Day 5 Domino: Let it Snow: Preperations

[voidtreckermods]

Early Evening

Due to some of the passengers having strange dreams those on the Voidtrecker Express should be expecting something soon and so it is around dinner time on the evening of the fifth day of Domino that everyone's SCA glows with the colour of the void, a holographic message appears with their next mission.

Those going to the dressing car will find the drawers and wardrobes open. Inside are a variety of warm weather clothes, all in team colours. Thick padded winter jackets, waterproof trousers. Hats, gloves, scarves. Thick boots and also a variety of ice skates. There are waterproof covers for a variety of sizes of bags and even some coils of rope.

It seems they are not arriving until the next morning and so they have time to plan as best they can.

Morning: Day Six

No matter if they stayed up late preparing or went to bed early to get some rest before the mission they will wake up the next morning to the morning announcement. "Good morning passengers. Today is day six of the month of Domino. A moment later the voice speaks again. "Our next stop is world#58291. Drop order: Purple, Blue, Red, Orange. Conditions are adverse and so all passengers must be ready to alite swiftly."

There is time for some final preparation.

"My own recipe," Evie states, taking a bit of it for herself and sitting across from Curufin. When he reminds her of what she and her team are facing, she sighs. She doesn't look too fond of it, to be honest, but she'll get through it. Just like she always does.

"There are stories back home about a queen in a neighboring kingdom who had the ability to control ice. She could create living beings from it. One of them was a giant ice monster. Again, I don't know if this is true? But I wouldn't be surprised. It's nothing I've ever seen." She thinks about this for a second, looking briefly concerned before shaking her head and smiling.

"I still have two of the swords from those goblins a while back. They're packed in my bag. That should help some, I hope."

"You do have a gift for making tasty food. Anybody who comes in looking for a meal this morning is going to appreciate that." He's not too fond of the idea of his friends, acquaintances, and family fighting monsters without him, but he thinks his assignment is a good one for a mechanical and electrical engineer such as he is.

"I guess we have no way of knowing how the creatures were created, or whether they are natural to the world we're about to visit. But I've heard of powerful sorcerers who have ice powers, and so I believe it might be possible to create ice monsters deliberately."

He smiles when she does.

"Oh, you have swords, good! I certainly wouldn't go down into that valley without at least one."

"There are two more in the oven, just in case," Evie says. She knows how many people there are on the train, and how many people are going to want to eat before leaving, so she made a lot of these things.

There is even stuff left-over to throw together, should anything run out.

"I do. I have mine and Harry's. Apparently, he didn't take it with him when he left. So that works. Dual-wielding isn't exactly one of my skills, but I can either share it with someone or do my best."

He's impressed with her concern for others, and he's sure that everyone will appreciate the delicious breakfast foods.

"You had a friend who is gone? But it's good he left you his goblin sword. I've got a couple of those swords, too. I wish there were time to practice before we are summoned to the door for mission drop, but for the future, if you'd like some dual wield practice, I'll be available."
