Event start: On the train

[utopiamods]

The clothes Dunleavy had mentioned were simple light trousers, three plain t shirts in school colours, a warm jumper; again in school colours and a pair of walking boots. There was also a small rucksack so spare clothes and other belongings could be packed.

On the platform NPCs were loading what seemed to be tents, cooking stoves and sleeping bags into the hold. Those chosen were ushered onto the train and told to sit wherever they liked.

Once everyone had arrived the whistle sounded and for the first time in fourteen weeks the train set off in the opposite direction. Smoke whistled happily past the window as they began to go faster past meadows and trees.

Then, quite suddenly everyone began to feel very sleepy. "There is a story everyone knows..." It was that old dream again, lulling you in and you find your eyes dropping against your will...

When you wake up the train is slowing and the countryside looks different, mountainous, rougher; a little more wild.

"Attention everyone, the train is approaching it's final destination. Please be ready to leave the train in half an hour." As people shake off the last of the sleep this message continues.

Then it changes, "You will notice that some of your now possess a coloured exaclan glove on your chair, others will notice a coloured ring. Please put them on now. Your first task is to find your Player if you are a Weapon, or your Weapon if you are a Player. Find the person whose colour matches yours."

Silver

Shion opened his eyes sleepily from where he was curled on a chair next to Becca and Alex. The dream, the same words as when he arrived...

Shion blinked at the instructions and looked down spotting the silver ring. He put it on and looked around a little confused. "So I have to find a person with a silver glove..."

Asagi puts his gloved hand on Shion's shoulder, smiling a bit that it matched. He frowns a bit at Becca, actually feeling bad about having hurt her, and at least he doesn't try to hide that expression. "I will take good care of you, Shion."

[savedbyasong]

Shion jumped at the hand on his shoulder and glared at the man behind him. He hadn't forgiven him for attacking Becca, he would never forgive him for attacking Becca and his eyes narrowed at the silver glove. "No. I don't want to be your Weapon."

Asagi sighs a bit, having expected such a reaction. "I would not ask it of you had we the choice." He looks to Becca and back to Shion, "If I don't fight her, there is no way I will loose control again, so I will do all that is in my power to not fight her." He pulled out another cigarette and lit it, looking away from Becca.

Shion glared at him again and glanced at Becca, he didn't want her to be hurt, he didn't want her to be upset either and though he didn't know why he had seen already that cigarette's upset her.

It was that more than anything that made him stand and move over to Asagi. "Okay then. But don't hurt her. I wont forgive you if you do."

[the_stand_cometh]

"I won't." He might not have promised out loud, but there was a weight to his words that didn't normally enter with his aloof attitude. He was making a solemn vow, even though he didn't apologize to Becca, but Asagi essentially never apologized for anything.

[savedbyasong]

Shion met his eyes for a moment and then nodded, believing him. "Thank you..." He looked away, he still didn't forgive him for hurting her in the first place, nor did he regret attacking him in return but he knew he should try and keep his anger under control. They were to work together.

Asagi sighs, clearly not very good at things like this. He puts his hands in his pockets, "As usual, you have full rights. I want to make this painless."

[savedbyasong]

"Thank you." Shion doubted it would be painless, he stared out the window. He slipped on the ring.

[the_stand_cometh]

Asagi began walking away from Becca and Alex, certain that his presence was unwelcome. He still was angry at himself for losing control. He was only glad that at least here death was not permanent.

[savedbyasong]

Shion followed him silently, not wishing to make conversation but not wanting to just walk off. He had to at least attempt to be polite.

Asagi seemed more than happy to stay quiet and walk silently.
