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!

[AS LONG AS I'M NOT BOTHERED he says to Okita Souji, professional botherer of people.]

I'll keep that in mind, then - though I'm sure you'll have your hands full with Aikawa-kun.

[ercnerd]

Oh, you heard about that? Then you know why it doesn't matter to me if you talk to the kids. Better yet, you can distract them while he and I mind our business.

[illomened]

He mentioned it to me, yes. [It was very cute...] That sounds like a job I could surely manage! But remember to make at least a little time for me, now and then.

[ercnerd]

Hmm . . . I'll think about it.

[illomened]

Think about it carefully! I'll be very sad if I don't get to spend time with you.

[ercnerd]

Then you'll just have to pick a good time. Perhaps over dinner?

[illomened]

That would be a perfectly comfortable time.

[Their shared mealtimes that he'll miss...]

[ercnerd]

Yeah? Then maybe you can cook with Ronan if he's around.

[illomened]

Oh! I would love that! I didn't know he could cook, too...

[He already loves this Ronan lad so much help.]

[ercnerd]

Ronan can do just about anything. He's an exceptional swordsman as well; why don't you spar with him sometime?

[illomened]

[IMMEDIATELY PERKING UP his jock core help.]

Is he? Would he like to spar? I'd love to, if it's something he'd enjoy!

[ercnerd]

He has a strict training regimen. If you catch him at a good time, he should have no reason to refuse.

Even if he declines, there are plenty of kids who like to fight among us.

[Jocks, the lot of them.]

[illomened]

[JOCK FRIENDS JOCK FRIENDS he's so excited...]

I'll be sure to catch him at a good time, then! It's been far too long since I've been able to practice my swordsmanship properly. I wouldn't mind seeing many new styles...

[ercnerd]

Wouldn't you? Then you should challenge Elesis to a match. She's a master of our house's style.

[illomened]

[He's just the metal gear solid !! in this moment.]

I would love to see that style in her work, then! Ah, though I'm certain everyone else has interesting things to watch and come up against, too. [NODDING in a decisive way.] I'll just have to spar against all of them.

[ercnerd]

There's quite a few of us. Think you'll be able to keep up?

[Of course, Sieghart has no intention of taking part. He's more interested in watching everyone sweat instead of him.]

[illomened]

There's only one way to find out, right?

[Somehow he'll be able to, even though he is but a puny human.]

[ercnerd]

[Sieghart believes in him.]

That's right. So you'd better take care of yourself and be prepared once you come to visit.

[illomened]

I will, I will!

[BUT since Sieghart's sweet hostage is still nowhere to be seen and there are plenty of people to say goodbye to, Souji will just dart forward after that to give him a lil hug before pulling back.]

I'll be over so often that I won't have the time to miss you - but stay well, alright?

[ercnerd]

[Off-screen in the distance, Mari frowns.

Here, Sieghart is a smidgen surprised by the hug; however, he isn't one for protracted farewells, either.]

Focus on one business at a time. And don't worry about me: When it comes to maintaining, there's no one better than me.

[Because he can't change. He turns away, so he can be on the move before Mari attacks him.]

[illomened]

[MARI STOP FROWNING.

It's amazing that this is what Sieghart is escaping with considering how tactile in general Souji is, but he just laughs at that, even if it's like a "why is everyone I know living like this" kind of laugh.]

I'll worry a little anyway, you know? But I'll try to keep the fussing to a minimum for you. Until next time, then!

[But with that, he'll watch warmly as Sieghart turns away before moseying off to continue socializing with his 5000 new friends.]
