The Endless River

[voidtreckermods]

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.

"And you are certain that you are both from the same world?" Because it bothers him that he can't be sure with the people from his own. He wants to believe that they are but Wei Ying had placed that little seed of doubt in him.

Which prompts him to do that stone neck. He hesitates as he looks at it, not wanting too much that has always been left unsaid to somehow make it into the stone. that would only complicate things and if Lan Wangji isn't there to try and explain them...or if the one that is here gets it after all...it would make things difficult.

He closes his eyes and tries to keep his thoughts simple and sincere. Telling the Wei Ying of his world that he is fine and will return in time. It is hard to keep certain things in check but he does what he can before finishing and placing that stone in the water as well.

Perhaps they should have heart to heart talks more, but then again Lan Wangji himself isn't a good conversationalist. It's a wonder why he's lucky that Wei Ying loves him.

"Hm? You mean Wei Ying and I? We talk everyday and compare memories. Wei Ying sometimes ask to be certain that he isn't loosing any. That's how we're sure of each other."

Once the stones drifts off down the stream into the eternity of the multiverse. "I'm going to the picnic. We can share tea if you like." To show his company is appreciated.

[weisexual]

He has a few other stones that he should send now that he is considering it. Since he doesn't now how much time they have to do so, he figures he should make sure and complete this task before moving on.

"I have a few others I need to send." He has to make sure that everything will be taken care of. But he turns and circles his arms to bow to the other version of himself in thanks for the advice and the offer of tea.

"Perhaps at a later time."

[azurebichen]

Lan Wangji cups his hands and makes a bow back. The man needs more time for himself to think and meditate.

With an understanding nod, "Perhaps later." The picnic area can be easily found where everyone is gathered in groups, so it won't be hard to find his way back.
