the final week

[airlockedmods]

[Eight weeks. Eight weeks of friendship and love, death and loss, hope and despair all muddled together in a cocktail that's too sweet on the tongue and leaves an acid-y pit in the stomach. With nine of them left (ten counting their dear but lone surviving host), things look darker than ever. Come Sunday morning the last of the Champions missing memories will be returned to them while they sleep. For some of them this will reveal answers, for others it might just be a fate worse than death. They could even be death.

But how does the song go? "It's always darkest before the dawn"?

There are no announcements from PAL this week. Not even morning and evening announcements.

Sunday Monday Tuesday



[ooc: Welcome to endgame, everyone! We're all very proud of you for making it all the way to the end. As you can see this is going to be a short IC week but we promise things will not be going down until this weekend (7/7-7/9). On Tuesday we'll be unveiling the OOC post for what to expect during the final investigation. There is no official AC this week, just a check-in and as mentioned above characters will be at their true canon points on Sunday morning.

Buckle up, kids, the ride's not over yet.]

You might, if you're fortunate.

But you aren't, because I plan on telling Church almost immediately.

[ARDYN...]

Welcome to the family. You're leagues better than my last one.

[serrata]

... Well, I suppose that makes it official, doesn't it? Because if you tell Church then everyone else here is going to know by the end of the day. And that's being generous.

[ But she doesn't sound put out about it at all. In fact, she's still smiling because she can hardly believe it. At the end of two months of hell, she's alive. She's surrounded by people who love her.
Family.

She gives a shaky little laugh and that's all the warning Ardyn gets before she steps forward and throws her arms around him. C'mere, King Dad, you're getting a god damn hug. ]

[yuuri is 5'6" and ardyn is 6'2"]

[yeah you're getting hugged clear off the floor, honey]

[serrata]

[ Ardyn please she has only just managed to stop giggling

The instant she realizes her feet are no longer on the floor, Yuuri bursts out laughing again. ]

I'm-- D--do I not weigh a thing to you?

[scourgingstars]

[it's like holding a couple of grapes]

Not really. I've held swords heavier than you.

[serrata]

I feel like that says more about the sort of swords you carry than it does about me!

[ But she doesn't sound at all mad. And she'd certainly not letting go just yet. This is the first time they've hugged ever, you can bet she's making this one count. ]

[scourgingstars]

Does it? Of course, how ridiculous of me.

[he's trying real hard to get this whole 'physical affection' thing]

[serrata]

[ You're doing your best, that's all she'll ask.

Yuuri giggles weakly, feet still hanging in the air above the ground and gives his shoulder a pat. ]

H--here... put me down for a second! And-- and give me some warning next time!

[scourgingstars]

Fine, fine. [He gently set Yuuri back down, laughing quietly.]
