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!)

Danny peers at the light in fascination. "Oh, so that's where that dream about fire came from." He holds out one hand, and in a quick rush of cold energy creates a crystal of ice that floats above his palm. "My core is ice, so I kind of had the feeling that that wasn't mine."

He shrugs and lets the the ice crystal disperse back into the room. "I don't really know what a burnished is, but the thing that everyone kept telling me here for the first few months is that here on the train? We're an entire universe away from our problems at home. I know its hard to believe when you're used to being hunted. I still kind of expect people to freak out at me. But it is better here."

Lio can't help a brief huff of something like amusement. It would figure that he'd get caught up with someone with ice powers. Fire and ice. Why not. "Ice is what they use to fight and suppress the Burnish back home. And fires in general. Galo would appreciate that power."

But now that's curious too. "What sort of dream about fire?" Because that could be so many instances in his life.

He nods. "I've been told that before, that people seem to accept the different here. I'd like to believe that."

Danny sighs."Yeah, it took me a long time to believe it too. It still kind of seems too easy."

And sometimes he still felt really guilty about how comfortable he had started to get here. He shouldbe trying to get home, even if no one here had discovered a way yet. But... it was really nice not having to worry about hunters, or accidentally setting off some kind of anti-ghost weapon in his own house.

A wince."Ouch. Well, I can definitely promise I'm not here to suppress anything. Though if you ever do accidentally set fire to the train I could probably do something about it?"

Danny frowns a little as he thinks back. "It was really weird. It was like I was frozen, and then I was really angry. And also on fire."

[carrythetorch]

"Most fires I set are on purpose. But yeah, if it comes to it, good to know you can help out. Like I said, Galo would appreciate it. He's from my world too, but he's a firefighter, not Burnish." Big difference there, but Galo is still a stand-up guy.

Lio frowns as well at the description of the memory. "Could be a few times, but definitely mine." Frozen and on fire at the same time, he hums. "Was there a dragon?" Of course it'd be the memory where he lost all control and rampaged. Not his best look.

But he'd had good reason, though he wonders how much that counts for.

"Actually, I think there was something about turning into a dragon in there? I thought I was maybe confusing it with the dragon amulet thing back home."

[carrythetorch]

"Dragon amulet?" Lio repeats, because that certainly gets his attention. It gives him a moment to consider what it means that Danny saw that memory of his. He still has barely had time to really think about that time himself.

"What's that?"

[schrodingersghost]

"Officially its called the Amulet of Aragon," Danny tells him easily. "But I don't call it that, because Aragon is a massive jerk and the last thing he needs is anything that props up his ego. Anyone who holds it turns into a dragon if they get angry." He makes a face. "Super annoying to deal with."
