Memory Cave

[voidtreckermods]

After the passengers see a glimpse of a life that is not their own they appear in a cave. It is light, a strange moss glowing on the walls and ceiling illuminates the cave nicely and it is large enough for them to pace around in without trouble.

They are not alone. In the cave with them is another voidtrecker. Maybe someone they know well, maybe someone they have only seen in the aisles of the train. But they are together in this cave together.

The cave has no exit, at least not yet. They know that it will, eventually. When the time is right.

But for that time to come, they first must talk...

(OOC: For reference: memories!)

"So, we don't know what's causing it and we might end up seeing more." He looks away and scowls. "Another time we don't got a choice." He remarks then covers his mouth with his hand, his thoughts spinning together.

He's not the sort to connect the dots all together to whatever master plan exists. He's way better reading people and adapting to the moment. It's how he lived since that fire. He's quiet a moment more then he says, "Kray. The big man is Kray. I dunno if he'll really be trouble."

It seems like all he's going to say but he keeps going his voice quieter, matter of fact. "He has an agenda and if things get in the way of that. He deals with it." Like he dealt with him. The sting of betrayal and all the lies feels like when his arm was burning. He ignores it and gets up, walking a few steps away. "He'll probably play along, until he sees a chance to get what he wants."

"So it's not likely he'll attack people on sight, but instead we would have to be continually on guard in case he decides we don't coincide with his goals." She's.... used to that, honestly. But it's not a pleasant experience. Being constantly on guard.

Although to be fair, it was far likelier Galo would be the object of his disdain, or maybe somebody who could be in the way of his goals. The train council, maybe? Or team leaders?

Well, these thoughts were all, hopefully, theoretical.

[barenakedspirit]

He shrugs, still facing away. "Yeah. He'll just present himself as the guy that will fix everything. Try to bump people off when he's most convenient. Probably say nasty shit about Burnish and piss Lio off." Galo sighs and turns back to her, arms over his chest. He still hasn't sorted out his feelings about Kray.

Maybe he never will. Whatever respect he had left had long since dried up and fell apart. There's nothing left of that.

"What about the guys after you? If they showed up are they going to go along with things? Act like they will but actually not be?"

[deage]

Right, time to... give information. This was not Haibara's modus operandi. She didn't even share information with her longtime allies.

But having half the information might be worse, in this case.

"Bourbon... might play nice. He seemed mostly interested in currying favor within the group. But he's an unknown, so he might have his own goals." There were a lot of assumptions that she didn't want to make about Bourbon. And even if her guess was accurate, he would 100% go along with another member, should they show up.

Continuing on. "Vermouth was the one who wanted me dead. She would continue to want that. At least she doesn't tend to involve others - she'll be like a sniper rifle aimed at my head. As long as you don't get involved, everybody else will be fine. She might cause a scene in order to get me alone, though."

...And then. "If anybody else showed up, then I guarantee everybody on the train would be in danger. But especially anybody connected to me." Like Galo, now. "Sorry."

[barenakedspirit]

Galo snorts and kicks a bit of dirt away from where they're standing. "What are you apologizing to me for? They'd be making those choices and it doesn't matter who would be in danger! I'm Burning Rescue. It's my job to help! You could have counted on me for that even if we didn't have this weird connection!"

He notes the two then says, "I doubt any other Burning would cause a fuss. They just want peace. General Vulcan...dunno. He likes to swing the law around and without back up he might settle and just be an asshole. Anyway it hasn't happened so let's just focus on now. If it goes down, we'll deal."

[deage]

If it goes down, we'll deal. That's certainly one way of looking at things.

"Don't put yourself in danger for my sake. But thanks."

[barenakedspirit]

He offers her a thumbs up as the sense of the space subtly changes. He blinks and turns his head towards the oddity. A doorway has opened up silencing whatever retort he'd have made. He looks back to her and jerks his thumb towards it. "Looks like we can go now."

It feels right. The door appeared right when it felt like it should. He dusts himself off and says. "Hopefully we'll find out the cause of this before we get another one or something."

[deage]

A second door appears behind Haibara as well. That's... interesting. More like a dream than reality.

She files this away for later.

"I'll let you know if I find out anything. Hopefully there isn't a next one, though."

[barenakedspirit]

"Yeah, me too. If I find out anything I'll come straight to you." He pops his shoulder and stares at the door. "I'm gonna head out. See you around!" Galo lingers long enough to hear her answer then he steps through the doorway.

Damn, he really hopes they don't get more memories.
