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?

[...What?]

Ignoring how stupid it would be to try to take on two combatants with a dull sword
I promised multiple people that I wasn't going to murder anyone?

[...Do they not believe he keeps his promises?]

[mearry]

No..... more like......

[ umm... he pulls away? ]

You know, what, it doesn't matter. Let's just...ignore it. It happened, everyone's bad at trials.

[gemuinemanagement]

OK

[He's still worried... what do the living think of him...]

Did you get my letter

[mearry]

Ah...um...

[ he nods. he puts a hand in his pocket, fishing out a folded letter. ]

So it's from you? I half thought that it was from the fairies....since they tend to mimic our writing sometimes...

[gemuinemanagement]

[He nods, and pulls back enough to write on his own paper.]

I tried putting it in the fountain first
Since that was where we found the dead's letters first
Tenn saw me doing that and came to me in private later to tell me that he could send a message for me

[mearry]

And here I didn't want to owe Tenn any more thanks than I already do.

[ he SIGHS, but he's not particularly mad. ]

I see...kind of bold to ask someone you knew for 2 weeks to live with you.

[gemuinemanagement]

[Oh. He turns a little bit pink.]

Was that too forward
I'm sorry
It's OK if the answer is no
I understand

[mearry]

Jeez, you're as bad as me when it comes to jumping to conclusions. You're so helpless sometimes, Suga.

[ he laughs a little bit. ]

I didn't say no.

[gemuinemanagement]

[Oh. That just makes him blush more somehow.]

Oh

[...and then he hugs C-ta again.]

[mearry]

[ oh..... c-ta hugs him back, but with a tad more hesitation. he hasn't said yes either, suga.

after all there is still one thing on his mind about this... ]

What's...the...village like?

[gemuinemanagement]

[Ah. He'll unhug to write this down properly.]

It's up in the mountains and it's very small
Everyone knows each other
And there isn't a whole lot to do
I'm not going to lie about that, it's probably much more boring than the city

But it is pretty
And we could have picnics
Or go on walks and hold hands?

[mearry]

I see...

[ yep, sounds boring as hell. but if he can be with suga, then that's what matters. however... ]

What would happen...well, what would happen if you...um...happened to, well, die...early?

[ how do you ask your boyfriend about his short lifespan @ google ]

[gemuinemanagement]

Oh
Right, Pericles must have told you

It is true that I'm cursed
And as things are I probably won't live past 28
But we know people who can lift curses here, right?
Yuri said she would help me

[And as complicated as his feelings on Yuri are right now, he'd really like to not die.]

[mearry]

No, Samidare just told me. I kind of...inferred.

[ he wishes that it was just him jumping to conclusions but...

yuri's name leaves a bad taste in c-ta's mouth. he frowns. ]

What if it doesn't work?

[gemuinemanagement]

[Oh, he'd almost forgotten he and Samidare had that conversation.]

Then we'll ask someone else for help
Some other world's magic
We'll find something

[mearry]

…

[ he doesn’t like it. the idea of being alone fills him with fear.

he wrings his hands, and nods. ]

Okay. Okay, I guess… we’ll see how it goes. [ he’ll try to at least give suga a small smile? he deserves that. ]

[gemuinemanagement]

[Suga smiles in return, then looks away. There's a small flush on his face.]

Hey
C-ta
Could I ask you for something, if it's okay

[mearry]

Hm? [ he tilts his head. ] What do you need?

[gemuinemanagement]

I was thinking
That kisses are probably better without cell bars in the way?

[He's amazed he managed to write that much without spontaneously combusting.]

1/2

[mearry]

[ oh…

oh he’s embarrassed too, now. ]

I thought you would have forgotten that…

[mearry]

[ but he recollects himself quickly, and gives suga a cheeky smile. ]

Well, I can’t say no to you, can I?

[ and with that, suga will get a quick kiss on the lips! ]

[gemuinemanagement]

[It might be quick and relatively chaste, but Suga decides that it's way better than the ones they've had before. He smiles brightly, cheeks still flushed.]

Definitely better

[mearry]

Way better.

[ he laughs a little, trying to take one of suga's hands in his own. ]

[gemuinemanagement]

[He squeezes C-ta's hand in his, before remembering something.

He lets go only to pull the emerald necklace that he'd been wearing underneath his shirt off over his head, and holds it out to C-ta.]

[mearry]

[ oh.

oh.

the gasp that c-ta gives when he sees that pendant is audible. partially because of the memories of his execution, but also because suga kept it. though maybe he should have never doubted that.

with a choked sob, c-ta just goes in for another hug, clinging onto him like a lifeline. ]
