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 gets to see her daughter's wedding. Skeleton Padme is just beaming as she stands by with the rest of the family party.]

I never thought I'd get to see this.

[Looking out over the guests in attendance, there's a pang of happiness as Leia sees her mother standing there, along with her son, and Han, and Stan's nieces. It defies all odds, all imagining....and yet it feels right. A good bookend to her story.

Her mouth twists into a smile for Padmé, and she gives her a teary-eyed nod.]

[Padmé nods back. A proud smile on her face.]

[He has no right to butt into the wedding by any means. But his meeting with his daughter was peaceful enough, he doubts she’d mind if he observed. He stands next to his wife, and with them both remembered the only difference between his bones and hers is the silver in his hair and beard (he looks like Luke, he notices, or Luke looks like him).]

When I first met her, I saw so much of you in her I thought I was going mad.

[didnotlosethewilltolive]

[Good she was hoping that you wouldn't stay away for the entire thing. She reaches over to hold his hand.]

She takes after both of us. Though we do seem to share the same type of hairstyles.

[Oh star wars ladies hairstyles.]

I'm glad you spoke to her.

[thedadside]

[He smiles at her when she takes his hand, threads the bones of his fingers between hers.]

The Force is as strong in her as it is in Luke, and Ben. It would have drawn me to her even if she wasn't our daughter.

I can spend the rest of our time making things right with her when she joins us for good. I didn't want to spoil her happiness with too many apologies now.

[didnotlosethewilltolive]

You're learning.

[Said fondly though.]

I'm still glad. And I hope that day doesn't show up for a long while....but when it does, we'll all be together.

[For once in their lives.]
