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.

1.
[ Futaba’s all over the village for a while, saying goodbye to everyone she knows, bodily tackling people who aren’t paying attention (it’s fine it’s like getting attacked by a falling tree nut), and generally making herself a nuisance ]

Hey!!!

2.
[ Otherwise, like everyone else, Futaba is hanging near her portal. She’s not really sure where it’ll lead since she was already mid epilogue but she’s so ready to see everyone again. A part of her wonders if anyone will believe this crazy ride or think it to be a fantastical dream she had, napping in the van.

Only one way to find out…!! ]

[Other Than that, wildcard @ me ]

[ it's fine he's being tackled??

except he's going to catch her in his arms and spin her around ]

[alitaba]

[ she honestly to god giggles, tightening her hold on him ]

We did it!!

[preowned]

Mm! Everything worked out, didn't it?

[ even though for a moment it looked

pretty bad ]

[alitaba]

I was pretty worried for a while there. [ op jiji was Very OP ]

But we held onto hope and they did it!! [ They, being mainly 99% Shess and 1% Meteor via Kara but the idea still counts ]

[preowned]

So.

What are your plans now?

[alitaba]

I wanna go home!

[ it's blurted out without thinking too hard on it but she does pause, tilting her head a little ]

But I also want to see everyone else's homes too so maybe I'll stay for a while longer first.

[preowned]

You can always go home first and then visit later, if you want.

[alitaba]

Maybe....!! [ she wants to do everything at once tbh ]

At least we should still all be able to keep in contact if anything!! [ expect 2am shitposts from her, Tsuru ]

[preowned]

[ 2am shitposts will be great after he confirms that he's not going to die

but for now he just smiles. ]

The oracle bells, right?

1 I PRESSED ENTER TOO EARLY

[blackcoats]

Ah—hi Futaba...

[ xion trails off as she tries to get her footing straight, but it's to follow up with a laugh. ]

Welcome back.

i saw nothing

[alitaba]

[ she just beams at her, far too excited about the fact she can actually talk to the others again. ]

I'm back!!

[blackcoats]

We all are.

[ somehow, someway. ]

Thank you for the message yesterday. It... helped, a lot.

[ even if she still kind of broke anyway, but can you blame her... ]

[alitaba]

You're welcome![ she had a feeling Xion would need it. Especially with all of That having happened. ]

You did really well despite everything being awful.

[blackcoats]

[ the smile she gives futaba is more wistful than honestly happy, but... hey, it's not a frown. ]

... I still feel like I shouldn't have stuck around to the end, but... that means so much to me. And I'm glad you guys didn't give up on us, too.

[alitaba]

[ she'll take it honestly. otherwise, she'd have to break out the big guns ]

Of course!! We've been cheering you- and everyone! On the whole time. I just wish we weren't so constrained in communications so I could have said more. [ or you know. not have been so bad about contacting people ]

[omegathree]

[Yes, he's being tackled, but he's also catching her, and holding her up like she weighs exactly nothing to him.]

Hello, lass.

[alitaba]

Hi, Val!!!

[ look at her, she's so full of energy despite being a sad sack last night. ]

Look's like it all worked out, huh??

[omegathree]

[This much energy makes him think of Fuka. Ah, he misses his kids.]

It did. Everything worked out for the best. Putting our trust in Shess was a good idea.

Are you ready to go home now?

[alitaba]

[ She'll have to meet them at some point for double the trouble ]

I'm so glad it did! We'll have to give Shess a big hug!! [ or you know, climb him like a tree so it doesn't resemble actually just resemble a koala attached to his ankle ]

I can't wait to go home!! I want to see Sojiro and everyone so bad!!!!

[omegathree]

[Fuka also wanted to rule the world. That's real and canon. Maybe he just collects troublemakers like this. Or they find him. It's one or the other.]

He's at the portals for now.

It's been a few months now. Even when they don't know you're gone, you do.

[alitaba]

[ Both ]

I'll have to find him before he vanishes.

[ ...... ] It's gonna be weird going back home, isn't it? It's been months for us but minutes; maybe even seconds for them.

[omegathree]

He's the busy type. Best find him quickly.

I don't have the same type of time scale as you do, lass. Regardless, the difference in the timing is going to be strange at first. At least they have no reason to be worried about us now.

[alitaba]

Sure!

I wonder what they're gonna think about all of this [ because clearly she's gonna tell everyone when she gets back ] If they'll want to see everyone too. It'd be fun to meet up sometime after this with everyone back home....!!

[omegathree]

You're planning on telling them as well?

I'll be able to travel through the portal at home now. And we all seem able to return here.
