[Final Day] Endgame

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 . . ."

[aww, sleeping. not going to wake him up; going to leave a note explaining what happened (ish?) and that they're okay and thank him for his help.]

[waking up anyway while you're writing that, probably]

Robin—?
troublebrewing: (first double cross her heart.)

Ah--sorry if I woke you.
boatsights: (uncertain)

[personal profile] boatsights 2011-09-06 05:45 am (UTC)(link)
No, it's okay.
troublebrewing: (burn my dread.)

[personal profile] troublebrewing 2011-09-06 05:46 am (UTC)(link)
It's--he's gone. The snake doctor. I think, anyway.
boatsights: (unsure)

[personal profile] boatsights 2011-09-06 05:46 am (UTC)(link)
Everyone's—okay?
troublebrewing: (she's liable to grow up mean.)

[personal profile] troublebrewing 2011-09-06 05:47 am (UTC)(link)
There are... some injuries, but overall I think everyone will be fine.

[smiles]

David's saying we're all going to talk out what happened... I still feel confused--but relieved.
boatsights: (determined)

[personal profile] boatsights 2011-09-06 07:26 am (UTC)(link)
. . . mm. We'll figure it out now that everyone is okay.
troublebrewing: (hey! ..... sup.)

[personal profile] troublebrewing 2011-09-06 07:27 am (UTC)(link)
The snake doctor... do we know who he was, really?
boatsights: (uncertain)

[personal profile] boatsights 2011-09-06 07:31 am (UTC)(link)
I don't know . . .
troublebrewing: (burn my dread.)

[personal profile] troublebrewing 2011-09-06 07:32 am (UTC)(link)
Can you sense anything here, anymore?
boatsights: (sighing)

[personal profile] boatsights 2011-09-06 07:36 am (UTC)(link)
No. It's fine.
troublebrewing: (a bee-keeper keeps bees.)

That's good. I'd like to visit the children who helped us, but I have a feeling security won't like that...

May I ask you something?
troublebrewing: (burn my dread.)

[personal profile] troublebrewing 2011-09-06 07:40 am (UTC)(link)
Your last name is... Islington?
boatsights: (calm)

[personal profile] boatsights 2011-09-06 07:44 am (UTC)(link)
No. It's Sharp. Islington is an alias . . . it was the name of the dorm at my school, do you remember?
troublebrewing: (in this belly of a whale.)

[personal profile] troublebrewing 2011-09-06 05:52 pm (UTC)(link)
Yes, I did... that's why I was confused.
