"You guys are weirder than the people I know." she replied, shaking her head with a snicker.
Mid-Round Update - The Ticket
The Knowitall kid decides to share his knowledge with Cleopatra again.
"Hey, did you know, Montezuma, the King of the Aztecs, would drink 50 quarts of hot chocolate every day? It is said th- hey!"
The Knowitall kid spots the young hero girl sneaking into the Caboose.
"Hey! You can't get in there without an adult! That's against the rules!"
The hero girl ignores him and simply proceeds. That is when the Conductor appears behind her in an intimidating fashion.
"Did the boy have his share of Hot Chocolate?"
"N... no..." the girl replies.
"Well, then what're we waiting for?" the Conductor bellowed in a manner most friendly, "let's bring it to him!"
And so the Conductor and the hero girl vanish into the Caboose.
The Hero Boy might notice something on the Hero Girl's chair...
A ticket!
Most likely that girl's ticket...
Before he knew it, the ticket flew out of the window before anyone could catch it....
"I guess I'm not the only one who had the idea," the young girl smiles as she sees the sight of Chase giving his Hot Chocolate to Marco. She proceeds to give hers to the boy who sat in the corner.
"Th- thank you," the boy weakly replied as he started to take a sip.
"Well," the Conductor adds, "we have a tight schedule so we'll be heading out now. I'll be back for you all later."
Following that, the girl and the Conductor leave the Caboose.
In the darkness of the Caboose, the individuals that stood there would feel an eerie presence. A petite girl donning black gothic lolita clothing would appear before them.
"I enjoy socialising as much as you all do," the mysterious maiden steps out of the shadows as she speaks, "but to miss the chance of a drink? Preposterous."
From the shadows, a tusked, chimerical quadraped beast with the snout of an elephant, ears and size of a dog and scales of a dragon appears. From the ceiling, an odd spider-shaped being slung down from its web.
"Arachnophobia is very common, but Franklin here isn't a wild beast that acts on instinct," the young woman assures in her neutral voice, "in Layman's terms, he doesn't bite."
Underneath the spider, a large dreamcatcher, improvised as a tray to carry a few cups of Hot Chocolate, was conjured from the shadows as it hovered in place. Using its twiggy legs, the arachnid handed Hot Chocolate to those who didn't have it. It appeared that the prior-mentioned chimerical beast used its long snout to do the same, holding the handles of the cups like an elephant would hold a giang uprooted tree.
"They're all out. So I pulled a trick to get you all this while they were still serving it, so yes, I already had my share," the young woman says. She turns to Chase. "It turns out that the idea was not completely mine. I- it's only natural for me to do this. It is choice for you, but it is duty for me..."
The young woman turns to make her back face the group, before unleashing an lacy umbrella and opening it.
And so, the Conductor has returned.
"Attention passengers, can I have your tickets please?"
"O- OK..." Mirei says, scratching her head. Her two friends followed. "Wait a second, we were never given tickets!"
"Are you sure you checked your pocket?"
Nothing there.
"How about your other pocket?"
It was there alright.
The Conductor, with agility that would make Usain Bolt look like a snail, punches various holes on the three tickets to create a pair of letters on each of them.
"What does S-O mean?"
And so the Conductor walked towards the Hero Boy, only to find this scene unfold.
"You can have my ticket if you want."
The Conductor grabs the ticket from the Hero Boy.
"I'll have you know that these tickets are non-exchangeable and one-of-a-kind per person!" the Conductor angrily exclaims.
"He was only giving me his to ticket because I lost mine!" the Hero Girl retaliated.
"So you lost your ticket, right?" the Conductor asks the Hero Girl, only to be responded with a nod. "Well, come with me."
The young Hero Girl looks back as the Conductor guides her away.
"I'll be back for your tickets in a while, everyone! So stay put!"
In a blink of convenience, the girl's ticket appears in the air vents, allowing the young Hero Boy to snatch it swiftly. That was when he knew what he had to do. He stands up, ready to roll.
The Knowitall kid, in all his glory, interrupts him.
"Hey! You can't head there without an adult! This train has rules!"
"But I have to give this ticket back to her!" the Hero Boy retaliates.
So, would you aid this boy in his quest to deliver the ticket to the girl, or be obedient and stay put in your seat, like the Conductor ordered?

Sometimes she wanted to tell the Knowitall kid to shut up and just sit there or something. No one liked a tattle tale of his degree after a while.
After seeing the new arrivals in the caboose, Marco decided that he this might have been a bit too weird even for him. And with that, Marco grabbed his hot chocolate and headed to the passenger car. When he got there though, he saw what happened with the girl and her ticket as he took his seat.
Marco, of course, was conflicted about the situation as it unfolded before his eyes. On the one hand, he was known as the "safe kid." The guy who always played by the rules. Mr. Nice Guy. And he was fine with that. But on the other hand, who knew what would happen to the girl? From the look on the conductor's face, it seemed as though he was pretty angry with the girl. He had to do something to help, right? I mean it would be what Star would do in this situation, after all.
That was it. He had decided. Gulping down the rest of his hot chocolate, Marco stood up and approached the know it all kid. As he approached the kid, Marco looked to the Hero Boy and motioned for him to get the ticket.
"So what are you planning on doing when we get to the North Pole?" Marco asked, trying to get the kid distracted long enough so the other boy would have time to grab the ticket without Mr. Knowitall alerting the conductor.

Just as everything calmed down, Mei heard and saw the intense situation that began to unfold in front of her eyes. Without much assessment, she quickly stood in front of the boy and shielded him with her arms, hoping the Conductor won't hurt the little boy.
When Marco tried to make a conversation happening with a seemingly very arrogant child, Mei saw this as the perfect opportunity to get the Hero Boy to move it. Attempting to hustle the boy to get to the girl without a ticket, she dropped her arms, before apologising to the Conductor for breaking a rule.
"Hurry!" Mei whispered quietly to the hero boy, "Or else the conductor might kick you off the train!"
@Minerva @Crow
Getting out of her seat and throwing on her tattered cloak she walked over to Hero Boy to encourage him to go on, mostly for the fact that he was, in a way, like Shion. Going out of his way to help people. It was somewhat admirable.
"Oi, kid, get a move on. Unless you need someone to hold your hand?" she joked, placing her hands on her hips. Did she really have any authority to call people kid on this train? Oh well, it's not like she's bothering to know their names or anything--other than the few she's come to learn.
