THE FINAL LOG♬
Weather: Clear Skies

The Finale is Near

Days have passed since you first wound up with those strange mechanical bits in the mail. While all of you have found your respective partners, there’s still the question of “What do we do now?” in regards to the combined pieces. There are a few potential courses of action with the knowledge you have of how magic works here on the island, but the answer may or may not be what you’d expect.

Regardless, things seem to be coming close to wrapping up. For those of you who want it...maybe it’s finally time to return home. For those of you who want to stay, hopefully there's a way to do so. The only way to find the answers to these two things, however, is to start figuring things out.

Have at it.

(OOC: Welcome to your final log! We will be putting up part 2 at around 6pm EST, depending on how things go, and the final part at around 9pm. Please ping us on Discord if you need anything! Thank you!)

[sugooooooooi]

[Serval was put in charge of her and Minato's V-shaped machine part, and so it is that she puts it right on the beach beside the airport and posts a network message.]

We mayb hav to bild somthing with al the peses. Pls com

[So until anyone else arrives, she's just going to bring out her giant panda plush, snuggle in its lap with the smaller one in her arms, and start reading picture books on her NookPhone.]

[conceptualize]

Where are you?

[ Laurent would usually look all over the island, but time is more important this time around. ]

[turnaboutson]

[Miles arrives shortly after seeing the message, carrying the small half-screen that his and Zeke's parts had made.]

I have to admit, I'm a little bit nervous, [he says to Serval, a little bit conspiratorially. Though he's not sure he's nervous about if it won't work...or if it will.]

[jokersonyou]

[That's been his guess too, honestly. Ren picks up his own part that he and Sylvando found, a V-shaped one as well, and heads out to find Serval.

Thankfully, it doesn't take long. And seeing her... Aw, she's adorable.]

Hey, Serval. I was thinking the same thing.

[He glances at her piece.]

Huh, looks like you got the same one as us.

[southclaw]

[Kevin has his Karl plush under one arm and the... propeller?? That he and Lio made somehow under the other.]

Look! We made a piece!

[spiritoso]

[ She'd been wondering what they should do with the pieces, and putting them all together sounds like the right idea. Kaede finds Serval on the beach, and waves at her as she walks up. ]

Hey! Here's the part Adelaide and I got.

[ She pulls it out of her pocket. It's also V-shaped. ]

[regression]

[ Having seen Serval and the group around, Joonghyuk is here with his part which is one of the many Vs, arms at 1 foot in length. ]

How many parts are there?

[ Do they have a list to know what they're working with? ]

[turntoashes]

[At Serval's suggestion, Lio makes for resident services and knocks.]

Tom?

[vellamods]

[ Tom sees everyone gathering around with some...interesting-looking things. He still seems a little stressed about something, but he emerges from his tent and greets Lio with a smile. ]

Hello, Lio! How can I help you?

THE BROS

[vellamods]

[ As you're all examining the parts, who comes out of the airport, but...

Orville? ]

Whoa! You guys have some wild parts there, huh? Did you bring those for us? Our plane isn't too shabby, but... well, as far as I know, we've got the only plane anywhere around!

Mind if I take a look at those?

[sugooooooooi]

Yeah! We got them in the mail, and I guess it's supposed to help us go home. I don't get it, but we're trying to build whatever it's for. So they're actually for your plane?

[vellamods]

[ You all have a new recipe, it seems, and with that... Orville smiles at you all. ]

Alright! I think we've got our answer of how to get you folks home! It's been a long journey, huh? I need a few pairs of hands to fix these pieces onto the plane once we get 'em all put together...

But the rest of you... I think that'll be takeoff time real soon. So if you want to go on home, start packin' up and sayin' all your goodbyes! Kind of bittersweet, isn't it? Our final goodbyes... I'd like to see all you fine folks again after today, but...

Well, wishes have been doing all sorts of weird things, so that might prove me pretty wrong! I hope so!

[jokersonyou]

[This is...it? So suddenly?]

