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!)

[said a skeleton, which Jiminy clearly is now.]

[kindaruledatit]

Dude.

[Bugs have skeletons???]

[whistlenotchirp]

[Okay now he's concerned.]

...Did I say something wrong again?

[kindaruledatit]

D-dude! Jiminy! Look at yourself!

[she's freaking out a little?]

[whistlenotchirp]

Why? Is there a tear in my jacket? My fly open?! Wha

[He sees his arm.

Oh.








Oh.]

[kindaruledatit]

Yeah. Yeah. You're like... dead dead, now. I don't...

[wait. mmmmmmmgh.]

Oh man, was it that pop can?

[trashcubes]

Whaaat theee fuuuuuuck?

[why is cricket friend a skeleton now



... also who forgot to remind wall-e that swearing is bad]

[whistlenotchirp]

Language!

[trashcubes]

[WALL-E immediately brings his hands up to cover where... well, where WALL-E might have a mouth if they were a more human-looking robot that had one, so actually their hands are sort of just here in the empty space below their eyes.

We're so sorry we did not mean to upset you Jiminy.]

[hallotween]

...

Oh.

[beat]

It, uh. It wasn't the can, was it?

[whistlenotchirp]

...What can?

[hallotween]

The one they threw-- [OH GOD HE DOESN'T. HE DOESN'T KNOW...]

You're, uh. Kinda looking a little thin there, Jim.

[whistlenotchirp]

...Well, I guess I haven't been eating a while, with all the excitement. But I actually don't feel all that hungry.

[hallotween]

[...

oh, he'll figure it out. eventually.]

It is a really nice place.

[folkscallmewander]

[...Oh.

Wander's not gonna tell him.]

[ilovepuppies]

[YOU GOTTA BE KIDDIN ME RIGHT NOW]

[whistlenotchirp]

[Post-awareness, he's just, uh.]

...Well, at least this one ain't Hades' fault.

[ilovepuppies]

Seriously, dude? You're gonna go and kick the bucket after all that?

[whistlenotchirp]

Well, I certainly didn't plan on it!

...But I guess that's the way the cookie crumbles.

[ilovepuppies]

...What if somebody steps on you in here?

[madeofpine]

[.....]

Jiminy?

[whistlenotchirp]

[Well now that he's Aware, he's just.

Erm.

Ah.

Shit.]

...Minor problem here, sport.

[madeofpine]

Don't say that, this isn't minor!

[Gaston dying was minor, this is-- on some level Pinocchio knows he doesn't have to breathe but it's feeling very much like he's out of air now, and there's just too much to process and it's. Scary. And he doesn't know what to do.]

What happened to you?!

[whistlenotchirp]

I- [Oh this hurts. This hurts a lot. Because it suddenly hits him that he can't go back. That Pinoc will have to go home without him and survive everything all over again, without a guide by his side.

He hops over to him, his son, quickly. He has to be there for him. If he can't be there for him in the future, he has to at least be here now.]

I... I guess I'm gone Pinoc. I'm sorry.

[sharpasanarrow]

Are you just going to leave us with that child?

[How irresponsible.]
