THE END 2.0: THE AFTERPARTY
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
READ ME!!!!
- Here is your aftermath/afterparty post! Feel free to host your own FFA gatherings in this post or any wrap-up threads with your CR. The epilogue/goodbye post will go up tomorrow, Saturday 2/11 at 12pm EST, along with a tl:cr and love meme!

Thanks. I've never been here, but the breeze is pretty nice. Do you have a place like this, where you're going?

Isn't it just? I like coming here whenever I need to think about stuff. The waves and the general calm around here...it's super soothing.
[Sayaka shakes her head at the question, but...]
I'm not entirely sure. I imagine there must be! We've talked a little about Eorzea, Fray and I, but I never really did have a chance to ask him about specific places...
But...I'll be honest, I'm kind of excited to blindly go in for once in my life. Is that strange? There's so much new to experience soon...it's almost kind of overwhelming...

[ He was in Kirumi's palace. He knows what her world was like at a surface level, and that alone was bad enough. ]
I don't think it's weird. Actually, I would be excited, too. I love traveling and seeing new places, so I'd feel the same way as you.
I'm...glad you're moving on to better things.

[Sayaka can't help but beam at that a bit--sure, she feels a little bad for leaving her world behind, but there was nothing left for her anyway. Whether she went back or not, she'd be dead, and she didn't even know for certain if any of her life before was real.
She doesn't have to consider that now. Her new life will be the one that takes center stage now.]
...I really am glad you understand, Yoon, and--thank you. You've always been really kind to me, even at the worst of times, and I appreciate it. I'm excited to follow the path of my brothers, and see where it takes me now. That's what I've decided for myself.
What about you, though? I imagine you're going back home to help your friends, right, or is someone taking you with them elsewhere?
