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.]

I did put in for another upgrade... I'm hoping it includes the library I asked for, so you can nerd out in my place now ♥ And I promise it'll be more easy on the eyes. [ smirks. ]

[selfpreservationist]

--you're getting a library?

[420blazeit]

I asked for a set of explorable ruins, but that it also contain a library. If it’s there I bet it’ll have all sorts of interesting books. But I figured it’d be a nice place for us to spend time together... so, like, we don’t have to drive all the way out to the other place.

[selfpreservationist]

[oh... that sounds nice]

Is this how you're going to get me to never leave?

[420blazeit]

[ she chuckles. ] Maybe. [ she reaches out to touch his nose. ] I'm sure I could think of a couple of other things to help too. I do love spoiling you~ seeing you happy makes me happy. [ moves her finger to his lips. ] ...so how about I make that part of my new endgame, hm? Spoil Raven Stupid ♥~

[selfpreservationist]

[boop'd! he smiles against her finger]

I assumed that was already on the agenda.

[420blazeit]

Touché. [ removes her finger to give him a kiss. ] I guess I could never really hide that, huh?

But I want to hear about what you want too. I really want this to be an *us* sorta thing. [ ... ] But, uh, speaking of... us... [ sits back a bit and rubs the back of her neck, suddenly looking sheepish. ] I, ah, I'm not usually one for labels and... stuff, but, like, you mean a lot to me and... [ averts her gaze, face coloring a deep shade of red as she trails off and mumbles incoherently. ]

[selfpreservationist]

... Dva, do you want to be my girlfriend?

[420blazeit]

Yes.

[selfpreservationist]

[makes a show of thinking very deeply about it, obviously not serious]

Hmmmm...

[420blazeit]

...or, like, something special. IDK. I- I just want to be yours and for you to be... m- mine...

[selfpreservationist]

[touches her cheek]

You fool. There was no question. You were always mine.

[420blazeit]

Raven. [ she can feel herself expiring on the spot. ] Good. I... I wouldn't want it any other way.

[selfpreservationist]

... neither would I.

[420blazeit]

Kiiinda wish we weren't sitting in the middle of the lobby right now.

[selfpreservationist]

[leans in and kisses her, soft and chaste]

Behave. I'll come by later.

[420blazeit]

But I don't want to.

[ greedily accepts the kiss and does her best to keep from turning it into something more. ]

[selfpreservationist]

[

pinches her butt]

Now, now.

[420blazeit]

...n- not helping Rav.

It's like you're purposely trying to rile me up now.

[selfpreservationist]

Oh. Sorry.

[removes his hand :x]

[420blazeit]

[ she leans over his shoulder and nips at his ear. ]

You should know by now I really don't mind, but it will only make it harder to let you go when you try to leave.

[selfpreservationist]

[/////]

Isn't that how it always is, with us...

[420blazeit]

I guess we just have that effect on each other.
