( 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.

My sister's quiche. It's the last time I'll be able to taste it, after all...

Do you mind if I had some?

[ He doesn't want one of his regrets to be "haven't tasted any of Velvet's cooking". Sometimes it really is the little things. ]

That's fine with me. But you better not complain about there being too much spinach or anything like that.
rextenebrae: (29)

[personal profile] rextenebrae 2017-06-27 09:03 pm (UTC)(link)
... Did you put too much spinach in it?

[ He's smiling slightly. ]
breaksouls: (Default)

[personal profile] breaksouls 2017-06-27 09:28 pm (UTC)(link)
What? No! I put just the right amount!

[Now that's it done cooling or whatever, she serves him a slice.]

Here. Try it for yourself.
rextenebrae: (o6)

[personal profile] rextenebrae 2017-06-27 09:56 pm (UTC)(link)
[ He can't help but laugh a little, and then he'll gingerly take the slice.

Knoll will take a bite out of it. ]


You're right. The food you cook is immensely better than what those beings had served.

...With just the right amount of everything.

[ He may have been vaguely teasing a bit about the spinach thing. ]

[His laugh causes her to pout, but when he does eat her cooking she genuinely smiles. Velvet takes a slice for herself, to make sure of the taste.]

... It's still nowhere near as good as Celica's. I thought with my taste back I might be able to get closer, but... I've started to forget what it actually tasted like to begin with.
rextenebrae: (27)

[personal profile] rextenebrae 2017-06-27 11:36 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Wait, is that an actual smile? The rest of the slice nearly falls elegantly (not) out of his mouth, but luckily he's able to save it in time. ]

I haven't had Celica's, so I wouldn't know to compare, but it's still really good. Maybe for now...that could be good enough?

[ He wouldn't really know if it was--for her. However, it may be as good as it can get for now. ]

It'll have to be. At the very least, it tastes better than blood...

[Because that isn't obvious already.]

I'll have to remember the adjustments I made when I get back. I want everyone else to try it too.
rextenebrae: (28)

[personal profile] rextenebrae 2017-06-28 02:47 am (UTC)(link)
[ Knoll honestly can't imagine living a life where he can only taste blood. He's still kind of reasonably horrified that it's been that way for her -- and will continue to be apparently. ]

Would it be easier to write it down on a piece of paper so you don't forget? And I assume by 'everyone else' you mean your friends?

[personal profile] breaksouls 2017-06-28 04:23 am (UTC)(link)
It's not the sort of thing that's very exact... You can follow any recipe pretty easily, but getting it just right requires something else.

[For the most part, she had gotten used to cooking without taste, but it does help a lot honestly.]

And I guess you could call them that. You'd probably get along with some of them, honestly.
rextenebrae: (o1)

[personal profile] rextenebrae 2017-06-28 07:41 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh, I see.

[ ... ]

...Who would I get along with? Just out of curiosity?
breaksouls: (Default)

[personal profile] breaksouls 2017-06-28 11:53 pm (UTC)(link)
Probably Eizen, Eleanor, and Laphicet. Eizen's a pirate, but once you get him started talking about history it's impossible to get him to stop. Eleanor's pretty much the exact opposite of me, the kind of person who believes in humanity. And Laphicet... he's really curious. He loves learning new things and he has a knack for deciphering the ancient tongue.

[There's a fondness to her tone, especially when it comes to Laphicet.]

Then again... you might be okay with Magilou too. I mean, you and L'Arachel are friends, right? Magilou's just as annoying, but without all that self-righteousness.

They sound like very interesting and good people.

[ He means it; if he could meet them, he would. ]

I never really thought anyone else could come as close to Princess L'arachel's personality, but since knowing there are other worlds out there I learned that anything is possible. I really don't believe I'd have an issue getting along with any of them either. If anything, I would likely ask Eizen and Laphicet quite a few questions...

[ By a few he means a lot. He likes learning about new things. ]

[personal profile] breaksouls 2017-06-29 02:05 am (UTC)(link)
That girl's really a princess? I guess that explains why she's so high and mighty...

[Magilou's almost worst, though. Since she has to deal with her on a more regular basis.]

I'm sure they'd be happy to oblige. But still... all of them, their sins are almost as great as mine. No ordinary person would follow the Lord of Calamity, after all.
rextenebrae: (28)

[personal profile] rextenebrae 2017-06-29 02:36 am (UTC)(link)
Well, Princess Eirika isn't like that. I believe it is more like Princess L'arachel is just... a little unique.

[ He doesn't know how else to put it to be honest. ]

...Even Laphicet's sins are nearly just as bad?
