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!

Shit, good point we've got to plan out what we're asking for. And who's asking for it I guess.

[refate]

[ waddling over with dva attached to him ]

Obviously the most important thing is "everybody who wants to go home gets to go home." That was the priority when we were talking about it, right?

[outsidebones]

Or anywhere they want to go. Hunter and I confirmed it's possible to send people somewhere else - though wherever you decide to go, that may be final.

[engineers]

Not for long. I've already started working on a schematic for intrauniversal travel based on our phones. I'll need to get back to my lab, so it may be a little while, but I can translate wormhole tech over, I think. I've got some theories already laid down.

[anothen]

Neat.

[hardrocklife]

[whoa.]

[voidshift]

-well, I have no objection to relying on you for that.

[refate]

[ ... he looks briefly torn, for a moment, before he makes his decision. ]

If we can't get intrauniversal travel as part of the reward package, I'll come back with you to the Eighth Galaxy right off to help, Teach.

[teufelshund]

I can probably assist with that if you need another perspective.

[ like. the non-scientific spacetime god perspective. ]

[reignite]

[ she doesn't say anything, but her head tilts as if to consider the idea. ]

[greatvalue]

Travel between realms is possible where I come from, but there's a lot more magic involved than whatever you've got. If you need a sounding board, though...

[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.]

[refate]

[ hums an affirmative ]

Okay. If it's possible, we can try to worm in being able to travel between worlds or universes or whatever. But priority is where people want to go.

[outsidebones]

We've already been told Satan can't do that. If we want it, we'll have to find a way to do it ourselves.

[but like bixing, she believes it's at least possible.]

[greatvalue]

[he nods...]

Satan doesn't have the power to allow us to travel freely between realms. So if we want to make that happen, we'll have to figure it out ourselves...

[firstandgreatest]

Was there anythin' else Satan said she couldn't do in particular?

[psynchronise]

That's the obvious one. Those who died while here as well, if they want to. But we need to get the demons in as well, and give them the choice too.

[ he holds up two fingers. ]

Two things. Three, if you count letting those who didn't die leave and those who did die leave as two separate things.

[ ... ]

There's also the fact some of us won with help, so we probably need to figure that out too.

[onlythans]

Why do we need to incorporate the demons, precisely?

[Just wondering.]

[psynchronise]

If they want to go, then why not include them. Even if it's a consolation prize for putting up with our dumb asses for two motnhs.

It's blatant bias on my part, but if they want to go I'm happy to include that on my list of things to ask for.

[outsidebones]

[hm.]

I suppose it is not need so much as want. Do you intend to object?

[greatvalue]

[i'm sorry but this just makes him mad, considering king...]

Are you serious? Because we could have ended up in their positions just as easily. Because they have families and homes to get back to, just as much as we do, but they were never even given the chance to compete in the first place.

[voidshift]

[just sort of leaning on him, there.]

Well, because I'd like to, for one thing.

[refate]

Yeah, that last one kind of makes it interesting.

We won on "behalf of" the not double-dead, so I'm not entirely sure what that qualifies us as. Are we all winners? Or should we make sure it's the "living" winners, unaided, that present the victory request?

Does us deciding we're winners make all of us winners? Or are we overthinking.

[pathopen]

You could say "Everyone who was involved in the pocket dimension of hell". I think that covers everyone who arrived as well as Satan and the demons.

[engineers]

[ actually... ]

...While we're deciding this, if there's anyone who has no desire to stay here or return home, and all works out, I can offer somewhere for you to stay, complete with citizenship. The Eighth Galaxy has a fairly standardized system for taking in refugees. It's safe, stable, independent, and - not to brag or anything, but it's pretty cool. There's a wide variety of opportunities and places to go or live, too. You'd have the chance to start over there, if that was what you wanted.

[ a pause. ] And that doesn't mean you'd have to stay anywhere near me and mine if you didn't want to, either! It's just an open invitation.
