What social tier was Simone originally born into? (Obviously, you don't need to answer if anything is spoilers or you just feel like keeping it secret)
not a spoiler! she’s always been a low-tier and wouldn’t have it any other way. She hates Officers, and if she suddenly had an opportunity to make them all drop dead she’d take it without hesitation
For 'Our Bloody Pearl'
Chauncey: "Simone, Simone"
Simone: "Yes Chauncey"
Chauncey: "Have siren?"
Simone: "No Chauncey"
Chauncey: "Telling lies?"
Simone: "No Chauncey"
Chauncey: "Open your truck"
Simone: "Haha ha ha"
Having the favour of both the King and Queen meant that she had the favour of most of the court. Every woman wanted to dress as elegantly as the Queen, and every man figured that if she was good enough for the King, she was good enough for them too. But there were customers that she’d known since she was a little girl, sewing next to her maman, and she would always find a way to make time for them still. Even if that meant she was still in the city even after the sun fell. Having delivered the last parcel of clothes, she took a more circuitous route so she wouldn’t be cutting through the Court of Miracles. Not out of fear of the people that lived there, but fear of who would see her. She didn’t want to be arrested again.
However, a shout had her freezing in place. She looked around, torn when she heard another shout, the sounds of an argument echoing across the cobblestones.
Marie didn’t want trouble, she’d been avoiding anything even remotely connected to trouble for the past month, but there was a distinctively female voice caught amongst the others, and she remembered the night where she’d been the sole woman standing against men who had wanted to hurt her. Even as capable as she was, she’d lost.
She followed the sound, drawing out her dagger from her pocket, and called out when she saw the shadowy figures. “Is there a problem here?”

If Lola, Kane, or any other non-Officer character had been born into the Officer class, what kind of Officer would they have become?
THIS IS A REALLY INTERESTING QUESTION and I’m gonna ramble sorry :P
Lola - she’d actually be a horrible Officer and she’s admitted it herself in canon narration. Vicious, taking revenge on anyone who dares cross her or disrespect her authority. Ironically, that means she’d be really good at it...
Kane - would choose a non-combative Officer class to block out all the corruption and abuse of power that goes on with the low-tiers (that’s what the pacifist Officers do, and then conveniently forget about the existence of anyone else 99% of the time). He’d mostly be anxious about living up to expectations as an Officer.
Nero - definitely the ‘law and order’ type. you respect the rules or you die, and it’s all your fault because you knew the consequences and chose to break the laws anyway.
Simone - honestly, in any scenario she’d be a happy, bubbly justice warrior blowing up Officer buildings. She’d become a city Officer to protect people and the second she found out they were doing the opposite, she’d turn Subversive and start a revolution.
So yeah! Everyone*’s An Officer AU
Please tell me there's at least one character in Escape Train who uses train puns all the time. Cautioning someone "Now, don't go leaping off the tracks here." Commenting that they've "lost their train of thought all of a sudden." Lamenting about how they've "run out of steam" (I know it's not a steam train but STILL). Or if there isn't someone, tell me who's most likely to do this and if the others notice or not.
1000% most likely to do this is Simone de la sequel (:D). and honestly she probably does in the story because surprise, they’re on trains for parts of the sequel too!
most likely to notice: Haler, but he wouldn’t point it out, just do one back to show he knows. most likely completely oblivious: Kane, lol
Heyooooooo I see a new character tag for Escape Train, so if you don't mind me asking, who's Simone? :DDD
ayyyy nice! Simone is from the sequel, fun fact.
she’s a brilliant Subversive who thinks her fellow rebels could get a lot more done if they just got organized – with her as their leader and mastermind, obv
Not for the first time, Marie silently cursed Marian for not coming home. She knew it wasn’t his fault – her brother would never have left if he’d been given a choice – but she had been safe and sound until she decided to track him down. Now, the pirates boarded the ship that had promised her safe passage to where Marian was last seen, Marie had no idea whether she’d live to see her brother again.
Crouched behind a barrel, where the captain had told her to hide, Marie couldn’t see much of what was going on, but it sounded like hell had come to the ship. When the barrel was knocked over, she scrambled back as far as she could, which wasn’t far with her back pressed to the ship’s rail.
A hand reached for her, so Marie did the first thing she could think of. She jabbed the filthy hand with the sewing needle she’d been threading when the chaos had started. It wasn’t like it’d do much damage, but it was enough to make the owner of the hand yelp and withdraw for a second.
The second didn’t last long before Marie was pulled up by her arms, the grip hard enough to keep her from trying to hit them again.
“Get off me!”
Perhaps shouting at pirates wasn’t the best idea, but Marie was exhausted from several sleepless nights, pouring over the last letter Marian sent her and maps, wondering where he could have been taken. There was no question in her mind that he had been taken, after all.
A thought occurred to her, making her go still. Do pirates take survivors? Could they have forced him into their crew?
Marie wasn’t going to entertain the thought that maybe he hadn’t survived, needing to believe he was still somewhere, that she hadn’t lost the last of her family.

Pretty as a picture || Marie + Sybille + Simone
It was a quiet day, which usually was a good thing, but Marie was feeling restless. She’d been planning on maybe taking Belle for a ride later, but clouds were starting to come over, and she knew from experience that Belle would be more difficult if it did end up raining, even if just a light sprinkle.
She pulled out the latest sketch she’d been working on, hoping she’d have some inspiration rather than waste time, but she found herself looking around in the hopes of something more interesting coming along.
Her fingers drummed on her thigh, the only outward sign that she was bored. Her mother had always scolded her when she moved around all the time, so she’d learnt to keep her movements more controlled.
