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.

When he finds Conan, it is just after the healing has been completed and Conan has been helped to his feet. His clothes are still stained with blood, although the injury itself is gone.

Seeing the hole in Conan's sleeve and the blood on the floor and the boy's clothes was not doing much to calm Trowa down. As gently as he could manage, he grabbed Conan by the wrist and examined his arm. "This was the only one? Or just the worst one?"

[deductiongeek]

Conan sways slightly from exhaustion. "That was the worst of it. And it's fine. Sarai was able to heal me."

"You should rest now. Where is your cabin?" Without asking, Trowa picked Conan up and settled the small boy comfortably in his arms. "I'll take you there now."

[deductiongeek]

"I can walk. I'm not that tired." But he sighs and decides its not worth the fight.

"Cabin 1B. All the way at the end."

With a nod, Trowa started for the door of the luggage carriage. He would make sure that Conan got as much rest as needed.
