The Ultimate Anti-Climax of Ultimate History?

[insertshortrant.livejournal.com]

[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 ))

Mmm... I see what you mean. Guess it's what happens when there are still unresolved issues that needed fixing.

-- Hey, if it's any consolation, your project will become part of the island's landmark. Sure there's a chance everyone won't see it, but some do remember it, right?

[knightofelemia.livejournal.com]

Being a knight isn't easy, but then again, it can always be worse. Maybe I should try looking at this in a more positive light again somehow.

I'm pretty sure the only memorable thing about it is the many shocked faces I got when I shown it to people. Pretty sure I left a high count marked somewhere on the door too. Oh well, at least that's something.

[rebeleleven.livejournal.com]

I know it's hard, but knowing you, you'll find a way to bounce back.

Well, we still have some time left in this island. Do you think you could show me what you had finished so far?

[knightofelemia.livejournal.com]

You know me already, huh? I guess you're right though. The first thing I'm going to do is throw a Funbun party once I get home! Ha! Oh man, it's been a long while since I had a fresh Funbun from home!

Oh, if you want to, sure. You still remember the way to get there, right?

[rebeleleven.livejournal.com]

Maybe just a little bit, Lyner. [She laughs.] That's the spirit!

-- I think so, but you lead the way.

[knightofelemia.livejournal.com]

Come to think of it, you never had a Funbun before, have you? I still have some good unopened ones on me still if you like to try one.

Right, follow me then! [Motioning her to follow him and he makes his way towards the hot springs first since that's the halfway point!]

[rebeleleven.livejournal.com]

I haven't tried one, no, but sure.

[And she follows him!]

[knightofelemia.livejournal.com]

Well you're just in luck then! [Taking out one (1) Funbun (http://i45.tinypic.com/25iszgn.jpg) out from his inventory space and handing it out. Canon says it's a pretty sweet snack and headcanon goes with that it's like taiyaki only more awesome.]

Say Kallen... I haven't thought of a name for the place yet, so would you mind at least doing that for me since that is something I haven't even thought of that far yet.

[rebeleleven.livejournal.com]

[She takes said Funbun from him and glances at it.] It looks like a tuna bun...

-- A name? I'm not exactly creative with names, but I'll try my best.

[knightofelemia.livejournal.com]

A tuna bun? Now that's something new.

Psh, don't worry. Just as long as someone comes to appreciate to work put into it, I don't mind whatever you call it.

[rebeleleven.livejournal.com]

[Time to take a bite.] Mm... but it's really sweet.

What can I say? it's the effort that counts and it's nice to be recognized in general.

[knightofelemia.livejournal.com]

Aren't they? I don't know why but I get really invigorated every time I eat one and it's just not enough. They're really addicting to me.

[Passing the hot springs now and taking a turn towards the path way.] Then let's call this a teamwork thing if that's the case.

[rebeleleven.livejournal.com]

Teamwork, eh? [One more bite] Sorry I wasn't able to help you more on your project. I had a robot that could've sped up the process if need be.

[knightofelemia.livejournal.com]

...

Wait, you had a robot?

[rebeleleven.livejournal.com]

It was used for combat in my world back when there was a war.

[knightofelemia.livejournal.com]

No kidding! I was actually making a garage for that sort of thing in case we had visitors that pop up once a year. One of them is a giant robot that turns into a ground based vehicle so it was more of a place for him to stay-- man if I'd know about that, I'd get that done first.

[rebeleleven.livejournal.com]

You told me about the garage before, but a transforming robot? That's new!

[knightofelemia.livejournal.com]

Yeah! He even lets me ride inside him too! His name was Prime, I think. Optic Prime or something like that.

[rebeleleven.livejournal.com]

-- Does he really talk? Sounds like it does, and I thought I've seen every kind of robot there is.

[knightofelemia.livejournal.com]

Walks, talks, and thinks on his own! I'm actually curious to see if I can get other grathmelders from home and try to see if we can make one like him.

[And voila! We arrive to the the olde abandoned strip club only it actually looks like a child care center this time.]

[rebeleleven.livejournal.com]

Wow, that sounds amazing, I have to admit.

[And she glances at the child care center.]

... You did it, Lyner! It's actually done!
