i was gonna say get a new switch or 3ds game but you can do those not on a train uuuuh
Walk around and explore the train. Eat dining car food. Jump from one car roof to another while chasing the bad guy.

Because of your shape-shifting abilities, and the fact that the victim's panties are on your head right now, I think you did it! I bet Quar helped you too.

I like to try to find out about the history of the train and route, especially if it's an older train. Idk if it's the same everywhere, but where I am each car will have a unique number, so it's possible to trace the history of the particular car you're sitting in, when it was built and renovated and such.

explore the train! just like, walk up and down it a few times, see if you see any untrainlike portions of the train.

Neither. You are in the way.

i think even for a doorway leading to the outside world yr still a little more inside than outside, even if you are pausing before leaving, yr still pausing like in the Inside World ready to take the perilous journey Outside

Reply to comment by hitto in When you stand in a doorway, are you outside or inside? by hollyhoppet
the doorway is a liminal space, a boundary between two states of being, "inside" and "outside". to enter a doorway is to transition between these states, and for a brief moment one is neither inside nor outside, but in a non-state of profound uncertainty and ambiguity, where conventional order is dissolved into infinite possibilities - but sooner or later that ambiguity must coalesce into one of the predetermined states, and order is reestablished under new conditions: what once was outside is now inside, or what once was inside is now outside. the transition itself, or the ritual space reserved for it, however, cannot fully be encompassed by either state.

You'd be wrong. The doorway is part of the building, and by entering it you are thus entering a part of the building. Meaning, technically, you are inside.

easy: inside. when construction workers are doing a room that has a door going to it but the room isn't yet enclosed, technically we are all 'inside' those rooms, right? so then normally being in the door way would be like 50% outside 50% inside? but the 'construction insides' that leak out, making the doorframe itself 'inside' those rooms, outweigh that to like 49% outside 51% inside imo

I think that it is important that we allow the invisible hand of the market to decide this.

what if i were to say that actually you're outside because you're no longer inside?

the answer is no

This depends entirely on the definition of 'you'. If your head was severed from your body, which of these counts as 'you'? What if both were 'alive' after the severing? Who is arbitrarily deciding which cells of the body count as one's soul? Why are some cells of your body assigned personality, while others aren't?

i was gonna say i've never been on a train journey close to that long but then i remembered i was on a train from st petersburg to moscow in the late 90's but i don't think i did anything train unique other than sleeping on an uncomfortable train and i hope your train is more comfortable, i'd probably try and do a lot of reading, depends if i was travelling with someone though
