POST-GAME IRL PARTY LOG
Who: All the living players
What: Reunion party
When: Post-game
Where: ?
Warnings: none for now
[ It has been several months since the incident. Recovering from your body being in disuse for around two months must have been hefty, as well as your other commitments as well. Hopefully, everyone has recovered to an extent, because no matter where you are, the living players will receive the following in their mailbox: an invitation to a reunion party at a location near the beach between the ex-beta testers of Fragment, a bank card, and a 4-digit pin to said card from "Oriade". The invitation card will mention the following:
Being rich has its benefits, surely. When the plane lands with their luggage and all (if you brought any. please bring some), they'll be taken to a house that doesn't seem like much, but once they walk inside, it is actually very big! There are numerous rooms inside the house. The kitchen is stocked with everything you can think of with some dude(?) preparing all the food (he's the chef. don't worry about him). There is sure to be loads of different kinds of food that can cater to everyone's tastes. Yes, there is alcohol. Get some free rich ass liquor. No, you cannot smuggle any. That dude(?) will be keeping tabs. Sometimes there's a maid or two(? or is that the same one) running around and cleaning up after everyone. If you want something, go get it yourself. Self-service only.
There's a walkway in the backyard that's also wheelchair-accessible that leads to the beach! Enjoy that too.
But for the main attraction, the server burning. ]

Hopefully, everyone has recovered to an extent, because no matter where you are, the living players will receive the following in their mailbox: an invitation to a reunion party at a location near the beach between the ex-beta testers of Fragment, a bank card, and a 4-digit pin to said card from "Oriade". The invitation card will mention the following:
- A very convenient location nearby you with access to a small, private plane. For security purposes, you'll be told to list your in-game name, real name, and class before boarding.
- The bank card contains $10,000 as some sort of "compensation" for everything that happened because of the Fragment incident. He knows it can't replace everything (like lost lives), but he hopes this will help some people (because some people live paycheck to paycheck and he understands that). Access will be revoked in a month, so you better withdraw it all while you still can. Any unused funds will be returned. The bank will not question you withdrawing all the money from that account nor exchanging it all with foreign currency. (But-- no buts)
- The servers have been located and he knows how much you guys want to destroy these, so the server bash (literally) will happen some time during the party.

no subject
[ He's still the host, after all... ]
no subject
[ That being said... ]
Oh. You should tell me about any other new developments too. Like, maybe any future plans. I'd always been thinking on going on a double date or something. Only with people I can stand, though.
no subject
[ It's difficult, but his schedule never spares any hard matching quality time with his friends. Oria will force it there. ]
I'm good with anything except stuff that requires singing or dancing.
no subject
[ Ganymede knows what it's like for things to get busy, and he has been working extremely hard to get back to where he has been for him to have returned back to dancing. It's been several months and he was in good (physical) shape before everything...so it wasn't too much trouble.
Still, though. He has other plans too, not exactly too light-hearted either, that he needs to figure out, so there's that as well. Sometimes, some trash has to be dealt with, you know? Thoughtful expression caught between nice things and not, he lets it go to respond, not to get too caught up in his head. ]
...Really? That takes out practically everything I'd thought of! [ ... No, it hasn't. ] But seriously talking, I was just thinking we could all pick out a nice restaurant and hang out like that. It's probably for the best it's not something too exciting...
no subject
Oho, is that for his sake?
[ Probably for Sinclair too, but mostly Michel's. He looks a little mischievous at the thought of Michel becoming exhausted easily... ]
no subject
Yeah, that's right. I think it'll work out for all of us keeping it simple too.
[ Oria, what are you thinking... ]
no subject
[ Straight to the point.
Also, yeah. He's still calling him "Winter". There's a reason for this... ]
no subject
But at the other point, he blinks. Still, one thing at a time. ]
Why are you still calling him Winter?
[ As for the other matter... ]
He's definitely with me now. You mean his old house, right?
no subject
[ Hold up. He needs to process things for a moment and will get to the Winter question later. ]
He moved in with you already? Are you two getting married?
no subject
[ There's even a small pause, blinking.
...
Oh. He thinks he only told Yuui, didn't he? Wow. Well, time to fix that! ]
...And yes, we are. I'd already proposed to him, when we were in that game, and he did say yes.
[ Ganymede supposes that if there's any good time to break the news to another friendo, the time is now. But, he does look sincerely happy to say so. ]
no subject
You really meant it when you're never letting him go, huh?
