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.

[ Apparently Inigo put quite some force into that strike, since the boy is breathing a little harder than a moment ago, now lowering the sword to hold it by his side. ]
Even if it's unscathed, it's got to at least have felt that! Wouldn't it know that we're out here?
no subject
[He wouldn't put it past it! Or being broken on the inside somehow, but he doesn't exactly know enough of anything to bother voicing that possibility aloud.
Shen Jiu lowers his sword as well, as he gazes off at the train.] Have you tried jumping on it as it passes?
no subject
Then he glances back at the train - or more noticably, up at the top of the train. Or does the other mean on the back of the train? .. well, even that idea.. ]
Could you do that?
[ Jiu is the one who displayed pretty wild powers just now. Inigo can't do anything that special, but maybe he has some sort of special train jumping powers. Who knows. ]
.. you know, without getting massively injured, that is.
no subject
Do you see any other option? Perhaps you'd like to jump in front of the thing and see if it knows to stop?
[Jiu himself shows no intention of jumping anywhere at all, thanks.]
no subject
[ Inigo's jaw drops. ]
Hey, come on! [ Bro, they're both stuck in this crappy situation, no need to take it out on him! ] I was just wondering if you had some sort of special power for that! I'm not sure if you noticed what you did only a few moments ago, but that sure isn't normal where I come from!
[ In other words: it's something Inigo couldn't even dream of doing. So of course he might be wondering if Jiu happens to have a few other special powers. ]
no subject
[Joking! Not that you can tell with that poker face of his. Anyway, he turns slightly, to sweep his gaze back over the rest of the station again.]
Is there really no way out of here? There surely must be something.
no subject
Thankfully Inigo is distracted from that thought before he can react to it by the other thing that he says. He glances over, his eyes a little wider. ]
What do you mean? Can't you just walk back to your world? [ That's how he assumes the other ended up here in the first place, after all. The same way Inigo did - by walking in his world for long enough to just arrive here on the platform. ]
no subject
And spend the rest of my life in the small, limited area this platform is apparently connected to? Yes, what an absolutely wonderful idea.
no subject
No, I was just.. worried. You made it seem like you had nowhere else to go back to at all.
[ And apparently - who would've thought! - there are people out there who worry about other people, even when they are basically complete strangers. Inigo seems pretty genuine about what he's saying here, after all, if his current facial expression is anything to go by. ]
.. yeah, I agree with that though. [ Now that worry has been fended off, it's time to focus on the main problem here. ] Either we or the people inside of the train have to make it realise that it's got to stop and pick us back up. I know the people on the train must have realised too that more people left than intended.
[ Since they were cruelly shoved out by the train. ]
no subject
Also he kinda doesn't have anywhere to go back to if leaving the piece of "home" he got just brings him back here again, but like heck is he gonna admit that. Instead, he turns his head to look in the direction the train should be reappearing from, watching for its return.]
Do you know of any other ways to catch the train's attention? If not, I suppose we'll have to wait for those inside to get to it...or try leaving the station again, I suppose.
[He doesn't sound enthused by that last option, but he also looks kind of on-edge all around.]
no subject
[ Inigo is basically sighing out those words instead of just saying them - that's how much he hates to admit it. After all, he's already been standing around on the platform trying stuff for quite some time now, but it sure doesn't seem like anything he's doing is making an impact..
And while waiting for the people inside to do something first sure is an option, he doesn't like the idea of just leaving it up to other people like that without doing his own part. ]
My plan was to mostly wait around and see who else shows up on the platform. Maybe someone has got some sort of power that can end up getting the train's attention.
[ What else are they supposed to do? ]
no subject
The apparent teenager stands there silently for a moment - looks around at the (currently) empty platform - watches as the train runs by another time....aaaand flounces.]
If our only options are waiting uselessly or exploring dead ends, I'm going to try my luck with those dead ends. Come with me or don't, but I'm not staying here.
[Maybe he'll get somewhere other than his "home" this time! Like...Jingyi's home, or something! Yeah!]
no subject
[ Inigo doesn't sound bitter about that in the slightest, mind you. His tone is incredibly casual as he says it. He truly doesn't mind what the other decides to do. Whatever feels better to him is totally valid.
But Inigo doesn't want to go back to his world, and he figures that if he stays here, he'll find out something eventually. Either something will change, or someone will arrive on this platform who does have some ability to figure things out. ]
Good luck out there.
