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 EXTRA PROMPT NOW THAT TRAVERSE IS A BULLY AND BB LUDGER IS WANDERING

[autocatalysis]

[ this is julius. this is julius, a little harried looking as he rushes from place to place in the village and asks anyone who has a moment: ]

-- Sorry, but have you seen a kid about [ puts hand low because 7 year olds are short ] this tall, with silver hair wandering around?

[ hELP ]

[omegathree]

[Val is here with a... prinny? There's a walking talking prinny at his feet.]

No. I take it he's your charge?

["Do you need help looking for a kid, dood?"]

[autocatalysis]

He is, and it would be appreciated, yes.

[ ... The penguin talks. ]

Just to make sure, this isn't the same as the one you were carrying the entire time here, right?

[omegathree]

This one is different. It has a soul stitched into it.

["Tell me where to look, dood!"]

[autocatalysis]

Somewhere in the village. He knows better than to go outside- the highroads back home are home to dangerous monsters.

... Also, how exactly does one stitch a soul into a toy?

[omegathree]

[The prinny scurries off to look for a child.]

It's not a toy, it's a prinny skin. They're designed to take the souls of sinners.

not here

[unclocked]

[ UEHEHEHEHE ]

[autocatalysis]

[ you're a menace and there is no way he didn't tell ludger not to talk to clowns ]

[unclocked]

[ um, what clown??? clowns have big red noses and squeaky shoes, duh ]

[specialdog]

[ Akane shakes her head. ]

Do you need help looking?

[ Wow she's so kind and generous to even offer?? Amazing??? ]

[autocatalysis]

Please. I'd appreciate it. He should still be in the village since I wasn't gone for that long, but beyond that...

[ option a is that they just missed each other and that ludger came through while julius wasn't around the portal for some reason, then julius went through and came IMMEDIATELY back when he realized where it took him and what was missing, and option b is that he already had his run in with ludger above, then told him to stay put as he went and grabbed something real quick, and ludger didn't stay put. both are funny but I can't decide. ]

[specialdog]

Things are pretty lively with all these portals opening, now...

But at least it's not dangerous, anymore.

[ Since Julius seems. Stressed. There's no corruption, so it's fiiiiine. Clowns excluded. ]

[autocatalysis]

Define dangerous, because I'm pretty sure Valvatorez's portal is still here, and I distinctly remember him saying that his home is inhospitable to humans?

[ if anyone thought julius was fussy before boy they didn't, know a thing, ]

[specialdog]

Good point... You think he'd stray that far?

[ How disobedient is this child... And why wouldn't they stick with Julius!!! can't relate ]

[tothemaxwell]

We have not.

[this is not a royal we

jude is also here]

Did your brother also come through the portal?

[autocatalysis]

It shouldn't even have happened if they were meant to drop us back off where we left off, but yes!

[ wait what do you mean we ]

Someone else came through for you too, then?

[tothemaxwell]

Yes. Jude came through the portal. [she indicates him with a finger, although doesn't comment any further on his appearance!]

How did you lose your brother so quickly? It seems as though you would be watching him like a wyvern.

[autocatalysis]

I told him to stay put; he's normally a very compliant child? [ and then he's rambling: ] I only had a few things to take care of very quickly at the armory, but as soon as I came back outside he was gone.

[ so what, was he supposed to take the larva into the place with sharp weapons everywhere??? ]

[tothemaxwell]

Human children are rarely compliant, Julius—even less so than human adults.

Why didn't you take him with you? I'm sure he would have liked to see the village's weaponry.

[sedulitas]

[ honestly, he's probably not too far away from milla... ]

No, I haven't seen anyone by that description. Any idea where you might have last seen him?

[autocatalysis]

The boutique. We went together, but I lost track of him for a moment and then I couldn't find him at all, afterward.

[ have you seen this child, he was last seen disappearing into the clothing racks at Macy's and then we never saw him again. ]

[evoltlution]

[Here's yet another kid with silver hair walking around, sorry, Julius. Your princess is in another castle.]

[Killua squints at him, bemused.] I'm gonna take a wild guess--it's not me you're looking for.

[autocatalysis]

Ah. [ princess is in another castle, indeed... ] Apologies, no- here I thought silver hair was uncommon enough to be a decent identifying factor, but obviously I was mistaken.

Who are you here for?

[evoltlution]

[Pulling a face at that question.]

I'm not here for him, but--Hisoka. Creepy guy with red hair, wears face paint?

[He's preeeetty sure that Hisoka's distinct enough that even a short description like that should be recognizable.]

[autocatalysis]

My condolences.

[ said how most people would say 'ugh' ]

Simply leaving him alone wasn't an option for you, I'm guessing?
