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!)

But-I-

[He...he needs to take in a couple of deep breaths. He just...he doesn't understand...why do they just...]

I...I just...I still didn't want you to die. You...you or Mr. McGucket. You...you were supposed to survive, and instead I-I just had to tell Lekmet about you going through dimensions, and...

I just...wish it could've been different.

[Maybe it could've been him that died. Maybe it could've been someone else. He's...not really sure if that would be worse or not, but...he just wishes so badly things were different.]

Hey, now. If we were supposed to survive, we would have. Things happened the way they did for a reason, and honestly, Soos? I wouldn't mess with it for the world. I might be an old bag of bones, but I get to spend the rest of eternity here with the man I love. It's not the end, not for me.

[sorrydoods]

But...what about Stan? He...he was a mess when I got to talk with him again, and...I just...there's things now that I'm gonna have to tell him, and I don't how I'm supposed to do that now, and it's just...

[It's gonna be painful, and he knows it, but it's the truth, and if he doesn't get it out, it's just gonna eat him up inside.]

[Ford's skeleton lets out a sigh, and one bony hand comes up to run through his hair a little restlessly.]

I'm afraid you're barking up the wrong tree, Soos. Talking to people has...never been my forte. But if it's something important, you just have to say it any way you know how. I'm sure he'll understand.

[sorrydoods]

Are...are you sure? Cause...I really don't think it's something he's gonna wanna hear it, but...I also know that I can't just...keep it in or anything. If I try, it'll just be...painful.

[He wishes that it wouldn't have to come to that, but he knows it will. No way to get around it, really.]
