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!

...I don't mean to be a bother, but any chance of making this maybe have a bit of the perk of, uh...maybe us not being back to life shortly before the moment of our deaths? Because personally speaking I kinda would love to be back...maybe a day earlier.

[For reasons he won't expound on, but anyone who watched his execution can deduce, really]

So maybe trying to give that option somewhat to those who would rather be back some time before our death could be nice? I suppose it's not the end of the world if it turns out that's not possible, but it would be great if there was a chance for that.

[preordain]

Oh, that was already a thing. Satan can send you back further in time in order for you to avoid your death.

[failbo]

Great! That's...a big relief to hear about.

[Truthfully a couple demons had said it too, but it was hard to keep it as a bit of hope until the moment arrived, and once it did, well, he's still waiting for the other shoe to drop, because this is hell and things aren't simple, hah.

He'll believe it fully only once it happens, probably]

[preordain]

Think of it this way-- what is the point of sending you back home if you're just going to immediately die again? It wouldn't make any sense.

[firstandgreatest]

This time I'm gonna win that ramen eating contest ...

[preordain]

I hope you lose.

[bileygr]

Oh good. Maybe I can rip off that clown's head first after all.

[ Priorities. ]

[preordain]

Well, you'll have an advantage now, I'm sure.

[ knowing the future! ]

[bileygr]

Mhm. I was taken by surprise the first time, after all.

If nothing else, how much I want to kill that clown is a pretty good motivator alone for going back.

[preordain]

That's always enough, I think.

[ the urge to kill someone really bad ]

[bileygr]

Well. Plans made, at least for the next 48 hours if we make it back.

[preordain]

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

[ mostly ]

[polyglotti]

[Oh. Hm.]

Did they say how far back?

[preordain]

She didn't say when I talked to her, but someone else said it could be as far back as you needed it to be.

[ he does not have the direct confirmation for that one though so ]

[polyglotti]

[Hm. She's going to go quiet for a bit as she considers things.]

[hardrocklife]

[he looks over at her, thoughtfully.]

[polyglotti]

[This certainly complicates her choices by a lot. She looks a little troubled now.]

I could go back to the start of the expedition. Change our course slightly, so that we miss all those bad things entirely. So I don't...

[teufelshund]

Yes, that was supposed to be part of the original deal. It probably wouldn't be too helpful for a lot of us otherwise.
