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 ))

... Hello again.

[thundagathighs.livejournal.com]

... Oh, hey Saber.

[flatchestking.livejournal.com]

I thought, just in case, it would be good to get a 'final' meeting in. We never really met much, and I thought one more would be nice.

[thundagathighs.livejournal.com]

You know what? I agree. No better time than the present.

[flatchestking.livejournal.com]

Right. Do you mind if I ask how long you have been here for?

[thundagathighs.livejournal.com]

Would've been a year next month. You?

[flatchestking.livejournal.com]

If I counted right, over two years...

[thundagathighs.livejournal.com]

Really? Man...

And some of the people here have been here even longer.

[flatchestking.livejournal.com]

I don't even know how many are expecting this to be fake, and how many believe it.

[thundagathighs.livejournal.com]

I think it's real, but for what it's worth, my opinion probably doesn't mean much compared to the older residents.

[flatchestking.livejournal.com]

Even if they are extremely jaded?

[thundagathighs.livejournal.com]

Sometimes being jaded can blind you to what's right in front of your face. [ sort of waves his invitation ]

We haven't heard from the island in a while. Is it really that surprising?

[flatchestking.livejournal.com]

... Which part?

[thundagathighs.livejournal.com]

The island being 'gone'-- maybe it was just busy with this?

Plus, I don't think it's ever pulled a trick like saying we'll go home and then not, right? But I might be wrong.

[flatchestking.livejournal.com]

If it has, I can only assume it meant 'home' as in where ever it is that someone may have shacked up in here.

[thundagathighs.livejournal.com]

Yeah, this is oddly... clear.

In any case, I'm not taking any chances.

[flatchestking.livejournal.com]

... Chances? What do you mean?

[thundagathighs.livejournal.com]

I'm not going to let the chance to say goodbye slip by me again.

[flatchestking.livejournal.com]

... Again?

[thundagathighs.livejournal.com]

I don't have a home to go back to.

[flatchestking.livejournal.com]

Was it destroyed during a war or similar?

... or is it something else...?

[thundagathighs.livejournal.com]

Something else.

Before I came here, I faced off against an entire army. Just me.

[flatchestking.livejournal.com]

... Ah.

[thundagathighs.livejournal.com]

So it's kind of a weird feeling, right now.

[flatchestking.livejournal.com]

... Back in my world, there is... a 'place' known as the Throne of Heroes. The souls of heroic warriors rest there after death. It is set aside from the cycle of life. Perhaps you may be in luck...?

*she has no bloody idea what to say really*
