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.

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

What're taking notes on now?

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. ]

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

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. ]

I mean, it can be just about anything, right? There's a lot to think about there.

[ the possibilities are endless and it's a little overwhelming. ]

[ ... ]

Like your x-day? [ he will just say it. ]

[ blinks. ]

Yeah, I guess so...

[ he's so used to not being able to do anything about adonis that maybe it didn't even occur to him just yet. ]

[ ain't that a mood. ]

...it's weird to think about when it's been a problem for so long, right? [ there is a reason he is also struggling with his own wish. ] But in theory it's not like you have to make the wish right away.

Yeah. It's been almost a year of it by now.

[ especially after the eudora... eleven months of waiting for x-day to come. ]

I'll think about it. I'm not leaving right away, anyway.

Yeah, that makes two of us. [ two of them who can sit and think about their problems and the way a wish can change everything. ] I have decisions to make still, and...I should probably wait for Mizuki before I take off anyway. Time's still stopped.

I just want to make sure I talk to everyone I want before I run off.

Still trippy how that works, isn't it? [ it's SO sci-fi it still blows his mind a little. now he has a stake in a spaceship? the fuck? imagine explaining this back home. ] But it's nice that we don't have to worry about explaining where we've been for two months.

Definitely. [ both to wanting to talk to people and to how weird time is right now. and how...everything is. it's weird! it's weird. ] I'm still trying to wrap my head around it all and I'm starting to think it's maybe safer to just not. It helps that we don't have to explain everything, but...that's another decision I'm trying to make, too. If I use my wish, I'm going to have to come up with some explanation to how and why things worked the way they did.

Couldn't you make that part of the wish - that no one questions it? It'd give you a lot less to worry about.

...I...did not actually think about that. [ lmao wow. that is such an obvious solution and he truly just. bypassed it. ]

[ these idiots are really both out here pointing out the obvious to each other ]

I can't promise it'd work that easily, obviously, but it's worth a shot, isn't it? You could just consider an explanation a backup plan in case it doesn't work.

[ typical teen behavior yeah. ]

Yeah, that makes enough sense. On the one hand, she'd probably freak out about everything that's happened. On the other...I'd have to explain way too many things about aliens that I never fully prepared for. So I guess it's deciding which is the lesser of two evils.

Yeah, I've been thinking about that, too... I'm not sure if it's worth the trouble to try to explain, honestly.

[ at least with ichika? he'd sound insane. ]

Maybe she wouldn't take it so badly, knowing that you're, like... actually okay.

[ at least physically because lmao. ]

[ the difference being there are definitely things and people who'd want to know about the space part and be excited to learn and he does not want to go into it. but there's a wry smile. ]

That's true. Besides, I think...she has a lot on her plate right now so anything to lessen that's probably my best option. [ he'd never think that amame wouldn't care, but there is a lot happening here. ] I don't mind lying a little for peace of mind.

I know how that is...

[ older sisters smh ]

You'll have Date to back whatever story you go with, too. I think you'll be fine. It'll be easy enough to lie about where you've met most of us, too.

[ except for, like, the giant shark man, maybe, but would he even want to go to tokyo, ]

[ there's, like, the briefest moment where he really goes "what?" before realizing kazuki means mizuki and so he nods. ]

Yeah, I guess that's a fair point. I should probably talk to her and figure out our cover story to make sure it's the same regardless if we go with the truth or not. The pros and cons of having someone here for the last eight weeks.
