FINAL WEEK

[Soon after, many of the figures lay dead. They bodies are splayed all over the stage. The female, however, seems to be gone.

Where did she go? What is she planning? It's unknown. But, soon after the Titled leave the Debate Hall, they are struck with a vivid vision. It is quick, but strong. Another dream, and this time, it is a waking dream.

Another memory. The Depths haven't been cleaned, either. The halls are silent, and no new doors seem to have opened. Yet deep down, you know. The end is near.

Its time to get ready. So, get ready, Titled.

There are seven strangers left.]

[ Maglor bounds over to push Junior down and lick him thoroughly.

safe ]

[carries_war]

[He falls over easily, laughing, and tries to push Maglor away from his face.]

Hey, c'mon! This isn't the kinda bath I had planned!

[bythewaves]

[ The wolf chuffs at him, amused, and curls around his feet fondly ]

[carries_war]

[He sits up, wipes his face, and leans forward to wrap his arms around Maglor's neck.]

I was worried about you, too, y'know. Especially when that bitch acted like she expected us to vote for you...

[bythewaves]

[ He whuffs softly, nosing against Junior fondly.

He knows. It would have been worth it, if it had worked, but he's proud of Junior ]

[carries_war]

[Hey look, he can do the hair ruffling this time! Just scratching between Maglor's ears now.]

And I told you I wasn't gonna sacrifice you, right? I don't break my word.

[To punctuate, he looks around at Papyrus, Futaba and Alexis. He promised to protect them all...and Alexis might be a little immobile right now, but they're alive.]

[bythewaves]

[ A cheerful bark, and Maglor licks him again.

Proud ]

[carries_war]

[He laughs again and waves his hand at Maglor's snout.]

Hey, quit it! I'm already gonna have to stand in the waterfall for an hour if I wanna get clean!

[bythewaves]

[ That jaw opens in a doggy grin, and Junior is going to be dragged by the sleeve in the direction of the waterfall.

You want to get wet? Let's do this ]

[carries_war]

[Ack, no! He digs his heels into the floor, bracing against a corpse if need be.]

Oh no you don't! It's not bath time yet! Besides, if you dragged me there, we'd both end up smelling like wet dog!

[bythewaves]

[ The wolf makes a low noise that is far too much like a laugh, and promptly licks him again, making his hair stand up.

As far as he's concerned, Junior already smells like wet dog ]

[carries_war]

Augh! Quit it, you're making me look ridiculous!

[Attempting to smooth his hair back down. Ugh, yuck.]

[bythewaves]

[ That is rather the point, yes!

The wolf is still laughing at you, Junior ]

[carries_war]

Alright, you asked for it!

[Let's see how you like it when he tries sticking your fur all on end, huh?]

[bythewaves]

[ He has a lot more fur that Junior has hair, and Maglor whuffs at him playfully and wriggles free, circling just out of arms reach ]

[carries_war]

Get back here, you!

[He's not above chasing you, Maglor.]

[bythewaves]

[ Mission success: pup is playing.

Maglor yips at him playfully and dances back, just out of reach ]

[carries_war]

[Not a difficult mission, considering he's in a good mood right now. Continuing to chase.]

You can't keep away forever, you know!

[bythewaves]

[ Maglor chuffs at him.

Wanna bet ]

[carries_war]

If I had my full speed, I'd have already caught you by now!

[Chaaaaaase!]

[bythewaves]

[ Quite probably, but he doesn't, and Maglor only yips at him happily and runs, always just out of reach ]

[carries_war]

[It's a big room, but you've gotta turn at some point, right? Let's see how you react when he tries to cut you off!]

[bythewaves]

[ The wolf crouches in the corner, tongue out and tail wagging happily, growling at Junior playfully ]

[carries_war]

Yeah, I've got you now!

[POUNCE!]

[bythewaves]

[ Maglor promptly rolls over, letting Junior grapple with him ]
