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.

Comments

[weifinder]

Tired is a mutual shape they exist in, but tired only happens to those living, and for that, he's happy as can be.

"Glad we were able to do what we could." He smiles, expression small. "We can't be too far out from a platform. I'm thinking... picnic nap."

Calm might partly be what one invents it to be

[azrthmtrnznthos]

"I'm thinking I may go out just to greet people and then come back and kidnap a quiet cabin." Raven said, moving to take a sip from her tea. "I was one of those who poked the bear, on the mission--and the bear poked back."

[weifinder]

He chuckles, as much effort as he can spare to amusement that doesn't pass in total silence. "Chaos was, is, overwhelming. Though that might be the nature of what's the opposite of order, just... in unexpected ways."

Still, he can understand the desire to do the routine necessities and then steal quiet space. Even if for him, that's not something he often likes; too much silence leaves too much room for the intrusive thoughts.

"You sleeping okay?"

[azrthmtrnznthos]

"Not really, but from what I've been hearing, I'm not alone." Seems Chaos left its mark on everyone, not just those it tortured. "I should check medical for the sleep aids and stuff I left in there."

[weifinder]

He nods, since she's right, it has affected quite a few people. Though his look turns to one of tired interest when she mentions sleep aids. "What kind of aid are they?" A pause. "Sleep, yes, I mean... how do they work?"

[azrthmtrnznthos]

"Oh, a balm or two, an infusion and some teas. Magic." It was the simplest way she could explain right then.

[weifinder]

Magic, which to him has easily become a catch all term, merits a nod in response, however. Not much more, whatever his curiosity, due to the tiredness pervading what feels like even his bones.

"Aaah. I'll ask more, once," he waves his hand, "We're all more energetic. Sounds fascinating!"

To a man who lived with his own nightmares, why wouldn't it?

[azrthmtrnznthos]

"When I have the energy, I'll let you watch and maybe help when I make more." Raven offered. But that was definitely not going to be for a while.

[weifinder]

Neither of them had the energy to spare for now, and he gave her an easy nod of agreement. "Whenever we both do. For now, more than anything, we need to rest and recuperate."

Not things he did well with as a whole, but he had no true ability to fight against the exhaustion he was presently plagued with. Enduring was all he could do.

[azrthmtrnznthos]

"Agreed. I'll leave you to your rest, Wei Wuxian. But remind me and I will show you how I made them. There's a stock in Medical, if you want to raid it."

[weifinder]

"Rest to you, too, Miss Raven. I'll make sure to investigate in later days!"

He will, though how willing he'll be to try them will be a moment to moment consideration. Everything at least once!
