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.

I didn't say anything.

[ :) ]

[unfriendliest]

You were thinking it.

[preowned]

Eh... but can't I be happy for you?

[unfriendliest]

What's there to be happy about? It's just another goodbye.

[ ugh ]

[preowned]

I'm allowed to me happy about the progress that you made! Mitsu-bou would agree with me if he were with us.

[unfriendliest]

[ he starts walking faster ]

[preowned]

Kara-bou?!

[ RUNS AFTER HIM ]

[unfriendliest]

Mitsutada should be around somewhere, if you want to talk to him.

[ but please stop bugging kara about this it's embarrassing ]

[preowned]

... it'll probably be best to wait until after the mission. I wouldn't want to accidentally say anything that's so surprising it'll throw everyone off too much.

[unfriendliest]

...It's really not that big of a deal.

[ #offense ]

[preowned]

[ he keeps talking as if he didn't just hear kara's complaint ]

One of my only real regrets is not getting to know Shess better since he was such good friends with you and Mikazuki... ah well...

[ he wanted to know how one furry man could capture so many hearts ]

[unfriendliest]

...Shess watched your sword in the trial for me.

[ that's. really it. that and the cat hat were really all it took, and then shess seemed to want to keep helping him, for some reason?? weird. kara still doesn't understand it, because he knows he's not exactly a great friend or easy to work with. ]

[preowned]

You trusted him with that?

[ he sounds a little surprised, but that's less because of how kara is and just more because of

well, what their swords are. ]

[unfriendliest]

...Not really.

[ he barely knew the guy, of course he didn't want to leave tsuru with him?? ]

But I couldn't take you with me to talk to Mary, and he was the only one who knew about us at the time.

[preowned]

Still... it's rather surprising to hear that.

[ he's not entirely sure how he feels about it but it worked out for the best so tsuru can't say it's a bad thing. ]

[unfriendliest]

It's not like I wanted to leave you.

[ he's grumbling about it as they step back through the gateway and into the village ]

Talking to Mary with a weapon drawn wasn't working. Someone had to talk to her without scaring her to get any answers. Otherwise, I wouldn't have left you with anyone else.

...He didn't touch you, at least.

[ kara would have killed him without hesitation if he did haha ]

[preowned]

[ ... wait.

he gives kara a curious look. ]

You were the one who spoke to her?

[unfriendliest]

...Yeah. Did she tell you about that?

[preowned]

[ he shakes his head ]

I don't know anything about what happened during the trial.

She only apologized to me, and then we moved on to something else.

[unfriendliest]

...I'm glad you didn't have to see it.

[ he's not exactly proud of having talked a little girl into framing herself as a murderer ]

[preowned]

I actually wondered at first why didn't we immediately reach the other plane when we died, since I would have liked to watch my trial... but after a while I think I understood a little bit.

[ it would have been really frustrating to see people be very wrong about your murder.

but also in tsuru's case, he would have been completely alone so ha ha. ]

[unfriendliest]

We solved yours without a lot of trouble, at least.

[ and kara hated it every step of the way, thanks! ]

Not everyone could say that.

[preowned]

The trials were... interesting to watch.

[ he taps his chin ]

But I suppose my perspective is different from everyone else's, since I never participated in one.

[unfriendliest]

[ he makes a face ]

That's one way to put it.

[preowned]

[ he laughs, quietly, like he's not sure if he actually finds it amusing or not ]

I'm sure it must have been an experience for you.
