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!)

[Lekmet had always been a tertiary figure in her life. She had mostly known him as one of the stuffier members of the Magic High Commission and their interactions were usually just some boring royal business. But the more she had watched him in the manor, the more she saw him bonding with Marco, the more she started to think of him as a friend. A real, caring friend who she wanted to spend more time with and get to know better.

Also he was a badass with a chainsaw.

Star had every intention of giving him a piece of her mind like she had with all the others, but when he appears, her righteous fury drains out of her.

She just moves in for a hug.]

S-star...!

[Never in all his...years? decades? centuries? of existence had he thought he'd be this close to the Butterflys past Magic High Commission connections. Star was like a kid to him as well, it didn't matter if they hadn't spent long enough in proximity with the rituals happening. After everything that's happened, he hopes.

He hopes his kids would never go through anything like this, ever again.]

You did wonderful, kid. I'm so proud of you.

[BLOWS HER NOSE IN HIS ROBES sorry goatdad]

I really wanted to take you home with us. Marco said you're dead in my future anyway, so... we could've hung out more.

[angelgoatdemon]

[STAR PLS- he does laugh a bit though]

I've been thinking about it ever since Marco told me and...It's possibly for the best I stay here.

B-But, who knows! You might definitely see me again sometime. Magic is mysterious in that way!

[ilovepuppies]

Say... you think the scissors can bring us back here?

[angelgoatdemon]

Now that you've seen this place, I don't see why not!

[SCREW THE GODS. BECOME AS GODS.]

I think I might be able to visit as a ghost once a year. Something about a tradition of remembering!

[ilovepuppies]

[Star's eyes widen, and for the first time since they crossed the bridge, she smiles.]

So I can come visit you! And you can come visit us! This doesn't have to be the last time we see each other!

[This isn't forever. She laughs and gives him another big hug.]

I'm gonna work on a spell that summons chainsaws! I'll show it to you next time we hang out!

[angelgoatdemon]

Of course! There are some things we can't change, but it doesn't mean we can't find loopholes!

[Lawful Neutral to Chaotic Neutral is his character arc- after glancing around to make sure none of the gods were listening, Lekmet gives a knowing wink and goes in for the hug]

Star!! ...I would love that. I've been practicing some magic back in the Manor, and dabbled in some pyrokinesis.
