The Endless River

On the morning of day twenty one of the month of Kazoo there is a message on the ICP screens around the train. Their SCA's will light up the colour of the Void and show the following information.

World #398050 is a void nexus known locally as Tshering. As a void nexus this world has strong links with the void and the connection through worlds. World #398050 is home to the Endless River. Legends speak of this river being powerful enough to send thoughts from one heart to another across any distance. All that is needed is for you to know who it is you wish to reach.


On-board

The dressing carriage is open, filled with clothing best suited to a pleasant spring day. Light, airy and in a rainbow of joyful colours and florals. One closet is entirely filled with wide-brimmed hats bedecked with ribbons, feathers and ornaments. A stack of picnic baskets and containers filled with an alarming variety of passenger-suitable foodstuffs and flasked drinks sits in one corner, next to rolls of thick, weatherproof blankets in the four team colours.

The large box marked Do Not Use Yet, filled with small, empty jute bags, is hopefully still sat in the Luggage carriage, ready for passengers to grab handfuls of its contents as directed by the announcement.

Upon landing (after an appropriate countdown), the train remains on the surface, its carriages partially curved to form a gathering site for the day. Welcome to Tshering, the eighth void nexus!



A Day for Picnics

Tshering, system #398050, is a strange place, only habitable by grace of the passengers' SCAs. The sky is shot through with colours, a cascade of sunsets, and through it, the void shimmering through it in seams like a child's painting of the milky way. Still, there's a beauty to the chaotic mash of colours that soaks through its landscape, and in the shelter of the forests of towering funghi that dot its surface, the Void can go unseen by its visitors.

The temperature seems mild, suitable for the provided clothing, and if there are weather patterns around the world they've taken the day off. The funghi are sturdy enough that what air flow there is doesn't disturb their stalks, and carved grooves and holds in some of the larger examples indicate that climbing them to sit atop their glowing crowns is eminently possible, and, in fact, encouraged.

the Endless River

The Endless River is a font of pure chaos, flowing from a multitude of small rivulets across the area to a central reservoir, from which it pours directly upwards, away from Tshering's surface and out of sight, beyond the world's atmosphere.

Anything bagged and placed within the Endless River will also flow upwards and soon be out of sight, passing, presumably, into the Void. Scattered across the surface of Tshering are small, glittering pebbles, as described in the announcement.

The stones are pleasantly cool to the touch, and all passengers need to do is feel. Messages can be in any form that the Voidtreckers wish. Perhaps words, perhaps feelings, perhaps an image from their mind into the stone. Perhaps a mixture. Once they begin their message the stone will glow slightly and continue to glow as they secure it in the bag and cast it into the river. They will feel, almost instinctively, that they need to focus as they do so, thinking of the person they wish to reach all the while.

There are plenty of bags and many more stones; passengers will not be limited in their sendings.

[ She got lucky due to his lack of webbing. Next time she won't be so lucky. Probably. But he's not here to trash talk. ]

[ if possible, his face gets a little redder. Look, he's all for letting people dress how they want but this is making him extremely uncomfortable and he's looking... anywhere but at her. ]


I wouldn't say that-I just uh... you um-You're-I'm-uh... [ One of these days he'll come up with something coherent. ] C-can we just keep it rated PG? Please?

[ Rated...what? But the entire rest of him fills in for her lack of cinematic trivia knowledge. ]

Well, since you asked nicely......

[ Standing back up, then; a King is benevolent when it suits their fancy (and no other times). Shifting her hoodie so that not too much shows.

The abs, however, are non-negotiable. ]

that's-thank you.

[ He'll take it. He lets out a breath he hadn't realised he was holding and lets his his heart rate return to normal. ]

S-sorry, I just-there's kids on board and... stuff.

You're always a busybody, huh?

[ And about weird stuff, but whatever. Where she's from, the kids go around wearing NOTHING AT ALL! ]

Keeping the train safe.

[ .....is it her imagination or is lele floating closer now

stupid bird ]
hashtagparkerluck: (sounds fake but okay)

[personal profile] hashtagparkerluck 2021-04-16 06:21 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, always.

[ Peter states matter-of-factly. ]

It's kinda in the main part of the superhero gig.

[ Bakura chuckles derisively. ] Thanks for your concern.

[ Now, let's see. What else in here might be of use.....?

She squats to root around in the accessories provided, looking for any large bags. Not that she expects she's going to be stealing anything! BUT SHE MIGHT.

She's also completely showing her back to Peter, which shows just how impressed with his superheroics she is. ]

[ Peter watches her suspiciously but he isn't trying to start a fight. The last things he wants is to get wrecked again and end up missing the break because he was stupid and ended up in medical again. Still, if she tries anything he's definitely gonna react, luckily she doesn't actually seem that interested in him. ]

Well, if you need anything-that doesn't involve murder-I'm usually around somewhere."

[ Bakura raises a hand. She's not trying to be rude -

oh who is she kidding she is totally trying to be rude. She is SUCCEEDING at being rude, amply! ]


Good to know.

[ SHE IS THE RUDEST AND NO ONE CAN STOP HER certainly not this kid who definitely deserves a chance to kick her ass later it will be extremely cathartic, sorry bakura, you're an asshole does not possibly matter in the slightest! ]
