is anyone alive/making robot noises/option C?

['Sup, DR? It's been a while since we've seen someone new, huh? Do we even have a bus anymore? That thing just keeps fixing itself. Somehow]

[Like it will be in 3.8 seconds. A gorgeous white train with splashes of electric blue rolls into the DR. Tracks appear before it, the railway behind it fading away]

[Actually, make that BLASTING into the DR, steam whirling behind it as it heads straight for--!]

[BOOM]

[the bus flips into the air like a Team Rocket character punched into the sky. A Len in a conductor's cap hops out of the front cab. He gingerly stares at the front of the train and adjusts the bass guitar slung on his back]

Ahhhh~ Who put that thing in the way of my train?

[the bus CRASHES to the ground with a squeal of metal. Well, guys? Is anyone gonna make this guy pay for the damages?]

Cheer up, Len. She'll be here eventually. Depends on the this place's will. It takes awhile but sometimes people you want to meet or not will appear.

[he shrugs. he's not holding out for a hero or anything]

It's best if she's free to travel anyway. Not like we'll be sticking around for long, right? [he pats the side of the train]

[absoluteblue]

Now you mentioned it. We should move her. Can the train move off the rail track?

[railwayrhythm]

[that's exactly the topic change he was gunning for!]

Yes, but . . . we'll need a crane. Or at least cables and pulleys. And we'll have to be very careful. Usually a derailed train is a dead train.

I maybe a mechanic for a long time but I don't know where to find those tools.

Should we leave her here while we look around for them?

[railwayrhythm]

[he gives the train a conflicted look for a few long moments. then he turns back to Kaito]

Yeah. Got any hardware stores around here? Or construction sites we can jack?

[absoluteblue]

There's where I find the vehicle.

Also I'm pretty sure there's a lot of hardware stores in the middle of the city.

[Yep, going to escort him now.]
