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

Alright.

I'll wait for my last unitmate to come, then. We've only got seven of us.

[bondsofsuffering]

Then I'll wait until you've sent yours, too.

[enlightenedatheist]

Better keep your word.

[ stops, whatever he's doing. he is no longer typing, but he does hit the screen one more time ]

[bondsofsuffering]

You don't trust me to?

[enlightenedatheist]

I'm just making sure.

[bondsofsuffering]

Just let me know when and I'll send it out... once I have it written, anyway.

[enlightenedatheist]

I didn't say I was writing it.

[bondsofsuffering]

[enlightenedatheist]

Tit-for-tat, right?

[bondsofsuffering]

So what exactly am I actually doing?

[enlightenedatheist]

Tell them, in person. I'll record when I do it and send it to you.

[bondsofsuffering]

[Hhhhhhhhhhhh.]

Tit-for-tat.

[enlightenedatheist]

Tit-for-tat.

[bondsofsuffering]

You're the worst.

[enlightenedatheist]

That's me.

[ getting himself up ]

If you're done, I'm going to take the leftovers upstairs.

[bondsofsuffering]

Ah, I can come with.

[enlightenedatheist]

[ already heading for the door, so izanagi won't catch his expression ]

Sure.
