[...What the fuck.]

I have so many questions that I honestly don't know where to start.

[psychonductor]

how many of them are about trains?

[droptheious]

Quite a few of them are. I understand how they work but I'm a little confused about how plastic is involved. Are they toys?

[psychonductor]

they’re functional miniature replicas.


[So. Toys.]

[droptheious]

[LONG LONG PAUSE.]

Pretty sure that's the definition of a toy. So it's a toy store?

[psychonductor]

gee, i don’t know…isn’t that broadening the definition a little too much? i’d call it more of a ‘specialist hobby store’ myself.

how many questions are we down now?

[Finally, a worthy challenger!]

Now, tell me, where can I buy one of these special and magical trains?

[psychonductor]

COME TO
FINAL DESTINATION

[And the address is written with much the same decoration, good luck if you can read it through the eye sears.]

*terms and conditions apply
*magical and special nature of trains not guaranteed

[localweirdo]

How bright and colorful! I'll definitely remember where it is from!

Although, I would disappointed if a certain song doesn't play when I go.

[And here, have some music.]

[psychonductor]

in the interest of absolute customer satisfaction, I’ll even make it a personal rendition. how’s that?

[localweirdo]

Complete with trumpets and horns? Are you saying you can play the entire song all on your own?

...I fought a train once. That counts, aye?

[psychonductor]

[In the background of Crito’s reply, the ticking and gentle choo of model trains can be heard.]

Hmmm…well, in my professional opinion, I’d say it depends on what you’re counting it for.
