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.

[maybe]

I did my part.

[unsaid]

... mm, so you did.

[even the parts that weren't easy, that others couldn't withstand. perhaps it's simply what comes of being the eldest here, but...

well, mikazuki was planning on taking his leave quietly. anyone who would wish to intercept him would. there would be no need for anyone to feel like they owe a goodbye to one of their hosts.

but while he's here....

he bows his head, just a bit]

I appreciate you, as always.

[nonbelligerent]

[...

he smiles softly.]

As do I, you.

[unsaid]

[well]

I hope you do not often say that to people who injure you.

[there's probably a 'sorry' in there somewhere]

[nonbelligerent]

You might be disappointed by the answer, then.

[sometimes friends just try to wreck each other, it's fine.]

Though I don't appreciate that many people either.

[unsaid]

[ . . . hmmm.

that manages to get him to laugh a little bit]

To spare such words for even someone like me...

[considering what a giant fucking mess the end was, and how he actually doesn't regret all that much of it]

Perhaps there is still more that I ought to learn from you.

[nonbelligerent]

You're fine as yourself, Mikazuki.

[unsaid]

[ . . . ]

Am I meant to hold onto all your kind words until we meet again?

You are being awfully direct today.

[it's not like they all just died or anything]

[nonbelligerent]

... Well, it's in case we don't.

[unsaid]

[a beat]

And why wouldn't we?

[nonbelligerent]

We will be going our separate ways, last I checked.

[unsaid]

Mm, certainly so.

At the very least, until fate, coincidence, or impulse will bring our paths together again.

[but he thinks of it very much as an inevitability]

[nonbelligerent]

Unless one of us is dead by then.

[just saying.]

But I guess we'll see what the future holds.

[unsaid]

As long as you are not in any particular hurry to meet your end, that is enough for me.

[he's also a time traveling cheater

so who can say if he won't try to cheat so shess sees him literally like a week from now when it's been hundreds of years for jiji]

[nonbelligerent]

[jiji why were you even being awkward if you were planning on visiting him anyway]

Well, surviving is apparently what I do best, so no, I'm not.

[unsaid]

[he stabbed him a few hours ago on top of killing some friends in front of him, he's not proud of any of it but like

the stab in particular]

Very good, very good.

Then I will not have to worry after you while we are apart.

[nonbelligerent]

[SHESS LITERALLY DOES NOT CARE ABOUT THE STAB AT ALL]

Of course not.

Though would you have?

[unsaid]

[JIJI DOES AND THAT'S THE FUNNY PART]

Ha ha ha, perhaps 'worry' is not quite the word...

But even after only such a short time, I have enjoyed your company. I am sure that I will look for it even after we have parted.

So I suppose you could say that I will simply miss your presence regardless.

[nonbelligerent]

Nine weeks really is a short amount of time... but yes. The sentiment is mutual.

[unsaid]

Even so -

We will see each other again, my friend. While I cannot say for certain when that will be...

I told you that even if I am to be gone, it will not be for long, didn't I?

[nonbelligerent]

[... ha.]

You did say that. I'd almost forgotten.

[unsaid]

[there’s just a smile at that, amused but - determined]

Then I shall have to remind you, as many times as it takes.

[nonbelligerent]

... That might be a bit overboard.

[that's a bad smile, mikazuki, please do not]

[unsaid]

I have been told that I do get persistent.

[he doesn’t sound like

he’s going to change his mind though]

[nonbelligerent]

[HE

JUST SIGHS]

I have witnessed your stubbornness before.
