SLEIGH BELLS RING

Those that escape from the theater all seem to come out through the same doors. When they get there, they can see that the theater isn't actually a building. There's only a free-standing set of theater doors on the playground. At the rear side of them is a brick wall.

Those that exit will find they can't re-enter.

None of the humans have seemed to notice the door or them, even those driving by.

Not everyone escapes at the same time. It comes in fits and starts, them filtering of the theater. Some can walk out mostly unharmed, some limp out, some come out supporting each other.

What they find outside is... uncanny. There in the playground is a massive sleigh, but one that looks not-exactly-traditional, with equipment and boosters that look almost like a mix of technology and something magical.

It's been expanded into many carriages, almost like a roller coaster. Harnessed to it are eight massive reindeer, champing slightly at their bits. It appears the people that attacked and created the theater are at least long gone. That means that as people slowly filter out they can check up on each other, provide first aid, and reassure each other.

OOC DETAILS
❅ Status effects: Any injuries or damage that happens to a character will stick when they leave the Multiplex. That means that someone that gets facehugged by a facehugger will have an alien larva problem that may be causing some serious indigestion soon. Anyone that gets Borg-nanited through the neck will start having the nanites take over them. However the myth healing will slow these processes down until they can get to the Pole, and there are magical means at the Pole to help the characters survive this.

❅ First Aid/Other Supplies: The sleigh will have magically anticipated their needs. While it won't have the antivenom for Kaa because only a magical plant that grows at the Pole can cure the bites, it will have plenty of well-stocked general first aid kits. Applying first aid can help the myth healing heal someone more quickly and is important for injured characters that opted out of the myth healing.

❅ Timing: People can bendytime the timing of when their characters have escaped to play in this and "Let's All Go To The Movies" at the same time. People can also intro here late if they need to wrap some things up in the other post first.

❅ Intro: Players can use this post to intro instead if that's their preference. You can just assume your characters had to run from scary things in the theater and either handwave their circumstances, or assume your character found a way out more quickly than others.

"Well, and I have someone that can cover my back and flanks whenever I barge in."

He shifts slightly, no smirk, but there is sincere pleasure betrayed by his body language nonetheless to someone who knows him intimately.

"Let's hope this world is a kinder one than some we've known."

"Yeah, marines need a lot of that." The phrasing is sarcastic, but the tone isn't, and Sarah's smile softens, an easy-to-read microexpression. "Seems like the world might be nicer, but the people invading aren't. I don't know how likely they are to spread out past here, but if there's a real chance of it, this place might get ruined in the process of stopping them."

Sometimes you have to sacrifice a planet. It's awful, but you can't get so focused on one star system you forget the bigger picture.

"I will hope it does not come to that, then." He's aware, though he doesn't want to say it. The Imperium of his time wasn't as inclined to destroy entire worlds, though... there have been words of civilizations being so thoroughly tainted by xenos as to have been destroyed. Even Dorn has done such a thing when the situation required it.

"Have you seen anyone else from our previous sojourns?"
