Stone Men In Water Street

[Brian]

You find your flight and are shortly shuffled into a plane which then (somewhat less shortly) takes off.

Your flight is blissfully uneventful, with a notable lack of terrorism, until you land, and realize that not only have you flown to Alabama, you've done so largely of your own volition.

After your travel, it's now about: 2:45 PM on January 22nd, 2007.

[Bjorn]

Pausing in the gate lounge to stretch out kinks, Bjorn asks, "When are we supposed to meet Victor again?  We need to get out of here before I start making the obvious jokes."

[Rezantis]

"10pm, at Coreen's. We were gong to get a PO box if I remember, but that was about it for the afternoon."

[Bjorn]

"Shit.  Seven hours to kill?  Goddamn.  Well, first step is to get a PO Box, I guess.  Might take us a while, since we'll have to bus or taxi.  Any other ideas?"

[Rezantis]

"Yep, buy a couple of train tickets east on your credit card."

[Bjorn]

"Hmmm."  Scratching his forearm thoughtfully, Bjorn replies, "Okay.  I can see the point in that, but how are we going to get out of Montgomery?  If we buy train tickets now, and then tomorrow get a flight, they'll know we weren't on the train, and that we were trying to hide something."

[Rezantis]

"We leave via greyhound bus, and pay cash.  They'll probably just figure we were trying to lose them - IF they get out trail.  Besides, they don't actually keep track of what train tickets got used like they do with aircraft. Sound like a plan?"

[Bjorn]

Bjorn shrugs.  "If Montgomery even has a train station.  It probably does, but ya never know."  Eyeing the airport, he says, "Let's get going.  Probably isn't the best place to discuss this, anyways."

[Rezantis]

"Alrighty. Post office first, I guess."

Rez follows Bjorn out of the terminal.

[Bjorn]

Bjorn looks around for a mass transit terminal.

[Brian]

You find one after a bit of searching.  It's not as large as you might expect ... but then again, neither is Montgomery.

[Bjorn]

Bjorn studies a map of the system.  "What do you think?  We could just go straight downtown, or head for the train station -- if there is one.  There'll probably be a post office either place."

[Rezantis]

"Train station first, I think." Rez nods.

[Brian]

One of the bus routes deposits you at a train-station where a bunch of grade-schoolers are apparently heading back to school from a field-trip.  Apparently, there was a relatively (locally) famous incident between Martin Luther King Jr. and some authorities in 1956.

The post office (a holdover from the days of the Old West, most likely) is directly across the street from the station, where you're deposited after disembaring from the bus.

[Bjorn]

"All right.  Why don't you go and set up the PO box?  I'll go buy the train tickets, and meet you there."
