So Familiar a Gleam: Conclusion

[voidtreckermods]

Time to leave!

There is not much of the city left, but the park is holding together as those anchoring help those who are not voidtreckers through back to where they belong. Monsters continue to attack and a little further out there is a battle of hearts and minds being fought with the mass of colours and chaos.

Eventually, after the bulk of citizens had been evacuated everyone with SCA's on would hear Jin-Roh's voice after a few frantic beeps, as Chiff aligned everyone's SCA's. "We are almost done here, if you are with anyone not tethered to a voidcraft get them to the evacuation point, as quickly as possible."

Anan pulls out of the anchoring point to call out to any defenders in the park. "Come on! Anyone who isn't a voidtrecker! It's time to go."

Luckily those off fighting the entity headed the message and made their way to the park as Jin Roh spoke again.

"Everyone else get ready. When we call it you need to leave. If you don't have your SCA on then get to someone who does."

As the last people rushed to the park Anan calls out again, through her SCA and outloud to the park. "You need to unanchor, before you can evacuate. Everyone be ready."

She goes in again though, because there are some last people, those from the large battle, getting through as another message was called.

"Almost there. Be ready. On my command..."

Anan unanchored again. "Quick everyone unanchor."

"NOW" Jin Roh's voice came through strong on their SCA's. Hopefully those with SCA's would grab those without.

There is some outside help as well, the train pulls anyone who is unconscious or still under the entity's control, forcibly evacuating them. This includes Wei Wuxian, Lan Wangji and Zagreus.

Luggage Carriage

There has been a mass evacuation before and that was crazy enough but since then the population of the train has almost doubled and now it is an extremely tight squeeze as everyone crashes into the luggage carriage at the same time.

The train jerks and rolls as they enter into the void at breakneck speed and again as they seem to slow, rather than speeding off though the void.

There's a crackling from their SCA's. "Voidtreckers? Voidtreckers come in!" Anan's voice. "Please tell me you made it..."

There's only a few moments of signal and soon they are flying though the void again, away from the strange non-world, the entity sealed for now. To new adventures, but first hopefully some time to recover from all that has happened.

I. Time To Go

When the call came to leave, this was probably the first time he's had to emergency evacuate.

Perhaps there was someone nearby looking for a Voidtrecker with an SCA.

He raised his hand with the orange SCA. "Come on, come with me, quick!" He held out his free hand.

II. On the Train

This was such a tight fit.

Demyx could barely breathe with everyone around him and he found himself wishing he could disappear like he'd been doing in that world.

Suddenly, there was nothing there.

He could only hold it for a few moments though before he popped back into existance. He looked down at his hands in awe. "...Cool."

III. Downtime

Demyx would actually see if he could grab the cinema to watch another musical. If he couldn't manage that, he would go to the spa, ready to soak away any tension in his muscles.

Strangely enough, he was going to give the music room a pass and turn into his room early for bed.

IV. Wildcard

[ Anywhere else you'd like Demyx? Oddly, not the music room today. ]

Cinema

[hotheadwarmheart]

As it happened, when Demyx arrived in the cinema car, he'd find a familiar redhead there scrolling through the various offerings with the air of someone who wanted to watch something but wasn't sure what. He looked up as Demyx approached. "Oh hey," he said. "Looking to watch another musical?"

[melodiouspacifist]

"Yeah, you up for it?" Demyx asked. "If not, I'll go take a soak or something." He was really feeling like vegging out.

[hotheadwarmheart]

"Sure," Lea said. "I couldn't really decide on anything, so a musical works. Should maybe go for something a bit lighter this time though, with less death and drama."

[melodiouspacifist]

"What? I liked the drama one." He laughed a little bit and started poking around.

"Okay, but I don't know what any of these are, I just kinda pick at random."

[hotheadwarmheart]

"I did too," Lea said. "But I think we've all had enough drama in our lives recently without adding more, you know?"

He watched as Demyx scrolled through the various selections. "How about this one? It's got 'music' right in the title and everything."

[melodiouspacifist]

He thought about it for a moment and he nodded.

"Yeah, I mean, can't go wrong with something with music in the title." He said, selecting it as he went to grab a seat. At least, this was the kind of thing Demyx could get excited for.

[hotheadwarmheart]

Lea took a seat too and sat back to watch the movie. It proved to be a good bit more lighthearted than the others they'd watched, the story of a musical con man who stirred up the town he was attempting to work over. Except that he ended up getting worked over himself in a way, falling in love and eventually going straight.

"That was a fun one," he said as the credits rolled. "Though I think I'm gonna have that '76 Trombones' song in my head for awhile."
