POST-GAME IRL PARTY LOG

[cccorp]

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:

- 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.

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. ]

[deto]

Well, not everything in life gets a neat ending, yeah? I asked you what you wanted and you made a decision.

[justonezero]

I guess so...

...

I've learned a lot, but I'm still not sure what's "trying hard enough" and what just can't be helped...

[deto]

That’ll come as you trust yourself more. When you come to like yourself more as a person, it’ll be easier to decide what’s best for Nanase Yoshi’s sake. Until then, take a gamble on following your heart or ask me or our friends for our opinion.

[justonezero]

What do you think I should do about my classmates from before?

[deto]

Your parents still live in the same town, right? So there’s a non-zero chance you might bump into one or two of them some day. I guess… have an idea of what you’d say to them if they approach you.

[justonezero]

Ah... I have no idea what to do for that part.

[deto]

None of my ideas for that are good or polite, so. [ yeah ] The option to tell them, “No, thanks, go away,” is always there.

[justonezero]

I... I guess I can!

[If he's feeling particularly brave!

...Maybe!!!]

[deto]

That’s also what I would say if they asked to make amends or whatever.

[justonezero]

Ah- that might be a bit much...

[deto]

I’m the devil on your shoulder.

[justonezero]

If they're trying to make amends, I think it's probably good to let them... hopefully that means they'll be kinder to others, too.

[deto]

[ just looking down at him with this face

why… ]

[justonezero]

-Huh? Did I say something wrong?

[deto]

You didn’t say anything wrong, but Yoshi… Argh, fine, if you let them, just remember to protect your heart.

[ stupid bastards… ]

[justonezero]

I don't think they could say anything that would hurt me anymore, so... I should be okay!

[deto]

Oh! Massive improvement. When we first met, you just accepted every negative thing they had said.

[ but also please remember pvp is ON at all times irl and deto will absolutely pvp them if they insult yoshi in any way ]

1/2

[justonezero]

It's hard not to...

[When he was surrounded by insults with no one to say anything contrary, why would he assume all those people were still somehow wrong?]

[justonezero]

But now I'm used to hearing insults and I know none of what they say actually matters.

[......I-IMPROVEMENT????]

[deto]

[ … … …

his hands are full, so he can’t flick yoshi in the forehead for all that. he resorts to knocking their heads together - gently, reminiscent of their first in-avatar meeting ]

Cute people really do get away with saying all sorts of things, don’t they?

[justonezero]

Ack.

[Whymst.]

It's true, though. It doesn't bother me to hear those kinds of things anymore. But... my reasons for it changed?

[deto]

[ it bothers deto. the crystal clear image of yoshi crying alone in his room after cubia’s false memories had faded… it makes his throat burn and jaw ache with anger - and maybe something like heartache

… ‘those kinds of things’ had done that to him

at the same time, he is proud of how hard yoshi has worked and seen firsthand how far he’s come. he does, wholeheartedly, trust yoshi to continue at his own pace ]

… Nanase not Nanashi, right?

[justonezero]

Right! For them, I'm Nanase now.

[deto]

We should, you know, visit your parents anyway. I have to pay my respects and everything.

[justonezero]

Oh! That's true. I wonder what would be a good time?
