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!)

I never did manage to coax you into that walk on the beach. Or any other date. [Heaving a sigh, he places a wing over his heart.] And here we must part ways, leaving my dreams ever unfulfilled.

1/??

[lightsmith]

A-...

[lightsmith]

[Wait.]

[Hold on.]

[hhhhhold on.]

[lightsmith]

[And that was when the penny finally dropped.]

[lightsmith]

You--you were tryn'a--

[And that was her cue to burst out laughing.]

done

[lightsmith]

Th-that's a real good one, you almost got me for a second!

[zeke's gonna need a verraise, heal lb3, and ten phoenix downs all at once.]

Re: done

[thezekeinator]

[Whatever the ultimate attack, it can't kill him if he doesn't take any harm! After all, he'd never expected her to go on a date with him in the first place!]

Now that's not true! If I'd gotten you I would've lived the dream.

[lightsmith]

[And there she goes, in a fit of laughter so hard it looked like she was going to fall over.]

Quit it, quit it--! Ain't right to joke like that, y'know!

[...she genuinely thinks you're bullshitting, zeke]

[thezekeinator]

Hmm. Scintilla, I'm going to admit a failure here -- I can't tell whether you actually believe I'm joking, or if you're just trying that hard to pretend I am! [Smirking, Zeke flips one wing in the air.] I can jolly take a no, you know!

[lightsmith]

Wh-what? [She settled down somewhat, tilting her head at him.] C'mon, course you're joking.

[thezekeinator]

Now why would I joke about something like that? It'd be a cruel trick to play on a girl! [Faking interest? Irresponsible!]

[lightsmith]

...

. . .

Byregot's dick, you're serious.

[thezekeinator]

Why did you invoke THAT of all things?!

[lightsmith]

I'm a blacksmith, okay, shut up!

[aaaaaaaaaaa]

Anyway're you concussed or something?!

[thezekeinator]

That would've been a jolly long concussion. Weeks now! Why even ask?

[lightsmith]

'Cause that's nuts is why I'm askin'.

[thezekeinator]

Because you're out of my league, and I'm also a bird?

[lightsmith]

D'you have feathers for brains? I'm a blacksmith that's too busy runnin' around savin' the world to have a normal life, you're better off doin' literally anythin' else.

[thezekeinator]

[Zeke leans on one leg, one hand spread like her position is nuts.]

None of that was happening here, now was it?

[lightsmith]

So? Geez, you've gotta have the worst taste I've ever seen.

[thezekeinator]

So I'm going back home to build a new world on a land shared by the former residents of every Titan, and Architect knows I'll probably get roped into the old princely duties again. But if you lose sight of enjoying life, what are you living for?

[lightsmith]

...

[She snapped her mouth shut before saying anything else, looking kind of like he'd yanked the ground out from under her.]

[thezekeinator]

You're smart, and you're pretty, and you've got a strong personality. No one'd be crazy to think that's worth getting to know! And if you don't want to, that's fine. But saying you're too busy saving the world is rubbish! If anything, a partner worth your time would be more than able to help out with that!

[lightsmith]

...Maybe.

[She frowned, shifting uncomfortably from one foot to the other.]

Sorry...for laughin', y'know? Really did think you were jokin'.

[thezekeinator]

[Zeke flings back his head with a grin.] I'm a shoebill and the Bringer of Chaos! Laughing is totally understandable.
