Finale

Finale

Today, tonight? Has been a long, long day. At least you've been afforded some small window of rest after the carnival, for however relaxing it might not have been. Hopefully by now you've been able to process some of what's happened, or maybe you're just looking past it.

Either way, a little over an hour after the Goddess of Ish's dreams vanished, she reappears.

[OOC: Welcome to endgame! We'll have some IC discussion and then characters will split into two different teams. Here's to the end, wherever that leads! ]

I mean I could— [ the bubble almost seems to bounce a little. ] but shouldn't I just take him with me? I can give you all what you would need to survive here, at least.

[ he did bad so he must go to Jail for 99999999999999 years. ]

[antemeridian]

We're not pets to be kept in a cage.

[lesmodsalouette]

Well.... the other option is I could just leave you here, but I'll fade away by the time the sun here rises—

[ the windows xp landscape is just beginning to show the early traces of dawn. ]

But then you would be free to do whatever you wanted, if you survive. Can you survive in a vacuum of space?

now in the right place

[antemeridian]

And what of the ... hm, cursed spirits we've been told about?

If, hypothetically, we accepted to stay, with food and water and housing. There is something wrong with this place. The intersection of three planes where at least two are cracking at the seams, and the last is, by all reports, unpleasantly corrupted at best.

What happens with that?

[lesmodsalouette]

...it would probably go really poorly! But I believe in you.

[ hehe. ]

[antemeridian]

Stripped of any abilities we might have once had to counteract it?

[ oh, she's stupid stupid. ]

You would have us live here in relative comfort, waiting for the inevitable moment everything falls apart around us and we all presumably perish or worse?

[lesmodsalouette]

Yes. Is that so terrible?

[ cut shot to me, lb, as :MEOWNO: ]

[stygiomedusa]

Yes.

[Just. What do you even say to that... 🧍‍♀️]

[antemeridian]

You don't know me, so you wouldn't know this.

But I willingly put myself through an endless labyrinth of time, trying to find a way to avert the inevitable. That I am here [ still here, despite everything, ] isn't a credit to me but to the person I was doing it for, but all the same.

You will find that many people would rather not simply sit back and await their ends.

[ apparently not even Hwylryn these days. ]

[safetycheck]

[ Quietly listens to this.

...

"...isn't a credit to me but to the person I was doing it for" is a fuckin mood. ]

[fourtuity]

[ Yeah... Of course, she can pinpoint and explain her motivations so elegantly. That's Homura for you.

For a moment, she closes her eyes to think about the person she most wants to see again. ]

[simulacres]

You can't just take the hard work we've tried to do these past 4 weeks and then say "good luck!" and disappear!

Ish still has responsibilities he has to fulfill! If you care that much about your son, then make him finish the job he promised!

[ocenon]

... You couldn't have made mention of this when you first pulled us here?

[ BRO WE'VE BEEN SITTING AROUND FOR AN HOUR WE COULD'VE GONE THROUGH THIS SOONER ]

[uiscebeatha]

[ PREACH, BROTHER ]

[lesmodsalouette]

[ wow? she pouts, just a little. ]

I needed to talk to Ish first, but I'm sorry I made you wait.

[simulacres]

I would have loved an interruption like thirty minutes ago.

[ while blade and dan heng were making out. ]

[simulacres]

I-I'm sorry, I understand you mean well, but I don't think any of us want to just survive here like birds in a cage! I want to go back home!

[ is this selfish of her to ask? ]

If he tries to do something bad again, can't you just... turn him into a snake again or something?

[uiscebeatha]

[ >:( ]

He has his end of the bargain to uphold to us. [ does he know this for sure. no. but he's tired and he's using the words he has ] Once he's brought the others back and sent us all home, you can do what you want with him.

[lesmodsalouette]

Hmm...well, I'll probably be gone by then.

[ but she is having Thinky Thoughts. ]

[uiscebeatha]

Then we could've started this sooner...

[ HE'S SO TIRED LET HIM GO HOME TO HIS WIFE

With a big sigh— ]

Whatever it is, we'll do it as fast as we can.
