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 ))

[ didn't really expect a thank you anyway angry midgets are all the same ]

Does it look alright?

[orsome.livejournal.com]

It's acceptable. Only took you two years to do it.

[cantwaitobeking.livejournal.com]

Fine craftsmanship takes a while. If I returned them to you in anything less than mint condition, you'd be upset.

[orsome.livejournal.com]

[ TWO YEARS MAN ]

Of course.

[cantwaitobeking.livejournal.com]

[ they're important bells okay ]

So.

[orsome.livejournal.com]

Do you believe it?

[cantwaitobeking.livejournal.com]

I do.

And if I'm wrong, everyone else who called it can just say 'I told you so' and we'll go along with life. But for what it's worth, I do believe it.

[orsome.livejournal.com]

So you can go find the Philosopher's stone.

[cantwaitobeking.livejournal.com]

And you can go save your Legacy.

[orsome.livejournal.com]

That's the plan.

[cantwaitobeking.livejournal.com]

[ Holding out his hand in a handshake-like manner. ]

Good luck, Jay.

[orsome.livejournal.com]

[ He's going to regard that hand for a moment before-- taking it. ]

If you don't become emperor I'll be disappointed.

[cantwaitobeking.livejournal.com]

This is me we're talking about. There's no way it can't happen.

[orsome.livejournal.com]

I'm doubting it because it's you.

[cantwaitobeking.livejournal.com]

Come on. Even you know I can get serious.

[orsome.livejournal.com]

When you're about to die.

[cantwaitobeking.livejournal.com]

And when it really counts.

[orsome.livejournal.com]

... All those times are when we were in danger of being killed.

[cantwaitobeking.livejournal.com]

Don't forget that time I gave you back your bells.
