[Final Day] Endgame

[arsgoetia]

There is a noise like broken glass as the giant shadowy snake wavers in place, then falls over, hitting the roof so hard that dust billows up on on various levels of existence, making the whole building shake. You begin to see more people all around you—flickering, as if the layers are merging into one, the separations between them vanishing.

Superimposed over the snake's fading body—yes, there is, in fact, a giant shadow snake, visible to everyone now, even those who had just been fighting Mithos—is a man in a labcoat bending over on his knees, shuddering and grasping at the ground.

"Sssssss . . . thissssss . . ."

He jerks abruptly, then sags a little more, as if losing energy, trying to force his eyes to stay open, but . . .

[HITTING 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 okay only once or twice I guess. Probably. …maybe a few more than that.]

[arsgoetia]

The perfectly normal elevator opens up for you.

[yessssssss can I ride down to the third floor and barge in on Sitara's room. *__*]

[arsgoetia]

There are . . . already people in there! Possibly her mom and dad. And they, and Sitara, both look up in surprise when you barge in.

"Who are you?" the woman asks in shock.

"Holy shit!" Sitara claps her hands together.

". . . LANGUAGE."

Whoa, you're awake! [takes a deep breath and lets it out and kind of sags.] I was real worried.

[arsgoetia]

"Is this a friend of yours, Sitara?" Sitara's mom asks, a little cross, still. "She should have knocked . . ."

Sitara looks a little close to tears, ignoring her parents entirely. "Are you okay?" she asks Hermana. "Is everything okay?"

[probably looks a little messed up what with the bloody shirt, but. inches closer, eying Sitara's parents a little warily.] Yeah, everyone's fine. Umm… everythin's back to normal, prob'ly, it's okay.

[arsgoetia]

Sitara's gaze flickers down to Hermana's shirt, then back up to her face. Then she smiles shakily.

"I'm really happy."

[takesthebacon.livejournal.com]

[still eying Sitara's parents a little, but reaches out for her hand…]

I still don't really get what happened or nothin'. I just wanted to make sure you were okay. I'm real sorry.

[arsgoetia]

Sitara's dad makes a move as if to stop her, but Sitara makes a very huffy noise and reaches for Hermana, grabbing her hand firmly.

"You don't have to apologize for anything!"

[eventually... heading down too...]

[takesthebacon.livejournal.com]

[flopped by the side of her bed.] Flame, Flame, she's okay.

[onyxsilver.livejournal.com]

I can see that.

[takesthebacon.livejournal.com]

I'm real glad…

[onyxsilver.livejournal.com]

... yeah. Me too.

[arsgoetia]

Her parents at this point have headed out because she's insisted she wants mcdonalds's.

"You're okay too!"

[onyxsilver.livejournal.com]

Yeah, it seems like everyone's fine.

[arsgoetia]

"Well, awesome. Sorry my drawing sucks."

[onyxsilver.livejournal.com]

No, in retrospect it made perfect sense.

[demonderpitydoo.livejournal.com]

[coming down to see Sitara too]

[arsgoetia]

"Hey!" She lifts a hand. Her parents at this point have gone to get her refreshments.

[demonderpitydoo.livejournal.com]

Did you just wake up?

[arsgoetia]

"Yeah," she says. "They called my parents right away."

[demonderpitydoo.livejournal.com]

[settles himself on a chair]

We found that doctor. He won't be bothering anyone here anymore, I'm pretty sure.

[arsgoetia]

"Hah! You got him?"
