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...

[ xie lian's bright, loud laughter can be heard from just about anywhere nearby -- he beams at hua cheng when they slow down. there are butterflies in his hair, and attached to his clothes, but xie lian barely takes notice of it.

instead, he just beams at hua cheng, grabs his face in both hands, and kisses him smack on the mouth right there in front of god and everyone. ♥ ]

[supremity]

[ After everything, hearing his laughter - and knowing that just a few steps, and they can go back to Zhongguo, they can take care of everything, and then be home in Puji Shrine again... his face breaks out into a splitting grin up at him, unable to help himself.

Although the kiss certainly does distract him. If gege doesn't care that they're kissing in front of the entire Realm, then he's certainly not going to, either. As he just holds him up in his arms, he kisses him back - you can probably see how he's emotionally and mentally turned into a puddle. ]

[dianxias]

[ xie lian's just going to kiss him for a minute, his feet aren't even on the ground. he does not care. when he pulls back to smile at hua cheng a little further, hua cheng is smiling back? and his smile is so radiant and lights up his whole face and there are butterflies everywhere, and things are normal, and -

yeah xie lian just dives in to kiss him again like three more times. absolutely disgusting. ]

[supremity]

[ Probably a miracle that his knees don't go out? It's fine. But Hua Cheng wilts under the additional onslaught of kisses, laughing between them before he moves to carefully set Xie Lian back on his feet after they stop long enough.

... though. ]

Oh, wait, wait - [ And then he goes to kiss him again, scooping his face up and leaning into it. Anybody that is trying to pretend this isn't happening will probably feel something that's only really comparable to sudden static - not the shock, but the hair-raising effect - as he pours spiritual energy into Xie Lian. ]

[dianxias]

[ oh!! yes, this is important! very important. xie lian hums, a little surprised noise. his foot pops up like a disney princess...

and this time when hua cheng pulls back he does sway a little, beaming up at him like the sun is shining right here in his arms.

he opens his mouth, like he's going to say something. ] ...

[ nope one more kiss. ]

[supremity]

[ Unlike the kisses shared before they arrived in the Realm, sharing spiritual energy is... an afterthought, actually. But any excuse is a good one, even if that excuse has now become "just because." He hums as he pulls back, apparently satisfied.

...

Nope! One more kiss turns into, like, five more kisses, until Hua Cheng ends it by peppering Xie Lian's face with them, still cradling it in his hands. He can't just smile up at him like he's the reason the sun is shining and not expect to get kissed now that the dam's broken. ]

[dianxias]

[ gross. disgusting! terrible.

when this onslaught of public affection finally stops, xie lian settles again, rubbing at his cheeks. his face hurts from smiling. ]

Thank you, San Lang. It's been a while - it feels good!

[ to have some spiritual energy back! ] We have much to do, when we return. Mt. Tonglu awaits.

[supremity]

En, of course, gege. [ He draws his hands back, though he wants to reach them out again almost immediately afterwards, he behaves. Somewhat. ] Better to be prepared for what's ahead, all things considered.

[ ... uuuu.

Hua Cheng lifts his hands up, fingers a little spread, like he's offering to just. Hold hands like this. Staring stupidly at each other. ]

[dianxias]

Indeed. [ he literally immediately takes his hand, yeah. threading their fingers together - and even just that has him smiling again. his cheeks are pink. ]

...How nice it is, to be able to do such things.

[ tapping his thumb against his left hand!! it's so nice. ]

[supremity]

[ Now that they're done being kissy - for now? - the butterflies start to settle more and more on Xie Lian. His hair, his hat, his back, as they start to flock to him. Hua Cheng makes no move to stop them. ]

... mm. While it didn't stop me from holding you, before, I like this much better.

[ squeeze ]

[dianxias]

[ the manner in which hua cheng says that gets xie lian's face to turn pink, and he clears his throat. ] ...I do, too.

[ you were just kissing him like five seconds ago why is this embarrassing ]

I'm glad to see you no matter how you look, but... to see you in your infinite glory once more is reassuring, San Lang. And - to be able to call you by your name with no hesitation is, too.
