WEEK SIX: ENDGAME

[cluedin]

FAREWELL

As Sunday morning comes, you'll find that nothing in the mansion has changed at all. The evils within have been expelled, a piping hot breakfast is served at seven, and the house is cleaned up in tip-top shape. In fact, everything appears to be as calm as ever as everyone is given freedom over the mansion.

All is quiet for a majority of the morning before there's a sudden rumble from the backyard. As guests rush to look, they will see hundreds and hundreds of ghostly figures rise up from the grave, immediately solidifying. Those whom have unattended business (such as reclaiming their items) will linger, but the rest will promptly leave the property. This was the final hold the house had over Master Blue and the guests. You have successfully severed the chains and freed everyone.

It's a little after noon that guests will hear a victory sort of fanfare being played on that familiar piano. As they're drawn to the ballroom, they will once again find Peach, Plum, and Pumpkin though perhaps dressed in different attire today. Plum plays the piano as Peach lounges on top to occasionally help with her tail as Pumpkin sits on the bench with her game. When the song has finished, they speak in unison.

"Congratulations everyone. The Master has a message for you."

The soft glowing orb from yesterday floats up from behind the piano, lingering next to the girls. Soon, everyone will hear a faint, echo-y tone that sends shivers up their spines once more inside their heads.

"Thanks for doing your part. You sure are smart. Please accept this gift."

The same unseen orchestra from your arrival begins to play as the lights brighten, a lavish feast spread before you and the mansion decorated instantly with balloons, streamers, and confetti. All guests will find themselves in party attire, though perhaps a little more relaxed. Your communication necklaces remain in tact, and seem to be yours for the keeping. They will continue to function even as you leave. On the table there lays a box of small green orbs, a sign reading "PORTALS" before it. It seems as though these are your way home when you're ready...and look at that. You aren't forced to return to where you came. Take your time and think of how you wish for your journey to proceed. And who knows? Maybe starting a new journey isn't so hard after all.

But goodbyes are never easy either. Time is yours, little monsters. Take all the time you need for your farewells.

TALK TO PEACH

[cluedin]

[voidbreaker]

[ he's immediately coming in for an ear scritch ]

You doin' ok Cobbler?

TALK TO PLUM

[cluedin]

[voidbreaker]

[ hello he's here to check up on the bun after yesterday. ]

TALK TO PUMPKIN

[cluedin]

[survivaltricks]

One last game for the road?

[since she's playing!!]

TALK...TO BLUE?

[cluedin]

[...Blue will remain as an orb, however.]

[oathic]

[...]

Hey. Is this the outcome you were hoping for?

[survivaltricks]

[. . . honestly, Akira spends a few minutes just. . . stretching out his newly healed leg, admiring the way it bends cleanly at the knee as he re-familiarizes himself with its comfortable weight]

[and then]

[with a wide grin, he launches himself into a DOUBLE BACKHAND SPRING, landing gracefully in a crouch once he is finished]

Hah--!

[he seems DELIGHTED]

[voidbreaker]

[ just claps in the background. ]

Congrats on having two legs again.

[infire]

[ all y'all are nyooming to the npcs but some of us are leaving them to it. once the dead show up, she's handing off the good luck charm and headphones to their rightful owners and going to the box of stuff prepared for them.

portals... huh.

well she's not leaving yet, but brilith is taking one and moving to a relatively unoccupied space, whether that's indoors or outdoors, because there's something else that is very important for her to test. she has the staff, so she's giving it a thought, and... a moment later, brightly colored flames flare to life and whirl around her and the staff.

she seems satisfied by this.

but she doesn't plan to stick around for long - only as long as it takes for agni to leave. you'll have to catch her before then if you want to talk, because she won't seek out anyone on her own. ]

[madburnout]

[Cool flames, Brilith!!!!!]

You'll be going back?

[oathic]

[well, agni's all healed now, and you can tell his powers are back by the way his hair flares and flickers, as if made of a fire that doesn't burn.

doesn't seem like he intends to stick around for long, though. he's already grabbed his green orb—now, he's just waiting for one more thing.]

[unanswering]

[well, he's going to be standing back slightly because of the fire hair, just in case? but.]

Ready to get out of here, are you?

[counterclocked]

[Hunter, for his part, doesn't want to linger too long - he's heading towards the table with the portals on it and picking his up, laying the necklace down on the table as he does. Still, there are people he wants to say goodbye to, and when he sees one of them—]

...Thanks for everything. You did a good job.

[There are only a few people that won't get that compliment.]

