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.

Knowing pain was part of it was the reason Bucky got potions put on him, to ease as much of it as was possible. But if the sigh was any indication, they'd gotten it back in place.

"If you don't, you're going to end up where you began today." Ignis smirked It was good to see the other smile, it seemed it wasn't a common thing.

That got a laugh -- and a little bit of a blush -- out of him in reply. "Why do I get the feeling you're not above putting me there?" he asked warmly, even as he pushed himself to his feet. He was careful to be gentle with his injured arm, because if there's one person he doesn't want to cross, it'd Ignis.

"I wouldn't be the one putting you there. That would be you." Ignis smiled. But Bucky probably figured if he ended back up in the advisor's care there would be a lecture of sorts along with fussing. And if he had that much worked out, he was incredibly correct.

"Alright, alright," he laughs. "I won't make you take care of me again any time soon, I promise." There were certainly worse fates, but he'd rather stay on Ignis's good side.
