End Game

The world is black. And then you blink at your plate.

A portion of your favorite dish greets your eyes, albeit in a form you may never have seen it in before. Encased in a thick, wobbling layer of multi-colored gelatin, the food you know and love now sits suspended in its protein-based enclosure as an eccentric re-imagining of the dish. Furthermore, it only takes a glance to see that the rest of the dining table's spread shares this same theme, as every single dish, sweet or savory, finds itself victim to a jiggling Jell-o jail.

Still, you won't have much time to take this all in before a quiet, high-pitched giggling makes its way to your ears, only crescendoing in volume the longer you sit in this oh-so-familiar dining room. It doesn't take much to find the source of the sound either; unlike the other side, this place is absolutely teeming with fairies to the point where the fluttering of their iridescent wings is clearly audible behind the din of their laughter. As you come to your senses, dozens and dozens of beady eyes watch with their tiny faces stretched out in a wide grin, before speaking in unison.

"Welcome, we can't wait to serve you!"

As the fairies erupt in raucous laughter all around you, at least one more thing is readily apparent: however you met your end, your body is completely whole again. You also have company at the table with you, although whether it's desirable company or not may depend on the circumstances surrounding your death.

In any case, there's nothing stopping anyone from leaving the dining room and roaming freely as usual, and most of the same areas that were available to you on the other side are still present here, albeit with some differences. And though your life may have been stolen from you, it still looks like you have a part in this tale, somehow, someway.

So, will you let your story finish here, or will you write your own ending?

AWAKENING

[lastreward]

[ OOC: here's where the dead can awaken at their ease! Or... not so much ease, I guess. For organization's sake. ]

[ Meanwhile, Zola's at the door and Yor's with Samidare and Nageki as they come to greet their new residents at the dining room waiting for them to wake... ]

[hellochildren]

[The last time the parrot found himself in a situation like this? He was calm. Calculating. Keeping everything in control. Everything was unusual, but still perfectly manageable.

This time, however?]

SHEISSE!

[This time, Pericles is shouting before falling back first into the chair behind, him, breathing heavily as his gaze darts around rapidly at the sights before him-disgusting sunflower seed jello, the now abundance of fairies in the area, and...people. Familiar people.

Dead people.]

Is...is zis...?

[He knew the answer. He just...he needed the confirmation.]

[libirdian]

Hello, Professor. It's probably what you think it is. Did you want to eat or drink first?

[ If he does take him up on his offer, he's carrying a basket of sunflower seed bread, that saltless bread he taught him to bake, and a jar of water. ]

Or we can talk more about what's going on.

[ Or both. Both works since there's a lot to talk about. ]

[goldencave]

[ Whelp. Norton is gonna let everyone else welcome interrogate Raven while he goes to check on the bird. ]

Yep... You're dead.

[ Ignore the chipped tooth. Or the bluntness. ]

Sorry.

[laytorest]

[Yor is here, too! She is Politely Looming behind the kids with two somewhat familiar needle blades on a belt looped around her waist. Although... these ones are golden in color, not iron.

Huh!

Anyway she's just here to make sure things go smoothly so she can be chatted with after the kids unless he wants to address her in particular.]

[eternaljune]

...yes. It is.

[Rika looks a bit sad as she stares at him, but she still smiles like greeting an old friend.]

I'd say it's good to see you, but...honestly, I was hoping you wouldn't end up here.

[mearry]

[ well last time he saw pericles was in the execution area with SQ. after whatever happens to raven, he’ll hang around in the back, a lot more meek than how he was acting with raven. ]

This place is filling up a bit too quickly— hello, sensei.

[mathodical]

[ a smile, and william looks completely unperturbed by the professor's reaction. ]

It is. Fortunately, the not-quite afterlife isn't quite as terrible as it's made out to be.

[ a headtilt ]

Careful not to fall into the jello.

