The Midnight Express
The Midnight Express - a ski lodge.
You wake up to the sound of a train whistle. It pierces through the foggy dream you’d been having, bringing you back to reality. The morning sun streams through your bedroom window. You glance around, puzzled about where the noise came from. When you’re unable to find an answer, you shrug and get ready for the day. A purple butterfly perches on your windowsill. It watches you.
Continuing on with your morning routine, you make a quick breakfast and head out the door. A warm breeze ruffles your hair, hitting you with the unexpected aroma of rose and sage. And there it is again - that high, musical train whistle in the distance. The violet-winged butterfly has followed you. Now it flutters through the air and lands on the front steps of your house. Your eyes are drawn to it, and you notice that next to it is an envelope. The folded paper parcel is a rich, deep indigo color sprinkled with gold and sealed with silver wax. Curious, you pick it up and open it. When the paper is torn, a puff of glitter is released and a crisp folded letter slides out. The letter is blank, but a voice begins to speak -
Greetings esteemed friend!
I hope I have not interrupted you, however this is the easiest way to contact you. You’re probably wondering what is going on - in which case, have no fear. The Midnight Express is currently passing through, and we would love to invite a few lucky souls to join us on a weeklong trip through the realms. The Express is no ordinary train (as you have probably gathered already). It has numerous luxurious amenities, from a state-of-the-art ballroom and dining car to a greenhouse and astral observatory. Of course, almost all of these will be available to you as a passenger on the Express, as well as all the sights and activities a tour through the realms could offer.

Black and white moth wings and moth antennae, if thats alright.
Personality in exactly seven words: Likely to punch anyone who disagrees with me. (oh wait, that's 8 words. Whatever. I do not care. I shall do whatever I like, and like I said, should you disagree with me you could quite possibly end up with a bloody nose.)

@Reuby, your wolf's name is Wiccan if we're not mistaken?
@Scuttles, how would you like your pronouns to be used on a part-by-part basis?
(March 15, 2023 - 6:28 pm)
Yep! Such a good boy!!
(March 15, 2023 - 7:23 pm)
Just use a different one for each 'day.' If two parts take place on the same day, use the same pronouns during them. If one part covers an entire day, use different pronouns for it than you did the last one. Just do your best and I won't care if you're wrong sometimes. :D
