Error 4639

[voidtreckermods]

Day Twenty Two starts as any other day onboard the Voidtrecker Express. The morning announcement and then passengers are free to fall back to sleep or get up and start the day. Breakfast is made. However not so long after the wake up call anyone near an ICP point will see it flash bright white.

A moment later there is a message. It shows on the screens for fifteen minutes and indeed anyone trying to use the ICPs for anything else will have trouble as it seems determined to be all that they can access. Then the screen goes white again. Bold text flashes up.

Error code 4639. Program must end.

The screen goes black and stays black. Every ICP on the train is down. That is not all. When passengers try and speak to each other they will learn that whatever it was that allowed them to understand each other has stopped working.

Hopefully that won't cause too much mayhem...

"Lapis is a blue gem that was used to create the world of Lapis. I don't expect any of it to be here. It'd make life easier, but I'm not going to hope for something like that."

She tilts her head and thinks, "Visions are a special kind of magic. Not exactly summoning spirits, but summoning a memory and giving it physical form to act as a companion in fights. Very complicated magic. Don't have any of the things needed for it."

[myblueskies]

Oh he had never heard of anything like that so she was probably right. There was probably no world making gems here!

"It sounds very complicated! You're very smart!"

Because he barely understood any of that!

[grannyofthebolt]

"Eh, I dunno about that. When you get to be my age you pick up a few things." Says the 12 year old looking girl.

"You're sure this cured meat and tree sugar isn't a toxic combination though, right?"

[myblueskies]

He blinked, "How old are you?" Because she looked closed to his age. But he is best friends with an ancient vampire, he's met many gods who look little bit were actually hundreds of years old.

She does seem like she is smarter than most kids their age, since she can do such good magic!

"Erm.... I kind of stopped counting around 200. Historically over 700, but I couldn't give you the actual number anymore. It became a lot less important when the cake was going to set actual buildings on fire."

She laughs a bit nervously at that, "But don't worry about it."

[myblueskies]

"Wow that must be a big cake!"

It might take seven hundred years to eat a cake that was big enough to hold seven hundred candles!

"It's okay miss! I know lots of people who look little but are really old. Are you a god?"

[grannyofthebolt]

"A god? No. No I'm not one of those. I've met a few but I'm just a human who submitted to a very unwise experiment far too early in life."

[myblueskies]

"An unwise experiment?" He blinked at her, "Is that why you lived a long time? What was the experiment?"