[constellates]

[what the heckie

she's retrieving hunter's necklace for a moment before walking up to him with it]

... You are sure you cannot have it?

[miscakes]

option a: mods said i could

[Well. This sure is a happy ending! Once Akechi becomes aware of the fact that their powers are back, he is going to... curiously reach for his face, as if trying to grasp something — and suddenly yank his hand away. Immediately, something will manifest itself behind him, chilling.

... He is very delighted by this turn of events, and will start to laugh as he dismisses his Persona. This bitch just got a taste of those sweet, sweet endorphins. Hewwo? Come say hi to him, or maybe just whisper what the fuck from a distance and move on.]

option b: THIS ONE IS FOR YOU, TY

[At some point before everyone says their final goodbyes, Akechi will be found sorting through the loot he acquired during his stay here. It is at that point that one of the badges he collected will snag on his sleeve, and suddenly — Akechi is replaced by another dumb bitch. A cuter dumb bitch.

Don't mind him as he immediately rips off the badge to return to his human form.]

wildcard.

[If neither of the above prompts vibes with you, feel free to make up your own! Akechi won't leave until Akira and Luna do, so he can easily be found anywhere in the house for those who wish to say their goodbyes. Come at him.]

a because as much as i want b this is funnier

[survivaltricks]

[. . . . . .]

Show off.

[HE CAN DO ONE BETTER]

[voidbreaker]

[ ash is just stood at the table and turning his portal over in his hands, thoughtfully. the necklace is in his other hand, and he glances between it and the table like he's not sure whether to take it or not. ]

Pain in the ass.

Guess it's time to go face the music.

[ whatever that is. ]

[hamaoned]

[ just making his rounds with the farewells, but, uh, aren't people supposed to be (mostly) happy??? ]

Face the music?

[swordflash]

[Zenitsu returns the headband and hood to their rightful owners. Then he picks up a single green orb, but doesn't take his leave or reach for another orb yet. He stands off to the side of the table instead, bringing both hands up to cup his ears in a seeming daze.

The sounds that went silent since he came here have returned. The natures, as well as the surface thoughts and feelings, of the people around him reach his ears once more. What does he hear from you?

He steps aside when someone else approaches the table to grab an orb. After a moment, he asks:]

Do you hear that?

[hamaoned]

[ ken will have stopped avoiding the table by this point but is still unable to make a solid choice. though apparently they can take multiple but that doesn't make things any better.... regardless, zenitsu can just hear calmness from ken. obviously he's apprehensive but he's at peace. ]

Hear what?

[mammoney]

a. congrats on becoming a demon again, mammon

[There's a certain feeling in the air. Mammon pauses in the middle of it all, pondering. Wait, if everything is back to the way it was, then...]

[He has to. He has to try. Suddenly, there's a glow about him, and when the glow subsides, Mammon looks... different. The demon stares at himself, before throwing up his hands, laughing.]

Hell yeah!! I'm back, baby!! [He stretches his wings, grinning widely.] Haha, man, I missed this soooo much!!

[Say hello to the Avatar of Greed as he Should Be. He's got a tail too but we have no confirmation of how the tail looks like THANKS OBEY ME and you can be sure its wagging a bit.]

b. a bit of ballet

[Later, there's pleasant laughter coming from the ballroom.]

[Turn the corner, and you'll automatically see it - Mammon, in all his demon glory, wings folded on his back, and Melt, the ever graceful ballerina. They're dancing together, and the sounds of a plaintive emotional song plays in the background. The dance is nothing complex, but they're both easy on their feet, and they seem to understand each other as they move on the ballroom floor, close as can be.]

[Both demon and Alter Ego are blissfully in the moment, with large smiles on their faces. Watch long enough, and at times when the music swells and the twirls start, they lean in for quick, momentary kisses.]

[Mammon's face is red as can be. And yet, he's never seemed happier.]

[You can come up and bother them both if you want. Say hello to the happy couple.]

[hamaoned]

[ i want some actual mammon cr before i die. but wow i wish i could say that ken is shocked to see mammon as a demon but he became a dog and a dog girl yesterday so who the fuck knows anything anymore. ]

So, you really were a demon all of this time.

[ ken has had so many realizations and awakenings about mammon in the last 48 hours it's kind of. much??? ]

[goldpeony]

[Well, he hasn't had his shit in so long, he is absolutely outside standing on top of a sword in the air. It looks like this, except he's several yards off the ground. All at once, he does a flourishingly backflip and lands on the ground neatly beside a longbow and quiver.

