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.

Comments

The comment about the Juggernaut is what caught Prisoner's attention and tipped him off that maybe she wasn't actually okay? He quit trying to pick his arm up and looked over to her. Her eyes looked weird, not like they should, and that's when the worry set in. This was a new feeling for him and he wasn't entirely certain what it meant, but he knew he needed her to get help for.... Whatever was making her weird.

At the question he shrugged his shoulders as best as he could for what bones were broken. He had no clue what that was and why the train was going so fast, nor could he give more of an answer outside of the shrug anyway. He looked around and noticed there were a myriad of people in the room with them and he started trying to get up. He found one of his knees weren't working properly so he had to do his best, but after careening against one of the walls to stabilize himself, he managed to get up.

He was just looking around the room at this point, assessing who all was here.

NOW OPEN! Cal Kestis autopiloted with permission.

"This is not good. No, no." Prisoner wasn't the only one who was trying to get to their feet, either. It didn't hurt that she was stubborn, but there Renee was, at least making the attempt.

The fact that the room was spinning as if she'd been on a bender before now? That didn't help things at all. She lurched forward, ending up on her hands and knees, and swallowed hard. Yeah, that was vague nausea, but there were way too many people packed in here for Renee to let herself do a technicolor yawn.

Maybe later. About then, another redhead came hurrying over, face a picture of concern.

"Renee, what happened!" That's from Cal, as he looks from the other redhead to Prisoner. Renee snorted. "He can't tell you, he doesn't have a mouth!" She paused. "I need to go to the infirmary."

At least there was a part of her that was being sensible. "And he needs a sandwich," she said, with a vague wave to Prisoner. She almost lurched forward again to faceplant on the floor, but caught herself in time.

"Yeah, I should go sooner rather than later," she admitted.

Webmind didn't need to say that the two of them looked ill; it was patently obvious.

But- "He can regain health just from eating?"

He sounded just the slightest bit baffled as he came to help steady Renee with Cal, the image on his screen a :/ to match.

"We can help with both of those needs, however."
