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.

"No, or.. um, at least, I don't think so.."
After all, it's entirely possible that Kyubey - or whatever the species he belongs to is called - is called something else out there in another world. It could be that they aren't just present in the world Madoka comes from, after all.
Hence why she bites her lip, before adding: "What is it like..? That.. Crossroads?"
She thinks a description would help her figure out pretty quickly whether or not they are talking about the same thing. Or even a similar thing.
no subject
And he catches himself, realizing that this probably wasn't appropriate for a child, but like Hell he knew what that even was. And seeing the loss of Osiga had rattled him. That at least hadn't felt malicious the way the Crossroads had. "It usually uses ghosts as intermediaries, but the bargain itself is made with the guardian."
no subject
It.. doesn't really sound like Kyubey, but on the other hand, Thomas is also saying it uses intermediaries.
So who knows?
"I don't think I've seen anything like that, but.. where I come from, there are also creatures who make bargains with young girls for their wishes, so maybe it could be something similar, sir.."
Though that's not necessarily a good thing, she thinks.

.. yet not at all at the same time. But Madoka doesn't know how else to start her description. How does one describe a Kyubey to someone who might never have seen one before?
"They're entirely white, with pointy ears and red eyes and a very fluffy tail.. But at the same time you realise they're not actually a cat, because they have a second pair of longer, floppy ears growing out of their pointy cat ears. And they can talk in human speech too.."
Madoka looks a little sheepish as she tries to explain, like she expects Thomas to think that she's talking about something totally ridiculous here - even though she's just telling the truth. The weird, weird truth.
no subject
The physical description soudned perfectly reasonable. He pulled out a separate page in the notebook to write this down. "Any other special abilities, beyond speech and whatever they can do to grant wishes?"
cw: mention of.. self-cannibalism, i guess
Like the facts Madoka decides to open with here. To her credit, she definitely sounds more than just a little bit awkward as she's summing it up, since she knows that it sounds like - and it's not like any of it is a good memory for her.
"They can take people's souls out of their body.. And they can also replicate their body and eat the old one after it gets too injured.."
Fun little creatures, clearly.
