Crashing Down: Conclusion

Time ticks down, five hours turn to three hours, turns to one hour, turns to mere minutes. All the while the Voidtreckers rush to tether people to void craft. All efforts are now on reaching the furthest communities.

The effort is monumental, an evacuation that was improvised at every stage and yet was successful. The planet quietens as its citizens vanish off into the void, villages emptying, creatures gone too.

By the final half hour they can be pretty confident that on Osiga at least the only people left are those who have chosen, for whatever reason, to do so. Even now it might not be too late to save them, the right word in the right ear could change everything.

Minutes tick down, and the question becomes: Do the voidtreckers evacuate, or do they stick around to try and convince that last person? Do they save lives by force? Leave them to their chosen fate?

Whatever their choices, time is rapidly running out.


CRASHING DOWN: CONCLUSION


HOUR ZERO

As their timers count down into the last two minutes, their SCA's begin to flash amber. Danger is approaching.

Some of the remaining citizens hunker down, awaiting what comes. Others gather, weapons in hand to face this foe they have been told to flee from.

Danger is indeed approaching. In their peripheral vision they will see a darkening of the sky as strange shapes begin to fill it; too weird to be clouds, nothing that can be accurately described. For those inside, even those with Anan in a space station, they will sense this shadowing. Almost as if shapes are crowding in on reality itself. An extremely unnerving experience. The shapes fill the sky, fill the system, and their SCA's flash red.

It is time to go.

It might be they try and fight, just to see if they can. It might be that they scramble to tether the last couple of people, people who have just rapidly changed their mind about staying here. The train lets them. Anyone who doesn't evacuate themselves will be allowed to stay until the last possible second, as their countdowns click down from 00:01. Then their world glows gold as the train yanks them back, landing in the luggage carriage with barely time to draw breath as the train lurches into the void violently.

For the first time, anyone looking out the window as the train enters the kaleidoscope of the void will see other void craft. Trains, ships, planes, weird orbs. Just for a few moments these craft fill the space, and then they move, the train as well, bringing colour back to the void once more.

“I wish I knew! Gods I wish I knew!” Ruby replied. “I tried to force them myself, but others wouldn’t let me. It… it wasn’t right! I…!”

Ruby’s hands pulled away from Razzy, cupping her cheeks and trying her tears.

"I'm not supposed to. I'm not supposed to, I promised I would be better, but I wanted to, why-why do people keep choosing death-" She feels too heavy without the support, slumping down to her knees.

And as Razzy falls, Ruby follows suit. Her arms wrap around her tightly, pulling her close.

"I wish I knew... I wish I knew..." she muttered. "It's not fair..."

Gods, she wanted this pain to stop...

"Its not. Its not and stupid and I don't get why people are like this...what's so wrong about being alive," she muttered, pressing herself into Ruby's shoulder again, shaking and holding on tight./

"Being alive is a wonderful thing, no matter how old you are..." Ruby said, rocking Razzy. "People are... weird."

Her hand goes up to pet her friend's hair as she continued to rock her.

"People are dumb," Razzy muttered, more frustrated then anything. "I don't get it. Dying sucks. Oblivion is terrifying. Why can't people get that? They shouldn't have to experience it to know, its not that abstract."

"You're not dumb. You just wanted to help people," Razzy said, tugging her closer.

"You... you don't think I'm dumb?" Ruby replied, surprised by that as she let Razzy pull her closer. "I've done so many dumb things..."

"Razzy..." Ruby uttered, tears welling up in her eyes before she hugged her tighter, kissing her cheek as thanks.
dnaofahalfa: (Human: But what if?)

Razzy looks at her and gives her a small smile. "You just wanted to help. There's nothing wrong with that. And if you just...learn from mistakes....its okay."

"Y-Yeah... y-you're right..." Ruby said, trying to calm down and giving Razzy a small smile herself. "S-Sorry for the kiss..."

"Huh? It was fine. Affection is important for you to feel better, right? And affection is nice," Razzy said, sniffling and wiping at her eyes.

The tears...hadn't actually stopped.

"Y-You're right..." Ruby said. It did make her feel better in both ways. But, Razzy was still hurting. Those tears weren't stopping.

"How... can I help you?"
dnaofahalfa: (Human: Tears)

Re: Coping

[personal profile] dnaofahalfa 2022-04-29 02:56 am (UTC)(link)
"I don't-I just-I need the feelings out, its just...too much noise," She said, closing her eyes and shaking her head.

Ruby can see how much this is hurting Razzy. She isn't sure how she can help, even if she has ways of making herself better...

...though, she decides one little thing, lifting Razzy's head up just a bit so she could plant a kiss on her lips. It's tame, it's chaste and, honestly, it makes those feelings within Ruby go away.

Its a surprise when it comes. Still chaste, still tame, though it makes Razzy go still.

She pulls away a bit, face red, and a bit confused. "Um....I....didn't expect that?" Though at least its thrown her off enough to stop crying?

Ruby looked away, blushing.

“S-sorry. It was the only thing I could think of.” Ruby admitted. “Can you forgive me?”

"Ah, no, no, its not-I don't think its a thing to forgive for?" She said.

The upset feelings are getting quickly replaced by confusion and looking lost. "Or is it? This-like, I know about dating stuff. And I think kissing on the lips isn't always dating stuff, but its like....most of the time? Or maybe that's just because no one wanted to explain this stuff and they forced Cobra to shut up about it and the biology books didn't talk about the emotional stuff and people only talked about it when it was the emotional stuff and got weird when it was about the physical stuff, but Lovers sure did like to talk about the physical stuff and Games couldn't just be dating people so maybe it is a lot more free, but Judges aren't the best way to read anything, but Raya saw a lot, but her family were always seen as being weird in social settings-"

She groans, and puts her face in her hands. "Okay, nope," she said, taking a deep breath, rubbing her face. She lifts up her head, hands together, looking at Ruby seriously. "I need you to be very clear what happened because I am a clone, I have not been alive for three years, and like a lot of that I was actively avoiding people or was stuck in a nightmare cave."

Ruby let out a small sigh and nodded. This was very awkward but she had to tell Razzy everything she knew.

“A kiss is an emotional thing. It’s a way to show affection to someone you care for and trust a lot. It’s easy to do so with family, but strangers and friends is tougher because a kiss can be seen as falling in love with them and they aren’t ready for such a step.”

She sighed.

“I kissed you because… you were hurting. I didn’t want you to be hurt anymore. You’re my friend and you suffered enough. I wanted you to know you’re not alone…”

Razzy nodded, listening intently.

"So...the kiss was like...cheek kisses....but like...more?" She asked.

“That’s right.” Ruby said. “It’s a very confusing thing, honestly, but it is a lot more than cheek kisses or kisses to the head.”
