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.

[whitewalls]

... yeah.

[ for once, she's actually excited what the future might hold for herself, instead of what it means for everyone else. ]

I think so.

[drivingforce]

Then I'm glad to hear it. [There's a soft smile.] Home wouldn't exactly be the same without you.

[whitewalls]

[ she just blinks



give her a moment, naminé isn't sure how to respond to that ]

[drivingforce]

[Hm. Kairi also blinks but for a different reason.]

What's wrong?

[whitewalls]

... thank you.

[ it's said quietly ]

[drivingforce]

[Oh...]

For what? Did I do something different?

[whitewalls]

[ she shakes her head ]

No, it's just nice to hear it from you.

[drivingforce]

[That just makes her smile, unsure of what exactly Naminé's thinking, but...well. She's still important regardless of what she remembers or what may or may not have happened.]

It's just the truth, but I'm glad it makes you happy.

[whitewalls]

[ kairi is nice and i'm glad no one told naminé that she was temporarily dead ]

Do you want to look around?

[drivingforce]

[There are just some things nobody needs to know, it's fine. But there's a nod shortly after the question's posed.]

Sure. It'd be nice to see what you guys have been up to anyway. Where should we start?

[whitewalls]

I can show you around the village. The farm is nice.

[ kairi can see all of the hats that namine put on animals.... ]

[drivingforce]

Yeah? [There's a laugh.] Where are you guys hiding a farm in this place? That seems hard to miss. [Because like. The village itself seems compact to her. Please show her all of the animals, Naminé.]

[whitewalls]

[ ha ha

but she'll nods ]

Come with me.

[ adventure time ]

[drivingforce]

[Adventure time indeed. She'll fall into step with her, head turning this way and that to get a better view of everything around her.]

Did you know about this place before you came here?

[whitewalls]

[ she shakes her head. ]

None of us did, we were all just brought here. We're actually not really sure if this place even existed before our arrival, or if it was made specifically a purpose.

[drivingforce]

Like a brand new world? [It's entirely possible, given, but at the same time there are a lot of people here she doesn't recognize at all.] Is it possible that it'll disappear when we all leave then?

[whitewalls]

I think we can come back here, so apparently not.

Although for a while we weren't sure what would happen to this place

[drivingforce]

We'll have to make sure we come back and make sure it's okay then. Just in case. Who knows where else this world could lead?

[whitewalls]

[ she nods ]

I'd like to continue to keep an eye on it... just in case.

[drivingforce]

We'll borrow one of the gummiships and bring it back here so we always have a road open. [There's apparently no argument to be had here. If it's important to Naminé, then that's all there is to it. If it's important to all of them that have been here, who is she to argue?]

It shouldn't be hard now.

[whitewalls]

[ she nods her head, because she still has never once considered that they can't get here their normal way. that's just how it be when your universe already has a worldhopping option ]

It'll probably take some time to show you everything, anyway. You can't really explore all of the gateways thoroughly in a day...

[drivingforce]

There's really that many of them? [She's just focused on following her to the farm at this rate, she hadn't thought about just how many gateways could have opened in this centralized region.] What's your favorite one?

[whitewalls]

My favorite...?

[ she has to really think about it... before she would have said the one with the circus, except minato exploded there so now it's further down the list. ]

There's this one place with a really large castle. I think it might be a school?

[drivingforce]

[Please tell your Other about Minato. But anyway...]

A castle? [She's definitely thinking, like, Radiant Garden's castle.] What kind of school would be inside a castle?

[whitewalls]

[ how do you tell someone about minato without ending up in an intervention for your taste in men ]

It was kind of... magical? Some of the things reminded me of Merlin's place.
