Main Room

Wh-?...

-He sees others hurry up the stairs, then looks back at the Mess of Pixels-

...But what about you?


-Roger raises a brow-

Last moments?

-He throws his head back and laughs-

NGYAHA! Come on, now! You say that like I'd let you die!

-He looks around at what little remains of Creation-

Now let's see.....I recognize that stump! Is it still somewhere around...?

-Rayleigh huffs, and folds his arms, looking up at the ship, then back to his captain-

If we're planning on giving her a getaway, I don't see how you're pulling it off. The Jackson's landlocked.

........Ah HAH! Here it is!

-Roger tosses aside some shrubbery and overgrowth, before walking over to Homura and HOISTING her up-

-and taking her....to an ancient-looking, giant slingshot-

C'mere, Archer, I need you to help me pull this thing back!

-Pygma sat atop a rock-

-reality collapsed around them-

-they were curious, but they were also scared-

This... feeling.

It's familiar.

Like it is my own.

And yet I cannot bear to touch it...

-they adjust their seating, and stare at the unreality long-fully-

I don't know where I'll go.

I was fake. I had no purpose.

Everything I touched, vanished into ash.

-the rock shrinks up to where Pygma only stands upon a pebble-

And so now I feel the touch that I gave.

It's... cold. I didn't know what the cold was...

But this feeling. I know it by concept alone.

-half of Pygma disappears along the vertical axis-

This is goodbye.

-and for a brief moment, before Pygma vanished-

-the mask changed from a featureless blank expression-

-to that of the Tragedy Mask-

I mean, I'm really here on Chaldea's behalf to see what the hell's going on. If I die here, I'll just be sent back there as memories. Mission accomplished.

(Archer's body looks... definitely like it's seen better days)

(parts of it are already vanishing into wisps of magical energy, the unreality having an obvious effect on him - the only reason he's even persisting is his class's Independent Action skill, one which lets Servants temporarily defy the rules of Not Existing)

(but even this unreality is too strong for him to remain stable...)

I really don't think I'm in much of a state for that, Roger. But... may as well.

(with a smile on his face, Archer grabs onto the sling, pulling it back... even if his fingers are fading away)

That's the spirit!

-He helps Archer pull the band back, setting Homura within it-

-Rayleigh joins in, as the trio pull it back as far as it will go and take careful aim-

This direction feels right...!

-He laughs and grins, one more time-

See you round, Homura! Tell everyone I said hello!

-He lets go, and Homura is LAUNCHED-

-Zipping past bubbles of Unreality, hurtling towards a certain Bus....-

Homura: (looks at the three, maybe twice as long on Archer)    ...Every thought in my brain is telling me that this will be the last time I see you. Yet...somehow I'm not really accepting it.    (turns and prepares her posture)    Make it quick. I'll see you on the other side.    (small smile emerges)

Bus

(With Val proving surprisingly adept at the wheel, the Bus weaves falling debris and disappearing shi-tuff, yes, stuff, as it drives around the crumbling remains of the Room Dimension. Finally, a green light goes on on the dashboard and a Ding! sound is made.)

Val: Oh! It's ready!

Isabela: Great, can we please go now before we get deleted like a computer virus?

Val: (starts looking off) Far as I can tell, this isn't really like computer files being deleted so much as-

Isabela: VALERIE FELICITY FRIZZLE, focus!

Val: Right, right! Come on Bus, do your stuff! (pulls lever)

(The Bus starts stretching and spinning and turning in physically impossible dimensions before it stops, having suddenly grown wings and rocket engines as it pitches up and starts blasting off to the sky.)

Val: WA-HA-HA-HOO!!

(It isn't long into the flight, though, that a warning beep goes off and a radar screen comes down.)

Val: Hmm...Looks like we have someone running late! Can someone open the back door?

(even as the force of the slingshot breaks his brittle fingers, causing them to fade into mana... Archer can't help but seem satisfied)

...Perfect shot. And not a half-bad bow, Roger.

(he's continuing to fade away)

I'm definitely gonna return with some memories, that's for sure...

(The door opens just as Homura's body lands perfectly inside.)

Isabela: Shut it! We're about to break the stratosphere! Never thought I'd say that in a school bus...

(Whether the guys in the back help or if it's just Isabela, the back emergency door is shut just as a portal appears in front of the Bus, sending everyone outta this world. Hopefully with the right destination entered in the guidance system.)

End!

Main Room —> Upstairs

(Günther rests... He is delivered.)


Outside

Go in peace.

(The glowing celestial being smiles warmly as Venom departs.)


(Those who depart through these portals; Savannah, Venom, Gracia, Solace and anyone else, would feel warmth cradling their very essence as they do so. A vision enters their head, the birth and growth of a great, hot, burning thing, a temporal weightiness... The soothing passage of an absolutely massive amount of time, but also the creeping despair.)

(The loneliness.)

