( 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.

Unless they change their mind, that's right.

I have something I need to take care of, or else I would probably... Choose to go somewhere else.

[personal profile] ninjay 2017-06-27 12:32 am (UTC)(link)
They won't. I was talking to Jake about it after the trial, and he seems pretty firm on staying with you.

[ jay had also asked why they were going back to her world since from his conversations with clementine before, it... didn't seem like a place she'd want to stay at. jake mentioned a child, but jay decides not to bring that part up. it's clementine's business. ]

We're supposed to be getting our powers back after we leave. I'm sure things will be easier to deal with when they get theirs.

Powers. Are you sure they won't just disappear again in a world like mine? One without powers?

[ she has a very hard time wrapping her head around these kinds of things. ]
ninjay: (or maggots and dirt.)

[personal profile] ninjay 2017-06-27 01:22 am (UTC)(link)
Well... we could always ask to be sure. I wonder if we could use incentives to make it possible if it's not an automatic thing though?

[ jay still has two unused ones left. ]

[personal profile] willremember 2017-06-27 01:25 am (UTC)(link)
[ she just shrugs because she's already used her incentive and it does not even occur to her that someone else might use theirs to benefit her. ]

Maybe. I'm... Going to see if they can keep the dead from turning, but if that's too big a wish, I want a car.
ninjay: (my orbit had begun.)

[personal profile] ninjay 2017-06-27 01:27 am (UTC)(link)
... You should have two.

You killed Tsurugi, but you also shot yourself, right? That still counted as a kill.

[ it's a little weird to talk about the mass suicide pact they all did, but. ]

[personal profile] willremember 2017-06-27 01:29 am (UTC)(link)
Oh. I didn't think that counted.

Well... Just that first wish is such a big one...
ninjay: (if so i'll wave.)

[personal profile] ninjay 2017-06-27 01:56 am (UTC)(link)
I wonder if you could merge the two incentives into just one big one?

[ ugh he regrets not asking more about how incentives were done during his time here, but since his main one was covered by accepting the hunter job, he didn't really have any reason to afterwards. ]

[personal profile] willremember 2017-06-27 04:03 am (UTC)(link)
I don't know, but I'll ask.

[ she pretty much never asked... anything about incentives or even thought about them. ]
ninjay: (one february night.)

[personal profile] ninjay 2017-06-27 01:28 pm (UTC)(link)
If it works, at least that's a step towards normalcy.

[ even if they'll still have to kill all the walkers that are still around. ]

... A few people have stated that their worlds are capable of inter-dimensional travel. If they manage that, and can drop to see the rest of us, would you guys hop to another world?

[ after she's taken care of whatever she needs to. ]

[personal profile] willremember 2017-06-27 08:00 pm (UTC)(link)
[ she genuinely can't imagine her world going back to normal. ]

If I can... Find AJ. Or find out what happened to him.

Once that's done, once I have him safe, I wouldn't mind going somewhere else.
ninjay: (i'm not an ape.)

[personal profile] ninjay 2017-06-27 08:36 pm (UTC)(link)
[ he can understand that. he'd love to immediately jump into the "find a way to break the game from the outside" plan, but he has to take care of a few things back home first. ]

Any idea where?

I don't even know if he's alive. Those New Frontier fuckers took him from me.

If he is alive, he's probably in Richmond.
ninjay: (until the fabric was torn.)

[personal profile] ninjay 2017-06-27 10:55 pm (UTC)(link)
[ what the fuck is richmond ]

... I have a suggestion. If you do end up asking for a vehicle, maybe see if you can get one that won't run out of fuel?
