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. ]

Comments

[deto]

I also hear people say it’s the happiest day of their life, but… every day with you has been that for me. A… comfortable, quiet happiness that keeps growing. Something like that?

But I think I’ll still cry on our wedding day.

[justonezero]

-Now you're the one who's going to end up crying?!

[deto]

It’s all the friends who will show up for us.

[ already feeling emotional about the idea ]

Who want to show up. For me. For you. That’s what’ll get me.

[justonezero]

-Wait, we haven't even decided who to invite yet?!

[deto]

Ha, as if that’ll stop them.

[ glancing back to the beach house ]

[justonezero]

[Glancing over, himself.]

I guess... it's still not a very big guess list, so that's probably okay.

[deto]

[ eh - is quantity an issue? ]

You want a small wedding?

[justonezero]

I haven't really thought that far? I just know they can get pretty expensive. And I still don't know what kind of work I'll be able to do...

[deto]

You can do anything. [ deto believes in yoshi and… he also believes in himself ] Don’t worry, I’m a master at saving money.

[justonezero]

Only if people actually hire me for it. But... I want to make sure I'm contributing, too.

[deto]

You already are - and you will.

[ contributing to plans count ]

I feel like you should just team up with your cousin and be your own bosses.

[justonezero]

His current job pays really well, though? Not sure you can make that much freelancing...

[deto]

Probably not at first, but I think it’s something you should keep at on the side until - well, who knows? I feel like it has the potential to be really big though.

[justonezero]

I guess. But...

I think I'd rather spend my free time with you?

[deto]

[ man he’s so smitten if that simple comment makes him so stupidly happy ]

Then…

[ angling the umbrella so it blocks the beach house’s view of them as he leans down to kiss yoshi ]

Can I claim every minute of your free time for the rest of our lives?

[justonezero]

[Leaning into that kiss, like it's the most natural thing in the world.]

...Of course.

There's no one else I'd rather spend it with.

[deto]

[ and that gets a smile that is solely yoshi’s - and another kiss, also yoshi’s ]

[justonezero]

[The umbrella's in the way, so... it's probably fine if this kiss lingers a bit, isn't it?]

we continue!

[deto]

[ when he finally pulls back it takes him a moment to remember what they were talking about, distracted by yoshi’s simple beauty under the umbrella’s shade. love protected from unwanted eyes, from the burn of the sun, already warm enough here with just the two of them

all these words come together in thoughts he’s never had before yoshi. he’s a simple guy, likes living the simple life. but the complicated chaos of feelings and experiences yoshi has brought into his life definitely isn’t unwanted ]

… Oh, I never realized, but… we sorta reflect each other, don’t we?

[ tilting the umbrella back so it shades yoshi properly again ]

Re: we continue!

[justonezero]

-Huh? Do we?

[He was thinking no such thing, simply enjoying the moment between the two, away from the others.]

[deto]

Not like mirrors, but kinda ying-yang? White, black, our hairstyles. When we turn toward each other like this.

[ when they kiss ]

[justonezero]

...Oh, yeah. Your hair's a little long on that side, too.

I never noticed before.

[deto]

Yoshi, we’re really meant to be.

[justonezero]

-?

I thought you already decided that before?

[deto]

I did. But I’m validating myself and our love.
