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.]

Not goin- [Home.

She's not going home. She came to terms with that last week. She did what she could, the greatest sacrifice she could possibly give.

But she wasn't going home.

There's tears on her face when she blinks up at the redhead, nothing compared to the way she had been sobbing so much over the past few days but there none the less.]

[everylittlesecret]

So... you don't have a place to go back to either? But yours... it's by choice. I'm sure someone here will take you home with them if you ask.

[She gives the other woman a weak smile, wiping her tears away.] Everyone here loves you so much.

[goteachother]

Teenie's gotta think I'm... dead by now. And that means she can go off with Newt and they'll get married and have lots of kids and-

Morgana it's so selfish but... it didn't work. The war's comin and I don't wanna see it, Nari.

[She sniffles hard, squeezes her eyes to try to stop herself from crying more.]

I don' wanna go back ta that, especially if it means leaving you all.

[everylittlesecret]

... My parents are used to not hearing from me for weeks, and my friends back home don't know how to contact them to ask if I'm alive... I've got all of three of them, though one of them can be quite absentminded since he's a lawyer....

[She kisses Queenie's forehead.]

The war is awful... I wouldn't want to go back to it either....

[goteachother]

I can't believe there's really no one back home that'd miss you, sweetie.

[She starts to shake her head but then Nari's kissing her forehead and she just melts into the other woman.]

Tina'd be so mad if she knew... and what if- [Her hand goes back to her belly.] I'll never see my nieces and nephews... and neither will she.

[everylittlesecret]

My cat would miss me.

[Kisses are soothing, so it's understandable.]

Hey... we can find a way to go back and visit, maybe?

[goteachother]

Maybe we can... even if just once, so she knows I'm okay. That I'll be okay.

She'll never forgive me but thinkin of going back ta New York... feels so small.

[everylittlesecret]

Small?.... I get what you mean.

[Weeks in space makes everything seem tiny.]
