I fell asleep and missed my stop. 2006/06/05 23:40 Takeshi: Get off at the next subway station and get the next train back. 2006/06/05 23:41 Hasumi： That’s the weird thing. I’ve been waiting 20 mins and the train hasn’t stopped yet. 2006/06/05 23:43 Takeshi: Well, it has to stop sometime. 2006/06/05 23:43 Hasumi： I guess you’re right. 2006/06/05 23:44 Takeshi: Did you get on the wrong train by mistake? 2006/06/05 23:45 Hasumi： No. This is the same train I always get. 2006/06/05 23:46 Takeshi: Is there anyone else on the train with you? 2006/06/05 23:47 Hasumi： No. I’m all alone. The other carriages are empty. I’m kind of scared. 2006/06/05 23:47 Takeshi: Go up to the first carriage and see if you can talk to the driver. 2006/06/05 23:47 Hasumi： OK 2006/06/05 23:48 Takeshi: Ask him what the next station is. 2006/06/05 23:53 Hasumi： The window on the driver’s cabin is blacked out. I can’t see him. 2006/06/05 23:55 Takeshi: Try knocking on the window. 2006/06/05 23:56 Hasumi： I did, but there was no reply. 2006/06/05 23:57 Takeshi: That’s strange. 2006/06/05 23:59 Hasumi： The train’s slowing down now. It looks like we’re going to stop. 2006/06/05 23:59 Takeshi: Good. 2006/06/06 00:00 Hasumi： We’re stopped at a station now. Should I get off? 2006/06/06 00:00 Takeshi: You should definitely get off. 2006/06/06 00:02 Hasumi： OK. I got off. I’m on the platform. I don’t know this station. 2006/06/06 00:03 Takeshi: I’ll come and pick you up. What’s the name of the subway station? I’ll find it on Google Maps. 2006/06/06 00:04 Hasumi： It doesn’t have a name. 2006/06/06 00:04 Takeshi: Come on. It has to have a name 2006/06/06 00:05 Hasumi： I can’t see any name. 2006/06/06 00:05 Takeshi: Do you see any signs? 2006/06/06 00:06 Hasumi： They all say Subway Station. 2006/06/06 00:06 Takeshi: How about a timetable? 2006/06/06 00:07 Hasumi： Nothing. Anyway, I can’t take a train back. All the trains stop at midnight. 2006/06/06 00:08 Takeshi: If there’s a time table on the wall, it should have the name of the station on it. 2006/06/06 00:10 Hasumi： There’s nothing on the walls. 2006/06/06 00:10 Takeshi: Well, just go up the escalator and see if you can find any signs etc. 2006/06/06 00:10 Hasumi： OK 2006/06/06 00:14 Takeshi: Anything yet? 2006/06/06 00:16 Hasumi： Nothing. 2006/06/06 00:18 Takeshi: Go outside. See if there are any street signs. 2006/06/06 00:20 Hasumi： There’s nothing out here. 2006/06/06 00:20 Takeshi: Are there any buildings nearby? 2006/06/06 00:23 Hasumi： Yes. Some. But it doesn’t look like there are any people in them. The lights are all off. 2006/06/06 00:23 Takeshi: I don’t know what to do. I’m freaking out 2006/06/06 00:25 Hasumi： Don’t worry. I’ll leave the station and look for a taxi or something. 2006/06/06 00:25 Takeshi: Good idea. Be careful. 2006/06/06 00:26 Hasumi： It’s really cold out here. 2006/06/06 00:27 Takeshi: Take care of yourself. 2006/06/06 00:41 Hasumi： Still no taxis or anything. What should I do? 2006/06/06 00:43 Takeshi: Maybe there’s a phone booth nearby. You could call a taxi. 2006/06/06 00:43 Hasumi： And tell them what? I don’t know where I am. 2006/06/06 00:44 Takeshi: This is getting desperate. Youcould call the operator and ask them to trace the call. 2006/06/06 00:44 Hasumi： I don’t see any phone booths. It’s like I’m in the middle of nowhere. 2006/06/06 00:48 Takeshi: Flag down the next car that goes by. Tell them it’s an emergency. 2006/06/06 00:58 Hasumi： The streets are really deserted. I haven’t seen any cars go past while I’ve been here. I’m really scared. 2006/06/06 00:59 Takeshi: Don’t worry about it. 2006/06/06 01:00 Hasumi: That’s easy for you to say. You’re safe and warm at home. I’m the one who’s stuck out here. I’m going to freeze to death. 2006/06/06 01:01 Takeshi: Don’t panic. It’s OK. We’ll get through this. 2006/06/06 01:11 Hasumi： You’re right. Sorry. I’m calm now. I’ll just walk along the highway until I see a car. 2006/06/06 01:12 Takeshi: Just be careful. 2006/06/06 01:14 Hasumi： Of course. 2006/06/06 01:18 Takeshi: I’m worried about you. 2006/06/06 01:30 Hasumi： The lights on the highway just went out. It’s pitch black. I can’t see a thing 2006/06/06 01:31 Takeshi: That’s it. I’m calling the police. 2006/06/06 01:33 Hasumi： How will they find me? 2006/06/06 01:34 Takeshi: I don’t know. But they can look. 2006/06/06 01:36 Hasumi： This is bad. This is really bad. 2006/06/06 01:37 Takeshi: Can you see anything at all? Part 2 .. On response of more den 40likes chocoky princess ;)
