"Welcome Welcome, Yall!
Hope I haven't kept ya waitin too long.
Madge's Place has a seat for you no matter who ya are.
I've been working a looong time to make this homey little diner train what it is, and the best meals are ones shared with friends so... grab a plate traveler.
The raven's path has been my home on rails for far longer than I care to keep track of, and in my time I've lived all kinds of lives and met all kinds of fascinatin folks.
Some of 'em even stay here now, so if you've got a spell to spend, I'm sure they'd love to share a story or two... or five. or ten, some of 'em are real chatty.
I've worked hard to make sure this is more than just a stop to catch yer breath. It's a space for unpackin and healing where we meet you where ya are, find out where you wanna go, and help ya start gettin there.
Prayin' you can find a scrap of peace in this mixed up multiverse of ours.
In the meantime, meet me at the station!! I'll see you there. Don't be a stranger, alright?"
