i_s_l_a_n_d_rp | The Ultimate Anti-Climax of Ultimate History?

[So, all of you islanders have been recovering from the horrors of the Zombie Island Mish-Mash of Nuclear AWESOME, doing your island-y things. That's cool, so has Ed, off being his usual slightly-reclusive self and blowing things up in his Gilligan-lab to pass the time. Life returns to what passes for normal here, right?

...and then there's the note. Of course your first thought is 'Oh God, another event?' as would be the logical train of thought--

Wait a minute. Wedding invitation? Of the island and--WHAT?! And on top of that you're free to leave for home or wherever you like?]

...there's no way. This has to be a trick.

(( MINGLE POST HO!!! Are you skeptical of this ~*gift from the heavens*~ as Edward is? Are you one of the insanely hopeful that shall plan for where you'll go? Need to start making tearful goodbyes to your long-time buddies? Shanghai some fellow islanders to your homeworld for nefarious purposes? Get pissed at being brought here recently just to leave? Flip out and go find some Black Materia to call down Mete--wait.

So yeah. Post, mingle, have fun! And assume this is the day of the note-arrival, obvs. ~~Mods, if this is out of line, feel free to stake me out for the vultures. *A*b~~ ))

Be careful out there, and be sure to be a good girl.

... I will. You too.

Oh, by the way, I was wondering...

What is going to happen to your ship?

... I don't know. I suppose I can't bring it with me if the island's going to be sending me home.

Maybe it will show up with you!

I can hope-- it is kind of important.

What for, if I may ask?

Traveling.

I don't think I have seen it move before.

It does, and we have moved it-- there just hasn't been much need to.

Never tried fishing out in the deeper parts of the water?

Not really...

Too late now, that's for sure.

I've got a lot more on my mind than fishing.

I think fishing is supposed to help with that.

... mm, still. I have people to go see.

Of course. But remember that the apparent deadline is not short enough for you to run yourself haggard.

... And now that I said it, I really should not use the word 'deadline'.

... heh.

Still. It doesn't feel like enough time.

Now that it's happening, you have been struck with the realization that you haven't done enough, you should have done this or that, you want to burn the memories of others into your mind and the memory of you into theirs, to not leave any regrets.

Am I right?

...

[ A very long pause at that. ]

And the uncertainty that even though I told myself I was okay with letting go to do what I'm meant to back home, that I still don't... want to let those people precious to me leave my life forever.

It's good that you think of others that way. It really is.

Isn't it natural, though? To not let go of the ones you love.

Natural to those who can be considered true to their feelings.

... I suppose. I can't imagine feeling any other way after what I've been through here.

Then imagine an answer to this question; what do you think of this island and all that it has done?
