THANKS FOR THE MEMORIES
even if they weren't so great.Some theoretical five years into the future, BREW's wish has been granted. Your character has evolved into what you'd planned for them, they've made the CR you've wanted them to make, and now, the war is over. To express their gratitude, Shibusen has one last surprise for their guests: the

LEAVING

[wiredgod]

[Well, it was. kind of odd. She was 19 now, nearly fully grown; still with the split personalities and the one lock of hair longer than the rest.

She was--apprehensive, for lack of a better word. Neji had promised to take her back to his world, that world of Ninjas; he'd follow through right?

So she waits, anxiously twisting her hands and looking for the friends she'd made, to say good-bye. But hey: She was God. Maybe she could--somehow--use that to her advantage and maybe--maybe-- this wouldn't really be the last time she saw them, if she was lucky]

[heavenly_earth]

Lain! [As familiar with her soul as he's become, it takes less thought to find her than it does to walk home and he reaches out to take hold of nervous hands

At 22, he's gotten a little taller, hair longer, and finally managed to attain something of a tan after 5 years in the desert]

I told you, you're coming home with us. I'm not leaving you to that desolate world. We'll amend our wish separately if we have to; Shibusen owes us that much.

[wiredgod]

[She reaches for his hands automatically, her entire body starting to tremble]

I've made... a lot of important connections with people. Connections I never want to lose.

Even if I went back to my own world.. I am God. And I'd find a way to get back to you--to everyone, no matter what. I have the power to do that.

...But I hope I can go with you. You, and the others... are my most precious bonds.

[heavenly_earth]

I know. [It's said quietly, gently, pulling her in with one arm and resting his head on top of hers, peering out to that endless desert.]

Life in Konoha is difficult, and my clan in particular is... complicated, but I think you'll happier there with us. Bold wanted to become a shinobi, didn't she? You've both learned a lot from us in our time here and I'm confident that even if you don't develop a chakra system that you'd be successful if you endeavored to take that route. Lee is proof enough of that.

LEAVING

Gai's made a great many relationships and friends, none of which he wants to lose.

But at the end of the day, Gai is a ninja. He's dedicated to Konohagakure. They're in the middle of a war and his duty is to be there, fighting for them, giving of himself to the best of his abilities. This is what he gave his word to do. To do otherwise would be to become a missing-nin and betray the village that trained and trusted in him.

It's not that it's an easy choice. There's nothing easy about it. But there's no choice to it, either, in his mind.]

[wiredgod]

Gai-sama...

[She might be leaving with them, if everything goes as planned, because Neji and Lee and Gaara had all promised to do everything in their power to take her back home with them, so she didn't have to return to her own world where she had nothing and no one.

Still, if she doesn't get that chance, she'd like to see Gai before they all leave. But she doesn't even know what to begin to say]

[spandexisyouth]

Lain. I believe the plan is for you to come as well? I am glad that you are coming, but... you should be aware that it is very dangerous. Our entire village has been destroyed once.

[The last of his things are now tidy. Gai's looking at the apartment, taking in where he's lived for five years.

He turns and smiles at her.]

We will often be on missions. And there is no telling if we will remember; I gather that returned people have not before. But I know that some of us are easy to befriend again if you manage to remember to try.

[wiredgod]

[She smiles back, slow but with an ease she didn't have 5 years ago and shakes her head]

It doesn't matter if you don't remember me here, [She points to her head] Because... you'll still remember me here. [She points to her heart] The connections we've made with each other won't let us forget how important we are to each other.

That's the power of a connection like friendship.

And I... We, the three of us, will train hard. We want to help, even if the offer comes a little late.

STAYING

[cursed_tattoo]

[There was nothing left for her in her own world now, except the possibility of death (a possibility much closer to her at home than it was here) and suffering with having to relive the loss of Miku and Kei and Yuu all over again.

Her life was here now, with her art gallery and her photography classes. She still had kids to look after, surely, and they needed her as much as she needed them.

But she's there to say good-bye to her friends who might be leaving, trying to be strong. She's 28 now, and still the city's MILF, I"m sure.]

[hatedriven]

[they haven't discussed, it and that's half the reason he hesitates. near the back of the room, dark eyes on the back of her head.]

[cursed_tattoo]

[She rubs along her arm, bowing her head slightly to hide her face as she wipes away at the tears that begin to form.

There's a pinprick sensation behind her, and she turns, searching-- and finds Sasuke. For a moment her heart stops--he can't be--

...She raises a hand and gently beacons for him to come to her]

[hatedriven]

[his outfit might be telling enough. it isn't something he ever wore in his own world- something that's been tailored for this place. but when she beckons, he comes without hesitation- walking up next to her and watching her face for any betrayal of what she might be thinking.]

STAYING

[daddyscythe]

[Spirit knows these people have to leave, and he's grateful to everyone. But it's sad, anyway, seeing comrades go.]

Don't-- Don't forget us! [Even though he knows they probably will. That's just what the BREW does.]

brb legit crying i don't even

[wiredgod]

[It's not even Bold--though this is a very Bold thing to do-- but Normal who flies at Spirit and throws her arms around him, nearly body-slamming him]

Spirit-sama!

Hahaha

[daddyscythe]

[He catches her! And squeezes, because oh, this is really just so sad. She's gotten bigger in the past five years...]

You'll be a good girl, right? All of you?

[wiredgod]

[She buries her face against his chest, shoulders shaking as she tries to get a hold of herself.

After a moment she pulls back, smiling through her tears]

Of course. All of us... We'll miss you, I..

Spirit-sama... Thank you so much. For everything, I... We'll miss you terribly.

STAYING

[hatedriven]

[when the option came, as it inevitably would, he knew what would happen. he knew what his decision would be. just as he also knew, there were those leaving that he needed to see. Sasuke was 23 now. he wasn't sure when he'd decided this place needed him more.

and so he donned his altered Shibusen attire, their emblem on his left shoulder and the Uchiha crest on the right, squared the multi-sword scabbard across the low of his back and started down the street.]

at least now sasuke's legal? priorities: i has them

[cursed_tattoo]

Sasuke. [Rei is staying, as if that's any surprise--and she'll admit she's happy to see Sasuke's staying too.]

...Let's light some lanterns later, shall we? For everyone leaving.

HAHAHA LJASDL also this is after that thread up there ^

[hatedriven]

[he looks at her for a long moment, then back at the crowd of people.]

They aren't dying.

SOUNDS GOOD

[cursed_tattoo]

[She moves besides him, slipping an arm around him and giving him a little squeeze]

I know. But it'd be a nice gesture, I think. They're still leaving this world.
