oh well, let's see here! the obvious interpretation is that i'll get past (by hurting) someone or something to get riches. maybe it means i will become wealthy, but in a way that will hurt others along the way/by stealing? idk, interpretations aren't my thing.

A young woman, you say? Hmm...

It's really hard to draw any sort of conclusion, but my first thought was (yes, it's dumb, i know) "gosh, i hope we don't get married." That'd be bad for a variety of reasons. 

My second thought was "where, when, and how will i meet her?" Does "future" here mean a couple days or multiple decades? I guess I feel nervous and a little excited... I'm sure I'll meet many young women over the course of my life, but which one is the holepunch girl? Will *she* know that she's the holepunch girl? Will I be able to tell immediately if she's the holepunch girl?

That got kind of cerebral kind of fast. Hope you got the answer you wanted, SSW, or at least one that doesn't get thrown off the train.

I glance at my ticket. 

Huh, a suit of armor? It feels a little obvious, but I smile regardless. This picture of a suit of armor on my ticket makes me feel..... brave. And curious. It makes me feel like something good will happen, and I will become someone better and stronger for it. Who knows, but the Silent Shadow Walker.

Good, good. These were all excellent answers. Now I have a bit of a surprise for you. Over the course of a week I would like you to become Silent Shadow Walker.

~THE RULES~

1. Do not kill anyone. You'll see why after.

2. Put "Silent Shadow Walker" in your name box and your actual CB name in location.

3. If one Silent Shadow Walker has already posted, be sure to let the Admins post that publicly before you take the name and post something yourself.

4. When the week is over and I take back my name, you will know it is me because I will have "I'm back" in my location box. Imposters will not be appreciated.

5. Good luck =)

Let's get right to business, then.

Seeing as we are on a train, some kind of train-related task seems to be in order. Therefore, I would like for each traveler to research some kind of real-world train journey (i.e. not the Dragon Spine Express -- we're too fabulous for real life) that you would like to take. Post the name of the journey or the train here and give me... three reasons why you'd like to take that journey.

Go.

I choose the Venice Simplon Orient Express.

1. The book by Agatha Christie is very good and even though it is about murder I would like to go on the train even though it is not the same train but it is close enough.

2. The Orient Express passes through Paris, London, and Venice which are all places I would love to visit.

3.  I like the vibe that it gives off.

The train for research- The Presidental (in Portugal 

Why?:

-Because it would give me a reason to visit Portugal

-I would love to see a train that honors history like The Presidental. It is still either running or in a museum (the website didn't quite back that clear - I think it is running though), but is like a time capsule preserving the ways Portugese rulers traveled in historic times. 

-You would get to walk the path of royals! Taking The Presidental would let you walk the path of Queen Elizabeth II!

How interesting. As we pull out of the train an audible clang vibrates through the passenger cars. Someone's late, but here. The ticket is holepunched - a water lily.

Welcome, Feline. How do you do?
