[It is time.

Though there was no timer, the time was clearly nearing its end. The darkness that encompasses this place becomes even darker as the hours dragged forward, until even the lights of the City's skyline seems to darken along with it. You can almost feel the Noise watching, an infinity set of eyes in the void beyond staring back, as everyone pulls together again to proceed down the street.

The brightest building in the sky is the dome, now. There's no barrier preventing you from going beyond the Central Building now. There's no need for it-the City is completely empty, its streets devoid of life, as everyone inevitably finds their feet bringing them to the dome.







There's no turning back now. Whatever you have, that is what you will bring on this final journey. Not just in items, but in mind, in spirit, and in soul. IT, the avatar of the Thing and orchestrator of your game, will not relent. IT knows it has bent you, but not broken you. Now IT intends to finish the job.

As you round the corner to the dome, you feel the rhythm suddenly take control of you. You feel a sucking sensation grab onto you, and try as you might you cannot fight. You are pulled in. And when you manage to clear your head and eyes, you are inside the building. It is massive, domed, and-





you are only in one corner of it. There is a small table with chairs, with everyone's name on little dot matrix displays in front of chairs. Not all of them, of course. There are 15 chairs, and where the survivors' chairs are white, the chairs of the dead are black, their dot matrixes empty and lifeless.

A glass panel separates this little set up from the rest of the building, which is concealed in red fog. Despite this, a worryingly slack-jawed Link and Hiyori are sitting in chairs on a raised step just behind the glass, their suits still impeccable and their irises swirling more intensely than before. They do not react when everyone comes in; they do not respond if someone tries to greet them. Next to Hiyori is a briefcase and a boombox, which even through the glass it is quite clear the static, pulsing rhythm coming from it is very, very loud. Kyuubey sits in its own chair, meanwhile, its eyes watching and its expression unchanging; a fourth chair sits empty next to them.

There is no visible sign of IT. But IT is there, just beyond the glass, just waiting to unleash ITs full might. It's almost mocking the Strangers, as if to say go ahead, draw your conclusions. You won't win. You can't escape.

Fifteen Strangers, from scattered multiverses. They were brought together once more to kill. Now, they must solve the final riddle. All of the knowledge and experiences they've had have led to this, and their newest evidence may help as well. The survivors have one chance to make this right and stop IT for good. Failure cannot be an option. If it is...no. Don't think about it. Just do it.


The trial for the future of all existence has now begun.]







[It's time!! The Strangers' objective here is simple, but all-important: they must pull all of the evidence you have together, unlock the answers they seek in full, and at last confront IT, the Mastermind.

This is it. There is no turning back. The blight curls ever-further from the darkness between the clusters. Can there be a cure?

Have fun, good luck, and may the right prevail.]

[ Good thing he came when he did. Looking over just in time to see Arthur getting viciously squeezed by one of those disgusting artery-things. So he ran up with as much speed as he could muster, jumped up and swung the scythe down, severing the artery holding onto Arthur. ]

Sorry. You can't have him!

[ He also may try to catch Arthur if he can. Maybe. ]

MESSAGES

[personal profile] cuteandinnocentpet 2020-03-01 05:03 am (UTC)(link)
[This Kyuubey is certainly different than the one who is sitting nearby. Other than being dead of course.]

Seeing as I am still dead, these need to get to you all quickly:

For Osomatsu, Franciscus says that he loves you and to remember him.

[Wow getting your own message, how sweet.]

Vita told me to say they're with you and confident you will write the best ending possible for all of them. Also that you are all her dear friends and she trusts you to fight your hardest and win! Oh, and for Arthur, she says she gives her blessing regarding your love for Emma.

[So much love.]

Jun says that if a kid can save the world, you can too!

Eliza says and I have to quote this: "Fuck grimdark endings! There's a happy ending ahead for all of you, if you do your best to reach it!"

[Kyuubeys swear, news at 11.]

