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.

[ He nailed something.

Four has given up on a lot of things, but that he thinks she hasn't is just like him. Every time they're similar is striking. Every time they're not is blinding.

She's blinded right now. For all that he's told her, it's still beyond what she expected.

The force field disappears, and she gestures for him to come closer. ]

I'll only keep you for a second more.

[compendiem]

[ Minato looks curious but is compliant, unnecessarily stepping all the way around the space where the barrier had already disappeared because he doesn't know this, before stopping in front of Four. ]

[forefall]

[ He really is out here to be taken advantage of by anyone. She shakes her head before she gets on her tiptoes and presses a very quick, very chaste kiss to his cheek.

She steps back. ]

You may go.

[compendiem]

[ Minato pauses for a moment, and presses a fairly long, not chaste kiss to her lips, because Ara is mean to me ]

[forefall]

[ I'M GOING TO MURDER YOU

IT'S NOT THAT LONG because even though Four is completely stunned (THAT'S HER FIRST KISS, YOU ASSHOLE), as soon as she registers what's happening, she puts her hands on him and flips him onto the ground.

She has her Intoner strength back, so it's more of a throw. A yeet.

Fucking bye, Minato. ]

How DARE you—

[compendiem]

[ Here lies Minato with possibly broken ribs and spine and it hurts even more because he just starts laughing. His originally plan banked on Four being stunned long enough that he could flee into his portal before she could do anything, but that didn't work out for him.

So instead, he's laughing. ]

Now you won't ever forget me, right?

[ LIKE AN ASSHOLE ]

[forefall]

[ IT WON'T HAVE BROKEN ANYTHING. Bruised, sure. Fucking heal yourself, Minato.

She's scandalized. HE HAS LIKE FIVE OTHER LOVE INTERESTS. She's screaming inside her head as she touches her lips. ]

You ASSHOLE. How could you do that to me? I wasn't going to forget you, but now I want to!

[ AHHHHHHHHHHHHH ]

[compendiem]

[ He melted his Evoker so he can't even heal himself RIP

Everything feels broken, though, so he just continues to lie down on the ground and stair at the sky. He really can't remember the last time he laugh this hard, or this long. It's why he loves Four so much; she gets him to feel. ]

'cause I love you.

[forefall]

[ Wow, wonder who made him melt his Evoker.

She crouches down and puts her hands over her head like she's trying to hide. As if that'd make her invisible or something. ]

You make me want to scream.

[compendiem]

.......I want to say something indecent in response to that, but you might actually kill me, then.

[forefall]

[ SHE ALREADY DID KILL HIM.

.... ]

Do you want to die a second time that much.

[compendiem]

[ He wasn't going to say it for this exact reason! He holds his hands up, but since he's lying flat on his back, it doesn't have the same effect that he was going for. ]

No. I promised I wouldn't run towards death anymore. That I'll give things a second shot.

[forefall]

[ what did he want to say ]

What made you change your mind?

[compendiem]

[ Don't worry about it. It's not PG. ]

Kazuaki.

[ After nine weeks of everybody saying everything and saying everything... yeah, it's because of his bird ]

[forefall]

[ as cursed as it probably is, i want to know ]

And how did he manage it?

[compendiem]

[ no....... it's [redacted] and exactly what [redacted] means to chat, I'm not typing this out ]

...He said he'll try living again too. If I do the same. We made that sort of promise.

[forefall]

[ coward ]

... Hm. [ She's not sure what she's feeling right now, so she represses it. ] All right. That's good for you.

[ Objectively, that's good for him to try to live. She knows it is. ]

[compendiem]

[ yeah ]

How about we make one too? A promise.

[ He holds his hand out to her. It means... something. ]

[forefall]

What kind of promise?

[ She's not taking his hand until she knows what it is. ]

[compendiem]

...If you adopt a dog, I'll eat a vegetable in your honor every day.

[forefall]

[ ... ]

No.

[compendiem]

I'll eat two vegetables.

[forefall]

It would be irresponsible of me to have a dog. No.

[compendiem]

You're a responsible person, though... Why not a dog?

[ Damn, he should have written for his wish to let everybody have a dog, not just Roxas. ]

[forefall]

My circumstances don't allow for it. It wouldn't be wise.

[ Even if her circumstances were better, she wouldn't want a dog. ]
