Conclusion

[voidtreckermods]

Thank you.

For those inside the system the voices of the Great-Seasons ring out around them once the red mass has vanished and the blue plinth it was smothering is freed once more. They don't have all that much time to reflect on that before they find themselves waking up once more in their bodies around the tree trunks.

Or at least, around the tube that is the Great-Season they entered through. All illusions have vanished now, all that is left are pipes and metal.

The Great-Seasons allow them passage out from the centre, no sentries or pipes attack them this time. Everything seems to have been put to rights, the walls in the Autumn sector have stopped moving, there is no strange weather effects in the Summer Sector, no engineering problems in Winter and all the camaloid creatures in Spring are calm. Any Helpmates they come across are doing their jobs and no longer malfunctioning.

After a small amount of time, enough to check that all is well, their SCA's light up. All Passengers are to return to the Voidtrecker Express.

Considering the vast distances involved it is probably best that they use the evacuation function to return to the Luggage carriage.

Once all Voidtreckers have returned the train returns to the Void once more.

"Yes, of course. If you're not careful, you end up dead and I don't want to die before I can go back and see Miharu again." Yoite explained, tilting his head, as though there was no problem with that logic at all.

Raven blinked, a bit surprised by the answer. "Not that it should encourage you to take risks, but you know that as long as you're wearing your SCA, you come back right? While a passenger of this train?"

[comefadeaway]

He tilted his head slightly. "You do?" Yoite had no idea, actually. He didn't know how that worked, but he wasn't in any hurry to die.

[azrthmtrnznthos]

"You do. It's also what allows us all to communicate, and understand each other and the people on the worlds we're visiting."

[comefadeaway]

"O-Oh. I never thought about it. I thought everyone just talked the same language." Yoite blinked, and then felt a little embarrassed he hadn't noticed.

[azrthmtrnznthos]

"It's okay. There's a lot to deal with, in this kind of situation." Raven reassured, despite her deadpan tone. "I wanted to see how you've been doing, besides on the mission."

[comefadeaway]

"Alright, I think." Yoite responded, as though he wasn't entirely sure how to answer that, partly because he wasn't sure.

"I learned to make a paper crane."

[azrthmtrnznthos]

"Did you enjoy it?" Raven asked, knowing she had to take things slowly with Yoite. She thought she hadn't had a normal life, but what she'd gleaned of his made hers look almost normal.

[comefadeaway]

Yoite smiled slightly and nodded. "Yes. It was nice...and it worked the first time."

[azrthmtrnznthos]

"Then you should ask who taught you, to teach you more. Find some hobbies you enjoy." Raven encouraged, before she added softly. "I knit, for example. I also read a lot, but that doesn't exactly keep your hands busy if that's what you're after."

[comefadeaway]

"Oh." He said, brightening a bit. "I know what knitting is. I saw someone do it. She made the scarf Miharu gave me."

Yoite didn't think it was a bad idea to learn more origami, it might be really interesting.

[azrthmtrnznthos]

Raven blinked, and looked slightly shy, eyes going to the side. "I'm...making a blanket. As thanks, for one of the passengers." Another pause, and then she looked at Yoite again. "Do...you want to learn?"

[comefadeaway]

"I..." He paused a moment and then nodded. "I'd like to learn if that's okay."

[azrthmtrnznthos]

"It's probably too late to order you some basics for this platform, but we can see how many points you have, and get you a kit for the next station." Raven said encouragingly, if still a little shy. "In the meantime, if you want to watch while I'm working on the blanket, you can. It's not a hard skill to learn, really. At least not the basics."

[comefadeaway]

"Okay." He nodded a little bit. "That sounds good. I'll watch." He was good at that, sometimes, just sitting quietly and observing.

[azrthmtrnznthos]

"I haven't started it yet, so I can at least tell you the basics about yarn and knitting needles, and show you how to start things."
