Ideal World Endgame

[idolpro]

Who: Beautiful dreamers
Where: The Game Tower
When: Day 271, morning

[When you wake, the folding chairs and divans from before have all been cleared away. You're lying asleep on the floor, healed of all injury.]

[You remember the events of the worlds you've visited as though visions seen in a dream -- though for those of you torn from your perfect existence, there is an ache inside you which will not fade for some days... the pain of something precious that has been lost.]

[Out beyond the windows of the tower, the sky is no longer a perfect blue; the vegetation is no longer as lush and inviting.]

[The view is of Tokyo-F, exactly as it's always been.]

[Near the far wall, there is an open book on a pedestal. The pages are empty. It is titled GUEST BOOK, and a pen waits nearby.]

GUEST BOOK | SOUVENIRS | WINNERS

...Well, if you ever want me to sit in and play interpreter, it wouldn't be the first time.

[selfpreservationist]

... perhaps we should. Have you around, I mean--not just to interpret.

[rollplayinghouse]

...I definitely wouldn't mind.

[selfpreservationist]

Let's ask him when he wakes up, then.

[rollplayinghouse]

...Okay. Yeah. It would be nice to do something... nice.

Ah, speaking of which—Nero thought we could do... a fancy family dinner, sometime.

[selfpreservationist]

He told me. I... think we should. Though, there might be a few fights at the table as long as Vergil's there.

[rollplayinghouse]

I was saying that as long as we're in an empty city with no one actually running the fancy restaurants, no one's going to get too upset if someone ends up getting stabbed at the dinner table.

[selfpreservationist]

[we should do it at the olive garden]

You raise a good point.

[rollplayinghouse]

So we should take advantage of it while we can. Maybe everyone will be able to behave by the time we're doing it somewhere real.

[just a tiny bit hesitant on that last point]

[selfpreservationist]

Maybe.

If we're lucky.

[rollplayinghouse]

I guess we'll have to see.

[selfpreservationist]

... are you ready to go back?

[rollplayinghouse]

...Yeah, if you are.
