Colton's Adventure


You yawn loudly, and the ermine takes it as a cue to leave. You sprawl out onto the plush train seat and let your eyes drift close. You speculate about what it's like there, about the people, about...everything. You overheard there weren't that many people there from someone when you bought your ticket. Maybe that's a good sign? Maybe it just means you'll get some peace and quiet. ...After you find Penny, of course.

You get fairly deep into napping before the piercing screech of the train's breaks taking the thing to a halt wake you up. With a bing for fanfare, a robot voice comes on over the speakers: "Now arriving at: Apricot Bay."

It feels like she's announcing your fate, if you're honest. Penny could forgive you. She might not. You're not sure if you wanna avoid the pain or get it over with as fast as possible. Nothing is safe.

> Scared. Really scared.
