Epilogue: A New Day

In the end, hope triumphed over hate. A new pantheon of gods, gathered from all corners of the universe, came together to unlock the ultimate power and it it flow over the land once more. They proved one goddess that her wisdom was correct, and another that her wisdom was keeping her trapped in a vision of the world that would never be.

You exit the temple of Olympus, battered and bruised, but more together than ever before. Athena raises her hand and drags it before her. In the distance, the keen-eyed will see the barrier that's long protected you finally fading away.

The sun shines down. Two months and you're finally, finally free.

Athena takes care to thank each of you personally. This was exactly what her and Fenyx had theorized was possible - not exactly, but the outcome is greatly acceptable. And now, Athena is bound by her oath to return you home... or wherever it is you'd like to go. You're gods now, you have the privilege.

Speaking of! Once everyone's rested and healed, Fenyx prepared a little get-together for everyone on the cliffs, with a special bonus: they can bring in any person you desire. Family and friends are preferable, but who are they to question if you want to smack your rival across the face for the first time in weeks?

They may react in confusion, however, if you tell them about the bits of Hope buzzing in the air like glowing fireflies. They're not gods, after all. They can't see them.

Dipping lower around half-day, you may peer over the side of the area and see far, far down into the valleys of ocean and cities. And beyond all of that, sailing in from the horizon, ships. Old ships of man-made nature. Sails billowing in a wind that no longer tears them asunder. Now that the storm has passed, life can resume picking up the pieces.

It will be messy, probably a disaster at times, but there's always hope. And if that carried you here, then maybe it will bring those people to the top of the mountain.

[This is the final post of Let's Play A Murder! Players are welcome to invite cast members to this log for the purpose of tagging out reunions (Fenyx and Athena will have personally greeted and asked to bring them here). You may tag this at your leisure, whatever last-minute endeavors you'd like your characters to get into will go here.

Thank you for playing.

So you're the famous Shadow, huh.

[Unless the name's really ironic or something.]

Something about being Omega's best friend, one of the only warriors he respects?
chaoscontrol: (completely seen by batman)

Hmph. The one and only.

[best friend...? Omega must have really been through some things if he was using that word. That, or his circuits must have been scrambled]

We are allies, yes. Who are you?
sweetsynergy: (B)

[personal profile] sweetsynergy 2025-09-02 01:17 am (UTC)(link)
Vanity. Goddess of Copyright.

[Normal things to say, you know.]

[She folds her arms, watching Shadow and his reactions.]


Guess you'd say we're allies too. Kicked a titan's giant flaming asshole together.
chaoscontrol: (tch. not a problem for the ulti--)

[he squints. Copyright? Seems like a dumb thing to be a goddess of. He doesn't say anything aloud, but his expression isn't impressed. But then again, this guy doesn't look like he's ever impressed. Or ever has an expression besides "sullen and grouchy".

He nods, seemingly unsurprised by this information

I expect nothing less from Omega. When he sets his mind to destroying something, few can stand in his way.

[look, you're right, she agrees, but she's also not gonna admit it out loud]

Few walls, too.

[Just a second's glance towards the temple.]

Spoke pretty highly of you, when it came up.
chaoscontrol: (yet I remain alone)

[personal profile] chaoscontrol 2025-09-02 03:22 am (UTC)(link)
[well, we can't all be winners in the cosmic lottery]

Only highly reinforced steel and concrete. [he looks back up at the temple, as well. It looks... remarkably intact] I'm surprised anything is left standing. [he looks back at Vanity] ... Hmph. We've worked together for a long time.

[Between the reinforced architecture and Omega, Vanity's still pretty sure she knows where her bet's going. Which is not a thing she'll ever breath a word of to Omega or Shadow.]

So has he always been like this or is what we got him AFTER being socialized.
chaoscontrol: (hmph. resilient.)

He's... certainly changed since he arrived here. The Omega I remember wouldn't so freely use the word "friend" -- he would not admit to having any. [it makes him a bit worried, actually... about how intense the pear wiggler happenings here were for him to change so much so quickly] But if you mean "shoot, maim, and incinerate first, ask questions never", then yes. He was made that way.
