Samantha the Sweep

Hey there! Name's Samantha, nice to meet you! RP blog for Samantha, a formerly CN diesel living on the Isle of Sodor. Mun: @esquimaltnanaimo.

-- Just a dream --

Samantha woke up shortly after Mavis left the shed, when Ffarquhar Quarry Co.’s whistle sounded. After seeing that her friend was gone, she started her big V12 engine and snuggled down to the rails, letting herself warm up. There was a big order of stone scheduled to go out today, and she needed to be in top form for that. A big pull - just what she liked first thing in the morning!

As her engine pleasantly warmed up, she remembered that she’d had the most wonderful dream last night. A dream about the very engine she shared a shed with.

She did have quite a strong crush on Mavis, but she hadn’t dared act on it. The little black shunter wasn’t even into her, after all, and she didn’t want to make her friendship awkward. Plus, they had only known each other for a few weeks!

But that didn’t stop her from having dreams. She laughed at herself as she recalled - after all, Mavis already had Den, and they were happy. And Sam had some hard work to do, and that made her happy.

Everybody was happy, and that’s what mattered. She released her brakes and headed into the sunny morning, eager to shove those flippant little trucks around.

@den-royce I’m sorry for... like, everything. I don’t even really know you, but people are coming after you trying to get your mun to off herself over something you had literally nothing to do with.

Just don’t let your mun hurt herself, okay? People are bloody stupid. It’s not her fault for all this scrap that happened after I showed up. Not yours either, for that matter.

I seriously can’t believe people are trying to bait suicide over our blogs.

[sudrian-sweep]

Saying it again, in case it wasn’t clear:

IT IS NOT OKAY TO TRY TO MAKE SOMEONE COMMIT SUICIDE.

THIS IS A FUCKING ROLEPLAY ON THE INTERNET.

[sudrian-sweep]

We want Dens mun to either kill herself or gtfo this page so you can come back ! Sam is the best !

Please tell me you’re not serious. Are you serious?

Everyone, is this anon serious??

--

//OK. Real talk: this is NOT OKAY. Even if you’re joking, THIS IS NOT OKAY. You do NOT try to bait others to suicide. Do you really want to be accountable for someone’s death?

This is a fucking roleplay on the Internet. Get a fucking life.

[sudrian-sweep]

For Pointe St. Charles’ sake. I go off the radar for a few months while looking for those darn magic buffers, and this is what I come back to? People are still up in arms about me and @ffarquhar-princess Mavis?! I can’t believe this!!

Let me spell it out to you all: She never ditched me, and she never meant to hurt anybody. We’re trying to leave this stupid island so the original Mavis can take her place, and so we can get away from all this stupid drama.

So if you’ve still got beef about me being with Mavis, why don’t you come to me about it? I’ve been left right out of all of this! My blog’s right here. I mean, I’m the one who “stole her from Den” as you all say.

Seriously, you rent-a-wrecks, how about you all leave my girlfriend alone? Either that or you’ve got 1300 horsepower coming your way. And I don’t make empty threats!

- Notice -

As of now, this blog is on a mostly permanent hiatus. I’ve lost interest in role-playing in this format, pretty much entirely. I apologize to those awaiting answers to asks, or hoping to see more story posts.

You can still find me and my art on dA @ http://esquimaltnanaimo.deviantart.com

Ask box open!

Hey, everybody! Sorry I’ve been gone for so long, I’ve been so busy helping out around here! I got so bogged down with it all, I ended up cracking one of my cylinders!

That’s why I’m in for maintenace right now. Apparently, it’s gonna take at least a month to get a new cylinder set that fits my engine, since it has to be shipped over from Canada. Ugh.

So anyway... feel free to send me some messages! I could use something to do while I’m down for repair.

(I’m sorry, again, for the delay in content. I’ve been really out of it lately.)

So James, I know you hate pulling freight trains, and you love pulling passenger trains... but what about mixed trains? Like what they used to do in America on branch lines.

“American branchlines? American branchlines? They can’t even decide what kind of train those engines should pull! So they mix them all up. Obviously, those Americans need to rethink their railways.”

<i><b>SAMANTHA:</b></i> Careful how loud you say that! Some engines out there put a lot of stock in that story. And, silly or not, you gotta agree that Tillie’s relentless determination is pretty inspiring!

“I can appreciate little engines who know they can do a lot more, but not every engine can do everything. And I know I couldn’t pull great long trains of coal and iron, even if I really, really wanted to.”

[sudrian-sweep]

SAMANTHA: No offense, guy, but I think you're missing the point of the story. Haha.

[alwaysuseful-blog1]

“If any of you have read The Little Engine That Could, I hope you know that it’s just silly. Not every engine can do everything. Some of us don’t have enough traction to make it up such a big hill.”

“And it’s not for lack of trying! We’re not all built the same. I couldn’t fly like a whirlybird if I tried, and I bet Harold couldn’t pull the mail train. So saying that if an engine can just because they really, really want to – that’s silly.”

“Thank goodness… I really hope that the little while ends soon so you can come back to the quarry.” Mavis replied, she was sad for when Samantha would be back at the docks, she didn’t want to leave Samantha there, and every mile they drew nearer to the Smelters yard, Mavis felt more and more sad, tearing up a little, but trying not to be heard by Samantha

“Gosh, I agree. I want to do what I was bought for!”

From the quiet afterwards as the two diesels rolled along, Sam could tell something was up.

“You OK up there, Mavis?” she asked, concern in her voice.

Many other engines blew their whistles and horns. Some of the faster engines streamed by in the blink of an eye. Neon tried to whistle at some of them, trying to say hello. They usually went too fast for a whistle to be heard, but they were courteous to blow their whistles/horns back.

Neon puffed her way down a bridge structure to the lower half of the station, which was the way to the Gasworks. And the way back around the island from the Gasworks once turned around.

Sam didn’t know which way to look as her and Neon’s trains exited the busy junction. “Jeez,” she said, slowing down a bit.

“I don’t think I’ll ever get the hang of the pace of railroading on this island. It’s so fast! Like, what’s all the rush for?” she asked, giving a short laugh and catching back up to the little tank engine.
