[ If anyone asks later, Jake will tell them things only really got crazy after the second conductor laid their hands on him. Of course, anyone who'd actually been there would know a lie when they heard it.
Jake was already half off the ground before the conductor managed to utter the word gentleman. ]
Eugh... [ He groans, picking himself up from where his face had landed hard in the dirt. He spits a few times, brushing blades of dried grass from his fur -- wait, no, hair, humans called it hair -- as the train's engines roared back to life. ] Ow.
Closest town is twenty miles that way. [ The conductor points out across the field, voice muffled by the bloody handkerchief pressed to his nose. ] Sun goes down in an hour. Good luck.
[ As if to punctuate those dubious well wishes, the second conductor (this one with a black eye) heaves Yujin's luggage out onto the ground, where it promptly pops open like it had been spring loaded. Clothes and papers fluttered around them like confetti. ]
Hey, it's like a real bon voyage party. [ Jake comments idly, watching the door slam shut as the train's engines begin purring back to life. ] Not sure he meant it about the good luck though, eh, Yooj?
[ When there's no response, Jake turns towards reflexively towards the man laying beside him on the ground. ]
