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!

[It's a simple process, sure, but in some ways, the easier a process is, the more elegant it appears when executed with finesse.]

Hah. I have decades on you... if our positions were reversed...

[Then McGillis would know him more intimately than he knew himself...]

But, yes. They're... the only books I keep with me, actually.

[Too busy to read, you understand.]

[ Looking at Celeste as some kind of vision from his future is... weird, and he elects to not entertain the thought any further. It is true, at least, that the man had significantly more time for introspection.

McGillis, at least, likes to muse on things. If Celeste does too... Well, it's terrifying to imagine what 90 years would do to such a brain.

But anyway! He does not understand, actually! ]


The only ones?

[ WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU DON'T READ. He looks... concerned. ]

[...Perhaps a slightly more whimsical vision from the future, but that's certainly the circus influence.

But. Oh. That concerned face...]


Yyyyes? I. Tend to use my free time to practice...

[The hyperfixation is real.]

[ ... he can understand prioritizing your craft, but... ]

Maybe the similarities between us are more superficial than thought.

[ He is... probably joking.

Books are an integral part of his being, okay!! ]