Proto Man says that you've made it this far together. Together is how you'll beat this thing once and for all. And that they're rooting for you and so is everyone waiting back home. Also that 'And you'll meet again. Don't know where, don't know when.'

Lala says that they believe you can make a miracle-lun.

[Yes, it actually said that.]

And Jonathan says "Wait and hope." And that they believe in you.

[So much positivity coming out from this little dead rat. Or rather playing Messenger for positive people.]

That's all of them! Hopefully they're still watching too!

[R A G E.

Angbar is painful, but it is Dawnbreaker who results in the most impact. The entire brain begins to writhe so violently that it might actually start bouncing on the dais.]

Thanks. For bringing those messages to us. They're really important.

[Eric feels this, since the Dawnbreaker is still him.

Like hell he's going to let this thing take McBurn after all they've been through. If he can control it remotely, he'll make it shine while it goes in.]

[He drops King and kicks him back, turning to glare at Kyuubey.]

[The messages make him wince in... almost pain? He's not sure what's going on, only that he doesn't like what he's hearing, that he wants to forget those words even happened. He covers part of his face with his arm.]

[The artery practically disintegrates against the scythe, and Arthur is free.

The pulse turns on Karma.]

Shut up!

The world's made up of numbers! These aren't just any numbers, these are his numbers!


[Another growl.]

Isn't that what scares you, you tasteless tetrahedra?! People working together, our calculations working together outside your rhythm?!

Cooperation may be garbage, but if it takes you down, I can keep going! With his numbers, our numbers!

So get! Out! Of! My! HEAD!

[He's struggling to breath and there's frost and probably ice around his neck-but like Hell is he giving up now!]

It's-it's true. It's true...and you know it, Caleb. They care...we care...everyone cares. And I swear...to everything I can...I'm not leaving you here.

You're my brother...and I love you...and I'm never...going to stop caring.

[His voice is raspier, and he keeps needing to stop to breath a bit more, but he means every word that he says. He's putting his heart there entirely, because it's the truth.]

[He's free. Karma catches him. It's still hard to breathe, less because of constriction and more because it hurts like hell--

Arthur knows what this is. Can't do much more than a basic diagnosis, can't put a number to it, but he knows. Enough Medic training to identify it, based on circumstances and pain alone. He's breathless and winded as he speaks.]

Karma, I- think my ribs are-- [Broken. He's not going to be any more good in a straight fight like this, but he does fish the ice and volt formulas Eric gave him out, offering them over.]
carryabigstick: (pic#13791449)

[personal profile] carryabigstick 2020-03-01 05:14 am (UTC)(link)
No, Caleb-- you have to listen. These are everyone's wishes. For us... for you. These are our friends. Your friends.

People we still need to save together.

Come on... I know you can do this. I believe in you!

[ Once he's touched down on the ground, he just laughed, the sound almost manic in nature but he holds off on what he wants to say in lieu of making sure Arthur's taken care of. Even briefly wincing as Arthur told him how bad the damage was. ]

...Sorry I didn't come sooner. [ He'll carefully take those offered formulas and put them in his other jacket pocket. ] You did good. Let the rest of us finish it now. Take it easy.

[ He then straightened up and readjusted his grip on the scythe as he looked over to IT. ]

To answer your question? I sure as hell do. Please. If you think you can really come after me, then do it.

[ Is he fucking trying to taunt this thing? Why yes he is. He's good at this shit. ]
otherworldlyking: (82)

[personal profile] otherworldlyking 2020-03-01 05:19 am (UTC)(link)
Heh.

[ He can see the shine going on, and wonder if that had anything to do with Eric. Either way, he's suddenly enjoying himself a little more.

Kind of like they're fighting as one here - alongside everyone else of course. ]


You can enjoy the heat of these flames in Gehenna.

[ McBurn will definitely keep on slashing, more with Dawnbreaker than Angbar, seeing the thing wiggle around in pain like that.

Then he'll step back and stab deeply into the brain in one large, hard thrust with Dawnbreaker. ]
