After Echoes [Open]

Who: Kitty and Open
Where: Medical carriage
When: Horseshoe 21-24
What: Kitty takes a few days to recover after the most recent happening on the train
Warnings: Probably nothing, but will update if anything comes up

Kitty wasn't sure when it happened exactly - between seeing Professor Xavier and the others out in the void, all the ghosts of people on the train, and some additional distress crashing over her that wasn't even really hers, there had been a lot going on. In a bit of a panic, she retreated by herself, and the next thing she knew she was being awoken by Inigio, who had to help her to the medical carriage because she'd been barely able to move.

Which is where she would spend the next few days recovering, her body still feeling rather weak no matter how much sleep she'd get. She does regain her strength eventually, though having some visitors come see her would probably help too.

"Eat up," Nita suggested. "It'll help you feel better."

Or at least warmer.

"... You want to talk about yesterday? Or something completely different?"

Kitty gets to choose the topic-slash-direction here. Was today for distraction, or for trying to figure things out?

"But food comes first."

Nita let herself lean against the wall, settling slightly.

"Got a point, there. It was all past stuff, even for all the meaning it holds for us."

There weren't exactly new lessons to be learned, there.

Nita sighed.

"Exactly. I'm loathe to let anyone test how survivable the void is..."

Even her and Xander's studies on the material used to make up the train's outer shell hadn't yielded much. Recreating it - well, that was another step entirely.

Nita started to shake her head- then stopped.

"I recognized some of the faces - the 'ghosts' on the train - from the memories we saw on the island."

The ghosts hadn't done anything special, though.

"Yeah."

Nita shook her head slowly, recalling more.

"So when those former Voidtreckers showed up, it was all former Voidtreckers... or close to it, anyway."

"Well, it's not as if we have a roster for the people here before us..."

She wondered if it'd be too rude to ask the train about that; nevermind.

"And then there were the Voidtreckers that were versions of people currently on the train."

Which was an entirely different sort of headache.

"Yeah."

She shook her head as if to rid it of the subject.

"But, apart from that... how's your month been, Kitty?"

Just because they were roommates didn't mean they knew everything the other did, after all.

"About the same," Nita admitted.

"It'd been pretty quiet for a non-mission month, at least until yesterday."

Just wait until Nita got back to their room and realized there was a change in the roster...

Good enough to wrap hereabouts?

Nita wrinkled her nose.

"Now it just sounds like we're tempting fate..."

Straightening back up, she continued, "But for now, just focus on resting, okay? And finishing what you've got, there," she said in a somewhat lighter tone.
