Event: Abort! Part Two (day 25, Egret). Luggage carriage

They are on world world#27462947582 for about five hours, helping, ushering people out of the city, fighting monsters, keeping guard. All seems well in the city itself, peaceful even except for the slight panic of people being told to move south.

Wherever they are, north in the desert, travelling through the countryside to the south or still in the city itself they will notice from their peripheral vision a darkening of the sky. Looking up they will see clouds. Strange clouds, appearing in the blue sky out of nowhere.

Their SCA’s start beeping, rapidly, flashing red. The clouds are too weird to be clouds, dark shapes in the sky. It might be that the Voidtreckers heed the warning and tap their SCA to evacuate to the train. It might be that they do not.

If they don’t then there is a moment, a moment of absolute stillness as those around them notice the shapes. A confused pause. Children stop their chatter, people stop their complaining, even the monsters seem to sense something and pause in their attacks.

The remaining voidtreckers are yanked away, even without pressing their SCA, they glow gold and disappear.

They all appear in the luggage carriage and not even a second later, with no warning the train lurches, flinging everyone off their feet as it enters the void.

It’s not really easy to tell speed in the void, but they will get the sense that they are moving fast. Faster than before, leaving that world and whatever those shapes were behind.

She shrugs. "I don't know. Neither of us are ready to touch that wound, yet. He has tended his apologies, and promised me change... but we have yet to speak of that time."

She sighs. "Perhaps so. But he should not have said such things anyway."

She smiles again at that. "As am I."

"At least he apologized," Glorfindel said with a smile. "Hopefully eventually he will be ready to talk about it." It would definitely help with his healing, that Glorfindel knew.

"I am sorry you do not have more of your sons here, though." But only for her sake. He wasn't sure the Train could handle all seven. Even Middle Earth had seemed too small at times.

"Are you sure the train could survive?" She lifts an amused eyebrow at him. "I love them dearly, but well familiar am I with their... mm, willful natures."

"I...was actually doubting that same thing," Glorfindel confessed. "Middle Earth did not seem big enough at times, and that had a lot more space than this Train!"

She peals with laughter.

"Ai! Well, there's truth enough in that. Finwe's kin are full of fire."
laurefindil: (Look over there!)

"Speaking of fire, I think the pastries are done," Glorfindel said, checking the oven. "Yes, looks done. Here, stand back."

He pulled the trays from the oven, their warm, sweet, cheesy aromas filling the space. "Now comes the hard part. Waiting for them to cool enough to eat." He grinned at her as he transferred the pastries to the wire racks to help them cool.

She laughs. "At least we have no over-eager younglings to warn away from burning their fingers. Shall we enjoy a cup of tea in the meantime?"
