You look around you and admire the scenery as Hairy Whale takes you to the train station this side of the village. He then promptly shoots off in the direction of the vending machine which he knows sells timeout bars. You are left to look around the station, consisting of just two platforms (one for each foot) and a waiting room. After you have stood for a while looking around, a train arrives, and the room looks at its watch, sighs, and hurries on to the train just before it leaves again.

At that moment, a man comes into the station, cursing the fact that he's a bit behind schedule and the train's left. He is carrying a guitar, and looks either ill or tired, you're not sure which. He looks a little intimidating, but you realise that since he's a guitarist his brain is probably even further behind than the rest of him, so you decide it's probably harmless enough to talk to the strange man.
