Under the Sea: Conclusion and aftermath
Ritual
The jellyfish is no more and as red team take stock of their injuries, or collapse from exhaustion the lights zip around them, singing their song of joy. They gather around the light that had been inside the jellyfish and now that it has been released it is obvious this light is different. Stronger. They surround it and the song gets even louder as they begin to move towards the plinth.
In the caverns where the purple and orange team are there is a stillness. For those in orange team still in the cavern they can only hope that the instructions they gave out had been followed. Luckily for them they have been, Purple team have done a remarkable job of defeating the crabs and cleaning the temple. The priests gather around the shell on the alter, arms linked together in prayer as they seek to re-sanctify their temple. As their prayer begins they will invite the voidtreckers to join them, though no one is forced into taking part in the ritual. They suggest that they use their strange wrist jewellery to open communication with their friends in Bui.
The monster on the beach is defeated and though the fight is still raging against the crabs, a beacon has been built and lit. The islanders who are not fighting gather around it, linking arms, drawing any voidtreckers who don't object to joining them into the circle.
The song begins hesitantly, almost as if everyone has forgotten the words and only half remembers the tune. The SCA translates, the prayer is simple, a blessing on the land and its people, deliverance from the darkness and hope for the future.
The light from the jellyfish reaches the plinth and is set upon it. The song heightens and the light shoots upwards, blinding in its brilliance.
Through the dark storm clouds a light streams towards the island, most of it towards the beacon on the island though there is a break away light that goes towards the train, where some of orange team have set up a second beacon. It swirls around those on the train roof, singing a song of happiness and bounces back towards the island.
The light reaches the main beacon and hits it with a strength that lights up the whole sky. The light splits more solidly into two and speeds off over the ocean. Light pours into the underground caverns, not caring about the ocean and rock in the way, the light pools into the shells, the caverns glow warmly.
Outside the storm calms, clouds roll back, the sun shines. The sea stills. The wind stops. The sun is rising, a beautiful dawn. Any monsters left scuttle away, vanishing into the ocean, away from Bui.
Those with any powers that they couldn't reach before find them returned in a rush. Those who can sense life find this world teeming with it. A song that dances between every plant and creature.
Some of red may have evacuated to the train but those who stayed to see the ritual through, the world around them seems to melt away and they find themselves back next to the rock pools. Among their number there are some confused looking islanders who intrinsically draw closer to those who helped free the lights.
Orange and Purple
Down underwater there's noise and a babble of voices as the citizens of Bui wake up. There's a shimmering around the city now, like a shield though they can pass through easily. Parents scramble to locate their children and all check on loved ones and friends.
The familiar voice of train announcements is heard through Orange team's SCAs. Orange return to the VoidTrecker Express. Once everyone is on board it flies low over the ocean, skimming the waves.
In the underwater temple the priests finish sealing the ritual and then it is time to begin the return trek. There are no monsters this time and after a few hours, as they emerge onto the first of the sandbanks they will find the VoidTrecker Express is waiting for them.
Red and Blue
The monsters gone, those of the island gather everyone from the rock pools and for a few hours everyone sleeps.
At about noon the islanders begin to stir, begin putting things to rights. Wood is moved from the strategic points to more communal campfires on the beach. Any dead monsters that haven't been gathered for food have been washed out to sea, disappeared into the depths. They begin to prepare food and won't turn away any helpers. Though those who have been fighting are encouraged to rest.
The islanders bring blankets and start to gather. Everyone is exhausted but the children, in the way of children find the energy to play in the sea and the sand.
Beach Day
Early afternoon the train lands on the beach and everyone gets a holographic message to their SCA.
Mission successful. Well done Voidtreckers. Enjoy the rest of your day. You will find suitable clothing in the dressing room. A new recipe has been added to the kitchen information points.
The dressing room is indeed open once more, this time it holds swimsuits of every style, shorts, t shirts, wraps and beach skirts. Sun hats and sunglasses can also be found. It's a bit of a mush mash but they should be able to cobble together something other than their uniform wet suits.
