Day 5 Domino: Let it Snow: Preperations

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.

Preparations

At one point, another voice joins his, Nerdanel's knowledge of stone offered freely to her nephew to take, a cup of tea and a plate of nibbles set beside him.

She's a far more natural touch with stone that Fingon is, even if he has more experience with turning them into emergency survival tools.

(Though who knows whether that's right, really? Aman is generally safe, but he has some idea how far she has traveled.)

Between that and- well- it's perhaps easier to let her help than it would be for most of his other kin on this train.

"Thank you," he tells her when the tea and food come over. "You don't need to trouble yourself, though. I've managed this before."

"I know." She smiles at him fondly.

"But your mother is not here to make sure you take care of yourself, so I will do so in her stead."

He manages a small smile.

"I wouldn't wish her here, to tell the truth. Taking Mother out of Tirion wouldn't be kind or fair."

"Maybe not. But she would endure much to see you again, I think."

Nerdanel is a mother herself, after all. And her sons may be the greatest idiots on the planet (their father excepting) and kinslaying demons besides, but still...

Don't worry too much, Auntie, there's a lot of competition for 'greatest idiots on the planet,' even for the Feanorionnath.

And technically, Fingon is a 'kinslaying demon' as well, so....

"Is she well?" He has to ask.

[personal profile] marriedanidiot 2020-01-28 06:21 am (UTC)(link)
One versus up to four tho...

"She is." Nerdanel nods. "Your mother is strong, as you know! She misses you all terribly, but she does as well as she might."

Fingon doesn't know about those yet

"All of us?" He looks pained. "I would have thought that Arko, at least...."

He's a baby, they have to have let him out, right?

"yet"

"So far, only Findarato has come home." She admits. "We have hope for Arko, but ... we have also been told that some of you are... er. Refusing to leave."
