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.
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.

Re: Coping
The tears...hadn't actually stopped.
Re: Coping
"How... can I help you?"
Re: Coping
Re: Coping
...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.
Re: Coping
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?
Re: Coping
“S-sorry. It was the only thing I could think of.” Ruby admitted. “Can you forgive me?”
Re: Coping
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."
Re: Coping
“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…”
Re: Coping
"So...the kiss was like...cheek kisses....but like...more?" She asked.
Re: Coping
Re: Coping
Re: Coping
She giggled as she playfully added. “You’d probably wouldn’t want to date me, anyway - I’m too affectionate to be held down too long.”
Re: Coping
Lacerta was a very free love team.
"I am relieved though. Not that it's bad or anything to want to date you, but...well, I have.....a lot of baggage," she said, rubbing the back of her neck sheepishly. "Also it would be a lot of learning on my part, social conventions are hard."
There is a pause. "Also you'd have to deal with Danny and I would never wish his overprotectiveness on anyone," she said very solemnly. Overly solemnly. A joke, really.
Re: Coping
“But, I understand. It’s probably easier to just… you know… do our usual snuggling bits.”
At least she knew where she stood with Razzy.
“Don’t be afraid to ask for anything from me, though.”
Re: Coping
"But Danny is a good guy, by the way. He just worries about me a lot. I dunno if you met him yet," she added.
"Definitely easier, at least for a while," she said. "It can take a bit for me to get something. I would appreciate help, I know it's not questions I can just ask anyone." She sighed. "People get so weird about it."
Re: Coping
“Though, take your time. Don’t rush things. You’re still new and even I’m not sure of everything.”
Gently, she’ll wrap her arms around Razzy and pull her close.
“But, I’ll be here. I’ll help you the best I can. And… if there’s something you don’t want me doing, tell me.”
