#train fare

[beggars-opera]

The fact that the Boston transit system has been a garbage fire for so long that our mascot is a sad little man who is literally stranded on the train until the end of time due to a fare increase. Charlie's desiccated corpse has been riding this train since the 1940s and everyone just sort of rolls with it it this point

a cover of "Panic Station" by Muse, ideally suited for chases through futuristic train platforms full of loop-de-loops and hostile robots!

usually I have a really hard time doing arrangements of existing songs, but I felt unusually motivated to tackle this one and managed to see it thought to completion! (took me a while because I kept spending too much time jamming out to what I already had done instead of working on the next parts lol)

♫ made with OpenMPT! ✎ cover art by me! ► SoundCloud link: https://soundcloud.com/taffywabbit/turmoil-terminus-zone ★ original song (for comparison): https://youtu.be/vk24UKKI4yY?si=RdQkA4BAHoRX1d7P

and here's the full-size cover art, while i'm at it!

True magnus protocol horror is UK train fare, as it should be

Ok so my checkup went well but just paying for train fare to Amsterdam and back to reach the clinic set me back like 60 bucks. So if y'all don't mind I'm linking my ko-fi

normally “he needs to get laid” is a dismissive and shallow response to someone’s emotional strife but in the case of ldpdl it’s actually true. he has problems that are fundamentally caused by his refusal to bust and there’s only one solution

i think it’s so funny watching show fans say “yeah lockwood pays for everything!” when in the books lucy gets soo pissy about george and lockwood always conveniently “forgetting” their wallets at home and making her pay for everything

i’m gonna backpack all of europe except instead of a normal route i’m just gonna go to every single location mentioned in UNW in order /j

it only counts if you do it in story order, here I made you a handy numbered route map

and yes you do have to go back to Paris for every time E and R did, that's very important

NO FINE!!!!

it's not the going out that's the trouble (the jedi spaceport connects to the nearby transit station through a skytunnel that opens up behind the ticket desks/turnstiles). it's the getting back.

“What’s the problem here?” Sifo-Dyas turns around to face the traffic cops. He pulls an exaggeratedly confused face. Dooku looks away. “My card isn't working,” Sifo-Dyas tells the blue police droid. He holds his transit pass up so that the gold foil of the Jedi logo faces outward, to make identification a lot easier. It would, if most of the logo hadn't been won off. The traffic droid takes the card and holds it over the invisible laser. It gives a disgruntled beep. “You already swiped it, Master Jedi. Go on ahead.” “Great!” Sifo-Dyas plucks his card from the droid’s pincers and shoves it back into his pocket. He tugs at Dooku’s elbow and huddles me in front of them. “Master Jedi,” says the police droid. “Don’t,” mutters Dooku. “Sir, you can't take three people on one card!” The light on the droid’s head starts to strobe an irritating, incessant red. I look down at the floor. “But it's a monthly pass! I'm supposed to have unlimited rides.” “You.” The droid points. It moves its pincer-finger. “Not you. Also not you.” Sifo-Dyas points at himself. “Jedi.” He switches to his thumb to indicate me and, by including my general area as he waves his hand back and forth, Dooku, as well. “Also Jedi.” “Where is his transit pass?” “Forgot it,” says Sifo-Dyas without a hint of remorse. He leans forward to tell the droid in confidence, “He’s been forgetting a lot of things lately. It's getting a bit worrying.” What’s going on here? Two more traffic cops, neither of them droids, stroll over. The droid’s flashing light ceases.

stats from my last run on OCTOBER 11? can’t wait to see how i do after my 6 month winter break

look don't tell anyone from head office that i told you this but if the ticket inspector is coming and you don't have a ticket you can hide in the loo with the door locked

also on a totally, completely unrelated note: there are a number of stations that aren't staffed/dont have ticket barriers near bigger busier places :)

THANK YOU NYX for making sure I didn't get a parking ticket today 😭
