Endgame: Discussion

ENDGAME: DISCUSSION
Who: The gods...and you
What: The gods have a discussion with themselves, each other, and all you adventurers
When: May 3rd to May 17th
Where: Primarily Ensō
Warnings: Please mark anything as it comes up!

Keep Me In Your Clouded Mind

So, by now you're probably aware that things have shifted massively in the past few days. The Historian has arrived on LifeAftr's shores to spill a few mountains' worth of beans, and now all of you are stuck having to deal with it. But that doesn't mean that you're going to need to make this discussion alone.

The fate of LifeAftr - and the fate of all of you - is now in your hands. And while all of you decide what you will about how you plan to deal with that, the gods are busy having a long overdue familial argument.
Consider this log a catch-all for you to discuss the fate of LifeAftr among yourselves, react to the various revelations, ask the gods questions, or just sit and eat some popcorn while they argue amongst themselves.

Remember - you have until May 10th to come up with any solutions that other player characters can vote on.

So think long and hard about where you want things to end up.
But Now the Stars Have spoken

Of course, you are always free to create your own individual logs and posts as needed. You may also use this log for characters to discuss and react to things with each other and argue amongst themselves; consider it a catch-all for IC endgame discussion.

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them over on the Questions header on our Endgame Rundown post! If you come up with a solution that enough player characters agree can be voted upon and that is feasible for endgame, be sure to drop it on the Voting header on our Endgame Rundown post once voting opens!

A little. I don't remember everything. I mostly remember...thoughts. Feelings.

[They sigh.]

I won't ask for a forgiveness that I know I do not deserve.
vagabone: (having second thoughts)

I probably... no, I'm sure I wasn't always the best person myself. Never have been. [He's just much more limited as far as major fuckups go, being an ordinary human being for the most part.]

The thing is... I think I'm one of the only ones who has a decent life to go back to. If you or the big guy send us away. Is that the only option?
story_teller: (The last steps you'll take alone.)

[personal profile] story_teller 2020-05-05 07:26 am (UTC)(link)
I don't know anymore.

[The Storyteller's tone is almost wistful.]

I know now why I didn't want to send you back before. You're...what keeps this world turning. It is due to your creativity, your energy, that...anything is able to continue in this place.

But perhaps...no. It is selfish of me. It was. And I don't know that I ever had the insight to see that.

I'm sorry.
vagabone: (no time for this)

[He fiddles with the brim of his hat, slow to answer. This is way above his paygrade, has been the entire time. Every single day, he's a step behind everyone else. What to do...]

It was good for some people. They're better off here, believe it or not. If we give you enough stories... would you be able to send Ren home with Kravitz? Keep Ginko and Epsilon together, wherever they end up? [His friends. His otherworldly family. Or both, perhaps. He'll be fine, going back to the moment he left from. They're the ones who won't.]

I have no idea.

[Sending everyone back home? That would be the easy part, technically speaking. The Historian can manage that much without their intervention. But sending people where they don't belong?]

I can't say I've ever attempted a thing like that before. I don't think the question of power will be a barrier in that - once this world begins to crumble, it will liberate a great deal of energy.

It's more the question of how I'm meant to manage a thing like that.
