Recuérdame.

[riptorn]

[Those of you who wish to see those who passed on? You'll be directed outside by Zeus, where he raises his arms, and marigolds begin to float around him. They float upwards, and form into a bridge.

It's structurally sound, and it seems fitting that you can cross it.

Eventually, you'll see it. Elysium. The Land of The Dead. Gentle music plays as you cross over into the city.

It's...festive. It's always festive. The architecture is colorful and full of spirit, and your group seems to be the only ones...human in appearance. Even your old friends seem to be a bit more skeletal in appearance. You can spend as much time here as you like, but eventually, that bridge will disappear. And you'll have to leave.

But...they'll never truly be gone. Not if you remember them. And someday, you'll join them. But for now, you celebrate. You've earned your happy ending.]

(ooc: This is the last log for the three canon rounds of Foolish Mortals! Thanks for coming along for the ride - we loved having you, and we hope to see ya real soon!)

[She punches through his sweater and straight into his spine. Which. Maybe be careful with that, it's got a big slice through the middle as it is. Ford turns, eye sockets widening at the sight of Star.]

Hey, now, is that any way to treat a dead guy?

[ilovepuppies]

YOU'RE SO STUPID!

I HATE YOU!

[Just. bursts into tears.]

[sixfingeredstan]

[Oh, bless her. The old Ford would have been freaked out by the tears, but he's grown a lot over the past year or so. He smiles down at her.]

Missed you too, Star. Want a hug? I'm afraid I'm a little...bonier than I was.

[ilovepuppies]

NO I don't want a hug from a stupid dead guy who went and got himself killed because he's STUPID and yes I want a huuuug!

[sixfingeredstan]

[Ford just chuckles, reaching down to pat at Star's hair with a fond, bony hand, before he pulls her in for a tight squeeze.

It's. Not super comfortable, but hey.]

Glad to see you made it, kiddo. Did you kick Hades' butt for me?

[ilovepuppies]

[She ugly cries into his shirt for a while]

I completely vaporized him! But I didn't do it for you.

[sixfingeredstan]

[Ford snorts, but he looks...very impressed.]

Of course not. But Star, that's...incredible! I should've known you'd be the one to do it.

[Considering how much she fucking hated him, and that Ford gleaned that knowledge from about an hour of observation.]

[ilovepuppies]

H-hey, quit trying to change the subject! I'm chastising you!

[sixfingeredstan]

Oh—my apologies.

[He pulls back and gives her a sheepish grin.]

Go on, go on. I can take it. Rip me to shreds.
