FAREWELL

[retellers]

FAREWELL ( ☆ ) Rise and shine, gremlins. As the new day begins, everyone will open their eyes and find themselves in transparent pods, just like the ones they had previously found the missing Leaders in. When they step out of them, they'll see the now probably familiar sight of a large, white room. Exiting the room will take them back to the castle, although it's a little different? Everything that made it personal to the Leaders is now gone, so that it no longer looks like anyone lived there. The passage leading to the basement is now locked as well, while the upper floors aren't glitching anymore. The rankings are finalized; rather, it seems that they have been since last week. Everyone on the Rabbit team will receive a message on their PHS: You did it! Think about your wish. Cute little stars zoom through the air, each one reaching a member of the Rabbit team. Looks like they'll be making their wish on these. As for everyone as a whole: Their memories are still intact, and they'll find that all of their powers have now returned to them. If they make their way to castle entrance, instead of a front door, they'll now see that it's full of many different portals. They can go through whichever portal they want, even if it's not their original home, but it's a one-way path. Unless someone on Rabbit team wants to use their wish for this, they have no way of traversing through the different worlds. They aren't completely cut off from one another, though. They're still allowed to keep their PHS, and it looks like the messaging function still works, with every participant and Leader available on the contact list. Have fun with your new texting buddies once you leave! Until then, it looks like it's time to say goodbye. Furthermore, it seems someone has something to say to everyone...

[ Dorothy sure is heading for the portal, where Ange is definitely hovering impatiently and shooting her rather pointed looks... but she'll catch your eye and tilt her head with a little smile. ]

We'd better make it count. I'm afraid she's rather in a hurry.

[maidforservice]

[a small crack of a smile, because Sharon was also beelininig for her portal as well. but she does stop when she sees Dorothy]

Yes. . . I suppose so. We all have much to return to, after all.

[misstrust]

Ah. Important, time-sensitive tasks for you as well, Sharon?

[ She doesn't sound surprised. ]

[maidforservice]

[. . .]

Yes. So it seems.

[there's something a bit wistful in her expression]

I had forgotten it for most of my time here. . . but as of last week, I now remember what it is I was doing back home.

[she folds her hands politely]

And it is a task I cannot turn away from.

[misstrust]

... Well, I never forgot, but I do know what that's like. I hope it's one you actually had a choice in.

[ But who knows these days, honestly, especially with that look on Sharon's face. ]

Regardless, I wish you all the luck with it.

[maidforservice]

It is. It's a path I chose to walk ages ago.

[though. . . one she has questioned all too frequently lately. even if she doesn't have the ability to stray from it]

Thank you, Lady Dorothy. . . for allowing me the opportunity to walk this path.

[and she bows deeply at that, as though the gratitude she already gave on the other side wasn't enough]

[misstrust]

... Please stop, I already told you it's nothing to thank me for. Someone would have accomplished it eventually.

[ ... Maybe. ]

[maidforservice]

[. . . MAYBE. . .]

Perhaps, but I was beginning to grow impatient. [selfishly so. when it's the last week of murder and your team still has only pulled the trigger once!!] Even so, I won't dwell on it if you don't wish for me to.

What are you returning do, Lady Dorothy? If I may ask.

[misstrust]

[ She... looks so tired?? ]

Saving a princess, preventing an assassination leading to a war... more or less.

[maidforservice]

[oh my god, Dorothy]

I have to ask, since I've been curious ever since Master Raven showed up on the other side. What is yours and Miss Ange's profession, exactly?

[she didn't miss the way Dorothy was like, MY LAST ORDER TO YOU, ANGE during the execution, either]

[laid]

You've really got yer work cut out for ya, Dorothy, keepin' an eye on a girl like Ange.
[A soft laugh.]

What'll you two do next?

[misstrust]

Rescue a princess, of course.

[ She says it with a wink, but there's utter sincerity in her tone. ]

... And what of you, Raven? How do you plan to spend your... ah, third life?

[laid]

[Well, Ange told him about the princess. Sort of. So he's not too surprised. At the question, he sighs.]

Oh! Dorothy darling, it's terrible! As if havin' ta piece the guild union back together in the don's absence wasn't enough work, I just know Yuri and the others're gonna drag old Raven along on their quest ta defeat this apocalyptic space monster that just showed up!
[Despite his usual dramatics that genuinely does sound like a lot of work.]

[misstrust]

A... apocalyptic.... space...?

[ What? ]

[laid]

Yeah! Something like that, anyway. It's something we thought'd been defeated a long time ago, but my old boss went and did some boneheaded thing that apparently just let it outta where it'd been sealed up, and now it's takin' up the whole dang sky and ruining the view!

[And threatening to destroy the world, but whatever.]

[misstrust]

I... see.

... Well, I think you'll certainly have your work cut out for you.

[laid]

Don't I? Don't ya think that I deserve a kiss fer good luck?

[He's clearly learned nothing from his stunt with Alex not but two days ago.]

[misstrust]

[ Dorothy hums, a little thoughtfully.

And then she leans in to leave a kiss on his cheek. ]

Good luck.

[laid]

[He keeps doing this shit and then being shocked when he actually gets away with it?]

Wh- Dorothy!?
[He's turned bright red.]

[antaressnipe]

[Someone is on two legs instead of four, but hopefully Dorothy has not already forgotten what Chiron looks like, ha.]

Then I will not keep you -- only to wish you well and that I am glad I had the chance to meet you, Miss Dorothy.

[misstrust]

... [ She points to his legs. ]

Is that how you--?!

[antaressnipe]

-- How I...?

[OH. Well. He can explain this!]

When I am summoned, it is usually in this form, yes. I am originally a centaur but since most would know my True Name, it's a disadvantage in war.

[misstrust]

... Were you just... summoned? Resummoned?

[antaressnipe]

I suppose it technically counts as a resummon... it is not as if I got very far before I was dragged back here.

[A light chuckle]

But it will be a useful advantage when I visit everyone.

[misstrust]

Yes, I imagine most worlds would be very startled to have a centaur in their lives suddenly...
