You'll have to explain it to me, because I'm not too familiar...
"Yeah... all I have to do now, is make it until the end."
He smiles at her, showing her his true face while smiling. Despite his condition right now, this smile is even warmer than his usual ones.
"And after that, I'll wait for you, no matter how long it takes."
He laughs a bit, though he also has a few tears.
"I'd play this demented game a million times over if it'd ensure we meet again afterwards."
By the way, this is the first time he's ever dropped his camouflage. Even when by himself, he never changed back, because it reminded him of the past. Femji means enough to him that he doesn't care about the past when with her. No other character has that kind of impact on him.

Aura pulls away.
"I... I hope so..."
She sighs.
"I hope that... I'll be able to forgive myself as well..."
She then presses on a button underneath her sleeve, and the Black Assassin arrives.
Yes?
"...There's no need to act like that any more."
The Assassin blinks, before nodding.
"As you wish, then. But... why?"
"...Because I've changed my mind. I'm not going to die in despair."
The Assassin smiles slightly.
"I'm glad to hear that... my friend."

"So... does this mean that you'll give my plan a chance?" Wanda asks Aura, laying a hand on her shoulder.

"Yes, I will."
Aura... smiles a small, but sincere smile.
The Assassin just sighs quietly.

Well, that was easy...
What about her being ass to K, though?
"We can handle what is true, for we are already living it."
It's a catchphrase, which is exactly what it means, that the characters that are most similar to me all share. Because at the heart of this pessimistic shit... there lies at least some small shred of optimism.
You only have to play one game.
*She smiles in his embrace.*
And the end of the game is nearly here.
*Her smile broadens.*
You'll soon be in paradise... And then, all that's left is for me to get there. But don't worry, I won't rush things. Not when it would risk ruining it all... Better not to think about that.
*She cuddles him tightly.*
The worst is behind you. The best is yet to come.
The fact that only 140 characters are allowed here is honestly so disappointing to me.
"I'm glad to hear it, Lyria," Wanda says to Aura, returning her smile. "So... when should we carry this plan out?"
The Vagrant
"You... you decide."
Aura just wipes off some of her tears, while the Assassin just smiles at Wanda.
"Thank you for helping her."

That's true. That's why Tobajas's catchphrase is 'There's always a way out'. Because, even though that isn't through, it helps give him hope.
"Yeah. 6 months of planning, 9 months of playing. There's only three things that need to happen before the finale of the endgame."
He pauses.
"...No, wait, scratch that. Four things."
He smiles.
"I figured that, since my time's shortening, we should at least do something fun together once. Like a... uh..."
He looks a bit shy now.
"Uh... date?"
Said date could be anything from them hanging out to them fighting something together, depending on the circumstances at that time.

...A-a date?
*She blushes slightly, then shrugs.*
Sure. That'd be nice. Anything in particular you really wanna do? Like, maybe we could hang out somewhere... Although, first things first, we're gonna need somewhere to stay. As it so happens, I know a guy... he might be willing to help out.

"It was my pleasure," Wanda says to the Assassin. "But what should I call you now that you're no longer an assassin?"
She turns to Aura. "Well, you probably want some rest right now, so... maybe we should pick a day and do it then. For now, I'd be willing to let you spend more time with that boy you probably think of as a son."
He slightly blushes too.
"U-uh, well, anything's fine with me! As long as you have fun, I'll have fun."
He scratches his head.
"Ah, yeah, that's right. I had forgotten about that..."
He smiles.
"If you trust him, then let's give it a shot."
Remember his scream and locking down because of him no longer having a HQ, his house? And now he already forgot all about that, thanks to Femji. It shows just how much more important she is to him than the loss of his best advantage.

"Just call me Ella."
Aura, meanwhile, just nods, and sits down next to the child, who has fallen asleep along with the kitten, and she sighs.
She looks back at Wanda.
"Thank you... for everything."
And thank you for giving me another purpose in life... perhaps.
@Micool: This is just the beginning...

...isn't this moving a little fast?

Aldon bums around the street by himself, seeming to be in rather intense thought.

Daydre floats down from the sky near Aldon.
"Something wrong, person whom I do not know the name of?"

"Okay... Ella," Wanda says to Ella, smiling slightly at her.
She turns to Aura and gives her another hug. "Trust me, Lyria, it was no problem at all."
Wow... The two really have gotten close, haven't they? I can't remember if the arena has a heartwarming page or not...
*She pulls out a phone to dial a specific number... then freezes as a very large metal behemoth of a being strolls up, idly holding a gun/hammer hybrid.*
"Couldn't help but overhear that your house got a little ruined. Let me guess, you want to rent out the quote unquote hospital for a while."
I... um...
"Eh, don't really need it, since healing is all over the fuckin' place in this arena, and death isn't much of an issue either. And there's the added bonus of it being far enough from here that people'll have trouble finding it, but not far enough that it's a pain to get there. It's the least I can do for you two."
...Thank you...
*The drone chuckles.*
"By the way, you two're a great couple."
*He deploys wings and flies away, leaving Femji and the Black King where they are.*

Aldon is startled at Daydre's entrance, immediately grabbing his bow and aiming an arrow straight at Daydre. "Who are you, person I am also not knowing the name of?"

"Ah!" She abruptly drops to the ground.
"I'm Daydre!.. Please don't point that at me."

Ella just nods, and then departs, deciding to give Aura and Wanda some space.
Aura gets hugged again, and she's surprised.
"I've never been hugged like this for more than five years..."

Rolan strolls up and places an arm on Aldon's shoulder, squeezing firmly, the tone in his voice is calm and friendly, yet stern, "You know better than that, Aldon... lower the bow."

"I'm as free as the dust in the solar wind."
"You're not complaining about it though, are you?" Wanda asks Aura, smiling slightly and chuckling at her own little remark.

I think it does. But yeah, they have. To think it started because the King/Tobajas just gave in because Femji wouldn't accept no for an answer.
He's a bit stunned by how fast that went by. And by the drone's comment. He sighs, then thinks to himself.
I'll only have to be the villain for a little while longer. ...It's strange though... why do I keep getting rewarded with things I could only dream of during my time alive?...
He shakes his head.
Nevertheless, four things need to happen, two of those things involving Vezon and the Shadow Queen, one being the date, and the last one... that's Demo's punishment for nearly making me lose my mind. ...But that's something for later.
He smiles at Femji.
"Well... should we go then?", he asks. "Vezon and the Shadow Queen can survive on their own, they'll find a house with ease."

Hakkyou and her kids didn't go far, and were hanging on every word, watching them with an expression, a cross between someone who has found a feast before them, and someone touched by a emotional story. It was easy to tell they saw it as both.
