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]

[...]

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

[unfriendliest]

[ he bows his head ]

Thank you for taking care of us.

[nonbelligerent]

I said I would.

[unfriendliest]

Yeah.

[ ... ]

I'm sorry for leaving you alone, in the end. But I'm glad it was you.

[nonbelligerent]

... As long as it worked out as people wanted.

[unfriendliest]

[ he turns to glance back at the others ]

I think it did. You did a good job.

[nonbelligerent]

Well, it's not like I did much. Just passed on everyone's wishes.

[unfriendliest]

That was enough.

[nonbelligerent]

If you say so.

Going home now?

[unfriendliest]

Not yet. There are some people I wanted to see first.

[nonbelligerent]

All for good reasons, I hope.

[unfriendliest]

...Mostly. I'm not sure if all of them will be.

[ specifically mikazuki, but who knows ]

[nonbelligerent]

... I guess so. Still, better to get them done than to potentially live in regret.

[please ignore the fact that this is coming from the person not going out of his way to say any goodbyes.]

[unfriendliest]

So why aren't you doing it?

[ he notices things sometimes ]

[nonbelligerent]

[... oh.

haha!

shess takes a moment, because he wasn't expecting that.]

... We succeeded in our goal. That's enough for me.

[unfriendliest]

So you're going to leave without even saying anything?

[ that's is his own choice. kara won't stop him, but he can't quite hide the note of bitterness in his voice. he should have known this would happen again. ]

[nonbelligerent]

[um.]

... Did you want me to?

[he was not aware? kara wanted to say goodbye?]

[unfriendliest]

[ well if he's completely honest he isn't sure that he wants shess to go at all but

instead of saying that, he crosses his arms ]

Do you always leave a friend behind without saying a word to them?

[nonbelligerent]

[shess still needs to get used to kara openly calling them friends.]

... I'm not usually the one leaving them behind, so I can't say.

[unfriendliest]

Then you should know what it's like to be the one left.

[ come on, shess, he knows you get it. kara doesn't want to outright ask for something from him, but he doesn't want to be left with nothing again, either. ]

[nonbelligerent]

[...

to be honest, shess went through these past weeks not expecting many people to miss him when it was over.

maybe it's hypocritical of him, considering how he felt when kara broke.]

I'm sorry.

[unfriendliest]

[ ...no, that isn't what he wants. ]

Don't be sorry.

[ don't leave, his heart adds, but that isn't something kara can ask. he doesn't know what shess has waiting, but he won't keep someone from their home, or their duty, whatever that may be. ]

Will you at least message us? Or visit the citadels.

[nonbelligerent]

[he smiles wryly.]

You actually want people bothering you? I would've been amazed weeks ago.

[unfriendliest]

[ he frowns. stop calling him out! ]

I wouldn't mind it so much, with certain people.

[ the rest can fuck off though ]

[nonbelligerent]

[but who would he be if he didn't call kara out]

Haha.

... Well, I can't promise any visits, but I'll try and send messages when I have time.
