WEEK 7: FAREWELL!

[dropoffs]

GOLDEN END     47 CREW ACTIVE

The remnants of stellar alchemy, stirring into life.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE

Welcome to the CSS Eudora… your tour is over, and the rest of your journey is set to begin. As you awaken, you will notice that there is a lulling sense of peace aboard the ship, and the world around you is silent save for the soft humming of the generators and propulsion system, the air circulating in gentle puffs from the ventilation (cool, a refreshing change from the past seven weeks). As you rise, you will notice that the Eudora has changed around you.

And it has changed for the better.

The halls are well-lit and clean, the lights no longer flickering or are on the verge of dim. The Eudora has taken on a warm, welcoming glow like a candle’s flame illuminating the dark. Nothing will force you anywhere today - and the Eudora's warm voice will greet you by name today, ask you how are you are feeling today, with every cup of coffee or tea, with every need gently perceived. She's returned to her old self, her voice is brighter, warmer, and she revels in once more having a full crew.

A notification coming from your I.R.I.S. indicates that, in having cleaned up the ship, freeing her from infection, some locations have been replaced with a new ones, as if the Eudora herself had a feeling that you might be needing this. The tour is all completed, now, and this has become your central hub for the worlds available to you. The Eudora knows just as well as you do that it’s time to go home, after all, which is why there's an encouraging warmly-lit path on the ground, and a directional indicator on your I.R.I.S. to show you the way towards this new location.

 

The endgame world-hopping mechanism! At the very end, upon achieving Golden End, players will be called to one room on board the revived Eudora (after her baptism by fire via explosion), replacing the eerie Meat Locker and Machine on the concourse. This room is enormous with screens around the entirety in 360 degrees. Various views of worlds flicker in and out, some very familiar, and others not so much. The console in the center controls several teleportation pads that are inter-dimensional and reach far and wide thanks to the Eudora's rebirth. All one needs to do is program the desired location into the console and step into the corresponding transportation pad.

All character return times are currently paused at the moment of your characters' canon points, and can be rewound by 10 minutes max. They will remain paused at this time, even if you go worldhopping elsewhere first - you need only return to the Eudora to access it! If you would rather go to another world, you're permitted to do so. If you would rather go with a castmate to a different time point (since theirs will show as different from yours!), you can do this instead. (Whether you replace that version of yourself or there are now two of you is up to you and your PSL gods.)

As members of the Junior Crew of the Eudora, while your nanites have largely worn off, the Eudora will always remember you. You will find that your I.R.I.S. still functions, with but a flick of the wrist. No matter where you are, you can now cross-dimension, cross-galactic communicate with one another. And play your various games.

There's also an app labeled Lyft Off, which will allow you to be beamed up to the Eudora at any time from wherever you are in whichever galaxy you're activating it from at the time. Feel free to make the Eudora a central hub for constant travel, and utilize her resources as desired - the food, the clothes, the equipment and library for research... it's all available for you, for as long as you need it!

Hello, Junior Crew, and welcome to your hard-earned Golden End. Here are a few things to close you out:

🪐 Characters will be compensated greatly by Nut & Bolt Co. with the original stipend dictated on your "contracts." You will find that the exorbitent sum of the pay, including emotional damages and reparations has been transferred to an easy-to-carry card that will transform into your world's currency once you are home. You can utilize your I.R.I.S. to treat it as a bank of sorts and easily remove or just carry your cash on that card (so you can utilize it in other worlds!)

🪐 You may also find an app on your I.R.I.S. entitled Thank You. You get the distinct feeling that this is from your ghostly friends who'd been trapped in the Helly Belly all this time, the old crew of the Eudora bidding you farewell, and the spirits of those you freed in destroying the planet. Characters will know intrinsically that this will allow them to be granted one wish of their choosing, however they cannot trade this wish away and can only utilize it for themselves. This wish also cannot affect anyone else on board the Eudora, nor can it be catastrophically destructive. It must be used for personal means.

🪐 Characters are free to return to their original worlds, or they may go to another world of their choosing, or you can choose to stay aboard the Eudora, we won't stop you, and she's fully equipped to sustain herself for a long, long... long, long time.
🪐 You are free to keep your I.R.I.S. and all the apps that come with that in order to remain in contact with one another.
🪐 World-hopping is always an option here thanks to the new teleportation room, so if you're ever missing a friend, why not hop on over to say hello?
🪐 Audiences are open for one more day if you have anything else you'd like from your Senior Crew.
🪐 Your PC directory is located over here.
🪐 Your final CR chart is here.
🪐 We have a feedback post here, TL;CR post here and a friending/love meme here.

Thank you so much, everyone, for playing in our little game! We hope you all had fun, and we look forward to hanging out in the server with you until next time! See ya later, space cowboys.

[solesuccess]

[ you ever end up getting so much more than you expected after two months of absolute hell that it overwhelms you to the point you're just sitting on the ground going "WHAT"


that's shoma. he is sitting outside of the transporter room on the floor and seems to be...writing a list on his iris? there is probably a better place for this, and yet for anyone who approaches the transporter/teleporter/whatever room to leave he'll at least look up with a slight grin. ]

So. Guess this is it for us for now. Where do you want to go first?

