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.

[ huh.......

that wasn't a real answer and he's squinting. ]

I see.

[unsaid]

[you can't get jiji to pick a favorite

that said]

Though there is something special about being able to enjoy tea with you especially.

[there u go, tsuru]

[preowned]

[ tsuru is too fucking easy because he immediately perks up at that? he's going to happily sip at his tea ]

Really? How kind of you to say so.

[ as if he wasn't just fishing for compliments but it's fine ]

[unsaid]

Ha ha ha, I only reaffirm the truth that you must already know.

[and the thing is that tsurumaru won't be giving flowers to jiji any time soon - but when he raises his hand next, there's another gardenia sitting in the palm of his hand]

You are my special person, after all.

[they're never going to let go of the terms they learned here]

[preowned]

[ ah... his gaze lands on the flower, and something that only occurred a few weeks ago shouldn't make him feel this nostalgic, but it does.

he'll move a little closer, and the hand that isn't holding his tea goes to cup mikazuki's face. ]

And you are mine, Mikazuki Munechika. For as long as I remain unbroken, my heart belongs to you.

[unsaid]

[full circle right back to face touching. but mikazuki's gaze will just soften at that as he leans into tsuru's hand, and moves to tuck the flower back behind his ear like he did so long ago.

and easily:]

Then I will simply have to ensure that you are not broken any time soon.

[that's it

that's the only hint tsuru's getting that jiji has no plans of letting him wander off to badend quietly]

[preowned]

[ ... ah

there's a pause at that, as he has to... quietly reconsider some of his plans on how to exit here. but it doesn't show on his expression at least, and he'll lean forward to give mikazuki a kiss, one that lasts just a little longer than a regular chaste kiss. ]

Mm. I do like attention.

[unsaid]

[jiji is going to be waiting by that portal no matter what you funky little bird.

but he will take the kiss rather easily, and we need to avoid having them make out in kara's kitchen. still, mikazuki lets his fingers rest at the curve of tsuru's jaw as his expression softens]

So you do.

I hope you do not mind if I continue to look after you for a bit longer still.

[preowned]

... well, I did say I enjoy attention, but I especially prefer it when it's from you.

[ even if he'll try to run away.

because if things go poorly, he doesn't want mikazuki to see it happen. ]

[unsaid]

I would hope so - perhaps then I would have to find someone to compete with?

[he pulls back but like

only just enough so he can drink his tea]

[preowned]

[ he has to think about it..... ]

Unfortunately, I don't think there's anyone who'd be fighting you for my attention here.

[ why does he sound bummed about that ]

[unsaid]

[sdlkj]

Ha ha ha - then I suppose that I shall wait for that moment.

If there is anything that might take you from me, I intend to step in.

[preowned]

Really? I'd want to see that.

[ please stop hoping for a love triangle just because it sounds like it'll be fun ]

[unsaid]

Ha ha ha, I suppose we shall see.

[why did they learn a monogamy

where's four]

[preowned]

[ please don't summon four i'm still scared

but he takes another sip of his tea before setting it on the counter. despite threatening to spill tea earlier, he doesn't want to ruin his outfit ]

Mm. People did think you were taken by Lea.

[unsaid]

[it's just for the aesthetic

that said]

You certainly had your fun with him.

[he thought it was so fuckin funny]

[preowned]

I regret not sending him messages, but it's not like he sent me any.

[ tsuru plays favorites and he can never be a npc

granted he did eventually send tsuru some but it was very late at that point so rip ]

[unsaid]

He is certainly more fun to fluster in person.

[but tsuru acting like jiji didn't have favorites.... well, probably not to the extent that tsuru did at least

but he will lean forward to kiss the tip of tsuru's nose]

Like someone else I can think of.

[preowned]

[ ah

he scrunches his nose up. ]

Who?

[unsaid]

Shess.

[preowned]

[ he takes mikazuki's tea away from him ]

[unsaid]

[ah.]

Surprise?

[how does he get his tea back]

[preowned]

Shess seems like he'd be difficult to fluster.

[ he's just continuing the conversation as if he isn't holding the tea hostage ]

[unsaid]

I told him I liked the sound of his voice.

[it wasn't flirting.

but he does sound proud of himself

at this point he's probably just thinking that it's funny when tsuru gets jealous]

[preowned]

[ ha ha

he drinks some of jiji's tea ]

Do you?
