Final Chapter

monday

wednesday

thursday

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! ]]

[Nodding!!]

We must release them into the wild so they aren't trapped here!

[of course he's here for this.]

We can't leave a single fish behind!

[ideismo]

...I appreciate your enthusiasm, I suppose.

[Good god.]

Still restless, I take it.

[scythegun]

Unbelievably so. I don't mind training, but it's significantly more fun when there's something to fight.

[He misses monsters so much.]

[ideismo]

I don't disagree with you.

[...]

We can spar a few rounds if you'd like. Once I'm done with the fish.

[scythegun]

I would like that, as long as you don't break my ribs again.

[Were they even broken the first time??? Who knows.]

...Actually, there... is something I'd like to ask you to help me with after we spar. It isn't setting anything on fire.

[ideismo]

[Well, he wasn't expecting that.]

Oh...? I'll hear it, at least.

[scythegun]

After we spar, then~ For now...

[Gestures at your fish!!]

Let's see about setting them all free! I hope they'll enjoy their new home.

[ideismo]

I imagine they'll like it better than where they are now.

[...]

Or they'll just be confused, but I suppose that's still improvement.

[scythegun]

Considering how small their current home is? It's certainly an improvement!

[C'mon, have you scooped them all yet?? He's definitely not been helping. Would you expect otherwise??]

[ideismo]

[Well, fortunately this isn't his first pass over with getting the fish, he's almost done with it; it shouldn't take much longer.]

Since you're so excited about this, you're going to help me carry them.

[scythegun]

I figured I wouldn't be able to get out of that one...

[Yeah, yeah, he can carry some of your pitchers!!]

Very well, I don't mind that. Whenever you're ready, then!

[ideismo]

At least you're aware of it.

[All...right, that looks like the last one? He'll check to make sure nobody's being shy and hiding under the edges before we leave, but for now that looks like everybody.

Come on, let's go.]

[scythegun]

[Off we go! To the lake!!]

Is there any particular reason for this [inclines his head to indicate the pitchers] or are you just going stir-crazy too?

[Is it literally just "free them" because he can't even argue that one.]

[ideismo]

The day feels strange. Something's going to happen soon, and I've never liked being made to remain still and wait.

[...Yeah.]

[scythegun]

Ja, it really is a frustrating feeling... But I'm sure the fish appreciate it!

[ideismo]

As much as they appreciate anything. I've never been sure how sentient they are.

[What do paper fish even think about?]

[scythegun]

You never know with this world! Though now I'm curious about what they'll do when we release them...

[ideismo]

I've released a few just to make sure they didn't immediately die. They don't seem to hate it, at any rate.

[scythegun]

Oh, I suppose it was smart to do that first. It's good that they'll accept their new peach-filled waters, at least!

[ideismo]

As long as they don't mind it, that's honestly good enough.

[Anyway, down to the lake we go, and...into the lake they go. As he'd said, they don't seem to hate it? They just seem to swim around in small awkward circles before going wherever fish go.]

[scythegun]

[FREE THEM!!!

Anyway, look at them go!! They seem a little confused but then off they go...]

I hope they enjoy their new home! It certainly is much larger for all of them!

[goodbye paper fish, we knew you well....]

[ideismo]

I let the ones from my room go first. Just to make sure.

[And that way he'd only kill like, five instead of all of them.

As it is, they're either going to go off and live their best little paper fish lives, or they're going to like. dissolve as soon as they're out of our line of sight or something, but either way it isn't as though anyone's going to be around to take care of them after everything.]

[scythegun]

[Look we don't talk about the fact that we may have just killed them all!!!]

Well! That was rather fun, but they should be just fine now that they're free. Shall we take some time to spar?

[ideismo]

Very well. The archery range should have enough open space, assuming that it's not currently in use.

[He does intend to stick to the general agreement of not breaking your ribs, incidentally. Might bruise you up pretty well, but he seems to be figuring out restraint, at least.]

[scythegun]

It shouldn't be. Let's get going, then~

[C'mon, please try not to bruise him so badly he can't fight well tomorrow!! But he's definitely here for sparring and he's certainly going to enjoy himself!!]
