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! ]]

[He doesn't hate being asked to check, he just hates this whole fucking thing.]

My concerns are largely with where this is going to go for the group as a whole. I know better than to assume that everyone will live and things will be fine.

[scythegun]

[Alexei is always required to hate it here.]

Ja, I don't expect that at all. We need to keep morale up, but be prepared for the worst. We'll be lucky if even half our number make it.

[ideismo]

At least I'll be with all of you this time.

[It's something he just...says, without concerning himself as to whether it's something he wants to say or not, because fucking hell it's what he means and he doesn't get enough opportunities to actually say what he means.]

I'm tired of being held back while people die. At least this time I can be with all of you.

[scythegun]

[It gets a sharp exhale from him and it takes a moment for him to release the breath he's holding.

It isn't exactly a surprise, in some ways. It explains so goddamn much, however.

The momentary surprise doesn't last long, and Yeager relaxes easily enough, lifting his shoulders a bit with a wry smirk.]

Come now, you're talking like it's already decided that we're all going to die. Try to have a little faith in some of us, ja?

[ideismo]

Don't try to stay through the worst-case scenario. If there's an opportunity to leave whatever happens alive, then I expect you to take it.

[scythegun]

[He's not sure how to respond to that, and he doesn't like that it's even been brought up in the first place. It would have been so much easier to just pretend everything would be fine and work itself out, but it's not like Alexei has ever done things the easy way.]

...I understand. I can't promise that because we don't know exactly what will happen, but I will keep it in mind.

[That's the most he can offer, though he'd be lying if he said he felt good about it.]

[ideismo]

That's all I'm asking. I trust that you'll do as you see fit either way, but I would prefer that as few die as possible. If the worst-case scenario does come to pass, then the others are going to need someone who can watch out for them until a different opportunity arises.

I'm not asking because I don't have faith in you. It's quite the opposite, actually.

[scythegun]

Because I'm someone who can keep them safe.

[He knows. And that's something he can agree to, because he doesn't like the idea of leaving them behind.]

I wouldn't want to leave them defenseless, so should things go in that direction, then... Ja, I'll protect them.

[It's likely the one thing he's considered in the past ten years that Casey would be pleased with.]

[ideismo]

Good.

[That does seem to calm him down a bit, at least.]

This is obviously only if the worst comes to pass. Ideally it won't need to be a consideration; I simply prefer to know that there's someone that can be depended on if needed.

[...]

I admittedly did not ever believe that that person would be you, but this place is horrendously unfortunate like that.

[scythegun]

[oh thank god he can go back to being obnoxious!!]

Oh dear, something truly did go wrong here, didn't it... I've stopped disappointing you.

[LIKE IT'S A TRAGIC ACCIDENT...]

Well, I'm sure I'll find new and creative ways to do that, but I'll at least wait until after we're done with whatever comes next~

[ideismo]

Please do. I'm discovering how much I hate it when you actually listen to me.

[scythegun]

Don't worry, the feeling's mutual~