That... How... How does this even work, exactly? Is this plane supposed to pierce through the veils of dimensions or something? And does that mean that passengers can get off at different stops?

[transfusionem]

[It was kind of inevitable that this day would come. They all couldn't stay here forever, and they would find some way to go home eventually. Just... It still seems kind of sudden, even though it's been two months since crashing into the ocean and ending up here.

Adelaide's still not sure if she wants to stay or leave, torn between staying in this new place to make sure that everyone else who decided to stay is okay, and going home to her regular life and everyone she knows. She packs up her things anyways, though she leaves quite a few things behind, sure she'll reach a decision eventually and not wanting to hold everyone up if she decides to leave, but... She's torn. Still. She knew it was going to be a hard choice, but she wasn't expecting things to be this hard.

Ugh.

She sits on the dock by the airport, legs dangling over the edge. Her ears and tail are drooping, and she stays quiet as she waits for everyone else to show up.]

[sugooooooooi]

Adelaide-san!

[She waves, carrying her things in the big grey sack that was among her regains.]

Are you okay? We're all gonna miss you.

[thezekeinator]

[Well. This is it. He has a lot of friends he'll miss here, and a lot of fun times he'll remember, but his place is back home and he can't pretend otherwise. He's got friends to see, a Blade to pick on, and a world to help.]

[So with a sack full of things he's saved, Zeke returns back to the scene after bidding farewell to the house and the cabin both. Heck, he's actually getting a little choked up over this.]

[sugooooooooi]

[Serval snugs him and pauses.]

I dunno, should I just leave all my stuff in the house so the next person who moves in can have it? Except the stuff from home.

[southclaw]

[Well, he said he'd help and he did, but Kevin is still adamant that he's staying here. Sonrisa has been more of a home to him than Ferolia ever was.

He just wishes that more people decided to stick around.

He's here at the airport anyway, because he knows he should at least be here to see everyone else off.]

[sugooooooooi]

[Serval waves at Kevin and sniffles.]

I'm gonna miss you! Once we find a way to come back, I'll visit lots, okay?

[toushiro]

[ well, thank god that's all over. ... at least, that's what he wants to say. but when he goes into house ten to pack his belongings, he seems slightly more solemn than usual. hopefully sylvando doesn't notice...

but even outside of house ten, hitsugaya is in his regular attire. his shinigami robes are in tact, as are his sandals and his tenth division haori and all. his old furniture is lined up outside of the house. he walks, and moves to sit underneath a tree near the airport. his wolf ears can't lie, though -- they're slightly droopy.

just slightly. ]

What a ridiculous experience.

[ he huffs that under his breath, but he doesn't sound all that pressed about it, either. ]

[sugooooooooi]

It was fun! I'm gonna miss everybody. But now you get to see all your other friends, right?

[spiritoso]

[ After two months, Kaede had started to wonder when they would all be able to go home. Although she hoped it would be soon for everyone's sake, this still feels sudden.

It takes her some time to get some of the things she really wants to keep, putting the things that can fit in her backpack. She puts a few bigger things in her pockets, like the piano Minato gave her.

Eventually, Kaede is back near the airport. It feels a little strange, knowing she's going somewhere now. For most of her time here, she had planned to stay and wave everyone off as they left. But now... she's going back to Ren's world, and she'll be one of the ones waving goodbye to those that stay. It feels strange to be leaving after being set on staying for so long, but it's nice too. For once she has some hope for the future.

Still, Kaede can't help but feel sad to say goodbye to everyone here. She's a little misty-eyed as she smiles at everyone. ]

[sugooooooooi]

Bye, Kaede-chan! [Serval hugs her tightly.] I hope Ren-san's world is nice.

[lightsmith]

[Once everything was settled and their route...presumably secured, Scintilla vanished in a puff of smoke and took off back to the house--hurriedly throwing her own things together as well as a couple other things she'd gotten on the island. (Mostly the poncho shirt, because that shit sells like hotcakes on the market board. And Ishgard is cold.) When she came back to linger around the airport, it was with a small smile and a wind-up Aymeric in her arms like a particularly treasured stuffed animal.]

