The Will to Fight: Conclusion

The battles rage loud and ferocious at the gates of the city and off in the ruined wastelands of Erda, and on the walls a struggle of a different kind occurs. The team who stayed behind at the towers are small but determined as they move stoically across the walls to right the stones that have become misaligned, even as their friends battle not too far away.

The city begins to hum. It's a quiet hum, not loud enough to be heard out where the others are fighting but it vibrates even through stone. The recovering monks assure them that it is done, the wards are back up and no demon will be able to enter the city.

Eventually the battle is won, all three battles. The demons fought back and killed, a major blow to their gate system that will keep them back for hopefully a long time. Those waiting in the caverns return to the city and by the time they get there the illusions are gone. Everyone can see the world for what it really is.

But despite the ruins of their world the people are relieved, the adrenaline of the fight coursing through their veins and the mood is one of hope. They will build again, their people will survive.

All Voidtreckers please return to the Voidtrecker Express. Departure will be in a few hours

It has landed not too far from the city, cloaked to make it unnoticeable to the citizens, for all the good that does. No one has been particularly subtle this last week. People can begin regrouping, packing up the camp and getting any wounded not already healed to the train.

However roughly half an hour later another message appears on their SCA.

Passenger Persephone has requested we remain on system System #86525656412355 for an additional day to further assist the people of Erda. The Voidtrecker Express will depart on the morning of Day Fifteen of the month of Kazoo.

The train remains where it is, so the voidtreckers can use its facilities. There is definitely a lot that can be done to assist those of this world and the citizens will welcome any helping hands.

After an extra day they finally depart, returning to the void once more.

(OOC Note: Once the wards are up any characters who are demonic in nature will not be able to enter the city either!)

[ MAGICAL GIRL MANGA... A LITTLE PROBLEMATIC...

But not problematic enough for Madoka to immediately throw away the thought. Sure, she got awkward watching Magical Detective Heartlines before because of her own experiences, but that doesn't mean she's about to ruin Romeo's experience! So she nods. ]


That's a great idea, Tidus! Do you think the train would give me multiple parts of it if I asked for those..? [ Since she doesn't want Romeo to have to end on a cliffhanger until he or someone else can purchase the next part!! ]

Sure! I got Romeo a pile of books ordering them through the small item option. [ Sure, the second lot gave him three books, buuut- the comics did seem three books long... ]

Hey, but don't forget to treat yourself too next train stop. [ Did he need to bring that up? Maybe he just feels like it, flashing her a fun smile. ] You got anything you wanna buy? How about a friend for that little guy Alfredo gave you?
happyends: (that has been plucked)

[ For a moment she stares him in surprise, because-- well, Tidus just knows everything, doesn't he. Not that Madoka has been particularly subtle about the plush or anything.. ]

A-- Ah, actually, he already has a friend! I still have the teddy bear Ignis and Tony got me a long time ago.. [ Not.. that Madoka is complaining about the idea of more plushies, really.

Which is why she's pausing for a moment here, like she is thinking about it now Tidus has brought it up. ]


.. I mean, if I get more, I'm not going to able to fit into the bed anymore at some point..

[ Yes, Tidus is a genius (who happened to meet Alfredo with the plush when he get it for her...)!

But he laughs, a short note of a scoff. ]


I don't know, how big are they? My friend's got this giant thing with wings that's always poking off his bed. [ Seriously Inigo, he's always waking up and seeing a wing just hovering above his head...! ] But he makes it work. You can get a few more friends to join the ride!

...And a fluffy lil' toy friend's probably better than the real one we wanted to steal from that kingdom.

[ Sigh. Miss you, snow pup. :( ]

[ Them deciding to not take along snow pup is where everything started to go downhill, truly. ]

.. He was really cute though.. [ Madoka clearly has not forgotten snow pup. ] But it's true that he probably would have had a hard time on the train, especially with all the missions we go on..

[ But she misses him. Hope you're doing okay out there, good boy.. ]

Do you.. think they maybe would have plushies that look like him?

[ Because that might just tempt her. ]
blitzcheer: (very gud thinker)

[personal profile] blitzcheer 2021-04-05 10:18 am (UTC)(link)
[ What a big question to put on him, Madoka...! ]

They might... [ said, after a difficult pause. ] But you'd have to really describe what he looked like. Can you?

[ Hmmm.... ]

He was really fluffy, and... he had a black nose, eyes...

[ Is he trying to think of how one would describe their lost pup friend?? Tidus is very creative with words, here... ]
happyends: (i can hold on tight to nothing)

[personal profile] happyends 2021-04-05 09:22 pm (UTC)(link)
He was this big!

[ She's holding her hands apart to indicate the size.

.. Perhaps not quite realising that Tidus is talking about how she'd have to describe it to the train, and using visual descriptors like those may not be exactly the handiest idea...

But still, the girl looks so proud that she remembered! ]
