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.

[forefall]

[ Oh...

Her expression softens. ]

I'd love to meet her properly.

[ Even if... she doesn't care for chickens....... ugh. ]

We can spend some time with her.

[preowned]

It won't have to be for too long.

[ she doesn't seem like the type who would be too into hanging out on the farm, really

but he'll start to lead the way over there ]

[forefall]

[ She follows him. He's right about that, but what she ends up saying is: ]

I'm in no rush.

[ Introduce her to this chicken that is somehow better than all the rest. ]

[preowned]

You can pick what we do next then.

[ they can take turns!

but onward to the farm, where the best chicken is ]

[forefall]

[ To the farm! ]

Which one is... Bobchan...?

[ what's an honorific ]

[preowned]

She's the one with the... I believe it's called a cowboy hat?

[ ... ]

Although I guess they might have changed it. Apparently people were very excited about animal in hats after I broke.

[forefall]

[ Does she know what a cowboy is? She can guess. ]

I'm not... sure I understand the appeal, but I won't judge it.

[ She is secretly judging it. ]

That's one way to set her apart from the rest.

[preowned]

I just thought it was funny at first.

[ he easily admits to that

once the farm is in sight, he'll hold a hand out to her. ]

[forefall]

[ She's not surprised that he'd find it funny.

She looks at his hand and takes it after a moment's hesitation. ]

[preowned]

[ excellent

but he'll gently tug her along until they're near the chicken coop. there are many chickens, all with different hats, but only one dressed as a cowboy. tsuru points with his free hand. ]

There she is.

[forefall]

[ The worst thing about her power is that she can't even pretend she's bad with animals, but she nods and looks at Bob-chan closely. ]

Are all the other farm animals dressed like this...? [ It's an idle question, like she didn't use some farm animals to create tracks after murdering a horse. ]

She's a nice cowboy chicken. Will you visit her often, or....

[ Take her with? ]

[preowned]

It seems like someone went around dressing them, yes.

[ which was a surprise to see after coming back to this side.

at her question though, he gently squeezes her hand. ]

There are farm animals at the citadel. I told Kara-bou to pick her up.

[forefall]

Ookurikara?

[ And not him? Hm. ]

[preowned]

She's more used to him than me at this point.

[ which isn't a lie! ]

[forefall]

I don't think she'll care that much, as long as someone looks after her.

[ Or, like, at all. She's a chicken? They run around with their heads chopped off. ]

[preowned]

You think?

[ stop bob-chan is smart ]

If we're going to be moving her somewhere new, it might be easier if it's someone whose face she's seen around more...

[forefall]

It's what I think, but I won't convince you to take her if you don't want her.

[ She ultimately doesn't care, but he said the chicken made him happy. ]

It was a miracle Ookurikara's meteors missed her.

[preowned]

It was, wasn't it? The farm animals were untouched... perhaps it was jut far away enough from the village that it was fine?

[ he would say it was on purpose if kara hadn't said multiple times in trial that he couldn't control where they landed ]

[forefall]

Yes, that's probably it.

[ And then Four tugs at his hand. Can they go? ]

[preowned]

[ he gently gives her hand another squeeze ]

You pick where we go next, remember.

[forefall]

[ She smiles a little, and after a second, she squeezes his hand back. There's a small ache in her chest, which she ruthlessly ignores.

They're going to Hogwarts. She likes the blimp in Karneval world a lot, but she's pretty sure the robot sheep won't like her, if they can remember what happened. ]

One more memory, and then....

[preowned]

... we'll deal with that when we get to it.

[ his mission isn't going anywhere, so he doesn't mind stalling. ]

[forefall]

[ She asked about making multiple memories, but that was said to be dramatic and extra. Even if he doesn't mind stalling, she doesn't (and does) want to keep him too long. ]

I can't monopolize all your time.

[ There are other people here he probably has to say farewell to or spend time with. ]

[preowned]

I don't have too many friends here.

[ he'll admit that easily enough, because there's no point in pretending otherwise

and the ones he does, he'll make sure he sees before he leaves, if he hasn't run into them already. ]

What do you want to do?

[forefall]

[ Should she feel lucky that he doesn't have that many friends here? There's some conflicting emotions.

She points towards the sky with her free hand. ]

I want to find the highest point in that magical castle and reach it.
