“I think everyone is.” He put his hands on his hips. “You sure you’re okay?”

[bitch-pain]

She nodded again, “Yeah..” she sighed, “Never better.”

“I am sorry to rip you from your thoughts” Dormouse said regretfully. She knew how much she hated being yanked out of thinking and felt bad for doing it to Pain, even if she did say it was good.  “Oh lovely! I didn’t know if you would say yes or not!” 

[bitch-pain]

“Its cool, Mousey. Really. If I think too hard, then smoke starts coming out of my ears from my brain over heating.” she chuckled softly, getting up to follow the girl, “Lead the way, girly!”

[dontracearabbitmate-archive]

He pulled his hand up from the light touch on her shoulder, hands in a surrendering gesture. “Woah, sorry. Didn’t mean to bother you— you just looked a little bugged out. Didn’t answer me right away. Wanted to make sure you were okay, you know?” He’d asked her once already, but the other had been deep in thought and hadn’t heard him— he hadn’t intended to upset her further.

[bitch-pain]

Pain’s tense shoulders relaxed a little before she exhaled a deep breath she hadn’t realized she’d been holding in, “Yeah...” she replied softly, “Yeah, sorry. I’m fine. Just tired.” she explained in a soft voice before looking way again.

Dormouse smiled and looked down at her feet. “I don’t usually scare people” She giggled and then looked back up at Pain. “Where you in deep thought? I only meant to ask if you wanted to explore with me” 

[bitch-pain]

Pain nodded gently, “Yeah....I was. But its probably good I don’t think about it.” she said thoughtfully before shrugging and getting to her feet, “Exploring sounds fun.”

[insideateapot-blog]

Dormouse squealed and took a step away from Pain. “i’m sorry I won’t do it again” She looked down, a little confused at Pain’s reaction but understanding it probably wasn’t completely her fault.  

[bitch-pain]

Pain relaxed when she realized it was only Dormouse, “You scared the shit outta me, Mousey.” she forced a small chuckle, trying to reassure her friend that she wasn’t upset at her or anything.

“Woah there, chomper,” Charlie laughed, pulling himself back. He flicked his eyebrows up. Get a load of this one. “Sorry girly, do you mind, you’re just right in front of that thing I need.”

[bitch-pain]

Pain studied him for a moment, staying quiet while she tried to decide if she was going to move before she scooted over enough so he could retrieve what he needed. Nervous eyes followed his movements as strands of bright pink hair fell in her face.

[bitch-pain]

Pain flinched when she felt a hand on her shoulder, a little edgy after having a nightmare the night before, “Dont touch me.” she warned, looking almost feral as her eyes flicked up to see who had pulled her from her thoughts.

[sugarscreams]

Oh now, that’s a lil’ fuckin’ forward.

Why would I go and tell you my secrets? Maybe I’m just here because I like freakshows.

[bitch-pain]

Not like I have a reason to hide anything.

What’s the point of secrets if you keep them to yourself? Either way, I doubt you’re only here for the freaks.

Sticks and Stones lOpenl

As soon as March entered the dining car he immediately began trying to find a way to access the freezer for ice. Zira and Leroy had really given him a good beating, or at least Zira did with her kick to the side of his head. March had been in plenty of fights from childhood on and had his bell rung a fair amount of times but never had his body hurt like it had now. His nose was still bleeding from the punch Leroy had delivered, his lip throbbed and his rip cage gave a sharp pain with each breath he took. But all of that would heal with time, as would his head, which one could argue was already a lost cause.

March jiggled the handle to the industrial freezer but it wouldn’t budge, evidently Scar had made sure that any access to food was restricted to the meals that they were given. "Fuck" He thought to himself before hitting the freezer. 

 Where in Gods green earth did Zira get off thinking that March had been the one to steal Scar’s money? He wasn’t some low life scum bag searching for a fix or trying to pay off a debt. He had better things to do with his time. Getting a fix for the sure thrill of it was behind him, or at least for now it was. Leaning against the cool steel door he slumped to the ground coughing heavily uncaring about whether or not he awoke his fellow colleagues. Closing his eyes he tried to calm himself down long enough to catch his breath for a minute or two but instead threw an elbow at the freezer once more wishing it was Leroy’s stupid brown nosing face. 

