FAREWELL | THE FINAL DAY

[divus]

DAWN OF THE FINAL DAY

Morning dawns bright and early on the group's final day in the temple. The early risers are free to move about as they please - but around midmorning, those who are still sleeping will be gently roused from their slumber, and everyone will find themselves drawn to the courtyard for once final announcement.

All of the living gods - plus Patience - are there, and they wait for the entire group to assemble before the announcement begins. Patience herself is the one who bears the scroll of the final tally and unfurls it, reading it out for everyone to hear in a high, clear voice. With each word she speaks, the text etches itself onto the polished white stone columns that line the courtyard, displaying the following:

PIETY: 11 FOLLOWERS
AMBITION: 5 FOLLOWERS
PATIENCE: 5 FOLLOWERS
LOVE: 3 FOLLOWERS
JUSTICE: 2 FOLLOWERS
INDULGENCE: 1 FOLLOWER
BEAUTY: 0 FOLLOWERS
CUNNING: 0 FOLLOWERS
DISORDER: 0 FOLLOWERS
MERRIMENT: 0 FOLLOWERS
SINCERITY: 0 FOLLOWERS
FORTUNE: DISQUALIFIED, IMMORTALITY UNCERTAIN
RUIN: DISQUALIFIED, IMMORTALITY ENSURED

...and just like that, it's over. A sense of certainty settles over everyone present - Piety has become the new leader of the pantheon.

He doesn't quite look surprised, not after the group's discussion the day before. He does look determined. With a smile, he addresses everyone gathered there. "Thank you for believing in me," he says, short and simple and to the point. And then he looks to the other gods - they have promises to keep.

The gods nod, and they all concentrate.

One by one, the participants that died during the competition begin to appear in the courtyard, in reverse order - Zoe appears first, and Shiki appears last. The process repeats itself with the two dead gods: after Shiki, Ruin appears, and a few moments later, so does Fortune. Ruin strides forward to take her place among the gods, and Fortune glances at the words etched on the columns before doing the same.

Sincerity speaks up then. "You did it, everyone. We're gonna give you a chance to say your goodbyes, of course - and to have a good time. We've got a banquet set up in the dining hall for anyone who's hungry. There'll be food there throughout the day. And, like... some of you didn't get to see all of the areas we made." He waves a hand, and the two doors for the east and west wings seem to duplicate themselves, dotting the walls with a total of thirteen doors. "Spend some time with everyone before you take off. Have some fun."

However, all things must eventually come to an end. At the very end of the day, as the sun is beginning to set and everyone has had a chance to spend some time with each other and say their goodbyes, the group finds themselves gathered at the temple's entrance, staring down at the steps that descend down into the clouds.

"When you're ready to go, just walk down the stairs," Ambition explains. "If any of you really don't want to remember this, you won't remember it once you make it through the clouds. By the time you get home, any of you that got a wish should see it take effect. ...and you don't necessarily have to go back to your own world, either. Walking down those doors will take you to wherever you want to be. If you want to go home with someone else, do it."

...as people are leaving, though, she looks through the crowd until her gaze rests on one person in particular.

"Catra," she adds. "Since you were alive for the final tally... you have one last choice to make. If you choose to stay here, you can take Fortune's place in the pantheon, if you want." She pauses, letting the implications of that sink in. "Think about it, and make your choice. If you go home, Fortune will regain her place as a god. If you stay, she'll become mortal again and go back to her own world."

TALK TO AMBITION

[beeingnice]

[usogi]

[well. he absolutely has to see her, even if he's admittedly just a smidgen nervous. he seems to be holding something behind his back]

... Hey Bambi. Or... well, Chloe, right?

[can you believe he hasn't called her by her name all game]

TALK TO BEAUTY

[sophistications]

[goatsongs]

[look he trusted no god besides Sincerity at that point??]

TALK TO CUNNING

[chiseler]

[usogi]

[it's unfortunate that he is hot.

but senri will be waving a hand as he walks over. he's carrying something in his hand!]

Yo.

TALK TO DISORDER

[bulldozed]

[goatsongs]

Finding out you were a teenager explained so much.

[uncoincidental]

[bakaomi]

Hey.

TALK TO INDULGENCE

[oldgroove]

[haw]

[ he approaches indulgence and bows deeply, keeping his head down until he's addressed. ]

TALK TO JUSTICE

[toerr]

[moralmyopia]

[Henlo.

He's here, not with uno eye anymore, and a shockingly soft and subdued smile on his face.]