[naeddre]

[GRABS YOU BY THE SKULL no she's nice.

she comes over to crouch in front of him, grinning a little.]

I thought I'd come tell you I told you so. [OKAY NOT THAT NICE]

[solesuccess]

[ no, no, she should grab him by the head that's legit. but she's on the ground and he very maturely sticks his tongue out. nyeh. ]

Oh, is that what this is? How thoughtful of you. [ lmao. ] ...I will accept being wrong just this once.

[naeddre]

Just once... how generous.

[ruffles his hair.]

... What's next, then?

[solesuccess]

[ hehe. allowing this as usual. ]

Well...I'm figuring out what to do with the stipend. Not to mention trying to figure out the wish thing. That...that was a surprise.

[teenrebellion]

[ not yet he's gotta be nosy first. ]

What're taking notes on now?

[solesuccess]

Budgeting, mostly. [ he. really does flip his screen around so kazuki can see a breakdown of tuition costs, housing costs, utilities costs, groceries, etc. there's a separate list of what are apparently things that need to be upgraded in his house. a list for money to set aside. etc. ] But maybe a pros and cons list for that wish we're getting, too.

[ that is a separate list, given there's a tab on the screen for shoma to swap back to it whenever. ]

[teenrebellion]

Ah. [ he nods. this makes sense. ] That's a good idea, actually. I'm still trying to figure out what to use that for.

[solesuccess]

No ideas so far? [ he is genuinely curious because...well they are literally from normal japan, wishes are not exactly real or abundant in nature there. ]

[sexyasmieu]

I'm going home, naturally! I've got loooots of work to do.

[ peeking at his budget from where she is also writing a budget lmao. ]

Oh, but don't worry! I'm totally going to make time to visit.

[solesuccess]

That doesn't surprise me in the slightest. [ he knows anise has important things to do, so he would've been more shocked if she bounced to go elsewhere. really glad they're both coming into huge amounts of cash and decided to immediately start portioning it out, good for them. ]

But you better. Even if it's just coming back to this place and seeing people for a little while, that's better than nothing. This did just open up a ton of vacation options though.

[artificialsweetener]

[Reaching down to RUFFLE HIS HAIR one last time for the road.]

No changes in my plans. What about you?

[solesuccess]

[ hehe. allows the ruffling...but he hums. ]

I'm still going home, but it's figuring out what to do when I get there that I'm stuck on.

[artificialsweetener]

[Plops down next to him after he's done with his ruffling.]

Ten minutes isn't the biggest window of wiggle room. What are you trying to decide between?

[drymonster]

Just going home for now. [ holds up his card ] Gotta rub this in some shitty NEETs' faces.

[ ...but mostly he just misses everyone there a lot. ]

[solesuccess]

[ help. he can't help but laugh because that's definitely a way to do it. ]

What're you gonna tell 'em when they ask where it came from?

[drymonster]

Exactly what happened so they know why I deserve to keep it for myself!

[ minus the embarrassing parts. ]

Anyway, it's not the weirdest thing that's ever happened to one of us.

[murdergate]

[ yay we're sitting on the floor. nodd joins. ]

I think we should find another mushroom planet. A cute one. They aren't all fleshy and bad.

[solesuccess]

Like a detour? [ hum. ] What would you consider a cute mushroom planet anyway?

[murdergate]

[ just some fun times with some fungis! ]

One where they're not infected and need obliteration. If there's one gross mushroom planet out in the infinite universe, there has to be a cool one. That's... math.

[polliwog]

[ he has to plop down and also lean in to even get a glimpse of what he's writing, but also hi. ]

Home! But now that we know for sure, I'll be very cross if you don't visit me, Shoma.

[ no he would just be annoying and text him ]

[solesuccess]

[ don't mind him, he's shifting to lean against sidon a little. hewwo. enjoy looking at what looks like a budget list where he's sorting money into categories for home, essentials, college tuition, etc. there's also a tab for what looks like some kind of pros and cons list. ]

Well I'd hate to make you mad, so obviously I'll come. [ he's playing along, but also he is in fact planning to visit later. ] Tell me when it's convenient and I'll come by.

[polliwog]

[ he gladly accepts this little weight, looking over how organized he is with a smile. ]

Once we clear up a few things [ world ending threats ] I'll be sure to invite you right over!

Have you decided what you're doing?

[messy]

[she plops down on the ground next to him and tries to take a look at his iris.]

Definitely home! I gotta catch Ivy up so she doesn't totally freak out when she sees the new look. [the metal arm and bionic eye are still here as per mod decree.] But, hey, it looks like money isn't gonna be an issue for you anymore.

[solesuccess]

[ hi harley! she may see he is making a budget? or at least categorizing amounts for things such as his house, essentials, college tuition, a line item that just says "amame", etc. there's also a separate tab that looks like it leads to a pros and cons list. ]

Are you thinking about getting them healed up eventually? [ he says, still holding onto a fake eye of his own. but there's a little grin. ] The stipend's really, really gonna help. I'm trying to figure out how to make it last the longest.
