mingle: farewell

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.

Because of the whole screaming breakdown you had?
forefall: (but is it not enough)

[personal profile] forefall 2019-08-05 03:48 am (UTC)(link)
[ ... ]

Yes. I know it didn't help anything.

[ But she felt justified. Not that it makes her a good person in any way, but she's sticking to feeling justified. ]

[personal profile] foodbin 2019-08-05 03:50 am (UTC)(link)
[She tilts her head.]

Would you do it again if you had a redo?
forefall: (that you are a semblance)

[personal profile] forefall 2019-08-05 04:04 am (UTC)(link)
... Which do you mean?

[ She needs clarification. ]

If you had another chance to react to what happened in that trial... Do you think there would be as much screaming this time?
forefall: (a funereal urn awaiting a few tears)

[personal profile] forefall 2019-08-05 04:21 am (UTC)(link)
I don't like losing control.

[ That's honest. She doesn't like flying off the handle. It just happens because sometimes, she represses too much. ]

If I could stop it, I would.

[ Undertow would be great for Four. ]

[...]

This is going to sound like I'm just being an asshole, and I promise I'm not, but... You ever thought about going somewhere that has therapy?
forefall: (emptier and deeper than you are)

[personal profile] forefall 2019-08-05 08:42 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Emma is right and should say it, but the type of therapy she means probably doesn't exist as a concept in Drakengard 3. ]

What kind of therapy do you mean?
foodbin: (pic#13146164)

[personal profile] foodbin 2019-08-06 02:42 am (UTC)(link)
The kind from a licensed mental health professional...?

[She knows the chances of Four realizing what that means are slim, but.]
forefall: (that you are a semblance)

[personal profile] forefall 2019-08-07 04:05 am (UTC)(link)
[ Yeah, sorry, Emma. There's just a confused stare. ]

Licensed...?

[ what's a mental health professional ]
foodbin: (pic#13146168)

[personal profile] foodbin 2019-08-07 05:21 am (UTC)(link)
Right, you're from - a very long time ago.

[She catches herself before she says the dark ages this time, at least.]

Like... Someone to talk about your feelings with, who helps you feel better?
forefall: (emptier and deeper than you are)

[personal profile] forefall 2019-08-07 05:24 am (UTC)(link)
... There's someone who does that professionally?

[ That sounds fake. ]
foodbin: (pic#13146172)

[personal profile] foodbin 2019-08-07 05:28 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah. It's not cheap, but...

[She pauses, frowning.]

I'm guessing they don't have anything like that where you're from. Maybe you could visit somewhere that does have it...?
forefall: (a funereal urn awaiting a few tears)

[personal profile] forefall 2019-08-08 02:05 am (UTC)(link)
What place would?

[ So that's an affirmative that her world doesn't have anything like that, but does she even want to try this out.... ]

[personal profile] foodbin 2019-08-08 04:27 pm (UTC)(link)
Somewhere modern...? Or, modern to me, I guess.

[She frowns slightly.]

So, worlds like mine, probably North's, Kaoru's, maybe Minato's...
forefall: (but is it not enough)

[personal profile] forefall 2019-08-09 01:22 am (UTC)(link)
I'll consider it.

[ She would end up killing any therapist. ]
