"WELCOME ABOARD!"
→ It had been raining, it had been raining for a while now. You wondered when it’d let up, but you always liked the smell and the white noise so it wasn’t something to pay too much mind to.
However, you paid attention to it now, especially since the train you were supposed to catch was missed. You really should fix your pocket watch, somehow it was easy to forget it was an hour behind…
It was the late afternoon, the dark clouds in the sky matched your mood as droplets of water drizzled overhead. At least the small wooden station you were under shielded you from getting wet. It didn’t take long for the rain to start to get heavy, it would definitely be a longer walk home now…
Resigning yourself to leaning on one of the pillars of the station, you accepted that you’d have to wait for longer, since there wasn’t an umbrella with you- and you did not wish to soak in the rain on the walk back home. It was a one way ticket to getting sick, and the train ticket that was bought was already expensive enough.
With the dark gray rain clouds overhead, it started to get darker as the sun started to set, the warm colors of the lazy afternoon shifting to a cool night, the air was crisp with the rain as you waited it out. At least you would be able to look at the stars when the clouds depart.
Maybe an hour had passed before a distant horn of an incoming train echoed through the trees, it surprised you, as you initially thought you had missed the train. It did bring a couple of questions, where exactly was this train headed if you missed the first? Or did your train somehow run into a situation and was late? As far as you were aware the only train that came to this station was yours… So maybe that ticket wasn’t a waste after all.
A large locomotive train slowed to a stop in front of you, a dark rich blue with gold accents decorated its exterior, it was rather fancy. This would explain why exactly your ticket was so pricey…
Once it came to a full stop, one of its car doors opened to reveal a rather tall man. You assumed it was the conductor, as his outfit matched the train's colors.
“Hello there! You got your ticket?”
He gave you a friendly smile while you rummaged through your coat pockets to find said ticket. Once you pulled it out you found that it had changed, now matching the train with its blue and gold coloring. However, before you could take a closer look the conductor gently plucked it out of your hand and punched it.
He stepped aside, the warm yellow light inviting you inside the train.
“Maverick Mic at your service! It’s raining, why don't you come inside? I’d hate for you to catch a cold.” He offered you a hand, since the step was a rather tall one. Taking it, you were hoisted up into the train.
The train was indeed warmer than outside, the interior was nicely decorated with a chocolate brown with the same gold accents that adorned the outside of the train. It was rather luxurious, you do remember reading that the trip would be comfortable, but you felt a bit out of place in such an expensive aesthetic . You were now aware of the worn clothes you were wearing, you hoped the conductor didn’t look at you differently.
“Welcome to The REM Express! My, it’s raining isn't it? I hope you weren't waiting for too long, We do like to be punctual for our passengers after all.”
Passengers… There was no one else in the car. Granted, it was a rather large train, you didn’t count how many cars there were so maybe the other passengers were somewhere else. Maverick waited patiently for your response as you lagged to reply.
“Oh, um, It’s fine, my watch is pretty unreliable when it tells time, haha! I thought I arrived late, but now I’m thinking I arrived early instead…”
“I see! Well, in that case, would you like some hot chocolate? Just to help you get settled in. You must have been freezing out there!” Maverick led you to the other side of the car, where a small counter with a bar was set.
You set your luggage down and slid off your coat, it felt nice being able to relax. The train started to pick up again as the horn sounded once more, and the initial movement of it made both you and Maverick sway for a moment.
You quietly observed the conductor as he began preparing the drink for you.
“Not much of a talker, hm?” He poured milk into the cup as he also began to speak, “If you have any questions, I’d be happy to answer.”
You thought for a moment, what exactly could you ask?
“Where are we headed?"
“Well we’re heading to the nearest town over, Bloomsberry I believe! Renowned for their wine, maybe I can sneak some aboard…” This was a surprising comment.
“You’re allowed to do that?”
“Truthfully, no, everything stocked on the train has to be approved by the company, but I'm sure Rainy wouldn’t mind, at least maybe if I give him some he wouldn’t mind…”
You didn’t expect Maverick to be playful, but it was refreshing.
“Who is Rainy?” With the question, Maverick gained a lopsided smile.
“Rainy is our esteemed engineer, the one who drives the train of course! Maybe he’ll come to greet you when we reach a rest stop. Admittedly he doesn’t come out very often, but who knows! I wouldn’t mind sneaking you some wine if you wished it, hehe!”
You couldn’t help but shake your head, you figured Maverick was just being silly.
“I’m good, thanks.” Maverick stirred the chocolate into the milk as he continued.
“Well, anyways, once you’re settled I’ll show you to your room! It is starting to get late, and you look a bit worn, has it been a long day for you?”
He had no idea the packing situation you had before this, and then getting stuck in the rain… and on top of that you were pretty sure you were broke now.
“Something… like that…”
“Then I hope this chocolate will refresh you!”
You were then slid the drink, steam emanating from the surface, well stirred with a slice of strawberry fixed on the edge of the cup. How fancy. Maverick looked proud of himself. You couldn’t help but be amused by his little antics.
“Thank you!”
“Of course!”
He started to clean up the bar, putting everything back where it was. You blew off the steam and took a small sip, the chocolate was indeed rich in taste, no wonder they had everything approved… everything seemed to be of high quality. You were indeed getting your money's worth.
At least you were becoming broke for a good reason.
“Anything else?”
→ Was there anything else?

