Event: Healing Waters
"Good morning passengers, it is day twenty three of the month of Grasshopper. All passengers of the Voidtrecker Express require rest. Next stop Jema’grethy Island. All passengers prepare to disembark."
It is a very strange morning message that rings through the train on the morning of day twenty three but as the passengers of the Voidtrecker Express wake their screens glow with the colour of the void and a holographic screen pops up for them to read.
World #2554098133741: A world once inhabited by an ancient civilisation and now preserved as a historical site, nature reserve and well-being retreat. It is famous for its relaxing hot springs, calming atmosphere and beautiful beaches.
It is a popular void-traveller destination, particularly among void missionaries as a place to rest and recuperate after difficult missions.
The Voidtrecker Express will spend three days here, arriving today and leaving on day twenty six of the month of Grasshopper. The dressing carriage is open for your convenience.
It is time for a holiday it seems!
Preparation
For those who go to explore the dressing carriage they will find a variety of beachwear and wetsuits. One cupboard has a pile of tents and groundsheets in all four team colours.
One cabinet is exclusively filled with beach towels, in a kaleidoscope of colours, designs and patterns. Another is filled with different shapes and sizes of plain towel dressing gowns. There is even a cabinet with buckets, spades and small rock-pooling nets.
It seems they are in for quite an adventure.
Arrival
"Shortly arriving on World #2554098133741. Exit from void in ten, nine, eight, seven, six, five, four, three, two, one."
The train lurches and rattles as it leaves the void they will get a glimpse of silver-purple sky and a beautiful ocean below.
However some passengers might be a little more than distracted, one staring at that table for a second too long, another seeming lost in thought for a couple of seconds, a longer than normal pause in a sentence. They see a vision, a glimpse of a life that is not their own. Not all at once, but here and there as the train descends to the island.
But then it is gone and things are back to normal. Just in time, as they come to land.
Jema’grethy Island
The train has landed on a grassy ridge, overlooking a beautiful beach of white sand and the ocean beyond. It is warm, but not too hot, a cool ocean breeze cutting through the heat making it pleasant. Behind them is a grassy plain, changing to forest in the distance. There is the sound of birdsong in the purple sky. To the west the land is more craggy, the silhouette of a fortress in the distance. In a word, it is idylic. A sense of peace permeates the island.
A little more worrying is the volcano-like structure in the north. But even a quick glance will show it is not a typical volcano. There is no smoke and the liquid slowly running down it in rivulets is pink and blue.
Exploring the passengers will find beautiful beaches, ragged cliffs to walk and caves to explore. Where it is more craggy the beaches are made of pebbles- perfect for rock pooling.
The place has no people, but it is clearly maintained. The eastern beaches have racks of shallow boats, both canoes and one- or two-person sailing dinghies. There is also a small building in which scuba gear is stored, along with several waterproofed manuals and instructional literature.
Ruins of ancient houses are scattered across the island, but the main settlement is built into a rocky section in the north-west that has been secured with ropes and stairways cut into the cliffs, perfect for scrambles and hikes.
There are no living quarters, but there are sheltered sections with basic toilet facilities marked as camping grounds in five different sections of the island - by the hot springs, within the ruined fortress, beside the harbour, on the eastern beaches, and on the northern face of the mountain.
Hot Springs
To the west are the hot springs. They have both outdoor and indoor areas; the indoor areas being wooden loghouse saunas, changing rooms and storage sheds, whilst the outdoor areas are a tiered series of pools spilling down the side of the mountain and shaded by brightly flowering trees. The waters are hot, mineral-rich and soothing.
Perfect for overly stressed, world weary Void heroes...
(OOC: More setting information is here, please feel free to go wild with the setting and have a fun and relaxing time. You can use this post as a catch all for your holiday or make your own posts onmiddleofsomewhere. More information about how the memory event is structured is here!)

He hopes. There better not be people who buy friends. He thinks that would be a very bad thing to do!
"So that's good! And we didn't need to buy this ocean, we can enjoy it just like the fishes!"
Because fish clearly didn't pay to go to the ocean, it was where they lived!
no subject
Don't worry, Romeo, if this capitalist society threatens to crush you, Madoka will somehow crush it first for you!!
"Yes! When you really think about it, we're practically getting a vacation for free here! Usually a trip to a place like this would be so expensive.. But the train is giving it to us for free! That's pretty amazing, isn't it?"
(In return for captivity and half-forced labour, but.. ssh.. let's not think about that part.)
no subject
He really has no idea how much things cost at all. He knows people offered five yen for prayers, ice cream in Hawaii costs 1 dollar fifty, snacks in Japan cost around 500 yen and in a far off Italy children could be bought for eighty five lira. But how that all fits together and what it actually means in any real sense is beyond him.
But if Madoka says it is expensive it must be! And they got to come here for free! "We are really lucky! We get to see so many places and even get to come to a place like this! It's so beautiful here!"
no subject
"But.. hmm, it really would be expensive. Even though it's not like my family is poor back home, I'm still not sure if we would ever be able to pay for a vacation to a place like this, especially if it was outside of Japan.. I kind of wish mama and papa could have been here to see this."
no subject
"You should write it in your journal! And we could draw pictures. That way one day we might be able to show them, all the places you've been and the beautiful things you have seen!"
no subject
Madoka so does not feel like dragging down Romeo's mood any further though, so of course she's not going to mention the fact she may not ever see much of anyone anymore once she gets home. So instead she smiles thinly.
"That sounds like a good idea, Romeo." Nothing to see here, nope siree! "Do you maybe want to draw together once we're back on the train?"
no subject
"Yes! When we get back we can draw lots of pictures of our holiday!"
should we wrap it here?
"Right..!" It's time to enjoy this vacation, not to think about sad things! "Then let's enjoy swimming as much as we can right now, and then enjoy drawing later!"
Yep! Wrap!
And then they could draw them later!
