bluesclues | WEEK SIX: ENDGAME

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.

[ ...and there it goes again, fading as she turns her eyes away. even before, brilith never liked someone worrying about. ]

Well. There's nothing more for him to worry about, now that we're all free to leave this place.

[ she knows that isn't what meltryllis meant.

but she's not going to acknowledge that, if she can help it. ]

[ Even Meltryllis can tell that Brilith has Problems, but she doesn't know or care enough to press.

She smiles. ]

I'll let you put up that veil. Others can tear it off at their own leisure.

...Just make sure that he's happy enough not to be bothered with worrying, okay?

[ and a moment later, quietly: ]

Thank you.

Well, he's easy enough to distract.

[ It's easy enough to capitalize on Mammon's sins. ]

What is there to thank me for?

True enough.

[ somehow she manages not to grimace at that, but. that isn't her business, as long as it isn't where she can see it! ]

Hm, for not interrogating me, I suppose. It gets tiring, having to answer the same questions over and over.

[ not that she thinks melt is interested, but. it's a nice change. ]

[ She meant MAMMON IS STUPID, NOT HORNY. Even if that's also true. ]

I at least understand how boring that can get. So do something that excites you.

[ he's both and unfortunately we all know it. anyway brilith just shrugs lightly. ]

There isn't much left that does excite me, in this life. Maybe in the next one.

...A shame I couldn't see a proper dance from you, though.
