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

[voidtreckermods]

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.

There's some relief at him accepting her offer so easily. While Madoka is helpful to the very core, her natural politeness makes her fret a lot about whether or not she's crossing boundaries a little too fast.. but it seems to have paid off in this situation.

The relief is so obviously visible too - Madoka could never hide that kind of thing. Her shoulders seem to release some tension, and her smile grows a tad wider.

"Thank you." It's easy to think it's just for him saying that he hopes she'll find who she's looking for, but it's also just for being sweet and gracious enough to accept her offer. Duo seems like such a nice guy...

It's even followed up by a quick bow before she's running off, quickly trying to locate the people she knows to check up on them.

"See you..!"

Duo looked down at his hand and laughed softly to himself and dropped it to shove it and his other back into his pockets.

"I'll see you." he grinned and took himself off in the other direction. She was cute and sweet, whether he would run into her again or not was up for debate, but he wouldn't be against it if he did.
