SING, O GODDESS
[The place that Zagreus brings them to is an abandoned house. Like the rest of Greece, at first the grass and plants are dead, withered. But only at first.
As everyone files into the garden, it starts to slowly come to life. flowers begin to bloom. Fruits and vegetables start to sprout from the soil. The trees begin to grow once more. Wheat stalks slowly pop up out of the ground. Wherever this is, it's clear that life is returning-and the gods are awakening.
It's probably best that they don't return to the underworld, to the House of Hades-but, if anyone wishes to, Charon has arrived with the dead from the previous rounds-now alive-and little baby Ayame. If anyone wishes to go there-though, why would anyone ever willingly go back to the House, knowing you-know-who is probably awake by now?-they can.
But for those who stay here, there is food and drink, wine and bread, fresh meat and ripe crudités. Talk. Plot. Say your goodbyes before you are SHIFTed back to your homeworlds.
Who knows? Maybe there are still some surprises left to be had. But, either way...it is a good day. The new moon will pass. The sun will rise.
The Game-or at least, this variation of it-is over.]
((OoC: And with this, Round 7 is complete! Thank you everyone who participated-we hope you enjoy the aftermath, and stay tuned for the SHIFT Meme and HMD!))

I guess....
That... that might kill you too, though. If we can't get out.
[A sigh.]
Sorry.
[The question puzzles her slightly, not seeing the reasoning behind it, and she looks at him curiously, head tilted slightly to one side.]
I mean, I think so?
I guess it's hard to know if you're missing memories, but I don't have any holes anymore....
Why, though?
no subject
[at this point it's just a more dignified way to go]
...
Is Ten-money or whatever cooler than me. 'Cause. You've probably known him longer than me and I'm kinda just a guy. Not even a really impressive guy I'm just a guy and you know, I never want to pressure you into anything, and, and, and...
1/2
OH.
SHE GETS IT.
She is not going to laugh at him, she is definitely not going to, though it takes several moments to fight that feeling down.]
no subject
Oh. Because of, um....
[Aoi has been wandering around, doting on Ayame, and she's watched him distantly from time to time, feeling odd.]
You... don't have to worry about that, I think. Jumpy and I are childhood friends. We went to elementary school together, but we hadn't seen each other for....
Gosh, I think it's been 10 years. Not before the Nonary Game, anyway. You might even get a chance to meet him. I think the two of you might get along.
But we don't really... know each other very well. He, um....
H-he helps me. And I'm grateful for that. But.... But we must just get closer, in that future that Aoi is from. We're not dating or anything.
no subject
...Yeah, because when there's suddenly a baby between your girlfriend and a guy she didn't remember knowing up until a bit ago, there's some valid questions there.
But okay. I won't really take it as a whole...threat or anything. Sure. I'd be more than glad to be his friend.
If we manage this whole dimension-shifting thing, maybe we can get Maki and Shuichi to go to our dimension too. Could make a whole rescue effort of the thing.
no subject
It's... different to be told that one of me, somewhen, might have a baby and another for her to be, um... right here.
[It def feels weird for her.]
She certainly makes Aoi happy, though, and I'm glad for that, at least?
And okay! If we can figure it out, we may as well save them, too. That's been the whole plan with all of this for a while.
no subject
But that'll be great! Shuichi, Maki Roll, Himiko, and Kiibo will probably be the easiest first...since they were still alive to begin with when I wasn't, but...
Maybe that's the new mission here. Save people from crap like this happening to them. Do what we gotta do. Be the real heroes!
no subject
H-HM]
It... it might not be that easy, I'm afraid, Kaito.
But....
But your friends, them at least....
I'm sure we can save them, if we can figure out how!
no subject
Well, it's a start. Yeah. They're the most important ones, to me, anyway.
...
Except one or two.
They can stay.
[you know, korekiyo and whoever the mastermind is shuichi will tell him , don't need to be saved]
no subject
Something terrible is going to happen, back... in my home.
But... but I'm determined to stop it.
That's why I have to go back.
Are you sure you want to come with me for that?
no subject
I'd rather go be with my girlfriend in the terrible situation she's in rather than go back to the one I'd have no clue how to fix.
So yeah, I'm pretty sure.
Plus, you know, I love you. That factors into it too obviously.
no subject
[She says this like it's just the absolute sweetest nicest thing and not like something that is probably a given for most of the people here.]
Kaito....
[And she's going to turn to him and kiss him again, standing on tiptoes to do so.]
no subject
[For a second, he's like wait, did I overstep and then she kisses him and that all melts away, wrapping his arms around her waist and kissing her in return.]
