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 ))

... ah. Good evening, Youmu.

[samyonrai.livejournal.com]

Is there something the matter?

[mystearious.livejournal.com]

Did you get your invitation?

[samyonrai.livejournal.com]

Yes, I have. It is certainly good news to be given.

[mystearious.livejournal.com]

Yeah... at the same time, it's... a little jarring.

[samyonrai.livejournal.com]

I must admit, it is unexpected, but however sudden it may be I am grateful to finally be able to return to where we belong.

[mystearious.livejournal.com]

Yes... I can't deny that I need to go home. I've been here too long.

[samyonrai.livejournal.com]

Yes, and so have Lady Yuyuko and I. We all must get back to our duties.

[mystearious.livejournal.com]

...You know, she's very wise.

[samyonrai.livejournal.com]

[a beat, before she nods]

... She is rather playful, but she is a spirit who has existed for a very long time.

[mystearious.livejournal.com]

I can imagine-- I got that sort of impression from her.

[samyonrai.livejournal.com]

Mm. I am glad.

[mystearious.livejournal.com]

She gave me some good advice about leaving-- I think I'll take it.

[samyonrai.livejournal.com]

Ah- so she did? I did not imagine departing from here would be a difficult task for anyone, especially with all the ill thoughts regarding this place that is held amongst everyone.

It's not the place I'm attached to, it's the people.
