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.]

I already said you can call it what you like. It just caught me off guard, that's all.

[look how cool he is he's so cool and not a little bit thrown off at all]

[motherfucking_ghost]

Ardyn.

What do you want to call it? We don't have to call it anything.

[scourgingstars]

...I hadn't thought about it.

[motherfucking_ghost]

Then I'll go back to roomie. It's okay, man, it just came out.

[scourgingstars]

If specific terminology makes some difference to you, we can figure out the details of it later.

[Later here holding the same connotation as after--'once we're out of here'. They'd have time for that, and a number of other things as well.]

[motherfucking_ghost]

[Well, that's...surprisingly wishy-washy of him? But if it's no big deal, then...]

It doesn't really make a difference to me, so--just, are you gonna feel weird if I say boyfriend around other people? If it comes out.

[scourgingstars]

[the guy hasn't dated in two thousand years and he's trying to at like he knows what he's doing.]

I won't stop you.

[motherfucking_ghost]

...Okay. So long as you're sure you're okay with it. Because I'm not trying to embarrass you? Like you'll know if I'm embarrassing you.

[scourgingstars]

You say that as though I'd be completely innocent in that myself. Maybe I'd like to see you ridiculously embarrassed on occasion.

[motherfucking_ghost]

Good luck with that, I embarrass myself enough for the both of us.

[scourgingstars]

One of these days you'll learn not to challenge me.

[hey, church, guess who's getting kissed.]

...I love you, idiot.

[motherfucking_ghost]

[yes? yes. please kisses.]

I look forward to you trying to embarrass the shit out of me. And it's not gonna be by saying you love me, cuz it's the truth.

And I love my boyfriend right the hell back.

[scourgingstars]

You have terrible taste. How lucky for me.

[motherfucking_ghost]

I'd argue, but I kind of was already falling for your dumb ass while you were still...y'know. But I can't let that go without pointing out your taste is also awful as hell.

[scourgingstars]

I'm well aware on both counts. You're a terrible fool and so am I--we're quite the pair, fallen king and his most appropriate reckless Shield.

[motherfucking_ghost]

Nobody's ever gonna write sprawling, world-renowned romance novels for the ages about the pair of us, that's for fucking sure.

[scourgingstars]

Not with that attitude.

[motherfucking_ghost]

Oh my god. [Get shoved you nerd.] Maybe we can make a really fucked up romance that sweeps the galaxy and makes ladies swoon inappropriately. And then when they make the movie adaptation, they'll have to find only the most handsome of gentlemen to play us.

[scourgingstars]

That would be hilarious. Perhaps we'll be worth a highly dramatized spinoff.

[motherfucking_ghost]

We'd better get invited to the red carpet world premier. I'll settle for nothing less.

[scourgingstars]

It's been so terribly long since I made a dramatic public appearance. I do quite miss it, if I'm to be honest.
