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...

[stillnot]

They wouldn't get taken from us now, right?

[ she actually looks a little alarmed because she didn't think about? the phses being taken away? and she would like to address that concern before. the rest of that. hm. ]

[reconnective]

Nah. I think it's just that we don't have to take them with us. But they're ours to keep for however long we want.

[stillnot]

Then... Do you think you'll be able to use yours? Where you're going?

[reconnective]

...only one way to find out. [there's a light smile. I still can't leave, Clem. I have to go. But...if it works, we can send messages.

[stillnot]

[ she swats at him lightly. ]

I know. That's what I mean.

I can keep you company. Even if it's only through messages. And you can... Keep me updated. On whatever weird shit happens to you.

[reconnective]

[he laughs lightly but lets her swat him.]

Yeah, that could work. [he pulls out his phs and considers it.] Too bad these things don't have a picture mode. It'd be nice to see how things were going in your world.

[stillnot]

Mm. Repairs will be slow. You'll probably be able to come see them in person before that much even changes.

[ she is. trying to talk optimistically. it's a struggle? but she's trying. ]

[reconnective]

Yeah? I can probably help out when I get there with whatever you need. [optimism is better than crushing reality, so! haha!

but oh. he suddenly perks up.]

Oh! My powers are back. [he grins.] Wanna see something cool?

[stillnot]

No.

[ ... she's kidding? ]

[reconnective]

Too bad. [he knows she's kidding at least. but give him a second and he'll back up, giving himself some space before opening his hand and summoning something weird.]

Take a look.

[stillnot]

[ okay the act of summoning it is, she has to admit, pretty fucking cool. like, she would really like to be able to summon weapons like that?

but she's just. looking at that for a long moment. ]

... That looks easy to hurt yourself with.

[reconnective]

I've been using it for a while. And it can change forms whenever I want it to. The whole idea is for it to make it easy to hurt monsters instead.

[and yet he looks fairly pleased with himself.]

[stillnot]

[ why is it somehow more jarring to see sora with that monstrosity than to see him with swords or seeing children with guns ]

Oh yeah? Are the other forms less... Pointy?

[reconnective]

Well...[after a few moments, he dismisses ultima with a flash of light, and instead the kingdom key appears in his hand.] You mean something like this?

[stillnot]

[ the other one was a nightmare and this one is... cartoony? ]

And you just... Fight with that?

[ you just bash things? with a giant key? she already knew this but seeing it person is. okay. ]

[reconnective]

This and my magic, yeah. [he knows what she's thinking.] It's not that different than fighting with a sword. You can touch it if you want.

[since it's pretty much just metal and magic.]

[stillnot]

[ she does reach out to like - feel the blunt edges of the key part? it's not even sharp. and sure, she's had to fight with a baseball bat or a hammer before, but knives are really much more convenient? ]

Maybe the other one is better, after all.

[reconnective]

[even from touching she can probably figure that's heavy, too.]

Stop thinking of it like a real sword. [he's kind of teasing, and because he can he lets the kingdom key fade before resummoning oathkeeper.] It's like I told you, they all have different abilities, too.

[stillnot]

Right, magic.

[ of course. ]

[reconnective]

[...she doesn't need this, but he'll hold up oathkeeper and there's a light murmur of "heal" before she'll see a faint green light and flower-y bells cast over her.

she's not even injured but at least she'll feel rejuvenated like she's had a good night's rest? thanks sora.]

Magic.

[stillnot]

[ softly: ]

What the fuck?

[reconnective]

Curaga. [he grins.] Most of my other spells cause a lot of damage, but thought you could use this one.

[stillnot]

I want that.

[ the first time she has had positive feelings or words for magic. and it's just her going 'gimme' at having curaga..... she knows that's impossible, though. she's joking. ]

[reconnective]

[the response gets him to laugh at least.]

I don't think I--oh! [oh? give him a second. i refuse to believe sora keeps his entire inventory in his pockets because that would mean keeping food and tents and all sorts of shit there, so there's a moment where i am probably wrong and soon a small jar appears that he'll hand to her.]

It's not quite the same, but it's a pretty powerful potion. There should be enough in there for three people.

[stillnot]

[ ........ she takes this, but very dubiously. ]

Uh. Alright.

[ what the fuck ]
