WEEK SEVEN: FAREWELL
FAREWELL
(0 ḡ̴̻u̷͌͜ê̴̯s̶̢͑t̵̻͝s̴̡̐ ̴c̴h̴e̶c̴k̷e̶d̸ ̶i̴n̴)
As Sunday morning arrives…you may find yourself actually sleeping in? For the first time in several weeks, you do not find yourself awakening at 9am. You don’t have that slight nagging feeling that you’re going to be late. You don’t feel pressed to rush out the door and go somewhere.
The restaurant is currently serving a piping hot breakfast, and your luggage is packed nice and neatly. Somewhere outside, it’s almost like you can hear the pleasant chirping of birds.
And then…the hotel begins to rumble. It’s the same ominous, quaking movement, building swaying from side to side before the front door of the lobby suddenly bursts open. Your stay at the hotel is over, dear guests. But perhaps you ought to venture outside and see what’s new.
Along the grounds of the hotel are several portals that have been opened, dark swirling shadows that remain for you to venture through once you’re ready to depart. However, these portals work in two directions. While you have the understanding that stepping through one of these portals will send you wherever you’d like, you may notice there are people starting to exit through them.
Your hostages are safe. They are delivered one by one, unharmed and returned to you for you to bring them back where they belong. The original staff also appears to finally be released...do be careful with them.
But that’s not all. Every now and then the portal will flicker and someone new and unexpected will exit. Your friends from home may step through these portals. You may recognize some of these as people that you’ve met in your previous murder adventures, too. All of them seem to be in possession of a flyer that reads:
Congratulations! You’ve won an all-expenses paid visit to the Starlight Hotel. Check-in begins at 3. Please sign on the dotted line upon arrival.
You may want to warn them, actually.
You don’t have to be a guest of the hotel to enjoy its fine amenities one last time. All of the floors have been opened once again, and every room is accessible except for your previous bedrooms. You will also find that you’ve been unnerfed, powers you once possessed returning to you and back where they belong.
Everything is peaceful…until you hear the sound of the Nightman.
H̸o̷w̴ ̴c̸o̷u̸l̵d̸ ̵y̸o̴u̸ ̸n̵o̶t̶ ̸f̶i̷n̵d̷ ̴a̴ ̴l̷o̶o̵p̴h̴o̶l̴e̵?̷ ̸N̷o̴w̵ ̵t̴h̷e̴y̷'̴r̵e̶ ̸a̶l̷l̸ ̷f̶r̵e̸e̵!̵
Hm…too bad. It seems as though the proprietor of this hotel is unhappy with circumstances. But regardless of where you look, you wouldn’t be able to find him. Seems like he’s gone off to try and restructure his business model.
As a parting gift from the Starlight Hotel, you will find that your typewriters are now pocket-sized palm pilot models. You do want to stay in touch, don’t you? It’s been several long weeks for all of you…
…you can check out anytime you want, but you can finally leave.

Happy Golden End, friends! You may use this post to thread out your final day at the hotel. You can thread with your hostages if you'd like. In addition this post is open to past gamemates or canonmates. You are free to bring characters from previous games or their canonmates to play off of each other.
As the post states, everyone's powers are back and you have universal texting. Fun! Characters will be able to return to their own worlds or depart for another world of their choosing whenever they'd like to leave.
Should you have any questions about their current condition, or simply questions about endgame mechanics in general, please feel free to ask us. Have fun!

So he has to awkwardly wait his turn. ]
I knew it wouldn't be up to your standards.
no subject
give her... famblee hug......!!!]
You knew, and yet you went anyway.
[she'd still look mad if she wasn't looking also incredibly relieved?? these are too many emotions COME OVER AND HUG HER ALREADY!!!]
no subject
I'll have to explain it to you later.
[ Gives her a little kiss. ]
no subject
she turns a little red, immediately burying her face into his chest to hug him back, not because she wants to hide or anything.]
...You'll have to do more than just that. [h-hmph,]
I missed you, you idiot.
no subject
rests his cheek against her head ]
I missed you too. I kept wondering how much criticism you'd have of this place.
no subject
I haven't even been here for ten minutes and I already have a list. For example, if they were going to lure you here, then they could have at least extended the invitation to me! You were already there -- half of the work was already done.
[claude could have been her hostage!!!! it would have been so easy!!! bad business management]
no subject
he squeezes her ]
I briefly considered if you were the mastermind here, but you'd never be so sloppy.
no subject
that at least gets her to stop hiding and look up at him, HUFFING]
-- I can't believe you even considered it in the first place!
no subject
he looks away ]
It was a sky-themed hotel...
no subject
Named after the stars! The moon is completely different. And it came with that name, by the way.
[if she had her choice she'd have named it..... something else, maybe something more pretentious.
Claude is looking away, so Manwol puts her hands on his face to direct his gaze back to her.]
You're unbelievable.
[she smooches him anyway]
no subject
two public smooches is a lot for day, but it's been a long murdergame so he's happy about it. ]
Maybe I just wanted to feel like you were nearby.
no subject
her expression softens, because claude has truly been through it! she can only imagine!! seasons was stressful!!]
...I would have come sooner if this stupid hotel let me in.
And it's a little annoying that I didn't get to rescue you, but... this is just as good.
[reuniting!! and it feels so good!!]
no subject
ugh they're so sappy and gross, just looks at her all mooney-eyed. happiness truly is a drug. ]
Hmm. I don't know, I would've liked to see that. I've been curious about whether you still have your skills from your bandit days.
no subject
Hmph. I wasn't the leader of my group for nothing, you know.
[but she's smiling. funny how every memory of her past only brings her pain, except when talking about it with claude... it's because they're super gay]
We should compete. I want to know if I'd win against you.
no subject
he's looking pretty interested in that idea (subtext). ]
Now that's an idea. I think I'd like testing my strength against yours.
[ again (subtext). ]
no subject
unfortunately manwol just looks amused, and also pleased because three kisses!! wow!!]
Let's do archery then. Is there a range nearby? [
is this a joke or is this SUBTEXT?]
no subject
since he has a reason, he'll step back out of their embrace and grab one of her hands instead. ]
Actually, there is. Right on this floor. I'll take you.
[ sahar, desperate to leave, flies over to one of the couches to flatten it with her butt. ]
no subject
but manwol's only happy to follow claude, even if he is technically giving her a tour of a murder hotel.... but there were parts of wiwaldi that she was fond of, so she knows it's complicated.
is this too much credit to give to horny claude...
she's looking around as they walk though, wow]
Are you sure you want to go now? [SHE SAYS, AS THEY'RE GOING] What about your farewells?
