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!

shatteredlenses: Slow Burn Redemption Arc (Slow Burn Redemption Arc)

It's all right. If there is anytime to sound dismal, it's now.

[This time, it's his turn to laugh sadly, but as he does it, he leans into Ardyn a little more, giving his hand a squeeze.]

Thank you for being with me to the end of it, if the end does come. I don't know if I would have made it this far without you. You were right to be angry with us, not even just because of the roles Bahamut placed us all in. We had no idea what we were getting into and none of us had the experience we needed to even try to understand. Perhaps Noctis learned while he was in the Crystal, but it was too late then for it to make any difference.

I've learned so much because of you and I will never regret it no matter how hard the process was.

[Or what it cost him.]

I'm not--...well, no, I'm still quite furious. But not with you. I might even learn to coexist with Noctis if the situation calls for it. This has been...enlightening, in a sense. Perhaps this interdimensional detour was something I needed after all.

Whatever happens, I've no intention of leaving your side. The power I've given you is proof enough of that, is it not?
shatteredlenses: Smug (Smug)

[personal profile] shatteredlenses 2020-05-27 08:42 am (UTC)(link)
I would be concerned if you weren't furious with someone.

[It would be a sign that Bahamut had finally won and beaten every last bit of who Ardyn was out of him.]


Yes. I cherish it and the trust that comes with it. No matter what, we'll see this through to the end together. You'll save a dance with the Historian for me, right?
scourgingstars: (tragoedia coram)

[personal profile] scourgingstars 2020-05-27 08:46 am (UTC)(link)
It would not be nearly as fun if I neglected to. I look forward to seeing what you can do with my power at your disposal.

...I do believe I've learned to like you. So I'll be highly annoyed if you go off dying before I do. Understand?
shatteredlenses: Protect this Smile (Protect this Smile)

[personal profile] shatteredlenses 2020-06-07 07:14 am (UTC)(link)
I am looking forward to the same.

[Ignis chuckles softly then, shifting to press a quick kiss to Ardyn's cheek.]

I love you too. Don't worry. After coming this far, I have no plans of bowing out before the end. I am going to be right there beside you no matter what.
