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.

a. portals

[ You only get one from me, too. Akane is hanging out near the portals. Predictably, playing on her phone. But maybe surprisingly, she actually looks up at anyone who comes near!

She's up for wandering anywhere they've been, or maybe she just doesn't want to go home first. Which is... Also surprising, given that it's her world. Her safe haven. But...

Well, anyway.]

It's over! Where are you headed?

Home.

[Honestly? Where else?]

[ Some people might want to run around and adventure in those other worlds, first! And she's curious! ]

Good. You have to text me all the time, okay?

[He misses his angel and his werewolf? It's been nine long weeks without his best friends?]

All the time? Are you sure you won't get tired of it?

Aaaaall the time.

[ She's a teenage girl, she loves texting. When it's from people she likes! ]

I can't promise that all the time... I'll text as often as I can.

[Mostly because he's busy? Val is actually a workaholic. He has three children and then a thousand sinners to deal with.]

I guess I'll make do.

[ SHE GUESSES. Valvatorez she is one of your children, now! ]

[How many kids did he end up with in one murdergame?]

Make certain to text back.

[ It's his fault for being The Dad Friend. ]

Of course! I wouldn't just ignore texts.

[ She would. Akane absolutely leaves classmates on read and sometimes it's just to fuck with them. ]

[Jiji was right there?? There have to be better options than a demon.]

Then I look forward to our correspondence.

[ No!! She likes the demon!! ]

Me too. It'll be like you're always around.

[ Sort of. ]

I can visit as well, though I can't stay for long.

I don't know if my world would be any fun for you...

[ Akane you're a goddess, you could change it. Make an effort. ]

... back to work, probably.

[ deep sigh. ]

But I actually don't know, because I'm unsure how the wishes here might or might not have affected things back home.

What about you? Not ready to go back yet?

I think you've had a pretty crummy vacation. You should stay away from work a little longer.

[ Mostly because. She doesn't want to see him go, but she doesn't think saying it more plainly would do any good. ]

I'll be glad to get home, but it's not going anywhere. May as well see everyone off.

If only I could file for leave without sounding insane.

[ he really is tired, though. even going back to the mundane, civilian cover grind doesn't sound great... let alone the agent one... ]

That glad to get back that you won't want to visit, hm?

It's weird, right? Going back to whatever is normal for us after this.

[ But, like he's kind of pointing out... ]

But I guess we'll always have it. I'll probably come visit if I need to.

[ Need??? Well, if she needs to get away from her own world. Of course. ]

You make it sound like such a chore.

[ 'need to.' trigleph isn't that bad, certain people in it aside . . . sure, elympios is a dying world and it's probably fucked in the long run because jrpg ecoconservation narrative beats that definitely don't reflect the current state of things for us right now, but it's... home? ]

Honestly ... in some ways this wasn't actually that different from what I normally have to do anyway.

[ just, in the ways it did differ, it sucked. they should have just said everyone had to die from the start. ]

Well, there's a lot going on back home... It's not like I get to go and relax.

[ She has murders to attempt. :( And she makes a face at that. He has to go back to?? Something like this??? ]

That just seems unfair.

We all have responsibilities to get back to, don't we?

[ wow, what a busy murder docket she has! surely that's not something he should be suggesting she look for an alternative option to, oh well. and he just... shrugs a bit, playing it off like it's no big deal. ]

I've long gotten used to the fact that life's unfair. Unfortunate, but what can you do.

[ which is not necessarily the best thing to say to someone used to making the world go the way she wants, but ]

... Change it?

[ If you don't like the world just make a new one?? But, thanks to Character Development™ she sounds like she's mostly joking instead of just. Sincerely suggesting that people just throw out their realities and make new ones at the drop of a hat. Still... ]

Not all of us have quite as much power to change the world as you do, you know. There aren't exactly any good long term plans for that yet outside of 'commit patricide' and 'get away with it', unfortunately. Nevermind the rest of the micromanagement that would come from inheriting a company that big...

[ it's joking, but he also sounds deadly serious, so! ]

Honestly, that sounds like I'd just be making sure that I'd never have any more free time, ever.

[ Hm. HM. Just breezing right over the patricide part because that's fine and not at all questionable to her! ]

Managing stuff can be fun, though. And you seem like the type that'd be good at it.

... might I ask where you got that sort of impression or how you came to that conclusion?

[ don't listen to him, but also, in his opinion he's a very bad pick to be in charge of that much power, holy shit. ]

[ how do i say you seem uptight without insulting you. ]

You seem... Good at understanding things?

[ and that's the first step to making them how they should be! ]
