Farewell
34 Revived

As the sun rises on Saturday morning, all will be quiet and still in the village. Not a single soul stirs as the sun and the moon linger in the sky, visible should anyone look.

A shimmer of stars spark through the air as a swirl of darkness lifts from the village. Everything has returned to as it once was, all 16 houses in-tact and all buildings precisely as they were before. Beams of light follow, soaring through the air and delivering every single participant back to this plane of existence.

As participants gather their wits and take in their surroundings, they'll find that a celebratory banquet has been prepared for them not unlike the one that originally greeted them. Decorations hang from the rafters and windows as lively music plays and can be heard in every part of the village. Some may even be able to trace the source to a gathering of musical instruments, and even...a turntable? Strange. All manner of fruits and vegetables appear to be perfect for harvest, and a variety of freshly cooked dishes from across many worlds can be found on display at the tables in the center. If you don't see your favorite dish? All of the ingredients can be found, along with amenities to make it yourself.

Surrounding the center of the village, several gateways open one by one, a soft gold glow emitting from them. No dangers linger in these parts, but adventure awaits those who wish to find it. Likewise, silver gateways open alongside these and serve as portals that allow participants to return to their homeworlds whenever they're ready.

Your Oracle Bells are in working condition, all messages saved from your time here and featuring a new network feature. Even as you leave this world, you're only 140 characters away from the friends you've come to cherish. Look around at those who join you today. Look hard enough, and you may even find some familiar faces you haven't seen for a very, very long time.

Though your time in this village draws to a close, the universe has settled and found a path to follow. You will always have a place here should you wish to return, and even when you depart for your next destination, your strength and power will follow you.

Your gratitude will be remembered, participants. Congratulations.

[nonbelligerent]

you only get one option

[shess is lingering around his portal. looks like someone's ready to go home—but he'll stick around for a bit for anyone who might want to say goodbye before then.]

[foodbin]

...Hey.

[It's a little bit nervous, considering what happened - but she looks relieved to see him, at least.]

Heading out...?

[nonbelligerent]

[...]

I've been delayed enough from my tasks back home, as it is.

I'm glad to see you're well again.

[foodbin]

Not giving yourself a second to rest, huh?

[Not that she's exactly surprised; there's a certain fondness in the way she says it.]

[omegathree]

[This is fine. There's no awkwardness in Val at all, he asked Shess to kill him, and he's accepted it.]

I'm sure you have tasks to achieve at home.

Before you leave, I'm grateful for our time together.

[nonbelligerent]

[he smiles.]

I am, as well. I'm glad to have met you, Valvatorez.

[omegathree]

[He steps a little closer and if Shess doesn't pull away, he'll hug him. It's not for very long, but if he wants to hug back, he'll be able to]

I can only speak for myself, so... I appreciate all your hard work.

Good luck in all your future endeavors. Let me know if you need any assistance.

[stillstands]

[ surprise, shess. ]

Are you off, then?

[nonbelligerent]

[miki!!

shess pauses for a moment, before smiling.]

Soon. Even if time hasn't moved, it feels as though I've been away for too long.

[stillstands]

[ shess!!

yeah no sneaking out the back door here. ]

... Mm, it has been way too long.

...

Even if you're busy, please don't avoid us entirely. Let us know you're okay, if you can.

[preowned]

[ he's passing by when he sees him and

it seems like he's debating for a moment, but he'll walk over. ]

Hey.

[nonbelligerent]

Hi.

[he smiles.]

You can pick up Bob-chan now.

[preowned]

Thank you for looking after her.

[ he seems to now be calling her a girl. it's fine. ]

[unfriendliest]

[ there he is. kara approaches reluctantly, as if unsure of what to say, or how to say it. a lot happened last night, after all. ]

Shess.

[nonbelligerent]

[...]

It's good to see you in one piece again.

[papawolf]

[ He'll just give him a pat on the shoulder to let him know he did good ]

[nonbelligerent]

[thanks.]

Have you said goodbye to Ookurikara yet?

[globs]

... You're leaving?

[ it feels like it's been a long time since they've last seen him in person, even though it's only been a week or two. They're not the type to rush at him in the joy of reunion, or to call his name and cry - but they do feel a tingling relief settle into their limbs at the sight of him, not bleeding, not sad, alive. Somehow, he did it.

The mercury usually floating around them is entirely absent. There are a million things they need to say to him, and want to say to him. But, as ever, Cinnabar holds back, stopping a yard or two away, shyly trying to gauge his mood and reaction. ]

[nonbelligerent]

[... ah.]

I'll stick around for a bit, but otherwise, there's little else for me to do here.

[unsaid]

[there is absolutely no way that i can have jiji just go out of his way to look for shess

but he's absolutely taking a peek into every portal because he's curious?? he's just been wandering his way through all of them, presumably while shess was still talking to everyone else. but now mikazuki is approaching shess' portal and he is

still standing right there

oh

awkward]

Ah.

[this was the only way i could make this happen, please let jiji be a fucking moron]

[nonbelligerent]

[damn

... well, that sure is awkward, so shess just. gives him a light wave?? it doesn't seem like mikazuki wants to talk to him, so...]

[wagashis]

...I suppose this all went well enough, in the end.

[this is the one acknowledgement shess is going to get. he's not quite swallowing enough pride to actually say thank you, but... he's also not quite enough of an asshole to say nothing at all.]

[nonbelligerent]

[well, he's a little surprised shirasu is talking to him, given that he's hardly shirasu's favourite around here, but okay.]

Seems that way.

[leaberator]

[ shows up solely to clap Shess on the shoulder ]

Good job out there. [ he has no idea what happened but everything looks good so. good job shess!!! ] You gettin' ready to head right back to more work?

[ is it a tease if he knows it's accurate ]

[nonbelligerent]

[it is not, alas.......]

Pretty much. Excited to show Emma your world?
