week 6

[airlockedmods]

[Even with three deaths two weeks in a row, life in the Fantasy Sweet returns to some semblance of normalcy come Sunday morning. The messes are cleaned up, the bodies are safe in the morgue (or in Kip's case, still in a liquor bottle in the garden) and with this new week comes a fresh crop of returning memories.

There is no new floor this week.

Sunday Monday Tuesday Wednesday Thursday

...In part.

We've been... Our number has been getting smaller over time. [He hadn't told anyone the exact number. Because how could he know for sure, with the state of his memories like this?] Slowly, but...

He did help to... finalize things.

[There would be more left if not for Banno. That much is simple. The last few were all him.]

[motherfucking_ghost]

Jesus, Heart. I didn't know things got--that they got that bad.

But if he had a hand in it--listen, if he's...these guys were your friends. Family, even. You would never have let this happen without a fight, tooth and nail.

[myocordial]

Neither did I.

[He had... some idea. He knew of some of the terrible things that happened, but not... not that there were so few left. Enough that the remaining few of them could be wiped out in a day.]

Of course I wouldn't have. But it... still wasn't enough. Nothing I did was... [And this is why Heart seems so empty. Because he is. He's lost everyone who mattered to him.] All this time I told myself I'd keep fighting so I could go back to them quickly.

I suppose I shouldn't have bothered.

[What happens when you lose what you've been fighting for your entire life?]

[motherfucking_ghost]

[Well, usually it's either find something else worth fighting for or say fuck it. Church is pretty at a loss, but...he can't just stand there like a moron. He sets a hand on Heart's arm.]

You can come with me when this is done. To my world. There won't be any more of your people there, but...a fresh start could be good.

It's an option. If you want. If you don't mind leaving your rival crush behind.

[myocordial]

[For a moment, surprise overwhelms the emptiness and grief. It's not what he expected to hear.]

...That's quite a thing to offer so easily.

[He hadn't even considered that he might go somewhere other than back home. As much... as it could be called that. Now that the offer has been made, he... honestly doesn't know.]

[motherfucking_ghost]

Yeah, well, Junpei and I were talking, and...look, someone's gotta have the least crappy world where also someone's not dead. Yours would be an okay world, except...for you.

Anyway, despite an intergalactic war, I figure my place is as good or better a place as any. No zombies. No daemon plagues. No murdergames that I'm aware of. Only a little tiny bit of time travel if you're unlucky.

[myocordial]

Well. I certainly hope it's an okay world other than the obvious problem now, or else even my last fight will have been in vain.

[The memory cut off before he could find out, because of course it did. But it's... rather low on his list of priorities, overall.]

But that... [...] It's... a sound idea. I don't know. I've never imagined being anywhere else. But it's not as if I have any true reason to go back.

[motherfucking_ghost]

I have no idea if we'll be given a choice, but we're just gonna work off the assumption that there is. Can't be sent back if you're dead, for the dead ones. And it's just me myself and I where I'm at right now, at least as far as my last memory's concerned.

[myocordial]

Well, of course. Anything any of us discuss is pointless if we won't have the option.

[But let's not think about that, because at that point you might as well just give up hope entirely.]

...Just you? Why?

[motherfucking_ghost]

[Yeah, no, we're not touching that thought right now. Though it sure would be boring if everyone just gave up and was sad in their rooms all day.]

I dunno, got reassigned, alone on a base. Everyone else got some orders too. Maybe they thought we needed splitting up before we do anything else stupid.
