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?

[Where does Suga wake up? Not the dining room, apparently!

His eyes snap open and his expression immediately shifts to one of fear, followed by confusion. There's no hole in his chest and he's not coughing up blood, nor whatever the hell Jack dropped on his head that made that sickening crack.

Thankfully he isn't alone to puzzle this for very long.

Alternatively, if you're busy doing... other things... you can later find Suga frowning intensely at the sealed entrance to the thieves' den.]

[libirdian]

...Mister Suga. Um, sorry about how sudden this is, but we need to leave this room now.

[ Sorry for not giving him much time to react, but uh, considering the Jack welcoming squad, he thought it prudent to get Suga out of there immediately. Also, there's a lot of fairies watching anyway. ]

[goldencave]

[ Norton's here to help Suga out. Of the chair. ]

Yeah... [ Glancing up at Nageki. ] We're still meeting in the store, right kid?

[gemuinemanagement]

[Um, okay. Suga doesn't really know what's going on yet, but he knows better to argue with dead people about deadland. He stands up and follows the pair wherever they're leading him to.]

[libirdian]

Yes, the general store. We're having our meeting soon after they...welcome Mister Jack as well.

[ He closes his eyes for a moment as he says that, still walking. Then he quickly turns towards Suga, looking apologetic once again. ]

Sorry, Mister Suga, it's not quite safe to talk here, but we can explain more at the store.

[goldencave]

Right.

[ He'll just lead Suga away... Though he takes a second to glance at the disaster about to unfold around Jack...

No, let's just... Focus on going to the general store. ]

[gemuinemanagement]

[He has a feeling that he doesn't really want to turn around and look.

As soon as they make it inside the store, he pulls a paper out of his pocket and jots down a note.]

So they caught Jack and not McGillis?

thieves' den

[mearry]

[ now that things have been taken care of...c-ta goes to look for suga.

he has an idea of where he would go, and so he follows his gut to the thieves' den... or just a few dozen meters from the entrance. staring at suga's back.

what should he say? what are the right words to say in this moment?

well, let's start with-- ]

Hello.

[gemuinemanagement]

[That voice. That's the voice he's been waiting all day to hear, the one he wished was there to greet him-

Suga whirls around, eyes wide. Pulling out his notepad is too slow for what he wants to express, so he goes about it the faster way:

Clinging to C-ta in a hug.]

[mearry]

Sorry...I was caught up with stuff.

[ a small lie, but it really doesn't matter. while it is mostly because showing jack hell and cleaning up after takes time, he also...wasn't ready to face suga. even now, it's difficult.

he wraps his arms behind suga, clinging onto him. ]

I missed you.

[gemuinemanagement]

[Can't unhug. Writing with his finger on the back of C-ta's hand instead.]

I missed you too
I thought about you every day

[mearry]

Well that's a horrible reason to come visit me.

[ he rests his head on suga's shoulder, humming. ]

[gemuinemanagement]

[Ah. He tenses.]

I'm sorry
I tried my best to survive
As soon as I realized everyone else was asleep I tried to head back to the lodgings to lock myself in my room

[laytorest]

[She comes along to find him later, once she's had time to clean her blades properly - it's no good to let the blood of traitorous scum sit for long - but when she finally does locate him, her eyes are wide with concern, four needle-like blades hanging from her waist, two on either side, a pair of gold and a pair of iron copies.]

Suga...?

[gemuinemanagement]

[Ah. Thankfully she's not covered in blood or he'd immediately start to fuss over her, never mind that he's the one who just died.]

Yor-nee
I missed you but this wasn't how I wanted to see you again

1/2

[laytorest]

[-Nee... wat does that mean. Well, important things first!]

This isn't how I wanted to see you either! I... I mean, we're all trying to fix things here, but-

[laytorest]

[Wait. There's one other thing, too.

Drawing herself up with her hands folded in front of her, she tips her head down.]

I owe you and... most everyone an apology.

[gemuinemanagement]

[You can't read his answer if you're looking at the ground?]

What for

[laytorest]

[She does peer up again to see his reply.]

For... For killing Gin. I know it was a shock to people, and there was no way to explain myself...

[gemuinemanagement]

Oh
I just assumed you had a good reason for it

[hellochildren]

[The Professor wasn't among those to greet Suga when he first woke up. He was busy with...taking out the trash, let's call it.

But after that, he's not missing the chance to talk. It may have only been one week, but it was not a pleasant week from what he could tell.

So Suga won't be waiting long before a familiar weight finds itself on his shoulder once again.]

Hello.

[gemuinemanagement]

[Suga smiles, though it's slight.]

Pericles
I know it wasn't long but
I missed you

[hellochildren]

The feeling is mutual, zough I woult have preferred not meeting up in zis way.

[He would've preferred someone staying alive long enough to see the other come back to the world of the living, but there was nothing he could do about the current situation, so he just had to deal with it.]

May I ask vhat the story was for vhat happened? Or woult you prefer to not speak of it?

[gemuinemanagement]

There's not much of a story
Everyone fell asleep around me
I tried to go back to the lodgings to maybe lock myself in my room
McGillis chased me with a pitchfork
Jack threw a flashbang at me and dropped something on my head

[hellochildren]

[...huh...]

Zat is actually better zan expected, considering what vas discussed at the trial. It vas theorized and generally believed you hat actually tried to confront who you believed to be the traitors-specifically vone of zose two-ant tried to kill zem, only for zem to turn the tables.

I am glat to hear you dit not suddenly lose all common sense all of a sudden.
