WEEK SEVEN: ENDGAME 2

[hellscapes]

Rise and shine, little deadlings. It's the dawn of the final day. The oppressive heat of Hell seems to rise and fall around you, and no matter where you slept last night you'll find that all of the islands across this realm are buzzing with excitement. You all know what comes next. Take some time, gather yourselves, and maybe even have some breakfast. Pick out your best party outfits and brush up on your etiquette. At about eleven in the morning, all participants single-dead and double-dead will find themselves on the receiving end of a new DM.

party starts in an hour!! if you're not in line now, you're gonna miss the start!!

Better start making your way to those wrought-iron gates at the edge of the city. You can see it now, the giant mansion situated at the top of the volcano, but it's still a distance away. The line seems to crawl, slowly, and as you draw closer you'll see several demons and humans being let through and just as many being turned away. But you? Lucky you...as you approach, a flickering shadow three times your size looks you over before letting you through the gate. There's a bridge strung over a pool of lava, wobbling with your every step as your skin practically boils you alive.

But then...as you approach the front doors? The Mansion Welcomes You.

Come on in! You were invited, after all. The party's just getting started but there isn't a shortage of humans and demons already milling around the property as music blasts from all directions. Immediately as you enter, you'll see a large sign hanging in the foyer advertising today's drink-off. There's also a list of names under it:

Akira Fudo
Arataki Itto
Gideon Nav
Hana Song
Harrowhark Nonagesimus
Hunter (Blonde)
Kaname Date
Kuranosuke Koibuchi
Lin Jingheng
Lu Bixing
Persephone
Rynlan Dawnslight
Ryo Asuka
Thancred Waters
Zelgadis

The drink-off itself isn't for another couple of hours though. So why not relax and enjoy the party? Mingle around, explore the house, make your way to the bar to grab a drink...and prepare to play for your life.

Hi and happy endgame everybody! We're so excited to see you here! Today's endgame activities are going to be a little fast and loose, so please be sure to check out the various top levels for what's available to you!

Whatever happens will become public knowledge. And what Harrowhark and I proposed to Malibu and Blue is that by making it sound like we're being punished by the results, Satan will look good and gain a better public opinion. You know, make it easier for her to pass policies.

If the demons like what happens here tomorrow enough, then the next group who comes after us might get the same opportunities.

[ontrend]

Ultimately, I think we can make any proposal work if we're careful about how we present it, but I feel like this would really make the viewers or whatever buy it?

[firstandgreatest]

S'cool. I'm already a yokai. If I don't die of an allergy attack again or fall down the stairs or whatever I'm already gonna never die, basically.

[polyglotti]

Oh, thank you for that! It should make things a lot easier without having to patchwork translations around based on who knows what language.

[She has experience with that. It's hard.]

[anothen]

[ FRIENDSHIP! IN HELL! EVEN IF SOME OF YOU DESERVE TO ROT HERE! ]

I'm glad you're understanding and open to perspectives, Sir Thancred.

[reignite]

[ oh i commented as you edited. quick timing ]

[ontrend]

We just gotta figure out if it'll be convincing enough for the demons watching...

[greatvalue]

[...

he reaches down to pat his little bone head.]

It's going to be okay, King.

[cavaliered]

[she wraps her arms around harrow and closes her eyes.]

You won. [she hums. and then, in a very over the top way:] All according to plan, muah ha.

[ontrend]

Yeah, it's like... we'd get what we want, but is the emotional toll worth it?

[tearduct]

For what? I didn't even win.

[greatvalue]

Winning. Knowing it's over.

[engineers]

Basically, what I'm thinking is that the universes that we live in are all happening at the same time - even if time has passed completely differently in our worlds, and "time" is really more of a loose definition of the word than it is the actual word itself. Swain called it a patchwork quilt, but I like to think of it more like a tapestry, a sort of Level IV Quantum Multiverse of string that's been wound into different patterns. I don't like the idea of a quilt, because I think all the threads of these universes are connected much more intimately than patches of different fabric, and that's how we end up drawn here, but that's besides the point. A tapestry works a little better with string theory, Anyway.

[ this was a mistake for hunter but also for me as i'm trying to explain at 10 pm. no one criticize me on my scifi. bixing's excited about it and it's correct. sweats. ] - Anyway. Each of these universes are stacked sort of on top of each other, because they're all occurring in the same limited, relative moment, and made of roughly the same string. So, by climbing up the particle string through technology that utilizes particle physics like our transfer portals, instead of transferring across space [ he makes a little gesture with his hands across ], you could transfer across universal "time" [ and makes a vertical gesture with both hands ] instead.

More or less.

[voidshift]

I don't think very many of us wouldn't, after everything.

[ontrend]

So the winners have to make it look like we're really making the losers suffer...

[onlythans]

This is a discussion, Harrowhark. Don't take me for a villain simply for asking to hear rationale in support of such certainties.

[firstandgreatest]

Look, Mephisto is a winner and all same as us and he's chill and everything, but. Uuuuuuuuuuuuuh.

[preordain]

... well, we'll see. People seem to be mostly on the same page.

[ mostly ]

[teufelshund]

[ what ]

[greatvalue]

... I'm not worried about myself.

[he keeps glancing at wherever king is, every now and then.]

[hardrocklife]

I plan to continue my journey... so I'll be returning to my world.

[There's a glance over at a certain someone else among the group here, though.]

[selfdestructs]

[ he may have paw ]

Yeah, of course. Tokki'd be in good hands and plus it wouldn't be the first time I've had to start over from scratch.

[ ehe? ]

[ontrend]

Uuuuuuuuuh indeed.

[engineers]

Haha, unless it's in a drinking contest.

[ rip in shit ]

Multiuniversal theory has always been one of my favorite side projects for when I'm bored, so, that, that I can definitely handle.

[outsidebones]

I hope that's correct.

[anyway harrow doesn't care about being there herself, she's just. worried.]
