skin, he lets blood spill onto the alter. Placing the knife down, he presses until there is enough blood upon his items.

He places a hand over the wound and it heals quickly, he uses his tongue to remove any access blood from his hand. Placing his hands over the blood he closes his eyes and begins to chant. The blood moves upon it's own accord, drawing an upside down pentagram with symbols appearing outside the circle. The blood glows a bright red, all of the lights and candles in the Church car suddenly extinguished. The red glow of the spell is all the illuminates the room as he curses his two victims. This was the beginning.]

[ There is an Arche.

She is looking all over the train for someone. ]

Riiiina! Sheesh, how hard can it be to find that girl?

[ it would seem she's been looking for a while. ]
