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'll hear this one before she seems him. Probably much like her hallucinations, but there's a difference: ]

Jyn?

[ He sounds surprised...but so happy to see her. ]

Jyn Erso? [ A skeletal Cassian Andor comes bounding over to her. ] What are you doing here?

[astronomics]

Cassian!

[ HI SHE'S HUGGING THE SHIT OUTTA YOU, SKELETON OR NO. ]

I thought you'd be more surprised I wasn't here already.

[thefaceofafriend]

[ HI THERE, JUST AS FIERCE A HUG ]

At first, yes, but I had started to accept it as one of Chirrut's miracles. [ they're not JUST chirrut's cassian, the force belongs to a lot of people- ] But now...you're here, alive?

[astronomics]

[ HUGGING A SKELETON IS WEIRD BUT IT'S CASSIAN, SO. ]

I am. There was... I was teleported away, just before the blast hit. Into a... a blood ritual, but we stopped it. So Zeus, he... let us come here. Just for a little while.

[thefaceofafriend]

[ He pulls back to look at her for a moment. ]

You're serious. [ Has she discovered the ability to Jokes or. ] ...Of course you're serious. A...blood ritual, Jyn?

[astronomics]

A blood ritual. We were all forced to kill each other, and eventually I had to help stop the end of the universe.

[ Oh! She turns, putting an arm around his shoulders. ]

And by the way, this is Allene. My girlfriend.

[ Can you hear how fuckin proud she is because she's really fuckin proud. ]

[thefaceofafriend]

[ In all of that, the thing most surprising is: ]

Girlfriend?

[ Behold his befuddled skeletal face. ]

[kickbuttseatnuts]

[She waves happily, carrying a skeleton squirrel on his shoulder.]

Hiiiii! That's me, the girlfriend!

[astronomics]

She's... a lot happened, during the blood ritual. But I've met people under stranger circumstances.

[ Turns to Allene. ]

Allene, this is Cassian. He's... a good friend. Probably the best I ever had before all of this.

[kickbuttseatnuts]

[She looks up and down at him judging the competition, trying to figure him out from a glance.]

Well, any friend of Jyn's is a friend of mine.

[thefaceofafriend]

She speaks too highly. I'm a fellow rogue.

[ That name Bodhi gave them, it's really stuck in the afterlife. He smiles at Allene, after the initial surprise. ...He's been doing that more here, smiling. Something about being at peace. ]

Who is very pleased to see her smile so much. I take it you're to thank for that?

[kickbuttseatnuts]

Nothing wrong with rogues, man. Rogues are a high calibur of people.

Well, I don't know about entirely me. I think we just... happen to suit each other and it makes us both happy.

[thefaceofafriend]

Oh no, you don't understand. I knew Jyn Erso for a very short time, but I'm positive she's never looked as happy as she appears now.

[kickbuttseatnuts]

[She glances at Jyn and smiles again.]

It suits her face. Lights it up.

[thefaceofafriend]

We agree. [ Cassian smiles gently, at Allene. ] Thank you. For giving her the happiness she deserves.
