Endgame: Discussion

[lifeaftr_mods]

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!

...Bluntly put, I would quite like not to have that taken from me, either. If I must leave this place, I would also quite like to not be dead, and I would likewise want to bring my lorbies with me. But I understand that I can't exactly be particular about having miracles performed on my behalf.

[story_teller]

If you had the choice...where would you go?

[It's not known if they're asking this for their own sake or for his. It's probable that not even they know.]

[ideismo]

[He actually has to think about it.]

Part of me would like to go somewhere that no one knows me. Somewhere I can start over and just exist as myself, without having to concern myself with the ultimate fate of the world.

But ultimately, I think I would want to return to Terca Lumireis. It's the worst possible choice I could make, I think, and I doubt it's possible given what happened, but I want to continue trying to save it. Properly, this time.

[story_teller]

[Perhaps that's something they have in common.]

I cannot guarantee any particular ending to your story, or to anyone else's. But if that outcome...if there is an outcome you desire, I suggest that you do what you can to secure it. As I said, I can promise nothing.

But if enough of you desire a particular ending, I will...I wish to do what I can to see it through.

[ideismo]

...Perhaps.

[...]

I spent the last ten years of my life prepared to die. Believing I deserve it, after...something that happened. I still don't know that I don't deserve that.

It's not the most uplifting thing to hear, I'm sure. I'm not saying that I'm giving up. But whatever happens, I'll be all right.

[story_teller]

I believe in many things. I believe that I deserve the inevitability that awaits this world, should it all come to pass.

But I have subverted fate before. If doing so again will spare you a cruel end, what's one more time?

[ideismo]

This proposal involves defying the Historian, does it not?

[story_teller]

Oh, it does.

[They sound abruptly tired.]

But I've spent much of my life defying them. Perhaps I ought not to break a pattern.
