the veil is thin . . .

[ On the night of the 16th, the feeling of tension and horrid anticipation comes to a head. Everything stops when the sun goes down-- even the ever-present music in the hoppingest part of the city center. One by one, everyone turns their eyes to the skies. The young and old alike pour out of their houses, some in bare feet, and they point to the velvety blanket of stars.

It takes a second to find it, especially if one is unaccustomed to the starscape. But even a casual observer can see it.

A brightly-shining star, larger than the others, and growing larger.

An announcement cuts across all communication channels that encourages people to evacuate to the space station, but it’s clear that these are just people and they’ll need some help. Supplies, equipment, organization, there’s something for everyone to do.

Civilization is disrupted by a panicked stampede of people vying for limited seats aboard spacefaring craft. Within hours, there will be crushed glass, looting, and chaos.

The clock is ticking. Will you help? Or would you rather watch the dying gasps of a Singing Planet from a safe distance? ]

They'll make the right choice. Just give them the chance to process it all.

[But Vash can completely see where Anders is coming from so he doesn't look upset by what was said.]

Don't worry, I'm not going anywhere.

[Anders bit lightly on his lip but then nodded. Sometimes, he wished he had whatever spark of hope Vash carried so strongly; the one that made him believe in the general people and think that all men were worth sparing at the end of the day, even the ones trying to kill you.

Vash wouldn't like Thedas, Anders had decided this a long time ago. He'd survive, most definitely, but he certainly wouldn't be able to keep that hope intact.]


Alright.

[He nodded, an answer to both, then stepped back out into the panicked throng to fetch the last group he'd huddled together.]

[Never doubt Vash's ability to keep hope alive!

He will sit patiently for the shuttle to be filled (and stay awake this time) before heading off again.]