When he stands, the gold sword is already zooming back to his hand. He catches it, twirls it, and then returns it to the sheath at his side, seeming immensely satisfied.]

[shortfornow]

[ He sees Jin Ling, and immediately hides something behind his back. It looks like it was white in color? Hm. ]

So this is cultivation.

[disreguarded]

[ catch beau just - laughing. she's finally able to do her dope monk shit, which means she's doing wall jumps and kickflips down the fucking stairs. it's endgame i get all the natural twenties i want.

she stuffs her face, she says goodbye to the npcs - but. she isn't leaving quite yet. she has stuff she has to say to people, and she has to decide what she's doing with these portals.

please come say goodbye - maybe it doesn't have to be the last goodbye, but she feels... a lot, about a lot of people. and they should know it. ]

[madburnout]

[sick flips bro

Anyway, Lio's just watching until she's chillin' out some, wandering up.]

You're going back?

[burningrescue]

a. just galo

[Galo is getting ready to leave, then. He's packing up all of his cool items, and looking at the portals, frowning a little.]

How come I don't have any powers?

b. galolio

[Or you can have Galo and Lio together if you want. They're standing in the ballroom, talking to each other about something, and their expressions are serious, although they're holding hands. Still, you can come interrupt if you want to talk to them together.]

a

[constellates]

[when has anya ever missed the chance to needlessly add to galo's ego]

Мощный. Because Galo is very powerful already, I think. Would not be fair?

[constellates]

[anya will at first tentatively approach the table with the gift, because she's not sure if she feels right accepting anything when she could've worked harder - but then she realizes it says PORTALS and her whole expression just lights up like the brightest christmas lights you've ever seen.]

В самом деле? Really? Ahh, yay! ♥ Спасибо! Thank you, thank you!

[she'll carefully cradle it in her hands before doing a happy little spin, turning to the closest person with the same delighted smile]

Take one too? Куда? Where will you go?

[unanswering]

Just home, for me.

[but he looks pleased at all this, anyway. he's probably taking some spares to ensure no one gets stuck if they run out while visiting modao world.]

But it seems you'll be able to visit after all.

[hamaoned]

[ he is not a dog or a girl for this and instead he's just himself. he'll be standing a ways from the portals and fiddling with phoenix's pin in his hand. every so often, there can be a flickering ghost(???) of a sorts behind him, but he doesn't seem to be bothered by it. it's normal? totally normal.

if anything, this will likely be the happiest that ken has been since this whole show started. ]

I guess this is where we start saying our good byes.

[shortfornow]

Ah, there you are. Do you have-

[ Pausing as he notices that ghost flickering back there. That's interesting. ]

A phone?

[shortfornow]

I. Cleaning?

[ There's Dazai, dressed in his old clothing and bandages, approaching the tables with an empty cup. He's going to carefully scoop some of the confetti into it, filling it up slowly. What is he up to? ]

II. Bye?

[ Later, he can be found looking at the boxes of portal. Just going to pick a couple up to pocket into his large coat. ]

Ah, I wonder what should I do...

[ He seems to be thinking pretty hard. He's standing pretty close to the box of portals. Careful about touching him if you have abilities, because any contact with him will nullify it completely. ]

i

[kazokun]

What are you up to.

[ DROP THE CONFETTI, MISTER ]

[unanswering]

i-

[well, you might have to go looking for nie huaisang after he's tracked down a couple specific people to talk. he's returned to somewhere in the mansion that he's been a little more comfortable, hanging out in the drawing room. he's painting something, sort of, but it's more idle patterns and swirls of watercolor bleeding into each other-- he's doing this to keep his hands busy and because it's chill, more than making something specific.

so you'll find him here if you're tracking him down, making something abstract in green and blue and gold.]

ii-

[or if you catch him around the tables-- he's keeping the necklace, it's still around his neck, but he's kind of lingering around the portal orbs for a minute. considering them, thinking about it a little.

he ultimately only takes the one that he'll need to go home, though. at least for now. maybe he'll keep some spares at home to make sure no one who visits jin ling gets stranded, or in case he changes his mind later--

but for now he's heading away from them with just the one.]

i

[brokethefirst]

[now that teej has so kindly posted tl;cr it's time to finally ruin it by tagging them back

Luna will keep her distance at first as he paints, not wanting to interrupt a genuine moment of solitude. But eventually, she'll cross the room with a careful step, keeping her voice quiet.]