[5_1_1]

[ She waits until he's a bit settled before approaching him, eyes downcast. ]

H-hey. The other night at the party we had here I like...told someone I'd like to see you again. Sorry if that like, cursed you.

[reallyfishy]

[The last thing Raven remembers is Yeager saying goodbye, and then darkness.

Until he awakens and the absolute swarm of cackling fairies jolts him enough to send him toppling backwards in his chair.]

Bwaaaah!!

[All right guys, get his ass while he's down.]

1/2

[lastreward]

[ Sits down next to him all casually-like. ]

Raven-san.

2/2

[lastreward]

[ She takes a minute to let him get used to her being here, then her smile darkens. ]

I hope you already know, you have a lot of questions to answer.

[laytorest]

[Yor is here, too! She is Politely Looming behind the kids with two somewhat familiar needle blades on a belt looped around her waist. Although... these ones are golden in color, not iron.

Huh!

Anyway go ahead and get your talk with Samidare etc. Over with, she's here to watch everything go smoothly and maybe chat once that's over.]

[mearry]

Raven~ it’s so good to see you here!

[ :) ]

Hope you’re proud of yourself!

[eternaljune]

Raaaveeeeeen...

[Rika is a little behind Samidare, seething a little.]

I really hope you didn't waste our efforts to keep you hidden on purpose.

[libirdian]

[ Somewhere from behind all the other kids. ]

Good luck, Mister Raven. You'll need it.

[amortristis]

[ She just kind of. Stands next to him and stares down. Ignore the fact she's clearly been crying. ]

You certainly don't make things easy, do you.

[ ..... it's kind of hard to tell whether she's mad or not. ]

[oversaw]

[ His condolences, Raven...

Since he has an idea of what's to come, he will hold out a bottle of liquor. Skydwellers Humans seem to enjoy imbibing when bad things are happening (and good things), so surely this will make a wonderful gift?! ]

Greetings, Raven. I brought you something to soothe your spirit.

[warmthbringer]

[ And then, of course....

Riku isn't exactly angry like the others. He is upset, because Raven... Tenn had trusted him, after all. And Raven had gone and done that.

... Okay, so maybe he is kind of mad. Riku catches him at some point, after the others have accosted him... ]

Raven-san....

[ He just looks Sad. ]

[amortristis]

[ Morgan sits back in a start, her (still fingernail-less) hand going up to her chest. It's a rude awakening, for sure, and she sort of barely even hears the fairies giggling as she looks around and –

Right. Everything that just happened is coming back to her. For once (except Raven, who definitely saw her mad last night), all of you get to see Morgan emote as she suddenly breaks down crying, leaning forward into her knees as her hands cover her face as she sobs. ]

[lastreward]

[ Well that startles her when she sees her crying, so she waits patiently, sitting close by and calls her name gently. ]

Morgan-san...

[ She's sorry she can't give you that much time to grieve. ]

[oversaw]

[ Seeing her like this, he almost wishes he didn't come to greet Morgan. She deserves time to her herself to grieve. Should he leave her like this...? Surely she wouldn't want someone seeing her at such a weak moment. But...

... it's hard. It's hard to walk away from someone in such obvious pain. Lucifer slowly approaches and reluctantly puts a hand on her shoulder. ]

Morgan...?

[laytorest]

[OH NO SHE'S CRYING Yor is immediately breaking character to fuss.]

M-Morgan, are you alright?

[Just ignore the golden needle blades at her sides that's probably fine EVERYTHING IS PROBABLY FINE.]

[eternaljune]

...I know. I'm sorry.

[Rika crouches down and pats Morgan's head, trying to offer some form of comfort despite everything.]

I can at least tell you that everything isn't quite decided yet. It isn't hopeless.

[libirdian]

[ He's going to hang back and let the others do most of the talking since he's really bad at this. But he does want to at least make an attempt to talk to a fellow archive visitor. ]

I'm sorry about all this, Miss Morgan. This is...going to be a lot at once.

[ Which frankly is going to be an understatement. ]
