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.

"Trouble? Moi?" Duo tried to look shocked, he really did. It was almost real, he wasn't sure which part of what he'd said had indicated he was trouble, but he was soon laughing despite that.

"I'm just me, can't be anyone else!" Says the guy who tended to be anything but who he was, though that was in itself just a part of his personality as well. The laughter faded and the smile he gave then was apologetic, his voice low. "I don't try to be too much trouble to friends though. So I'm sorry if I am."

Bucky laughs warmly, giving his head a shake. "Oh, I mean it as the highest complement," he replies with a grin. "My best friend is the worst kind of trouble, and you remind me of him a little."

Maybe they're different brands of trouble, but he's sure he'll end up chasing after Duo just as much as he did with Steve. "You wouldn't be any fun if you weren't trouble."

[maxwellsdaemon]

"Ohhh, well in that case..." He was all smiles again. Duo had actually worried Bucky would think he was really hell bent on causing messes. He wasn't, not really. At least not for the people he liked. Nah, he tended to reserve that for the people he didn't.

"Damn straight!" He lifted his legs to cross them where he sat perched on the edge of the counter. "If you're not having fun, are you really living?"

[luckybucky]

His eye twitched, ever so slightly, when those shoes got on the kitchen counter top. He set the ice bag aside, leaning down to get under the sink, and pulled out a rag and a spray bottle. "For when you get up," he said lightly, picking up his ice pack again and putting it back on his shoulder.

He leaned against the opposite counter, letting out a little sigh. "Oh well. Either way, I guess I need to suck it up. No matter what I decide to do with my arm..." he glanced at the kitchen ICP. "I've gotten okay at using the one in here."

Duo looked very puzzled by what Bucky was doing, but when the disinfectant was pulled out he burst out laughing. "Seriously? I've been sat up here for ages and it's my feet that's the problem?" He rolled his eyes, but he'd do as the guy wanted and he'd wipe up after himself. Not like he was filthy or anything.

He followed Bucky's gaze and then raised a brow curiously. "You don't like those things or sumthin?"
