The Principal's Tower, Sunday Around Noon

[endsthegame]

Their efforts against the monsters yesterday had had a real effect. There was nothing left to do for now besides find the monster that lived in the principal's tower-- perhaps with her death, something would change.

And so, a small group assembled on Sunday morning to make that a reality.

Immediately Afterwards

In case our fighters have a few last words before they leave the tower.

Shortly Afterwards

The chance wasn't immediate. The island did not simply heal itself or flash itself somewhere else.

Instead, it began to flicker anew. In small pulses, much like it had on Wednesday: a sliver of an intact wall here, a warm bed there, fridges filling up and then immediately emptying again.

This time, it only took an hour or three for the full change to settle in. At around dinner time, the walls between two planes came down anew, separating one group of Fandomites from the other.

Just before the present's Fandom folk made it over, they might have been able to catch a sight of a fog lifting.

[[ and lo, everything is back to normal for our regular characters. ]]

Once it became clear that the worlds were separating back out, Eliot set off around the town at a job. Who knew how long the connection would hold?

He had a Kathy to find.

"Eli--t!" Kathy's voice cut out halfway through his name, but she was there, across the street, waving.

"Kathy!" Eliot hurried over. There was something different about her. It took him a moment to identify it.

Her face had lost some of the haggard look. The one that came from constant pain.

"Darlin'," he said, and moved to put his arms around her. "You're okay."

In The Other Fandom

Dante watched it all happen from the top of a warehouse: the flickers, changing the world around them, taking away their visitors in flashes of a few minutes at a time, then more.

He sighed.

He sighed slightly less loudly as he realized they were not taking the sun with them; as he watched the fog pull away to reveal the ravaged world around them. Here and there, an inquisitive hollow staggered along the causeway. It hadn't healed.

"Well, something's definitely changing," he murmured, watching Limbo empty slowly, like an hourglass, as if the spirits of their dead had been as trapped as they were. "I wonder what comes next."

[[ feel free to use this thread to establish your AU characters' reactions, if need be. hollows and monsters aren't healed, and the rest of the world is as much of a mess as the island, but the road is open. ]]

"Same thing that always does," Kathy said quietly. "We try to survive. Odds are a little better than they were before, but nothing's guaranteed."

Re: In The Other Fandom

[rebelscreams]

"One thing's for sure," Dante said, looking away from the skyline and back to her, "I am really fucking sick of being on this island."

Re: In The Other Fandom

[godilovedthis]

"Got plans to leave?" she asked. "Off to Limbo City or whatever?"

She kept her voice cool. Casual. If he wanted to go, he'd go. End of story. Everything that happened between them this morning--between all of them--wasn't a guarantee of anything more, after all.
