He never liked trains much, no matter how smooth the ride.  It was being stuck in a but metal tube that could crash and kill everyone with no escape.  Even worse this one was a monorail, thus only one single track that the thing was on.  even easier to have such a bad mistake to happen.  And judging by how long they had been on the train, it had been over half the trip, so they would be out in the middle of nowhere, over water.  An accident here would mean no help would come in too long.<br/><br/>All that made it hard for him to sleep, even though he intellectually knew there were plenty of safety measures to keep all that from happening.  He knew they were safe, but it didn’t stop him from being unable to sleep.  And it sucked as he leaned there against the back of the bench, and the side of the train.  Trying to sleep.<br/><br/>Of course his mother’s, and how his, Vulpix in his duffel bag on the seat to his left didn’t seem to have that problem.  She had fallen asleep almost instantly as the train started moving.  He had been able to tell with his hand he kept on the bag.  She barely moved, and had very slow steady breathing.  Lucky pokemon.  But that is why he had stayed in this car instead of going off to the beds like everyone else.  He didn’t want to wake her up.<br/><br/>Jason, after the first 15 minutes in the car, and it had been vacated by all but a few of the passengers, he had kept himself entertained by watching the people as they left.  His favorite two had been the woman dressed in yellpw, and looking quite short, that had been sitting beside him.  She looked younger than him honestly, but he was sure that was only looks as some of her ‘assets’ looked quite developed.  Thus why she was his favorite person to watch.  At least that was until she curled up to get some sleep.<br/><br/>The second favorite was the woman dressed in all black and pink.  Ok, so sue him she was another woman and had some blonde hair that looked amazing against her cloths.  Of course he also watched the others.  The guys with blue hair he thought were a bit weird.  Why dye your hair such a color.  Not comfortable with your natural hair color?  Of course he kept all his looking as inconspicuous as possible.<br/><br/>It was while he was watching some of them that one of the conductors came in, announcing another inspection.  Jason couldn’t help but swallow hard to hide his nerves at them possibly finding the pokemon he had snuck on the train.  But he stood up anyway, only leaving the duffel bag on the seat to let Vulpix sleep.  Thankfully the conductor just looked around and then left.<br/><br/>Sighing in relief, Jason sat back down with his hands on the seat.  At least that was until he felt someone else sit down right on his hand.  He looked over to notice who it was, and counted himself lucky.  Of course she didn’t say anything for some reason, no apology or anything.  So he spoke up.<b>“Sorry.  Didn’t mean to have my hand so far over.”</b>All true, of course she just hadn’t been looking where she sat, and he didn’t know why she had tried sitting down so close.<br/><br/>After a moment though he looked back over at her, and beyond being as tired as he was, she also looked as apprehensive.<b>“So… are you avoiding the packed rear cars of this train as well?  You came back after a really short time.”</b>Well, he could fail at starting conversations.<div class="messageTextEndMarker"> </div>