TALK TO LOVE

[pseudonyms]

[covenantal]

[ Once he makes it to her he'll actually pick her up and swing her around, beaming, before setting her down and hugging her tight so he can brush a brief kiss to her cheek. ]

Proud of you.

TALK TO MERRIMENT

[alittlefuninstead]

[goatsongs]

...It's a little late, but. The fuck was with that hole.

[fragileprophet]

[dupelicate]

...You did it.

[Soft, and full of pride.]

[selfsufficiency]

[bakaomi]

[boyprincess]

[goatsongs]

I missed you. I owe you a drink and karaoke, right?

TALK TO PATIENCE

[pregnantpause]

[haw]

[ really fuckin hoping she didn't hear him call her an old lady yesterday ]

So who was the catfish?

[ritualization]

[so here's a fun thing for everyone: once people are healed? ishi's standing there, left holding something.

he's got a second left hand in his. hands. boy this is hard to word so don't @ me. it looks real enough at first except for the fact that it's detached? but if you look closer it is definitely fake!

he blinks down at it, raising his free hand to cover his mouth with his sleeve.]

Ah. I suppose I won't be needing that anymore, will I...?

[goatsongs]

You could take it home as a macabre souvenir.

[if you wanted to. for some reason.]

[goatsongs]

[Chuuya smells significantly less like alcohol than he did while he was around the first time, so that's something. He also has a stack of letters and drawings in his hands.

He's seeking out his children CR children and people he has to apologize to first (Majima...) but after that?

Of course he's in the bookstores in Love and Sincerity's wings.]

Can we take some of these home?

[him being a nerd is probably a better introduction than his kids are going to get, which is the tackle hug.

alternatively: positive cr child/teenager, you're getting the tackle hug now]

[heartmunculus]

[Sieg gets crashed into and thus goes right down.]

Chuuya!

[whirlingmace]

[ Cinque is inspecting the doors and if anyone approaches, she bound right over and offer her hand. ]

Let's go on one last adventure!

[ She will pick a door at random too.

Later, she can be found eating cake in Patience's Wing and drinking tea. ]

[goatsongs]

You're not tired of adventure after all that?

[he'll still take her hand, though.]

[requiemed]

[As the recently dead enter the area, Zoe checks in with one particular person before anyone else, but after that... As tired as she looks, she also looks fairly content as she looks around the room. Anyone she knows and is on good terms with gets a broad smile and a wave as she approaches them.]

Hey. It's been a while.

[As casual as she tries to make it sound, her voice betrays just how happy she is to be able to see them in person again. She’ll explore the wings and enjoy the banquet, but... Reunions are in order first.]

[usogi]

[you'll have to excuse him.

he's immediately going to run for her and wrap his arms around her in a close, tight hug, as if nothing really manages to beat the fact that he gets to see her again. he's not actually sure if he can get his voice to work the way he wants it to, so she'll just have to settle for this hug first.

there's no attempt at casual here]

[tootsiepop]

option a: locked to zoe (requiemed).

[If you're hoping to speak to Connor immediately after the gods are done addressing them — you're out of luck. As soon as they're free to get their goodbyes in, Connor is going to be nyoooooming the fuck past everyone, intent on reaching one person and one person only. It's when he has them in his sights that he stops, hesitating, before he steps forward and calls out—]

—Zoe!

[Don't try to get in his way because he will yeet. That's his emotional support human, bitch?????????????????]

option b: everyone not zoe. :/

[After his reunion with Zoe, Connor will finally take the time to seek out those who he befriended during his time here... or anyone he was on friendly terms with, really. Regardless of where they are, he'll approach them with polite smile and an incline of his head.]

Hello.

[Fondly. Feelings maybe weren't a mistake, after all.

For everyone else, Connor will acknowledge them with a curt nod. Hello.]

curt nod

[goatsongs]

[Hello, Connor, he still doesn't like you either but-]

If you're bad to Zoe I'll track you down in the multiverse and make you regret it.

[that's his niece now.]

[nosediving]

[After the announcement, Shang Qinghua sinks to the ground and bursts into tears.

Later, he can be spotted returning a couple of items he had borrowed. The pen goes back to the study; the sword, to the armory. Afterward, he sits in front of a computer in the laboratory, staring at the screen.]

[goatsongs]

[Crying brick... Chuuya is the wrong person to deal with this.]

...Do you want me to get you a tissue.

[covenantal]

[ So like, first of all. He has his hair slicked back today for some awful mcfucking reason. He looks great? Please kill him.

But if he gets a chance, he'll address everyone with a short bow and a crooked smile. ]

... thank you all for taking care of me, and for looking after Rise, too.