(And it continues. Even in this abridged, imperfect glimpse, the travelers, in their sojourn, are given the impression of a life spent watching from afar. The perceptions, as if blind and deaf, feeling at civilizations from a vast distance with a senseless sense, watching without eyes as they bloom, grow and decay endlessly, like lichen on a distant set of rocks. Looking, but never touching, admiring, but never interacting.)

(As this cycle degrades into a depressive pattern, the inside of the Being decays. Hydrogen depletes, the original Form swells massively, grotesquely, the light a sickly blue-white... For another agonizing, immeasurable swath of time, the reality of death now makes itself real. Many deaths, the deaths of trillions, were witnessed, the sting numbed by the sheer numbers and the repetition, the growth and decay like a slime mold on a fallen leaf, yet...)

(Finality, it would take even something so timeless, so unmoving.)

(But at one instant, a divot made itself known, a tear just large enough to allow for the passage of the dying inferno. Beyond, from a desperate palpation of the surface, lay another such colony, in stunted bloom.)

(It passed through, into the sky. Years of silence, watching fondly;)

(a beautiful young man, almost like a woman, playing a lyre, a strange legless cat, the lengthy and repeated sufferings of a courrier, a bizarre legal trial attended by a yellow mouse and a god of death, the hateful crusades of a shadow, an ill-fated romance between two men, the salvation of a Servitor, the coming of another visiting Being... one more willing to interact...)

(For a small snapshot, almost a blink of an eye, a few small days of warmth and happiness are had as the Presence makes itself low... Becomes Ray. The images are swift and frantic, but warm... not lonely.)

(Almost as swift, but not quite... The birth and growth of an awkward young boy, the joy of his first taste of ice cream, the aching dread as his schoolmates wait to beat him, the swell of confidence as he reads about surgery...)

(And the momentous, stabbing ache as his family is felled in one short evening.)

(Seclusion follows, scattered thoughts, the experiences average down into a tormented hermitage, only the short year and a half or so following passage to the strange divot in space breaking up the awful pattern.)

(and as the experiences fade... you have arrived)

It isn't easy to let go of something that was dear to you. A place that was, for the longest time, home. But just as you cannot step into the same stream twice, you cannot go home again.

The room is crumbling into nothing. Less than nothing. As everyone escapes in their vehicles, and their crafts, and their portals, they can see the last edifice of the room winking out of existence, forever. No fanfare. No loud, tremendous crumble. Where once was existence, now is nonexistence.

As you cross the void between universes, you cannot help but feel like something special was lost.


The city is pristine as it's been, quiet, with hardly anyone living here. A secondary crossroads...

The first thing that arrives in the city is the trolley. It crashes through a building, screeching to a stop in the city's central park.

aghhhh fuck my head

The Jazztronauts stumble out of the trolley. The Pianist flops out of a suitcase full of pillows and blankets.

Then... the Excelsior arrives, touching down gracefully on the grass.

And portals, and portals, and portals begin to open...

And the Sfida lands, as does... that odd school-bus. Soon, everyone who was escaping the room, even any stragglers or latecomers, has arrived in this small park...

-Bob the cat is sitting on a central fountain, licking his paws.-

City (108)

-The group of people should be able to notice a very small blue-haired boy that is wearing a suit that looks a tad too big for him not too far away from you all.-

-Some of you might recognize him, others may recognize him as a boy that looks eerily like another boy you might have met, and others still may not recognize him at all.-

-He's holding a sign that says 'Welcome'. Where did he get it from...? Maybe he received assistance from some of the people in this strange city?-

-Regardless, he stares at the group of people that have appeared (once they're all out of their respective vehicles, presumably). He has his usual eye patched, blank expression.-

Magic School Bus

(X and Zero are sitting on the Magic School Bus, watching the Room's dimension be destroyed before their eyes.)

Narrator: The war has ended now and peace has been restored, but those who sacrificed themselves for the victory will never return. Exhausted, X & Zero gaze at the destruction caused by the Skaven and ask themselves if culling a species known for having a one-track mind was the only option. Could they have found another way?

Sitting in the back of the bus, the answers seem to escape them. They know they'll fight more bad guys in the future before they'll find an answer. How long do they have to fight? How long will their pain last? Maybe the X-Buster and Z-Saber know for sure.....

Ran REMOVES SWORD, healing the wound quickly, taking it gently to the heart of the city.

Whether it be a building, or park, or even a pedestal, fitting as it may be, she takes her breath.

And stabs it into the ground.

Ship's Cabin

The man starts to stir, lifts a hand to his head. He shakes it — then his posture seizes. He bolts upright, looks out turns across the cabin, looking feverishly for a window. And then he sees it. The buildings. The mass of them, the — oneness of it all. He cringes, grits his teeth.

"No, no, no!"

Link punches the wall, his eyes tearing up, realizing all at once what was lost.


City Limits

Venom renders into existence with a smile upon its face. It looks around. Taking in the sights. "We like it here," it says. "Reminds us of home."