I was walking around this one town and felt like hanging around the station for a while, and I ended up taking a video of a train while it was leaving so I felt like sharing :D
#my video#warning it gets a bit loud when the train is passing closest to the camera so careful if your volumes up#choo choo!#trains#I now understand train spotting#I was also wearing my 'I <3 septa' shoelaces today so double nice#septa my beloved#theres also ANOTHER line that runs THROUGH the station on the inner tracks#and I saw that train earlier but couldn't film in time because I was just walking near the tracks when it went by

List five things that make you happy, then put this in the ask box of the last ten people who reblogged something from you. Spread the positivity ✨💛🌻
Aw shit, here we go.
PASS THE HAPPY IS BACK - the weeds better brace themselves.
Five things that make me happy
When Darkness Shines Brightest - This collaborative Bagginshield fic between @stardryad-random and myself is one of my FAVORITE projects, and I'm super proud of how it's turning out so far. Just as I am super honored to be working with such a talented artist and great friend! (Check it out if you haven't already!)
I finally get to go back to work on the 14th after having nearly 3 months away after a car drove through my place of employment (aka, no more dealing with unemployment!)
I got to meet @sunnyrosewritesstuff this past week!! Coffee, fic talk, blog babbling, it was a fun time for sure! Not to mention, it was a FANTASTIC time away from the house, I feel like I've been stuck here for years lol
TRSB - I'm super excited for the project I'm working on and the artist I was paired up with (wink wink, it's a secret right?), I've never had a fic idea smack me so hard and so FAST, so I'm eager to see what becomes of it.
I made cupcakes yesterday (I don't bake like...ever) and they don't taste like ass. They ironically are WWDITS colors, green and purple, which was super fitting considering the teaser launched yesterday AND I updated my wwdits inspired bagginshield fic yesterday too! (Check that out as well - Where The Shadows Lie)

simon riley who is the one who rescues you when you're taken hostage by an enemy pmc, fighting through hell just to get you back.
simon riley who doesn't hesitate to take his mask off so as to not frighten you further. it doesn't matter that you've never seen his face, or that he's breaking down his barriers, all that matters is that you don't shake when you look at him.
simon riley who carries you out of there, safe in the warmth of his arms that hold you like he'll let you go again.
simon riley whose heart breaks because he recognises the haunted look in your beautiful eyes, and he knows he'd do anything to see them sparkle like they used to.
simon riley who slowly acclimates you to being touched again (it totally is just for you, he swears). soft brushes of his pinky against yours, a guiding hand on your back, picking a piece of fluff out of your hair.
simon riley who doesn't ask questions when you find comfort cuddling into his broad chest, because he knows mentioning it would only make you feel bad. he doesn't want to lose the way you only find peace cuddled up next to him.
simon riley who kisses your forehead but only when you're asleep, because he still has secrets to keep. he doesn't think you feel the same way, he just thinks you see a protector.
simon riley who cares even if he doesn't have the right words to tell you.
simon riley who loves you, and spends every day thankful he didnt lose you.