[ He remembers all those boss fight dialogues, Ganymede... don't think no one heard him, because at least Oria did. ]
Congrats! If you're doing a wedding, invite me! I'll fight tooth and nail for that day to open up for me. If you're not, let me know anyway so I can send you two a gift~
no subject
...The blond's huffing a bit and putting his hands on his own hips, before gesturing with a finger, looking proud of himself too. ]
...O-of course! I'd fight tooth and nail for him, to the end, and that'd especially mean continuing it once we returned. He's everything to me. My beautiful love, my endless moonlight, my answering twilight.
[ Ganymede's face is colored as he says this, but he is unashamed. ]
We're definitely having a wedding with celebration in Greece, of course. Prepare yourself to receive an invitation from me. The date hasn't just yet been set, not yet. But it'll be something planned way in advance. My own schedule tends to be a little busy, after all.
...And, well. Thanks.
no subject
Oria remembers when Ganymede was talking about Michel like that, back when they were at the nameless root town, and that he himself was blind at the time. There was something about Ganymede speaking about Michel in such a way that Oria couldn't help but be in awe. ]
Glad to hear! You know my address from the invitation I sent you. Oh, I should send you my email address too.
[ Not phone number, because he's in the habit of changing those sometimes... He writes down in a little notepad, tears the paper, and hands it to him. ]
no subject
Ganymede certainly could've said worse which might've been bad to be overheard. But, all things considered, what Oria did manage happened to be innocuous. Plus, he has confided to Oria about his and Michel's relationship a long time ago, back in that town, when the both of them talked about their respective loved ones in their lives. ]
Email address...oh, hold on a second.
[ Ganymede grabs it, and whips out something like a notepad too, of course the light blue. Blues are his thing, after all. He takes out also a sparkly-themed pen to write it down, and then hands a small piece of paper over to him. It's probably something like thany9999 or whatnot. ]
So, why did you call him only Winter again?
no subject
But for this, he holds Ganymede's hand gently to tug him over to one of the rooms and closes the door. This is sensitive information, so he wouldn't want anyone to overhear. This is also why he speaks in a quieter voice. ]
Because "Michel" is from "Michelle". I understand what "having a trace of what you don't like to be sticking with you forever" feels like, but "Winter" is just by itself. Moreover, it's a name that he thematically tried to match with a friend.
So that's why I call him "Winter".
no subject
Michelle and Michel are close enough that it's difficult to potentially divorce the two. For Oria, he believes he understands that strikes a certain chord enough in a way for him to make the choice that he has. For Michel...well, he believes that he would tell Ganymede if he would prefer to be called differently. ]
...Alright. I can definitely see why you'd call him that. [ ... ] Even after everything that's happened, I'm also assuming he said it was okay, for him to be addressed as Winter too.
[ Ganymede thinks back to the conversation they had before. "Snow" and "Winter"...even with the difficult memories in FRAGMENT, that musn't have ruined that association. ]
no subject
[ At least, that's what he thinks. ]
no subject
...Yeah. Michel has a lot of obvious tells.
[ Even if he may or may not think so, Ganymede believes it to be the case. ]
no subject
[ And that's because-- ]
It means you can trust him.
no subject
[ To the point where Ganymede can't imagine distrusting him. They're still their own persons, and they've come a long way, but...it's so easy to not ever consider Michel would ever hurt him. To see his entire being in every little thing he does, and knows that he will always love him. Be there for him...
In the past, he knows that wasn't initially true; that even when he first met Michel, he didn't have that trust. It came later. ]
Even now, sometimes, it doesn't feel real, for so many reasons...including the idea of trusting someone like that with my heart at all. Though, I'm obviously happy all the same. [ ... ] You know how it is.
[ Not just with Michel, but Oria has Sinclair, after all. ]
no subject
[ Oria can understand that. He can barely trust anyone for anything at all. ]
I really know, unfortunately... for both of us. But we still managed to find that sort of person. Maybe we're just lucky.
no subject
[ That, well, he's been fortunate. Yeah, life has been rough, but because of that it was no guarantee that there'd be luck in finding someone like Michel. Someone he can trust.
Someone he loves so unconditionally to be himself in all the ways. He closes his eyes for a moment, before... he just shakes his head with a little smile, opening them again. ]
Though, maybe it's a little more than just luck too, right? Well, whatever it is. I'm grateful. Because...it also means we get all the free hugs and kisses we want!
no subject
Even in public?
[ His grin widens. ]
no subject
[ Ganymede seems very unrepentant here, but... ]
...He's less shy about getting hugged around everyone else, though.
[ Definitely more shy about public kisses! Michel being shy is so cute, though. It's one of his favorite things about him. He can imagine the look on his face as he's saying this, though the timeline dictates it isn't like he'd be overhearing it. ]
Is it the same on your end?
