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.
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.
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.

To make a whole different future. A gift but also a burden, a huge task, to know the price of failure and try and prevent such a tragedy from ever happening.
To give up their own world to save... an alternate future. Inigo is so brave. Taiki shifted slightly so he could hug him, from this awkward angle.
"It's hard to even imagine, changing the present, by changing the past, creating a different future."
But wasn't that what the train said they sometimes did. It was different though, they had never lived in that future, not like Inigo had in his own. "I hope your sister and your friends succeed."
Such bravery as that, he hoped they could make a world that would not be lost.
no subject
Inigo makes sure to move up a little, just to try and lean into the hug and at the same time make their positions a little easier on Taiki. He doesn't want his friend to go breaking his back just to try and give Inigo a hug.
"But.. I know they will." Even if he's not there. He's really not an important piece of that puzzle and he knows it. "Especially as long as my sister is there. Lucina.. She's really amazing."
A fond smile appears on his face as he speaks of her, even though his eyes are still closed. It's like he's imagining her right now.
"She's a lot like lord Gyousou. The type you look at and realise is just destined to rule. Someone who's so capable."
no subject
Inigo was so brave and strong, his mother was that way too so he can easily imagine his sister being just as amazing.
"Sometimes people are just made to lead others.
no subject
He doesn't mentiong it out loud though, instead letting out a slight hum as he smiles.
"Right? Naga chose her too. We have this mystical sword in our family.. It's called Falchion. Only those who are chosen as worthy by Naga can wield it, so not even everyone in the royal family can. But both my father and Lucina can use it."
no subject
To be chosen by a god it must be so, it sounded like Inigo came from an amazing family with a mother and a sister so strong. "Is it just you and your sister? I mean... Do you have other brothers or sisters?"
no subject
Imagining another sibling is kind of a weird idea to Inigo. After all, he and his sister had always been so close.. would it have been different if he hadn't been the baby of the family? Would it have been different if Lucina hadn't been the oldest? He can't even imagine.
"But we do have a cousin. Owain. He grew up in the palace as well, so the three of us were almost as close as siblings."
no subject
"Did Owain go with you? When you went to the past?"
no subject
.. a loser Inigo suddenly really misses, that is.
"Yeah."
Owain was one of their group who also immediately agreed with the idea, Inigo remembers. Just like him.
"He really wants to be a hero, more than anything else. So of course it immediately sounded like some heroic quest to him."
no subject
His sister, his cousin even his parents. Inigo came from a brave place. Perhaps because they were the rulers, they had to be strong, to help their people.
And Inigo must miss them an awful lot. Taiki continued stroking his hair soothingly, smiling sadly down at him.
no subject
Okay, that's not entirely true. Inigo does think his cousin is an incredibly brave guy, perhaps even braver than Inigo himself is. But he can't say that out loud so directly, not even with Owain not even being close to being present here.
"But he's a good guy when it comes down to it. I'm sure he would have been super happy to meet you, had he been here."
no subject
Much like Inigo himself did. He was sure of it.
But at the same time, he was glad that not more of Inigo's family had been dragged from their world, seeing as his world was in such a state and they were the ones who needed to fix it.
