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.

[ Unfortunate targets of affection is Naminé's problem, not his. Maybe he's avoiding Kara for her sake, so he doesn't come back later and swear vengeance on whoever driped seawater all over his kitchen.

But okay, off they go! It's honestly been so long, he remembers nothing about the first portal besides vague memories of being passed out on the casino floor. Kitchen is... this way? ]

Oh... Freezer's dangerous. Careful not to get trapped inside.

[whitewalls]

Did you get stuck in it before?

[ this just sounds like something minato would do so she accepts it as canon. ]

[compendiem]

Haha, yeah. I almost died.

[whitewalls]

[ ....

she kisses his hand. ]

Again...

[compendiem]

[ His hand tastes like salt water. Bitter and salty. It's kind of gross. ]

At least it was "almost" again... We survived all sorts of things together, right?

[whitewalls]

[ her mouth already tastes like salt water because she had a mouthful of it, so it's fine ]

... we were pretty busy here, yes.

[compendiem]

Yeah.

[ Were they busy...? All Minato remembers doing is sleeping a lot, talking to people, and having a good time. It was a two month extended vacation, in which he cried a little towards the end but he's blocked that out by now, so he's a bit dejected to know that it'll have to come to a close.

One more adventure for the road, then.

He quickly finds what he needs from the kitchen, making sure he's positioned to block Naminé's view because it works best as a surprise, and then starts going through the pantry to see if there's any bread, maybe stale bagels or something. ]

Hm... flour can catch on fire, right?

[whitewalls]

[ she has many concerns, but also what are the chances of them dying on the literal last day here?

... probably high, actually, but she'll ignore that and instead focus on his rather alarming question. ]

Possibly, yes

[compendiem]

Cool.

[ He goes ahead and tucks an unopened bag of flour under his arm and holds his hand out to Naminé ]

Let's go find North.

[whitewalls]

[ she looks at the bag of flour

then at him ]

How are you going to make me cry again?

[compendiem]

Secret.

[ He lets his hand hang in the air. ]

[whitewalls]

[ she has a lot of concerns

but she's going to take his hand anyway. ]

I see.

[compendiem]

[ (:

It's fine.

They exit the kitchen and return to the village to go find North. ]

Hopefully she hasn't escaped yet...

[whitewalls]

I think people seem to be sticking around a bit just to talk... there's some unfamiliar faces around.

[ which is a little weird, honestly, after weeks of seeing the same people. ]

[compendiem]

Unfamiliar... Oh. You mean Tsurumaru? He was there at the start. You might've just forgotten.

[whitewalls]

Oh, no. I know of him. He kept breaking into Roxas' house.

[compendiem]

[ Minato nods slowly ]

I would too.

[whitewalls]

I lived with him during the last week, so thank you for not breaking in then.

[compendiem]

I would've been stealthy and quiet. You wouldn't even know I was there.

[whitewalls]

I think I would have noticed.

[compendiem]

Are you tired? Do you want to go home and take a nap?

[whitewalls]

Do you want to break into the house while I'm sleeping?

[compendiem]

Yes.

[whitewalls]

But it'll be hard for me to fall asleep if I already know you're planning to do that...

[compendiem]

Do your best...
