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.

This is an endless loop.

Clearly these two need someone else to be present at all times. Someone who can sort out who they should think of first here, rather than just going back and forth in this loop of only thinking about the other rather than about themselves.

In fact, Madoka's initial reaction is even an: "I asked first!"

Though it doesn't sound insistent. Since it's Madoka, and she hardly ever is. Instead it just sounds like she's seeing the humor of the situation.

"Well, I guess we should have something filling.. And maybe something nice and hot? We could make some soup.." Especially since it's simple, and they've exhausted themselves enough already while working on the mission.

They could spend hours on this conversation. Imagine if they were in a restaurant with a huge menu like a Cheesecake Factory or something. Please, any adults, come make these kids be decisive.

Ple Two just laughs softly at Madoka's insistence, though. "You did, you did..." But Madoka still comes up with an idea, so that's a win!

"Soup sounds... nourishing." Depending on what they've got hanging around.

"Hmm, and we can just find something to throw in there!"

She doesn't mean it in the awful 'let's put something into soup which definitely does not belong in soup kind of way either. Madoka actually does know a thing or two about cooking. She's just saying they can improvise with whatever ingredients they can find!

.. Maybe not avocado though. She's not too sure about avocado soup just yet..

Madoka squeezes the other girl's hand.

"It'll be yummy."

"Just anything, huh?" She laughs softly. "Let's find vegetables and a carbohydrate at least." Rice or noodles or potatoes or... something like that.

No avocados. Not in soup. They could just chop them up on the side and it'll be fine.

"We'll make it work out."

"That's the fun of it!" Madoka can't help but remark. Though she does agree with Ple Two, really - they should at least put some nutricious stuff in there. And a good balance of ingredients.

"It's all about the surprise of what you'll find. Especially here on the train, right?"

Since they're kind of at the mercy of whatever the train decides to give them during any given month. And the kindness of some other passengers in sharing food they've bought or gathered.

"I wonder how surprising we can make it and still have it come out good..." She shrugs. "But we won't know until we try."

And see what the main ingredient is next time. Hopefully it's something versatile.