[bitch-pain]

Pain was asleep when she heard someone walk in, but ignored it, hiding her face further in the crook of her arm to try to get back to sleep. Though when she heard the loud cursing, she recognized the voice right away and looked up, noting March's outline in the dim light.

Sighing sleepily, she got up and manged her away over, "The hell's you're deal, man?" she muttered with a yawn until her bright blue eyes fell on his beat up face. Then her own feature's when cold, hard serious, "What the fuck happened?" she demanded to know, trying to keep her voice from waking anyone, but she was clearly pissed from her tone.

[stealingeveryonesleftshoe]

Whoever’s spreading their germs, no one asked you to share.

[bitch-pain]

"Its not like I actively tried." Pain whined.

[arewegoodguys]

John brushed a hand through his hair, sighing heavily as he looked around the room. It had been cramped to begin with but now he was starting to feel like those watermelons they grew in boxes. He sighed, making his way over to the host counter where remnants from the lunch they’d been served sat....

[bitch-pain]

Pain looked up from her thoughts when she saw John offering up the roll to her. She shook her head, Podunk hair falling in her face, "Nah, man. You can have it." She assured, offering a smile, "I'm not super hungry anyway." Bright blue eyes flicked around the room for a moment before looking back at him, "So, what's up ?"

[sugarscreams]

I more specifically meant here, on the train. I mean would we all be here on mobile freakshow if we were capable or blending in or adhering to typical societal rules?

So which is it? You got a record or are you the innocent of innocents?

[bitch-pain]

Very good point.

{ Pain chuckled } Baby, I havn't been innocent since I was five years old and I've had a record since I was seven. What 'bout you?

[sugarscreams]

Well well

Anyone else gonna’ call out the elephant in the room? We’ve all been seen.

Everyone’s been jostled around as much as we sardines fuckin’ can- What the actual fuck’s goin’ on then? Which moron got himself a record?

And better yet, what the hell did they do?

[bitch-pain]

I'm pretty sure 90% of the people in here got a record. Second, the people that don't are either the most innocent of the innocent or their worse then the ones that've been caught. So...

{ Pain shrugged a bit }

As for what they did, I don't have any idea.

[butterinthepocketwatch]

"I’m the King of holes! The holy king! Shovels and mice and dirt as my friends! Plus it wouldn’t be the first time I’ve managed to get out of possible arrest." He said ruffling Pain’s hair.

[bitch-pain]

Pain laughed, not caring if her hair got messed up considering she'd barely even brushed it since she woke up, "Still. I dont got the money to bail you out right now. So try not to get arrested."

[blessedby-puberty]

Hiccup felt a blush creep across his face. He looked up to Pain, and gave her a small attempt at a smile. “Hey Pain.” He mumbled, He still couldn’t shake the feeling that something terrible was going on, and he couldn’t put his finger on it. Having everyone in one area didn’t seem practical, though as he looked around he could see that some people were enjoying it. He, however, was not. 

[bitch-pain]

"You okay?" she asked with a small tilt of her head. It was  a stupid question he knew, but there was no arm in asking. Everyone, wither they showed it or not, had to be stressed out about the situation on some form or another, "Good to be out of those damn cars right?"

[butterinthepocketwatch]

"What the hell are we being investigated for anyway?! Scar knows that most of us have a jail records already! Some of us with multiple arrests but hey I’m not going to name names…."

[bitch-pain]

"March, keep your trap shut before you dig yourself a hole." she teased gently, wrapping her arms loosely around his neck from behind.

[blessedby-puberty]

Hiccup was ushered into the dinning car, his heart beating in his chest. He noticed exactly how many people were in there, and furrowed his brows. It was hot, it was loud, and it was crowded. As soon as he was let go, he quickly forced himself through the crowds, and sat down in an empty booth. “Oh my gods..” He mumbled.

[bitch-pain]

Pain nearly bolted for the dining car when she was finally let go from the smaller car. She never had done well in small spaces. But the moment she entered the dinning car, she wanted to go back again. She shoved her way through the people at first, trying to find her brother, but gave up. Spotting Hiccup, she sat down across from him, pressing herself as close to the wall as she could and hugging her knees to her chest, "Hey, Cyborg." she smiled.
