See you next time

SEE YOU

Welcome to...

Well, this ain't the islands anymore. You might see pieces of the island, a go-kart floating in the distance, the waterfall flowing upside down, a giant lollipop, all floating in what's similar to a nebula in space. Actually, it's closer to the void you've all grown to know so well over the weeks.

Fret not because the air here is breathable even if the landscape defies physics. Scattered throughout the "land" are shadowy portals, each leading to all of your homeworlds, at the exact time you had left off. Manipulating space-time is convenient like that.

Your u-pinions somehow, have survived, and they'll continue to function as an intranet between all of you. Oh, and everyone will gain the power to return to this space whenever they'd like and utilize the portals as they wish.

Your vacation is finally over, but this doesn't have to be goodbye.

(( OOC: Happy Good End Everyone! You all earned this. We hope you had a great time, and from the three of us, thanks for joining us on this wild ride! ))

...Huh?

[Now that makes him do the double white guy blink.]

How so? Now call me curious.

[idologue]

You found a way for Lobelia to go on living when I thought I had to accept that his happiness lay in death and there was nothing one could do. I thought I had to accept that there are people who cannot exist alongside others, who cannot experience joy in this world...

[ She's smiling, but still looks down at her feet for a moment. ]

... and what a crushing thought that was, when I'd been trying so desperately to find a different solution.

[ Complete defeat. A reality so sad that even idealism can't dream up a way to salvage it. ]

But you gave him happiness and purpose. He's moving forward now. And I will forever remember that it is possible. Even if I have not yet found the way to do this for somebody, even if it will take me forever.... I'll remember that you did it.

...

[He listens to it all. Finding happiness and purpose for someone....for someone as depraved and empty as Lobelia, to let him be guided to the path, and never lose his way....]

[He sighs.]

I don't...think I did anything special. [He says, obviously a little awkward for such words.] In the end, I'm just a guide. It so happens he needed a hand. That's...all.

[idologue]

[ She half expected that he'd admonish her for saying something so sentimental, but it seems like it's possible to strike a nerve even with a man like Vergilius. She's glad to see more parts of him that way. ]

I think there might be nothing more difficult to be than a guide.

[immortalpoet]

...You definitely shouldn't envy me.

[At least agreeing with that.]

But at least he's on the right path.

[idologue]

[ No, 'envy' isn't the word she'd use for this. She already carries a burden, he just helped her realize that she can still learn to carry it better. ]

I hope he'll make you happy as well. I don't think I've seen you smiling since we came here.

[immortalpoet]

[He stares for a moment, before glancing away - shoulders move up and down in an almost helpless shrug, but as he speaks, its clear he's just awkward.]

...I won't lie to you. He does. Despite everything. [A beat.] And don't need to smile to be happy.