Time to laze around on the beach or for those who still have energy swim or play. A few hours later a ripple across the water brings some of those from Bui and they swim or lounge on rocks to talk.
Food and stories
Food is cooked and shared, the islanders will happily try the voidtreckers' offerings and share their own. As the sun begins to set they gather around the fires. Stories and songs are shared and there's even some dancing for the brave.
Voidtreckers can choose whether to sleep in their own beds or spend one last night on the island before the train flies off into the sunrise and into the void.

no subject
"I'm not going to lie and say it's not your fault. By not saying anything you subjected yourself to him finding someone, which he seems to have. With worlds like this not saying something is actually a very terrible idea because you never know what will happen and then you're left upset and filled with regret. Believe me I never told someone how I felt about them before they left the last world I was in. I regret never saying anything, but it also taught me that if I ever feel something like that again no matter what, I should tell them."
He felt bad at saying that he felt like the other was in part at fault, but he figured it wasn't that bad and to try and teach something new... which was new for even him to be doing.
"I am sure that someday you'll find someone that you will be comfortable admitting your feelings to and that they will feel the same way back. But I guess always take the negative and find something positive from it. Don't let worries with not knowing to get in the way because you never know what could happen."
He soon rubbed the back of his neck slightly "I'm sorry if I come across as harsh by the way, but I can at least understand being upset."
no subject
Doesn't stop him from longing for another, though.
"Have you... told anyone that you like them? Did it work?"
Clearly, Allen must be speaking from experience, right?
He shakes his head a little.
"No, it's not harsh." Not any harsher than seeing Kaiba kiss someone else on the beach, anyway. "I'm... kind of used to this by now. The people I like, it never seems to work out."
no subject
"No. I never really got the chance. That's why I regret it so much. They left before I could."
And he felt bad he be ver got to say, but at the same time... he wasn't even sure if he could have ever said anything himself. So he knew he was being a bit of a hypocrite for saying stuff like this really, but in Allen's mind the reason he never did was different. Less people would get hurt.
"Never seems to work out?" he asked a little cit curious as to what he meant by that.
no subject
Does Allen even know? But Daia's familiar with loss, so he gets it if they're gone forever.
Daia sits on the question for a moment or two while he thinks of how to respond, and then simply answers the question with another:
"...How old do you think I am?" It's not condescending, but curious, as he knows how young he looks. Even Kuro would pick on him for being too young for adult things, despite knowing his true age.
no subject
So there was a slight difference in his answer. If it had been someone from his world he knew it would probably be vastly different in that he probably would continue to say nothing at all for reasons.
He soon paused for a moment. "I don't know honestly. You could be my age or you could be older." If he had been at home, he would guess his age, but after going to other places, it was never easy to tell anymore.
"But I'll guess my age on looks alone and I'm about I guess 17 here."
no subject
"Then I hope you get to meet them again! And I hope they like you back!"
Daia - so encouraging of others, but doesn't encourage himself.
Yep, there it is. Of course, it's to be expected - vampires are eternally youthful unless they're turned from a certain age. But Daia was born a vampire. He'll likely never look old.
A slight pause, and then:
"I'm actually closer to one hundred. I'm... kind of immortal. So that's why it doesn't usually work out."
It could if someone asked him to turn them, but... Well, he can count on zero hands the times that's happened.
no subject
"I don't think it's likely I ever will. Seeing them again would be luck more than anything."
Which was always the case for places like this for him anyway, it was rare people came who he knew who they were and vice versa.
"Yeah, I never would have guess that, but at the same time with the number of worlds... I wouldn't be surprised either."
no subject
He has... no idea how to make one, but he knows he saw them in Japan. He can try.
And Allen doesn't seem to be offended at his age. Which is a bit of a relief.
Which also brings up...
"Ah, I'm Daia! It's nice to meet you. Uhm... thank you for cheering me up." It got him out of his funk for the moment, at least. Allen doesn't even get to see his person, where Daia can still see Kaiba, even if it's from afar.
