WEEK SEVEN: FAREWELL

[guestservices]

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!

Lawyers? Lawyers?! When I'm done with this bastard, he'll need a cryptkeeper!!

[oh god she's loud

here she is, miss lili an, being delivered back and it's understandable if you want to immediately Return to Sender. she's being steered toward a certain crane probably but she will also stand around irritably and if you were in the hotel in any capacity, she's calling you out]

Hey! You!

[LILI LEARN A NAME]

[preowned]

[ hE'S TACKLING HER ]

[coastal]

[SCREAMS MID-TIRADE?]

[preowned]

Lili An! Surprise!

[coastal]

I guess I'm surprised....

[she screamed?????]

[coastal]

[but after a moment she just

hugs him]

[preowned]

[ he hugs back ]

Do not stay here. It's a terrible hotel.

[coastal]

Why would I stay here? We have villas in my tribe...

[rich girl problems



also now she's starting to feel awkward in this hug so she'll squirm a little]

You picked a terrible vacation spot.

[nightchild]

[he's been in this hotel for ten seconds but he still counts right

anyway he immediately perks up when he's addressed by lili's dulcet top voice,]

Yeah? What is it? What do you need?

[DON'T JUST BE IMMEDIATELY AGREEABLE ITSUKIIII]

[coastal]

[DULCET TOP VOICE? YAYWON?]

.... you're too eager....

[nightchild]

[it's the truth????]

I just want to hear you out! But I can always complain instead, if you like.

[kawinks]

[coastal]

[oh murder time,]

Nevermind. I'm the one complaining. You can leave me alone. If you see Ookurikara or Tsurumaru Kuninaga, just tell them to find me.

[JUST NAMEDROPS AND DOESN'T EXPLAIN FURTHER]

[nightchild]

[LUCKILY FOR HER HE KNOWS THESE NAMES]

-- Huh? Kara-san and Tsuru-san? [if anything he'd have expected her to say

mikazuki munechika

but

HE DIDN'T KNOW TSURUMARU WAS HERE TOO?? AND ALSO KARA??]

You know them too?

[coastal]

[an expression passes her face that can clearly be read as 'oh no he's useful to me' so this conversation must keep going....]

I do...

You actually do too? Huh.

[looks him up and down rudely

he doesn't seem like a samurai]

[nightchild]

[oh this look of judgement is so nostalgic.... imagine i said he was carrying a sword but he is his usual twink self,]

Yeah, I met them at the Citadel. I'm not a tsukumogami though -- just a human.

[he looks her over

curiously

........sword......? ojou sword?]

[shixiong]

[ there she goes






maybe she won't notice if yin yu sneaks by ]

[coastal]

Hold it.

[that's a no]

[shixiong]

[


busted

he

bows in greeting ]

[coastal]

[she accepts this even though she has no right to,]

So?

How was your acting gig?

[shixiong]

[ frankly the fact that he still has a mask on his face feels like a small miracle ]

... Ah, the others informed you already...? This servant was successful, I suppose...

[ yin yu speak for It Sucked ] They will be pleased to see you safe, Lll - Lili.

[coastal]

[they're in public.... he can keep it............ for now]

.... well, I saw enough of it. [frowning] Which made it even more frustrating that I couldn't do anything...

[there's still stuff she has questions on but.

tch.]

Seems like this place was terrible all around.

[shixiong]

I may be able to answer some questions more than others... It was - I was...

[ ... ]

Unpleasantly surprised to see your name among the lists, but I... more than anything, I'm just glad you're alright.
