FINAL CHAPTER

Final Chapter


Like the secrets that spilled out into the open, the night sky above Aira Niluc also seems to be running free; whatever part of the land you find yourself in at night, you'll find that the night sky has been painted with shooting stars. Watching them brings a certain comfort, the feeling of chicken soup on a cold winter day, the nostalgia of meeting an old friend again, a warm fuzzy feeling from your core.

A boost to your spirits is likely welcome at this point, and it seems be the only thing Aira Niluc has to offer you at this as no new locations open up to you this week. There's a certain energy in the air, but not all of that can be blamed on the shooting stars, given the explosion that happened this weekend. For now the chasm in what was once the fountain remains impassable, but who knows when that will change?

[[Welcome to Week 6! Feel free to make top levels at your discretion, and remember to note it in your header if you plan on investigating any locations. However, please try to keep investigations to Monday, Tuesday or Wednesday! You can also privately contact Hamelin at your leisure through Wednesday of this week.

Also, please note the shop's discount on magnifying glasses! ]]

Raven seemed to be doing well. The message with the eagle on it was from him; that's how I was always referred to, when we had to spend time apart from one another and I couldn't send him correspondence by name.

[He shifts a bit, moves to lean back up against one of the posts at the edge of the arena. Checking Dein Nomos over for damage; he doesn't really expect there to be any.]

I won't ask you to say anything to them on my behalf; I imagine there are a few that may take you up on that, however.

That's good to hear. I'm glad he's doing okay.

[ That is also kind of sweet that they came up with a codename for him, but. It's probably just guild stuff, so!! ]

And yeah, I'll ask again later. I'm glad that they're still present, at least.

[ Especially Riku. It's been way too long since he's gotten to hear Riku's voice, and it's a little unsettling, knowing that they're pretty much at the end. ]

I don't really know what's going on over there, but I hope they've been given a chance to fight for their lives, too.

[oh god tenn no please don't associate him with guild whatnot he'd rather die- ]

...It's likewise enough for me to know that they're still here for the time being. Anything I have to say to any of them is something I would prefer to say directly, and I'm certainly not going to make you do it.

[ GUILD! GUILD! ]

That's understandable. It's been a pretty stressful position to be in, but I have faith that we'll be able to pull through for them, too.

[he is working for the exact polar opposite of the guilds actually- ]

I don't have many other options; promises were made and all.

[It'll work...out??? Maybe??? His hopes honestly aren't high, but he's not willing to say so in front of Tenn.]

...My apologies for all of this. I tend to not handle loss well, to understate it.
incompletely: (tenn63)

[personal profile] incompletely 2021-07-14 04:50 am (UTC)(link)
No, it's alright. I think I understand why.

[ Alexei kind of mentioned feeling responsible for a lot of the losses he's experienced, so Tenn settles on a conclusive nod. ]

Is it easier to talk about something else? Or is there anything else you want to ask me about my role?
ideismo: (05. My purpose is set; my will defined)

[personal profile] ideismo 2021-07-14 05:12 am (UTC)(link)
I'll be all right. It's good of you to ask, however.

[...]

How was Riku? In the message you received.
incompletely: (tenn26)

[personal profile] incompletely 2021-07-14 05:14 am (UTC)(link)
[ Oh, that's nice of him to ask. Tenn gives him a little smile. ]

He seemed to be in good spirits. He had it in him to cheer me on, so I think that's a sign that he hasn't given in just yet. It was nice to hear from him; he sounded like his usual self.
ideismo: (17. Among the thoughts and tears)

[personal profile] ideismo 2021-07-14 05:17 am (UTC)(link)
Good.

[He does seem content with that answer, really.]

I'm sure that you miss him. But it's good to know that he's at least reasonably all right.
incompletely: (tenn47)

[personal profile] incompletely 2021-07-14 05:39 am (UTC)(link)
..Yeah. You're right on both counts.

[ ... ]

Riku and I actually got closer as a result of being brought here. It sounds strange, but it's true. There was a lot of distance between us for a couple of years, and I was only really able to talk to him as his brother when we ended up here.

[personal profile] ideismo 2021-07-14 06:59 pm (UTC)(link)
...It doesn't sound strange to me at all, actually.

[He gets it, though not with the same sort of relationship.]

Raven, Yeager, and I have known each other for well over ten years now. Out of the two of them, Raven knew me best; he still didn't know me at all, really.

We've all had the opportunity to talk here, however. It's been good for us.

[Case Five Problems aside.]

I'm glad that you were able to have the chance to talk to him here. This experience been strangely valuable for several of us.
