So Familiar a Gleam: Conclusion

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.

The yelp catches Essek's attention, makes him immediately aware he's not alone, but his head is still fuzzy, his vision unfocused. His hearing is dominated by the sound of his heartbeat pounding as it resonates through him.

"I-.." he squeezes his eyes shut as he tries to focus, feeling his mind start to shut out things, turn off parts of itself. He can feel pain in his body, but after everything, he's unaware that it's real pain and ignores it. "I'm okay, I... we evacuated, everyone to one car, I-" it was too much.

"Evacuated? From - from the world?" Martin gently, gently moves to place his hands on Essek's shoulders. "What happened?"
essek: (Unsure)

Essek doesn't expect the touch and can do little to mask his flinch, though he does his best to not outright pull away from Martin, so much as try to subtly extract himself. Moving as if adjusting his position to better face the other man instead.

"Yes, it-- the creature, godling, it trapped us in an illusion... but once it began to break," he takes a deep breath, trying to piece together how things ended. "We had to leave rapidly or be lost to the void... everyone ended up in the luggage car."

Sorry, Essex. Noticing that, Martin tries to gentle his touch at least? Maybe more of a hover hand now.

His eyes go wide at that, horrified. “Illusion? What - what kind?”

The hovering of his hand seems fine, though Essek is at least vaguely aware of it's proximity. Luckily, his heart is starting to settle, his mind separating more from the distress and pushing it back.

"It made us forget everything..." he tries to recount what he can without falling into anything unpleasant. Up until everything gets hazy for him, "It implanted us with others it kidnapped, made us part of that world... I-- Some broke from the illusion faster than others."