[...She'd probably miss it here, just a little. She would definitely miss the people, and was a little grateful this world hadn't been under any world-altering calamity to be saved from.]

[But ultimately, she needed to get home sooner rather than later, and such parting simply was what it was.]

[toushiro]

[ well...he knows they'll see each other on the plane, but he wants to say something anyway. ]

I hope your situation at home improves.

[rupturingheaven]

[Byleth being quiet isn't exactly uncommon, but there's a sort of sadness to it as she packs up her things in House 11.

... Well, the clothes, at least. She's leaving most of the furniture she received here for Alexis. She's hanging onto the fortune-telling set though.

She'd love to stay, but she can't. She has to get back to her students.

Eventually, she makes her way to the airport, taking a seat nearby as she takes one last look out at the ocean. She can't stay... but she's going to miss this place.]

[sugooooooooi]

[Serval is trying to sort her luggage, and -- oh, hey, that looks like your tea, Byleth. She hands over the tin of Leicester Cortania.]

Do you want this? I don't really know how to make tea without asking Suri Alpaca-san.

[freckledarcher]

[They were going home. Ashe would be able to go home, see his friends again, then pick up where he left off. However, he would miss this island. He hoped he would be able to take his friends here so they could relax. Ashe walked over to the pier and looked out at the ocean. He would miss being able to see the ocean whenever he wanted. He hoped everyone could be able to get back to their homes safely.]

[rupturingheaven]

[Byleth joins him after a while.]

... I'm going to miss this place.

[vellamods]

[ At some point, after you've figured out the parts, Tom Nook comes out to see how you're all doing. ]

Oh! Goodness, did you all figure things out? Hm... yes, that's excellent indeed!

[ he says, and though he's smiling, he seems a bit sad. After all, he's spent so much time with you all these past weeks, and you've all helped him so much... Of course it's bittersweet for Tom Nook. It was his wish that brought you all here, but it seems it's your sheer ingenuity that will take you all home. ]

I do have something for you all... a parting gift, of sorts. Something to remember your time here by. Why... I'm sure you don't need something to do that, but having something physical makes it a little more real, doesn't it?

[ Your bonds are very real, it's true, but most of you are going your separate ways. So... step on up, and Tom Nook will hand you a badge. It's shaped like an apple, with stars stitched all over the body of the fruit. It has a few words on it, too: Isle Sonrisa resident, and your name is written underneath. It's perhaps not the fanciest item, but there's something beautiful about its simplicity.

Tom Nook smiles, and when he speaks again, his voice is maybe a little thick with emotion. ]

I wish you all well. And, from the bottom of my heart... Thank you.

[southclaw]

[Why is he getting one of these? He doesn't want a parting gift!]

W-wait! Don't wanna leave. Can I stay? Please?

[jokersonyou]

[...This is it, huh? Going home. It's not as if they hadn't been seeking to find the answer to going home these last two months, but now that they've found it, they're leaving. Today. It's so sudden, a shock to his senses, and he isn't sure what to think.

His mind is still swimming as he makes his way back to his house. Eight weeks. He'd practically settled down, even with the knowledge it was going to be temporary. He'd built a cafe, ran it nearly every day, served coffee and curry to his new group of friends. Built friendships, likely and unlikely both. Built up, alongside the others, a deserted island into a community.

And now, it's time to leave.

Ren begins to silently pack some assorted items up, realizing with a bit of bemusement just how much stuff he's managed to acquire in just two months. Though it's tempting to take a good amount of it, he realizes that he doesn't have infinite pocket space in the real world back home, and that everything is going to have to have a place to go. The ridiculous looking swimsuit is definitely coming, and so is the maid outfit, even if he severely doubts any situation back home will come up where he'll be wearing it. The aluminum briefcase, as much as it sends a pang through his chest. Some shorts, a shirt. His Joker mask. And definitely the laptop.

