CLOOOOOOOUUUUUUUD

[Messy, all-over-the-place handwriting. Unsigned because the writing is very comparable to the post in the middle of the board that has been signed already]

Cloooooud? Is there something particularly interesting about fluffy, white things in the sky now? Or wait! No way! This place has special clouds?!

It's a name. A name!

Ohhh, I see! A name!

... A strange name. But I like it! Who is it?

You just signed a post 'Rail Tracer', and you think Cloud is weird?

Exactly! See, Rail Tracer makes perfect sense! 'Cloud' doesn't yet. So tell me, what's the story behind that one?

How 'bout you explain why 'Rail Tracer' makes sense?

Gladly! I have to start somewhere with the story, anyway.

Right then. It's a legend! A story, story! Actually wait...

Have you ridden a train before? Or do you know of one? Sakura said that the people here are from different worlds and time periods, so maybe you wouldn't know.

Yeah, yeah, I know what trains are. Where I'm from isn't that backwards.

Oh, good! That makes my story easier to tell!

It's said that the Rail Tracer is a monster that chases trains. If it reaches you, it will devour everyone on board and leave no trace except a bloody, violent trail of gore.

The only way to escape the Rail Tracer is if you run away before nightfall, but if it has already come... there will inevitably be blood.

Scary, right? It's a legend, so it makes perfect sense!

Hahaha! Gotta do a lot better than that if you wanna scare me.

But, why use that name? You some kind of Rail Tracer fan?

Yep, doesn't seem like much when it's just a story like this! But when the nightmare comes...

Hmm, you might say that!

I've seen worse.

… Oooooookay.

Really? I've got to match up to that then, right?

[Here, Claire's drawn a massive happy face.]

Unless you've got a direct line to any Meteors, you're outta luck.

Guess he slept in, huh?

Yup. What a loser.
