THE END 2.0: THE AFTERPARTY

[linkupmods]

THE END 2.0

THIS IS NOT GOODBYE (YET)

Welcome back to Sunset City! Kenir has been defeated, the barrier around the city has been broken, and the Temple has been restored to its usual condition.

Following your conversations with Braphine at the Temple, your local goddess of community and connection has granted you the gift of being able to go back to where you came from, or to visit other places where your bonds have been formed.

But. It takes time to prepare all these, no?

Which is why you have been granted some time. Time to yourself, with your new bonds and friendships, positive and/or negative - to spend time with each other before you go your separate ways.

Dennyhop, burger-making, movie time, karaoke, rest… Whatever you choose to do with your remaining time in Sunset City is up to you. It's safe to roam around, too, given that the residents seem to be themselves again – sure, there is conflict, there is anger, there is sadness to be found, but there is not anything depriving the people of the full human experience. Not right now, and hopefully, not for a long time. The sense of community is present among the residents…

…And perhaps among all of you, too. Much more so than when you first arrived.

OOC

...!

[linkmakers]

[ on Friday, you will be greeted by a familiar face! ]

[linkbreaker]

[Also a less familiar face.

Held in place by Mina.

Sulking and looking about 12.]

[vogelfrei]

[ ....... what's this creature. ]

They really made her do it, huh? How do you feel?

[linkbreaker]

Fuck off!!

[That's it that's his answer apparently. Rude.]

[vogelfrei]

[ Ah yes, that's... certainly an evocative response. McGillis raises an eyebrow. ]

You'll get used to it. At the very least, fighting with people will be easy in your current form.

[ Being a 12yo boy makes it very socially acceptable to be argumentative. ]

[beathollow]

...

( holy shit they really did it.

mafuyu doesn't say anything- she's sure kenny will blame her for this and hes not entirely wrong. but eventually... )

You're mad now. And that's valid. But don't let that stop you from living properly. I hope it goes well.

[linkbreaker]

SCREW YOU!!

[Much mature wow.]

[beathollow]

Yes, yes, get it out of your system.

[metagame]

[He sets down a few books about anger management and conflict resolution in front of Kenny.]

[linkbreaker]

[Tries to kick it over!

Immediately begins cursing up a storm because he just stubbed his toe fuck ow ow]

[metagame]

Oh, excellent. I didn't expect you'd volunteer for our first lesson.

[Atem watches Kenny with sick satisfaction.]

When you're human, there are consequences for your actions. In modern times, this is called "fuck around and find out."

[prozaic]

Hm. Small, you look quick on your feet... But time will tell what your actual capabilities are.

[Yes he's assessing Kenny's ability as a combatant.]

[linkbreaker]

[Immediately attempts to kick him in the shins.]

[prozaic]

[And he connects! Just barely (11). Then again, Shalem saw him coming and very obviously did not move, just to make a point-- Shalem has the power now, and Kenir does not.]

You have a long way to go, meaning you'll have a lot of time to find your true strength rather than simply copying that of others. [Even now, he's telling Kenir that he should be a proper god, and not a dumb shit.

Then again, if anyone were to lecture someone on the comportment of gods, it'd be someone who already met his own.]

Conflict is close to war, and gods of war tend to be dignified, even if others find them and their object of rule distasteful. Don't embarrass yourself when you're older, hm?

[cirquedesang]

[Huh. They really did it. And he sure is a little gremlin, isn't he? He has to wonder if that's because he was so weak, or if it's to make it easier for Mina to wrangle him.

Regardless, he's surely angry at all of them... but will also need some kind of a productive outlet, so.]

Happy birthday~

[Or, well, human-day, anyway.

Anyway, here, Kenny, have a bag from the local Perfect Purchase, with your very own, brand new N*nbendo Swatch, an extra controller set, and a small collection of games. Mostly multiplayer, party-oriented ones to play with (and against) new friends.

And Dokapon Kingdom. Dokapon Kingdom is Eternal, and he knows for a fact Kenny will love that one.]

[linkbreaker]

A real birthday would be better.

[Give him the delicious drama of insult over who gets invited and who doesn't, and of course that relative no one likes being present.]

What the fuck is this?

[cirquedesang]

You're right, of course.

[Shaking hands with the gremlin god on that one. Give him the drama!!]

Video games. Thought you might enjoy them.

[beautifulknight]

...Lady Mina.

I see that you are well.

[ This familiar face is one he'll gladly greet. ]

[linkmakers]

Hi Argenti! It's good to see you again! ...Even if I did technically see you just recently.

[But it's nice to meet him as Mina.]

[beautifulknight]

That is alright. In a way, yes, you did.

But, it is certainly different from how we are meeting now.

[ Enough for it to be considered a true reunion - even with technicalities in mind. ]

...How are you feeling?

[linkmakers]

I feel great! Alllllll human again.

Kind of. Mostly.

[CLOSE ENOUGH ANYWAY!!]

[fullmoonmutt]

Mina!

[ Guess who's getting a big hug, picked up by said hug, whirled around? That's right. It's Mina. ]

You're real again!

[linkmakers]

[Okay, that gets a laugh from her.]

I am! And I'm a liiiiiiiiiittle bit stronger this time - just to make sure Kenny doesn't get up to any trouble. I'm still mostly just human!

[fullmoonmutt]

[ Done with the hug-and-spin, he sets Mina down and steps back. ]

A little more strength never hurt anyone. How's it feel, being back?

[linkmakers]

I feel great! Very human-y, relatively speaking.

What about you? Did you get a chance to rest?
