WEEK 7: FAREWELL!

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.

[ what is this 'fanfic' you speak of? could it take up many hours in his day? ]

Oo, I don't know. I'm not much of a storyteller. I'd sacrifice a good plot for a happy ending.
uncoincidental: (045)

[personal profile] uncoincidental 2024-04-21 10:44 pm (UTC)(link)
Maybe the world could use more happy endings!
murdergate: (im trying im trying)

[personal profile] murdergate 2024-04-21 10:46 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, true, but one person's happy ending could be another's tragedy. We can't all get what we want--two people can't have the pheasant if there's only one prepared, you know? It's why I don't know what to do with this whole 'wish' thing.
uncoincidental: (012)

[personal profile] uncoincidental 2024-04-21 10:47 pm (UTC)(link)
Couldn't they just split the pheasant in half and load up on side dishes?

[she tilts her head to one side]

...what are you considering for your wish?
murdergate: (one)

[personal profile] murdergate 2024-04-21 10:51 pm (UTC)(link)
Hm. That's where I draw a blank, kid. None of my wishes fit the perimeters but I also can't give it away to someone that could use two wishes. Maybe it won't count as non-personal if I spend it on something for Bongy.

[ bongy deserves a wish ]
uncoincidental: (084)

[personal profile] uncoincidental 2024-04-21 10:55 pm (UTC)(link)
What are your wishes, though? Maybe if we put our heads together we can tweak them in a way to get you something you'd like that works.

...but if wishing for something for Bongy would really make you happy, that would probably also count as a personal wish?
murdergate: (pic#17054862)

[personal profile] murdergate 2024-04-21 10:59 pm (UTC)(link)
Hmmm.

[ what does nodd have to bother being secretive for? unlocks already happened. ]

I'd want to start this adventure again, knowing what I know now. I'd want to un-say some stuff. I'd want to be twenty years younger. I would want to be... better at computers. But those are all retrospective. Not possible for a wish to fix. A Bongy playpen room on the ship is more manageable.
uncoincidental: (012)

[personal profile] uncoincidental 2024-04-21 11:01 pm (UTC)(link)
...I think the wish could make you physically twenty years younger, actually?

[he could do that. unless that would somehow be catastrophically destructive.]

But you could definitely spin a playpen like that as something for you. You could use it whenever you came back to the Eudora, right?
murdergate: (let's go)

[personal profile] murdergate 2024-04-21 11:04 pm (UTC)(link)
[ ok that makes him laugh a little ]

Physically is fine. I think I got a bit set in certain ways. I forgot how to deal with people during my time in the Spires. I'd have wanted to approach things different.

[ he does not need to actually be a kid, he's good on that ]

True. I haven't even decided if I'm leaving, either. [ this is before his other prompt. ] Could immediately be of use.
uncoincidental: (018)

[personal profile] uncoincidental 2024-04-21 11:07 pm (UTC)(link)
...whatever choice you do end up making, there are countless places you could go. The entire universe is yours to pick from, isn't it?

[she smiles.]

But maybe the Eudora will be nicer to stay on now that things are more fixed up. And you'd get to see people coming and going if they went to visit other worlds, too.
murdergate: (let's go)

[personal profile] murdergate 2024-04-21 11:18 pm (UTC)(link)
Ahhh, spoilt for choice! The worst!

[ dramatic stapling of back of hand to his forehead. woe is he, etc. etc. so many worlds. so many blond men yet undiscovered. ]

Will you be coming and going?
uncoincidental: (118)

[personal profile] uncoincidental 2024-04-21 11:22 pm (UTC)(link)
[she giggles at the damatic hand to the forehead. nodd, your blond men...]

...I think so, yes. I'm not ready to say my goodbyes to everyone here, and there are so many places I've never seen that I want to explore.
murdergate: (pic#17103660)

[personal profile] murdergate 2024-04-22 12:30 am (UTC)(link)
[ nod(d)s. good. cool. he wants to see sheba again so that's nice to hear as a possibility. ]

Are you going back to anything rough?
uncoincidental: (Default)

[personal profile] uncoincidental 2024-04-22 01:22 am (UTC)(link)
Mm... I guess you could call it rough. The worst of it is over, but there's still some things to sort through.
