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.

The weasel wriggled in agreement, he did have to find Elfnein. He was worried about her. Even though it looked like everyone had come back together, she is quite small though not as small as he was at the moment.

But he doesn't think anyone will squish her on purpose, so it might be a good idea to wait a little bit for the confusion to die down.

47 kept his hands placed carefully as the weasel wiggled in excitement to make certain it didn't fall but decided against holding it tighter when it calmed back down and stayed in his hands. That decided, he resumed walking at a normal pace and went further down the line of carriages.

For a moment he debated heading into his cabin while letting the commotion settle down. But he decided instead to go to the greenhouse carriage. It seemed a good idea for both himself to watch how many people evacuated back into the rest of the train and for the little weasel to have a comfortable spot to run around.

Once inside the greenhouse carriage, 47 made his way towards some of the organized beds where green sprouts were already visible and sat down on the ground next to them. He sat crossed legged and set the weasel in his lap. He made no attempt to keep it there, only pet it for as long as it stayed near.

The greenhouse was a good place to be, and this way he would be able to spot Elfnein if she came through. He sat on the mans lap for a moment but he wasn't really one to sit still, in any form and soon he is climbing up the man to look at the newly growing plants. It looks like someone worked hard in here and he tilts a head at the man, asking if it was him.

47 let the weasel climb as it pleased the small creature, he didn't mind. It wouldn't hurt his odd reputation on the train either. For a moment 47 thought about what kind of life he was living here--but that was a slippery slope and he focused back on the present.

He cocked his head back at the weasel. "You can go explore. Just be careful."

It felt a little odd to talk to the creature but he simply reminded himself that some of the animals already on board the train were smarter and better trained than he would expect at a glance.

He nudged his shoulder with his nose, to show he understood and would be careful. He hopped off into the planter, though he stayed close. He knows he has to be close to help keep the other mans spirits up. That was important, especially after things had gotten so scary!

He sniffed at the green sprouts, wondering what was growing. The man had always seemed a little scary to Romeo, so he had always tried not to get in his way. But if he liked plants and weasels then he couldn't be so bad after all!
