No Place Like Home: Outside
NO PLACE LIKE HOME: OUTSIDE
HOME SWEET HOME
You're somewhere familiar, or just - the last place you remember being before your life became tethered to the Voidtrecker Express. A field, a city, a kingdom, or perhaps even a space station. You should be nowhere, yet you find yourself somewhere, despite all odds.
People - if there are people - don't at first notice you; but attract enough attention to yourself, and that will all change. Friends, family - are they near, a phonecall away? It's either everything you wanted or everything you imagined (for good or worse), and it could seem unbelievably real. But it is real - you're off the train, back somewhere you know.
...If only.
You're moving away from where you arrived, for whatever reason. Who wouldn't? You may be far from home, have business elsewhere, or want to go sightseeing. It's time to return to - and live - your life, and that doesn't include sticking to one place.
But you'll find that when you reach a point, the world becomes...foggy. A fog that you hadn't seen in the distance before it appears, and when you walk through it, you'll find yourself in a place some have already found themselves in.
Because for some passengers, there was nowhere for them to return, and so the barriers lead only to fog, and then straight back onto the platform. The Voidtrecker Express may be stationed, or there may be a blanket of fog where it should be; sometimes, it can be caught trying to leave the station, only to come back a few minutes later. The doors are shut tight, and the windows are obscured, showing nothing inside.
Those who came from somewhere can go back, should they go through the turnstiles again. And if they want, they can take people along with them, too...
But sometimes, they go to a world no one knows. They go through the barriers into nothing, a black emptiness. Not space, for those that know space, and it doesn't seem to be the void either. But it is a void, devoid of anything at all. Just a darkness so complete they will not be able to see anything at all, they will only know their companion is there through touch and sound. How they are breathing, how they are living at all, is a mystery; one probably answered only by the SCA on their wrist.
Being there brings an unease deep down inside them. This place is not natural, not somewhere that they should exist in. Not a place that should exist at all. Luckily they are never there for more than a few moments before they return once more to the station, fog covering them like a safety blanket.
A DIFFERENT CORNER: LOCATIONS
In the first couple of days (whatever that means, when time doesn't match up between most places), the only way to move to another's tethered location is by them leading another there. But after that, individuals will show up in other locations when they reach close to the distance limit. Indeed as time goes on everything gets a lot less stable. They may know their five miles perfectly but still one step to another leads them back to the platform. Attempting to return to their world leads them somewhere else entirely.
And there's quite a few places to end up.

OOC NOTES
OOC post. Ask questions here.
LOCATION TOPLEVELS: Since it'll be easier for players to engage with settings presented by those offering them, when we see a toplevel for one of the above locations put up, we'll add it to the list! We've also included the OOC comments for settings to the side, so any questions can be left with the player, as well as extra details. Please always speak with the player first if you intend to do anything drastic to the setting!
A REMINDER: Time of log is Poi 22-25, but time within worlds can last up to a maximum of two weeks. Minimum is whatever you want it to be.
During Poi 22 and 23, characters will need to be led to a location to be able to access it. From Poi 24, people will show up in locations regardless of invitation.
The second half of the event will go up during 20th to 25th February (Poi 26-28). But as always, play around in here and do as you like!
If your character's setting isn't above, link us to it in the Questions post, along with your toplevel! We'll add it.

He wasn't going to hold them up for very long, but he was curious to a fault.
no subject
Senku would be beside himself, most of this world made no logical sense. It was normal for those who lived here of course but for a taika like Taiki, who spent so much time in another world he could see how some things were just stranger than strange.
"I can tell you about it later if you wish." There was a gust of wind, the robes Taiki was wearing fluttered to the ground and before Senku was a kirin beast.
"I'll have to fly us the distance to get us back to the platform."
no subject
It was a testament to how long he'd been on the train that he didn't even blink at Taiki changing his form.
"You want me to ride you?"
no subject
He bowed his head. "You can hold onto my mane. It won't be for long, just until we return to the platform."
Not long at all, considering how fast kirin could fly.
no subject
"You know, I've never ridden an animal? Not that I think you are one per se, but you know what I mean."
Senku planted his hands on Taiki's back and hauled himself up with a groan, but he didn't fall. That was something. It was a bit awkward maybe, he was a little clumsy with his mount. Notably, if Taiki had any sense of people's size, Senku was not terribly heavy. He looped his fingers into Taiki's mane and held on, but didn't pull.
"That alright? I have decent balance, I might not need to hold on when you're at altitude." It was hard to guess.
no subject
"It's okay, I sort of am an animal, even though I look human sometimes as well."
Senku was pretty light, though not as light as a kirin, more like a small human.
"That's fine, as long as you are safe."
He gave him a moment and then jumped over the small railing, for a moment he galloped, flying still but staying low, hooves trailing the water, giving Senku time to get used to things.
no subject
"Okay, if I got it wrong, don't be mad at me. Eight was so mad at me. Just tell me." He chuckled.
The jump was more of a jostle and he did teeter a little bit, before he adjusted and lowered his centre of gravity as Taiki galloped. It was admittedly very cool.
"I've traveled in a lot of vehicles, just none with animals. Also, heh, I wouldn't do this with Gen. Don't even ask, he will probably say no, unless it's an emergency or something."
Even then, he wasn't entirely sure. Over a year and Gen would not get anywhere near the balloon, just in case.
no subject
He remembers Eight though and can imagine he getting annoyed at such a thing.
"Does he dislike heights?" Or animals? Or travelling?
He hopes not the last, considering he was stuck now on the train.
no subject
"Heights." Senku confirmed with a bit of a nod. "He refuses to fly in the balloon but we've travelled in other modes of transportation. I bet he always hated to fly back in the modern world...and yet he did it, since he went to America." He was rambling a little bit.
"Huh, don't think about the modern world that much anymore."
no subject
Different than a hot air balloon or a kirin. "The modern world?"
A different world?
no subject
"My world is in a catastrophic state, which is kind of why I was happy to take a distraction."
While he would've helped Taiki either way, he did have a small personal motivation.
no subject
"You are thousands of years old?" He doesn't sound surprised really. In fact he thinks he saw that on the roster. After all here kings and safes could live for many years.
no subject
It was likely he'd spend many nights thinking, scheming and planning.
"Yeah." Senku responded. "Chronologically. I was petrified for a long time." He explained. "While I'm not in a hurry to die, I'd be satisfied with another sixty years or so." He had no desire to live forever. That sounded dreadful.
no subject
He kept flying, until the air around them turned to fog, returning them to the platform.
no subject
"Good luck." He waved a little bit and disappeared into the fog to go back to his world for the time being.
no subject
He is lucky to know such people.
