ENDGAME ALL GROUPS: WHEN YOU WISH UPON A STAR

[An ominous door has appeared in the starry skies above The Other Side. It’s not at all what Group 3 expected to happen when touching the symbol - and yet, something about it doesn’t surprise you.

Should you leave with Rod and/or Walt and Mickey, you’ll find them here. All the facts will start coming together, and only one name comes to mind: Hades.

But..you have each other. You stand here, ready for any and all eventualities. Even in the face of the demise or everything.

Welcome to your final test, Foolish Mortals. Keep your head up.]

(ooc: Welcome to the end of the world! There’ll be no mod tag-ins/plot advancement for about an hour (12:05 EST), to allow everyone to reunite and regroup.)

Oh gosh, we gotta--we gotta clean that wound. [His shaking hands manage to open the kit and frantically rummage through its contents to pull out the alcohol.]

Does--does anyone have any metal?!

[luckily, Marnie was freed and happened to be running by with her fire swords.]

What the heck happened--

I-Shadows, I-I tried helping, and-!

[PANIC]

I-it's.. I should have used my..... l-light...

[Marco says weakly. Don't blame yourself Soos, you literally did nothing wrong here.]

[That's not gonna stop him from blaming himself, but nOW IS NOT THE TIME]

Marco! Marco, just-just stay awake! We're gonna fix this! We're gonna fix this!

[PLEASE DON'T DIE]

[Marco just gives Soos a small nod in reply.]

Marnie! We need you to hold up those swords to stop the blood loss!

[He never thought he'd have to perform emergency surgery on the battlefield but gosh his he glad he picked that up in the past 500 years.]

Just--Marco? Marco, hold onto somethin', alright?

[she's read enough age-inappropriate non-fiction books to understand what's going on here. she rushes over and holds up the swords to Wander because. uh. she's still like 13 she doesn't wanna do this herself???]

[it's fine this is fine

He'll just grab out for Star's hand since she's here it's Fine]

[She's right here]

I can't lose you again.

[He grips the handles with both hands and stands up. It's easier to angle it from up here. He moves the fiery metal closer to the wound and stops short of touching skin.]

Marco? [Steady, Wander. He depends on you.] I'm so sorry. It's just for a second and it'll be over. Be brave for us, okay?

[The sword touches the bleeding stump.]

[You know. He's not sure if this is better or worse then getting his leg torn off and dying from it.

On one hand he's alive.

But on the other hand a talking spoon is cauterizing his wound with a flaming sword.

In any case, he tightens his grip on Star's hand and closes his eyes tight. Trying to just. Suck it up with a high pitched whine kind of sound as his the flames burn his skin.

It's fine this is fine this is to be expected from a battle, right? And if he can't withstand this how is he ever going to be the squire to a princess?]

[Star feels his grip tighten, and she throws her other arm around him and hugs him close to her because like heck is she going to let him suffer alone this time]

[And soon after, Wander pulls the sword away and holds it out towards Marnie.]

I need to disinfect it. Hold still. [Not asking for help, Wander grips the bottle, fumbles around with the cap, and begins pouring it on the cotton wipe.]

[COOL THAT WAS SUPER FUCKED UP SHE'S JUST. GONNA GO FIGHT SHIT.]

[softly to star, but with feeling:]

I hate this.

[He's talking! That's a good sign, right?]

We'll get you a new one?

[whispers]

Is that possible?

[It sounds fake but maybe magic??]

I sorta did it before! Granted it turned into an evil tentacle monster, buuut....

[I mean if they can turn Rod into a tank surely they can give Marco a new arm]

[Wander silently works on wrapping up the would and keeping it clean. It was one life he was able to save, even if there were so many others lost.

He brushes the hair out of Marco's eyes.]

You're gonna be fine, Marco. All you need is a lotta rest. [He'll just collapse on top of him for a hug, thank grop.]

[Everything hurts and burns and stings but he is alive thanks to Wander. So all and all? This was a success... sort of.

Either way, a small smile is on Marco's face at the hug and he pulls his remaining arm out from underneath him and Star, to hug them both back.]

I.. I can still fight. I just need to rest for.. a couple of minutes.

[He's not giving up that easily.]

Dude, no.

[Hey Marco, now you're on Soos' shoulder as he's running you towards the church.]

[Wander packs up the kit and watches Marco's friends fuss over him. His job here is done.

...But there are others up ahead who might need just as much medical attention. He's got to get closer to Hades and make sure they're alright.

He turns away and heads across the battlefield, running between shadows and fighters and never looking back.]