[ That's just how he is. Also he has a basket of cookies for everyone, I guess, so like, feel free. He'll offer them to anyone who asks and also anyone who doesn't ask.

After that, he'll seek out his friends among the dead, anyone he was familiar with probably getting a hug or at least a touch to the elbow; he's missed them all a lot. He'll spend at least a little time in Love's wing, as well as Patience's. And of course, he'll mingle with the living, too, even if they're all finding out SOME SHIT about each other at this incredibly late juncture. Pretty much no matter what, he doesn't seem to hold absolutely anyone any ill will.

But he spends most of his day by Rise's side, as much as he can manage it. ]

... it's pretty amazing. Despite everything, we somehow ... managed to make all of this work out, one way or another. [ a beat. ] Mostly. [ CATRA. ]

[goatsongs]

I haven't eaten for a month, do you know how much I want to eat that whole basket.

[...he'll only take one cookie, though.]

[hymned]

a: courtyard;

[ well, so all the temporarily dead are here now. there's probably certain people who want to chase him down first, but after that, as wan and tired looking as he is, he probably keeps to the edges of the courtyard to give everyone space for their tearful reunions.

still, anyone who approaches gets a polite, warm smile and a nod of acknowledgment. ]

b: wildcard option;

[ well he's somewhere in the temple, pick your poison. or throw me a starter. maybe he's perched on a high place humming or singing again, one last melody for the road before i go to make traverse personally kill me. ]

b

[goatsongs]

How the hell do you get up that high. I've seen you do it and I still don't understand.

[priorities.]

[catraclysm]

a, the only real option

[ if anyone wants to talk to the cat, she's hanging out on top of Something wherever you are looking? she'll greet a few people with a wave, but otherwise she's just... humming ]

Well, this was a learning experience.

[ she has learned nothing. ]

b; because the announcement of her cat crimes only happens when everyone has finished saying goodbye according to the write up so--

[ she seems very casual about being outed as a god murderer. The Original, if you will. ]

Thanks, but no thanks. I've got better things to do, and this god thing you guys have got going on has been... super dumb. [ so dumb. anyway, she waves at entrapta ] C'mon, let's go. Eternia isn't going to conquer itself.

[ and that's how the cat canonly absconds from anyone calling her out bye ]

a

[goatsongs]

Hey.

[she sure is tall, he has to crane his neck a little]

Did you like the books?

[psynergy]

[A- Courtyard]

[Alex...really seems to have no reaction whatsoever to the results, or all he dead people coming back, or anything really. But he's here if you want to try to talk to him! I'll have him answer, but I can't promise he'll tell you what you want him to.]

[B- Winging It]

[Alex can definitely be found checking out stuff in Fortune's wing again. And staring at Venus Lighthouse. It's also probably a good idea to try talking to him now.]

[C- Wildcard]

[Or if you want to run into him anywhere else/do anything else, just comment with it or let's discuss then do it!]

[digestif]

[ Mizuki stays in the courtyard rather than venturing out into any of the wings. This place is fine. In fact, they linger there for a long time - even when others start leaving, they're one of the people that stays. And while they wear their friendly smile for everyone who approaches, there's a somber air about them that's hard to ignore.

There's a lot of work they still have left to do. Did their wish actually get granted? They're not sure what that will mean for them when they go back to Japan. They're sitting down somewhere, fiddling with the silvery bracelet on their wrist; it's displaying a holographic blue screen a few inches above the jewel. ]

... I wonder if this will actually work?

(majima option)

[ of course, they have to talk to Majima. There's a lot to talk about. A lot both of them have been trying to avoid talking about -- but there's no way around it when it's right in front of them.

They find him easily enough, and when they do, they hold out a single cupcake in his direction - the same batch as the ones they'd offered Tamaki. This one's decorated differently, though - it's a little messy, but a black eyepatch has been piped onto the frosting. Silly. But what is Mizuki if not a little bit silly? They'd told him as much. ]

Goro-kun. It's a little early, but happy birthday.

[goatsongs]

Mizuki!

[Chuuya plops down next to them in the courtyard.]

Beautiful as ever.

[in_a_bottle]

[Ai looks... different from when you last saw her alive. She's bandaged up tightly like her corpse was, with greyish-blue skin barely visible. Her eyes are a deeper red and look sunken, and she's sticking a detached arm up her sleeve and reattaching it back on. If she sees someone who wasn't in the graveyard with her, she takes a deep breath and waves cautiously.]

Sorry.

[goatsongs]

...it's too bad I can't introduce you to your siblings here.

[he'd really been hoping for that.]
