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.]

ASCIAN WORLD

[temperedinpride]

Anyone who gained a necklace from Lahabrea, an earring from Emet-Selch, or a bracelet from Elidibus still has those! All the other crystals or items have vanished.

You also get a copy of your personal fear vision in poem form! How nice.

[time5kip]

[ Well that feels just terrible thank you

Between the pain caused by being ripped away from his ideal world and what he remembers from the rest he is NOT HAVING A GOOD TIME. but he's also definitely going to be on the lookout for 2 ascians ]

you are amazing

[regale]

You get to keep your light stick!

You also get a very sparkly blue and yellow "THANK YOU FOR COMING!" poster, covered with feathers and roses, signed in gold and silver by "the cast".

in the garden

[forgottenmercy]

Anyone who picked up a maiden scripture scroll from the maze can keep it.

Also everyone gets a preserved flower crown.

[Glory wakes with a headache and slightly watery eyes. At least that means she can get away with covertly wiping the tears away with her sleeve under the cover of holding her head and groaning, which she does reflexively as she sits up.

Only after that does she actually look around.]

Wh... Ah...

[regale]

[ Hm. Yeah, no, it's not a good time to process any of that. You know when a good time will be? Probably never.

So it's time to pretend he's still asleep. ]

Amaaaazing.. . . . . ♪

[temperedinpride]

[What a lovely dream to wake up from--

Actually no not at all.

Lahabrea is just going to stay here on the floor and turn over on his side, curling into a ball and putting his hand over his face and mask. It's not a very extreme reaction and he isn't making much noise but he is hyperventilating if you get close enough to notice that.]

shrike's world, or: the world and anything worse

[softlyfalling]

If you found Shrike's original poetry, the poetry she was currently reading, or any fictional letters, you can keep those.

Everyone gets her homemade tofu recipe.

Nero does not get to keep the meat rock.

[time5kip]

[ he knew it was going to be bad but he didn't expect it to be THIS BAD.

He's going to sit next to him immediately and place a hand on his back, trying to soothe him as much as he's able ]

Hold your breath for 10 to 15 seconds at a time, then resume.

Glory's world

[rollplayinghouse]

I don't think anyone grabbed anything that was not knives or swords (which you can't have), let me know if I am forgetting something.

HOWEVER you can hang on to your emotional effects for a little while, if you want to desire a hug or to get stabbed or whatever else.

[temperedinpride]

[He isn't screaming so frankly he's doing fantastic.

He does listen, or tries to, but really he only manages gasping at intervals instead.]

[artisticliberty]

[as he wakes up he's immediately looking around for five]

--Valour!

[selfpreservationist]

[looking kind of wrecked himself, but approaching her nonetheless]

Glory...?

[time5kip]

All right this is clearly not working. Jesus, where's a paper bag when you need it.

[ he sighs ]

Focus on my voice, breathe as I count.

[ and he is starting to count for him, checking to ser if that helps anything ]

[time5kip]

[ GOD. He remembers some details but it's all so vague and painful to recall now. How much does he have to bullshit!! ]

Glad to see you in one piece.

[temperedinpride]

[Where IS a paper bag when you need it!

He is definitely crying not that it's visible, but there's that wet sound to his breathing and the hitches of his breath that are silent sobs.

He does, however, try to keep time with Five's counting. It's only so effective.]

[mind_blown]

Five.

[artisticliberty]

[looking him over for visible signs of injury or distress. his tail is POOFED and it is FLAT down by his legs because he instinctively knows he was a BAD DOG]

I should be saying that to you. Are you alright?

[time5kip]

[ this is officially way above his emotional competency now and he feels like he should leave it to Baritones. But it doesn't feel right to leave him therr so he will extremely awkwardly keep rubbing his back and count for him, slowly, trying to get him to steady his breathing ]

[rollplayinghouse]

Raven...

[She blinks at him blearily a few times as she starts to remember things, and progressively looks more emotional and then a little embarrassed]

[innerdaemons]

[ ohhh dear.

did he do this?? he honestly had no idea what a lot of the other people in that boss fight were doing so he doesn't know why exactly Lahabrea is in this condition he can only Assume

he bends down on his knees ]

And how are you faring?

[time5kip]

[ he is trying to kerp his cool but he's visibly agitated, and not at all fine ]

I've been better, but I'll survive.
