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.

portals

[Now that everything has drawn to an end (or a new beginning, really), she's standing near the portal to her own home. There's something tight about her expression, but it's hard to tell what exactly might be prompting it. She wants to smile, but...

At any rate, when she sees someone else, that distress, discomfort, or whatever it might be fades away. She raises a hand in greeting with a slightly forced grin.]

Hey there. Excited to be going home?

wildcard

[hit me up if you want another prompt!!]

[stillstands]

... Did you get a chance to wish for things to change?

[ Because mm. Hmm. If not, then no, Emma. No. ]

[foodbin]

...I sure hope Shess managed it, at least.

[same energy!!]

[stillstands]

Oh, it was Shess granting the wishes?

[ Hm. ]

That makes a lot of sense.

[foodbin]

Yeah, I think it was part of the whole... deciding the fate of the universe thing. So, whatever it was that you asked for, I'm sure he did it.

[She tilts her head slightly.]

I can probably guess what it was.

[stillstands]

All that pressure, all that power.

[ Hmm. ]

Probably the same as what you've wished for. Think it actually worked?

[foodbin]

[After a moment:]

...I don't know what I'm going to do if it didn't, so - yes.

[whitewalls]

[ hm

well, first of all, emma is getting a hug before anything. ]

[foodbin]

[And she returns it without hesitation, wrapping her arms around Naminé.]

Hey, kid.

[whitewalls]

I missed you.

[ it's said quietly. ]

[foodbin]

[She runs a hand over her hair, ruffling it slightly.]

I missed you, too. Were you okay over there...?

[whitewalls]

... yeah.

We were mostly busy last week doing the tasks. They took up a lot of time.

[foodbin]

The tasks?

[leaberator]

[ hey so wherever she is there's some tall asshole grabbing her by the waist and spinning her around

TWIRLY TWIRL !!! ]

[foodbin]

[She makes a noise of surprise as her feet leave the ground, gripping his arms to steady herself - and then she sees who it is, and she laughs breathlessly even as tears start to form.

Happily:]

Just how long have you been waiting to do that?

[leaberator]

Hmmm... How long have we been awake?

[ like. ten minutes? it's fine. he puts her down. ]

I figured if I did it any time before now, you'd have beaten me up.

[foodbin]

You caught me. Always looking for excuses to do just that.

[on the surface, it’s the light banter they’ve exchanged for weeks now, but - there’s something else in her tone, too, tight and buried.]

[leaberator]

[ he'd make a joke about how her killing him was letting out weeks of pent-up aggression, but it is probably too soon for that joke

it will probably always be too soon for that joke.

he tilts his head and squints ]

Hey, you doing alright? Nothing still hurts, right?

[ he doesn't know how she died?? so??? ]

[blackcoats]

[ xion sees the hesitation in emma's face by the portals... while she still might be naive about other worldly matters, she can kind of guess where her thoughts are going. ]

Are you... coming with us?

[foodbin]

[She gives a nod to the question, her smile growing a bit more sincere.]

That's the plan, at least. Hope you won't mind the extra company.

[blackcoats]

[ and when emma's face lifts, so too does xion's, giving her a tiny smile. ]

Of course not. You make Axel happy, after all.

[wagashis]

Finding somewhere else to go, actually.

[and with a glance between her and her portal:]

You don't seem too eager, yourself.

[foodbin]

Do you have somewhere in mind...?

[She gives a shrug.]

I'm not going back permanently or anything, but - I do want to see it one last time.

[To make sure the changes she asked for took effect.]

does this technically count as a wildcard even tho i'm portalling you

[unclocked]

... But I just got here!

[ have a bitty, wandering around the various portals, pipe up at emma's question. ]

[foodbin]

Oh... Hey there!

[She doesn't know what portal he might have come from, but she bends down slightly to address him, offering a smile.]

Is there someone you're looking for?
