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.

She shakes her head.

"It's okay! If you and the others are still tired by the time we arrive at a platform.. I'll just work extra hard to greet the new people!" That way the tired people don't have to move around as much, or engage in conversations they just don't have the energy for. It's not like Madoka isn't out there greeting people usually anyway.

"We'll figure out a way to deal with it somehow.. We always do."

"You're too good, Madoka. I don't know how you do it." Raven offered the other a tired smile. "Thank you."

[happyends]

"O-oh, no, you're just as good!"

Madoka is quick to answer with that. There's a faint blush on her cheeks, and she quickly shakes her head. She won't deny the compliment, at least, since she's working on being better about that.. But she doesn't think she's better than Raven.

"After all, you were trying to help people back there, even though you were really tired and probably really hurt.. That's super amazing too."

[azrthmtrnznthos]

Raven laughed tiredly. Not meanly either, as she was smiling too. "Madoka, just accept the compliment. You're more amazing than you realize."

[happyends]

...

Oh. Now that's a callout.

It doesn't make Madoka's smile drop entirely, but it does get awkward, even alongside the fluster in it that was already present.

"I'm trying.." She softly says. "I-I mean, it's not like I'm saying I'm not.. um.." Gosh, 'amazing' is a little too hard to say out loud, okay. She just can't bring herself to. She'll choke right on the words. "I'm just.. saying that the same goes for you too!"

[azrthmtrnznthos]

Raven was patient while Madoka collected herself, and smiled when the other girl was done. "Thank you. And thank you again for your help too, Madoka."

[happyends]

"It's no problem at all."

Helping Raven out, that is. It's only natural to come to a friend when they need some help, after all.

"I'll go now, so.. um, so you can get some more rest. But if you need me, just send out a message.. I'm mostly in the kitchen today, so if you send one to the kitchen ICP, I should probably hear it."

[azrthmtrnznthos]

"Just try to not work yourself too hard too, alright Madoka?" Raven said, reaching out to her friend's shoulder. "Thank you. Again."

[happyends]

Please, Raven. As if Madoka could ever stop helping people, even when she's working a little too hard.

It seems like she's doing fine enough for now though, since the girl doesn't seem too tired as she smiles at the other.

"No worries! Please rest well.."

And with that Madoka moves to leave the room - leaving Raven to enjoy her peace and quiet again.