...I guess I shouldn't be surprised to find you here. You've always seemed to take comfort from this even the first few days we were here, haven't you? [She remembers sitting in the conservatory, watching him draw what few flowers that they had to view.]

[getdrekt]

A. FIRST AND LAST

[welp

before noon, catch Asch (and for once, this isn't hard) tucked away in an overstuffed armchair, back turned to any obvious lines of sight. fallen away from his face is his invisibility mask—which probably wouldn't have helped as much as he'd have liked, considering Baymax is sitting, very visibly, in the armchair immediately across, watching him.

and he's... actually sleeping. deeply.

maybe don't wake him up—seems like it's been a while since he slept like this.

(or do because it's endgame and it'll be funny)]

B. NO GOODBYES

[when noon hits, Asch is there with everyone else, dressed in the same clothes he arrived in, plus uno sword because mods said I could and it'll make him happy. Baymax has a lil bow tie on, and is tagging after Asch pleasantly, excusing himself every time someone bumps into him.

he's... considerably more subdued than he usually is, and just looks kind of tired. this does not matter, because if you try to make eye contact with him, he just gives you a nod, and seems to disperse invisibly into the crowd. hm. this doesn't work as well as it should though, because then Baymax is just running to keep up?

anyway.

he makes it to the boxes of portals, surreptitiously takes one (1)--

--and nyooms to the closest side room (again, with Baymax chugging behind..........)

the portal is open. his communicator necklace is nowhere in sight.

sayonara, suckers. go out and live your best lives.]

C. I'VE GOT TO BE DRAMATIC. I'VE GOT TO. [WILD]

[HIT ME UP FOR LITERALLY ANYTHING YOU KNOW WHAT I'M ABOUT AYYYYY LOVE YALL SO MUCH]

B

[constellates]

[You know, she was hoping he wouldn't pull something like this - but she supposes she's not surprised either. And that's why Anya is going to catch Asch's wrist just before he nyooms out of existence, holding onto it with both hands and using all her weight to try to keep him from going.]

Неправильно! Going wrong way!

Girls and Blue this way....!

[recrypt]

[ maybe you're looking for 45, for some unbeknownst reason. maybe she's a little less noticeable than some of the others, because unlike some extra hos around here sometimes a roomba is just a roomba, though all y'all and your phones are making a lot of electronic noise for her to ignore and not just hack right now. the sonic amplifier has been returned to its owner, and most of the miscellaneous junk she's picked up is just chillin.

as it is, she's also hanging by the portals with an unreadable expression, one of the orbs in her hand. which is to say it's the same smile that's apparently put the fear of 45 into the half of the mansion that thought she was shady af, it's fine.

the necklace hangs around her neck alongside her dogtags, and to some people, she might wonder aloud: ] How useful do you think this might be, really? All things considered.

[ otherwise something something say your farewells, do your shenanigans, this can be a wildcard for whatever you want if you will it to be ]

[shortforever]

I'd say it's pretty damn useful, if it lets us stay in contact.

[Hi 45, here's Chuuya. He's pocketing some of the portals himself.]

[slobjection]

[ whoever you are, whatever you're doing.... phoenix is there. ]

[ and he offers you a pudding. yes. ]

One for the road?

[recrypt]

[ i thought phoenix established that he wasn't giving the roombas pudding because luna went :| at him ]

No more cryptic comments, hm?

[sadiskick]

i.

[ Powers are back, so that means Meltryllis' legs are no longer butter knife legs.

They're unfairly sharp knife legs, and she tests them against the nearest piece of furniture, cleaning cleaving it in two.

She smiles with satisfaction. ]

That's much better.

ii. wild card

[ She's not one who cares too much for goodbyes, but she can be flagged down for whatever. ]

i

[counterclocked]

[polite golf clapping in the background]

[wakizashis]

[ y'all and your return of the fancy abilities. hori's just clutching onto his true body now that he can feel the connection to it again in one hand and the small orb in his other. he'll be sticking just around long enough say farewell to those who wish it, but he won't be seeking out too many people on his own. there's someone he needs to return to after all, and he's anxious to go ]

[soba]

[ toi, like others, is not really seeking anyone out. he's not trying to run either though, at least.

instead he's sitting on the ground with an orb placed in front of him. he's just staring very intently at it? he's pretty lost in doubt, and his only movement is when he reaches over to pick up a ruler to

very aggressively stab the dirt? with it? and then set the ruler back down. apparently this is soothing to him. ]

[sadiskick]

[ punkass bitch

Meltryllis invades his personal space. Exactly like the icon. ]
