thusia | Good-End Visits!

Who: Anyone
When: Day 146, morning
Where: Portals
What: A not-so-long awaited return

[So for those who were curious about that counter that said "6 days" a couple days ago in the portal room next to the level 3 baths, the numbers on it have been jumping around the last couple of days, up and down, as if giving a live update of the haggling that's been going on behind the scenes.

Today the numbers run all the way down to zero suddenly and then is replaced with the following:

"Duration: approx 2-3 days"

With that the portal surface starts to ripple in the way that indicates that it's become permeable, and those who wander by the area may start to get the distinct smell of salty ocean air coming through it. Those on this side who try to push through it will find that although their hand disappears through the shadow layer of the portal, something that feels sort of like saran wrap blocks their hand on the other side, stretching under their weight but not letting them through.

Not so for the other side though, and if people stick around long enough they might get a surprise.]

((ooc: OK. Pre-visit threading if you're so inclined! Otherwise everyone is free to comment to this post (normal residents too, of course)! Good-enders, please indicate you're visiting in your header so people can spot you easily. You will be allowed to visit and post freely for 2-3 IC days, which translates to maybe a little more than a week OOCly.

Questions go here.))

Well, you have all the time you need to decide.

I...

I do, don't I?

We all do.

But... are we immortal now? Is that how it works?

Naw, we can still grow old and die and all that. Or get murdered.

But we don't really have responsibilities here to keep us super busy either.

Well that is both relieving and even more stressful at the same time.

Isn't it. . .

It's almost like saying "well, you had a chance to live a good life but you messed it up terribly, but hey, you have a second chance now except you start from where you left off and very few things will make sense, so good luck with that!"

I want to quit but that would be ungrateful of me, wouldn't it?

....I wanted to quit too. When I first got here I spent most of the time lying on the ground saying I wanted my fluffy afterlife.

What did you do?

Lenalee and Allen and Ace and Syaoran....they all pulled me out of it.

That's a lot of people...

...yeah. A lot of us showed up.

... How did that all go for you?

Not a lot of happiness initially.

But we're better off now.

I want you to get happy too.

Don't be so cheesy, that's my job.

Well you need to step it up then.

I know, I'm still working on getting used to the place.

Izaya said there's a way to get all my memories back, but...

But that's scary?

It's just... I'm not sure if there's a point to it anymore. I'll remember all these things about a life I'll never be able to return to... about people I'll never see again.

... On the other hand, I feel like I've failed Celty on so many levels already, that'd only add more to it.

. . .

Don't rush into things. You have time to decide either way. Do what you think will make you happiest, yeah?

Hah, if I knew what that is, we wouldn't be having this conversation in the first place.

True!

Well, like I said! There's time.

Don't let that Izaya rush ya.

I won't. Has he given you any trouble here?

Course not. Like I'd let him.
