The mini-Gloucester is much like the real one in a multitude of ways. This includes the train tracks that run through and around town. In spite of himself, it's the railyard that Winter finds himself drawn to. He and his companion(s) will be able to hear the scream of a tiny engine as a train runs around the town, pulling into each of the stations every so often on its circular track. And those screams sound... familiar.
Желание Ржавый Семнадцать...
They're almost right, words that prickle at the back of the mind that pull him toward those rails. And at some point, Winter and anyone with him will find themselves on one of the plastic train car platforms, whether they actually get close or not. The world races by too quickly to make out more than blurs. It's frigidly cold, and looking out, anyone gazing off the train or leaning out will find themselves with a sudden sense of intense vertigo.
In the cars themselves, there are toy soldiers and doctors. The doctors seem to be working on the soldiers, disassembling and reassembling them, opening their chests to check on beating hearts or heads to prod at brains. They seem to be frantic, as well. Something will happen when the train reaches its destination and they want to finish before that. They need to work quickly and, oh! More people have joined. Well, sit down and strap in; they'll get to you soon.
The doctors are not violent, but they are insistent, trying to strap Winter and his companion(s) into chairs with belts and manacles. If anyone is strapped in, the doctors always seem to be just about to use a device on them, about to cut into them or jab them with a syringe.
What awaits at the 'end' of the tracks is an unknown and efforts to get to the front of the train and talk with the conductor will find that there isn't anyone driving this train. If left long enough, it will seem to plunge off a broken bridge, dropping everyone from a height and 'killing' them on the landing.
Except... that's not the end. Instead, the scene resets. They're back on the platform where they started and Winter has no memory of what has just transpired, what he's seen. His companion does, though. The scene will continue to reset if the train is forcibly derailed or reaches its end point (of derailing).
Please feel free to embellish and run with your nightmare as much as you'd like! We only ask that her solution to escaping be either inspired, assisted, or in some way aided by another character!
cw: potential for mind control, vertigo, medical horror, memory loss
