( DEPARTURE )


SURVIVORS: 42

At 6:00 PM on the dot, everyone who has died during the ritual will awaken in their respective beds. Whole and unscathed, it would be far too easy to say that everything has been nothing but a fever dream. But the truth, as always, is far different from what the heart yearns for.

For the first time in five weeks, night falls over the City of Yuggoth.

The sun no longer hangs over your heads, its presence dark and oppressing. Instead, a soft, blue light shines down from the sky. It's not quite the moon, no. The Unclean's avatar is still visible in the sky, after all. But it's comforting. It's the promise of new beginnings, of newly forged bonds, and pacts that neither heaven nor hell are capable of tearing down. Does this singular moment in time make everything they've been through worth it? No, probably not. But this is the end. Their journey is over.

Now it's time for forty-one (41) individuals to choose their destination, while one (1) is left behind.

The unmarked room between the Kitchen (still wrecked — thanks, Tsurugi) and Laundry room is now open. Faceless men will be giving away baseball caps, pens, keychains and all the splendor of Yuggoth, as well as glossy photos taken throughout the ritual... for most, it will be a photo of their dead body and the manner in which they died. Yikes. A toy machine has also been left here, with a sign that reads TELEGRAM FUND: DEPOSIT YOUR CLUE TOKENS SO EVERYONE CAN CONTACT THEIR FRIENDS. THIS DOES NOT INCLUDE ANDERSEN, SO DON'T ASK. - ABIGAIL.

Manning the Curio Shop won't be the only duties the faceless men have been relegated to, however. They'll be hunting down everyone but the new facilitator in order to give them a bus ticket. The destination and time of departure will be blank upon initially receiving it, but as soon as one thinks of where they want to go? Both fields will be filled in, and will be adjusted accordingly if anyone has a last minute change of heart. It seems like, in the end, it's up to the residents to decide whether to return home or to catch a ride with one of their new friends.

Starting from 6:00 AM on Tuesday morning (a fact only discernible thanks to the Grandfather clocks, as the sun refuses to rise again), double decker buses will roll by the motel to pick residents up. There will be several buses, each one remaining at the entrance for fifteen minutes and the next one arriving after an hour long interval. Bus tickets will refuse to change after the first bus has arrived, so try not to be too indecisive lest you wish to remain in this realm or strike a deal with the Unclean.

On the bright side, there are at least two to four days before everyone has returned home. May as well get those final goodbyes over with, right?




It's a wrap, everyone! Thank you for the wild ride, and don't forget to check out the Love Meme and TL;CR Meme. You can use this post to thread out those last goodbyes.

What do you mean?
perceptions: the fratellis (Where the bodies are kept)

[personal profile] perceptions 2017-06-26 11:44 pm (UTC)(link)
You know what I mean.

Tsurugi, you and I came here voluntarily. We weren't like the rest of the players for that reason. But if you aren't going to take the Unclean's deal, why even come?
disinterested: (death seeker;)

[personal profile] disinterested 2017-06-26 11:45 pm (UTC)(link)
I can want things that don't involve permanently selling my soul or facilitating future murder rituals, you know.
perceptions: the fratellis (She's not gone yet)

[personal profile] perceptions 2017-06-27 01:25 am (UTC)(link)
Yet you gave your soul up even temporarily. That means the Unclean offered you something you couldn't get without them. Is that enough for you?
disinterested: (faux affably evil;)

[personal profile] disinterested 2017-06-27 02:15 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, it is. [...] Everything else, I'm more than capable of obtaining by my own hands.

[Hopefully.]

...I don't get you. We spent weeks together, plotting murders and the like, and yet I don't think I really know who you are.
disinterested: (combat pragmatist;)

[personal profile] disinterested 2017-06-27 02:27 am (UTC)(link)
Mira, I'm not sure if you realize this, but most people don't consider plotting murders to be a good bonding activity.

[personal profile] perceptions 2017-06-27 02:28 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, I know that much. But we were still in the same boat together.

To be fair, the only thing I know about you is your obsession with hearts and that you killed your boyfriend back home.

[... And to be fair, Girge wasn't. Exactly keen on talking about himself.]
perceptions: the fratellis (She's one part evil)

[personal profile] perceptions 2017-06-27 02:34 am (UTC)(link)
To be fair, you never really talked about yourself at all.

[call out is fairplay.]
disinterested: (psychopathic manchild;)

[personal profile] disinterested 2017-06-27 02:35 am (UTC)(link)
Were you really that curious?
perceptions: the fratellis (Well there's a chance that she knows)

[personal profile] perceptions 2017-06-27 02:37 am (UTC)(link)
...No, not really.

Even if I were, would it make any difference now? Or even back then? We all knew the part we came to play.
disinterested: (freudian excuse;)

[personal profile] disinterested 2017-06-27 02:41 am (UTC)(link)
My thoughts exactly.

[Also, there was no way he was going to tell "I gouge people's hearts out" Mira that all of his incentives, on the other hand, were super mushy.]

But I can give you this much, I guess. [He points two fingers at his forehead—where, when he'd first woken up here, there'd once been blood.] You wondered about my state when we first met, before we realized we were both Prophets.

I was shot.

[personal profile] perceptions 2017-06-27 02:43 am (UTC)(link)
...So that's what it was.

[Six weeks feels like forever now, but she remembers it.]

So has the Unclean undone that for you, or will you return to that state?
disinterested: (team killer;)

[personal profile] disinterested 2017-06-27 03:48 am (UTC)(link)
[Six weeks does feel like forever now.

Sorry that he never shot his gun (of his own will) during that time!!]


Not automatically. Part of my incentives [now] involves rewriting events of my world so that I never died.

[personal profile] perceptions 2017-06-29 03:37 am (UTC)(link)
So that's what you will be returning to. [She says, a little disappointed.] Too bad. Unless Tsurugi takes the deal, I'll be the only prophet sticking around.

Don't tell me you're feeling lonely.

Are you going to judge me if I say 'yes'?
disinterested: (sociopathic hero;)

[personal profile] disinterested 2017-06-30 03:01 am (UTC)(link)
I'll be nice and say no.