That's all he really needs, but an idea strikes him. Kaede's coming with him. So why not take things for her, since she won't have anything but the clothes on her back and whatever she takes as well? And so he begins to pack some more items. An umbrella, a backpack and a messenger back. A synthesizer, so she'll be able to keep playing. A kimono, because why not? And that's about it for what's in the house.

Until he looks up at the painting of he and his fellow Phantom Thieves hanging on the wall. That gets packed up as well, and finally, the one of himself and Akechi. Ren gives the place a last lookover once he steps out before heading to his next stop.

He reaches Leblanc II soon after. The espresso machine is packed away quickly, though that's about all he needs. Leaving there is harder than leaving the house, for certain, and he wipes at his eyes before dragging himself away.

(But not before getting a piece of paper and writing down his curry recipe, for whatever new resident that may want to take over.)

Once he reaches the airport again, he takes a seat with everyone else. Looking about, seeing them here, knowing this is goodbye, he sears each face into his memory. This isn't just moving away to another town. This is goodbye forever, barring another coincidental supernatural event. Two months ago, he's had to say goodbye to his friends, and now, again. But this is goodbye for real.

And despite his relief at being able to go back to his world, it hurts.]

I'm going to miss you all. I don't think I'll ever be able to forget you all, honestly.

[toushiro]

What are you looking to accomplish in your home world?

[ he sounds a little curious about it. they'd talked a few times but hitsugaya doesn't think they'd ever spoken about home before. he doesn't usually ask this of others but the time they got their powers back in those dreams made him wonder. ]

[turnaboutson]

[Miles had thought for a while he'd be happy to go home. For a while, he'd resented being here. But he'd actually started to like it.

He has his things, and, after a little bit of thought, he's decided to take the paintings with him, too. And that recipe book he'd gotten in the mail. It had been strange, but he thinks he knows what to do with it. (Besides...he can always stand to cook more, anyway.)

He hasn't been frightened of flying since he was a child, but he has butterflies in his stomach all the same. He rather thinks he has a call to make when he gets home.

But...]

If I'm stuck as a cat when I get home, that may be awkward, [he mutters, trying to focus on that rather than anything else.]

[toushiro]

I'd hope not. I'd very much like my own body back as well.

[ so...hopefully they both won't suffer! ]

I still don't understand what changed us this much to begin with, but I've learned not to question too much about this place.

[seacub]

[He is Stubborn.

He's said he's staying. He's said plenty of times he's staying, so while everyone starts packing up to leave, he doesn't do that at all. Instead, for the ones he's met, for the ones he's come to know...

Emporio is Hard at Work at the DIY table early in the day, but by the time people are set to leave-

He hands the ones he knows, who he's come to talk to, Gifts. "...Don't open them until you're back, okay? It's supposed to be a surprise...s...so..."

He'll miss all of them, but realistically it's not like he could follow all of them either. And he'd miss this island too, after all.

Emporio sits down quietly outside the Airport- he wants to wave the plane off once he sees it go. It's a Last Goodbye, either walking to the airport, or simply through a window.

[pinkmacaron]

[Sonico actually tears up, sniffling as she stares at the gift.]

Can I hug you, one last time?

[conceptualize]

[ If you're someone who has made it absolutely clear that you're staying, Laurent will let them know and leave behind bunch of stuff (excluding personal items and presents) and all his many, many bells.

If you're one of the people who are leaving, he'll say a polite goodbye if he doesn't know you that well, and if you're close enough to be friends (your discretion), expect to get a tales gel smacked on the back of your head. Any attempts at smacking it away will be prompted ended with a frozen arm in the midst of movement for two seconds. ]

[sugooooooooi]

Laurent-saaaaaaan!

[HUG. HUG FROM CAT.]

I'm gonna miss you -- huh? What's on my head?

[pinkmacaron]

[Sonico packs up everything she had gotten from her new friends, making sure to take as much as she could. The bigger things have to stay behind sadly, but she's content.

She closes the door to the house she managed to make her own for two months, and tears roll down her face.

She's going home, to see her granny and friends and manager again. But she's leaving so much behind.]

This was a great adventure.
