week four | endgame

[marriagebroker]

After one last night at the estate, everyone is set to big farewell on Sunday morning or afternoon or evening, however long they want to linger until they say their goodbyes.

There will be transportation to send them out of the estate and back to wherever they came from! They will leave just the way they arrived, of course. Taken all the way back home to their respective worlds.

But before that! Everyone is given one smartphone which they will be told can communicate with everyone else, including Wei Wuxian. If they want to call or text or whatever they want. There's already a group chat set up where Wei Wuxian has posted:

Safe travels, friends!

And Wei Wuxian will also share that they are able to travel to each other's worlds. They just need to return to the estate and from the estate, they can leave back to someone else's world. The estate will function as a "hub" of sorts for these travels.

So, farewell, friends! Here's to your perfect match!

[LEVELING HER. . . WITH A LOOK]

Have you seen what her heart has done?

[aka yes]

[researcherstory]

From the cover alone, wonders. Would you like to trade? Mine's rather charming.

[ And still has him. ]

[ordimame]

[HOLDS. . . HIS DOUJIN CLOSE. . .]

I don't know if I want you to have this, Sachiko. . .!

[however]

But yours looks a lot less-- [just. less] -- so I wouldn't mind taking a look.

[researcherstory]

[ You give her those hot French people right now. ]

Too bad. I would've liked to see if I was featured, being half myself.

[ Be funny ngl but she doubts it considering her looks are more Ka Buan than Vaugardian -- which she's come to realize is like to Furina and all. She'll hold out her Safe Doujin to him. ]

It's almost like a biography of our time here, really. Embarrassing as the familial roles are... they could be worse.

[ordimame]

[THESE HOT FRENCH PEOPLE ARE [REDACTED] IN HIS [REDACTED] AND [REDACTED] AND HE CANNOT RELEASE THAT UPON THE WORLD!!!]

[he turns a bit pink at her tease, but otherwise takes the SFW doujin from her and begins flipping through it, shoulders easing]

Hey. . . it's actually really cute.

[researcherstory]

[ Her gaze turns away when he starts to look through it, crossing her arms with a soft hum. It is cute. And... to her, something precious. Books always have been. Even these sorts, though they aren't her favorites by far. ]

... I'm certain if you'd like a copy, she wouldn't mind securing you one too. But if you try and call me Auntie, I'll hang you upside down.

1/2

[ordimame]

[his smile softens]

. . . I'd love a copy.

[genuinely! this doujin is warming his heart from the inside out]

[ordimame]

[AND THEN. . . a little cheekily, a little bratty]

Can I try it at least once, just for the bit?

1/2

[researcherstory]

[ ........ ]

[researcherstory]

Fine. Just once, since I might as well spoil you on our last day together for some time.

[ By children tall as her knee, yes, but never by anyone older... except brats. ]

[ordimame]

[HEHEHE. . .]

I'm teasing. I wouldn't do that to you; I promise.

Besides. . .! You're not that much older than me. You feel more like a big sister than an aunt.

[researcherstory]

[ Not that much... Edamura, please. ]

You flatter me. I suppose I can allow that much, given I am otherwise an only child by blood... though you have a few people who decided the same of me back in my world that I'll have to introduce you to.

[ Well. Boniface calls her granny and Odile made sure the rest of them would never consider calling her "mom" -- which Isabeau jokingly did, once -- so older sister does suit well enough. ]

I do think you underestimate my age though, Makoto. I am a much older sister in that case.

[ordimame]

[. . . he underestimates??]

You're only in your forties. . . right?

[NEVER ASK A WOMAN HER AGE!!!]

[researcherstory]

[ .......... ]

Of course.

[ lmao no ]

[ordimame]

See? Not that much older than me!

[he will never find out]

[researcherstory]

[ Not until they celebrate her birthday in a few years and he's shocked to learn that she looks as good for her age as Verso does, minus the hair dye. ]

Yingying is family now too, for the record. She's taking my last name so she can have something of an easier time when she visits places where normal people have more than one.

[ Definitely all there is to that. Nothing else attached. Just being kind. ]

[ordimame]

[. . . ah! he perks up almost immediately when she mentions Yingying]

So she's going home with you? That's great, Sachiko!

You must be really happy.

[researcherstory]

[ oh my god yes she's happy but she feels embarrassed that he'd speak so plainly-- ]

Only until she's gotten used to her new form, Makoto. Then she can do as she pleases where she pleases -- which I'm certain won't take long at all.

[ordimame]

[he will speak it for her since she is not!!]

One step at a time, right?

[who knows what the future will bring. . .? maybe Yingying and Yi Sang will want to stay there for much longer than Odile is anticipating]

Aaaah. . . I guess this means she won't need my wish after all.

[researcherstory]

[ wdym "and yi sang" she approved one person to come back with her ]

Perhaps not, but you could always ask. Yingying's been without much for a long time, after all. Even wishing her well would do good.

[ Literally wishing her well -- good health, good fortune, good tidings... Yingying might even grace him with a laugh for the effort. ]

I'll still be visiting you and Rom, of course... whomever else accepts me as well. My travel options have diversified quite a bit.

[ordimame]

[HE JUST SORT OF ASSUMES THEY'RE A PACKAGED DEAL??]

I plan on it.

[asking, he means. Yingying was the first person he promised his wish to, and he plans on keeping his end of the deal. it is only if she truly doesn't need it that he'll explore his other options]

And do you find that exciting? The chance to explore worlds completely separate from your own?

[researcherstory]

[ YES, THEY ARE, BUT THEY ALSO BOTH ASKED SO DON'T WORRY ABOUT IT SHE'S GOT TWO OF THEM NOW, ]

Of course. How many people can claim they're afforded the opportunity, Makoto? I would be a fool to waste such a chance.

[ordimame]

[GOOD, THIS IS AS IT SHOULD BE!!]

And you're definitely no fool.

[but he is thinking about how "modern" his and Rom's worlds are compared to his own. . . which! reminds him of something! and he takes a moment to dig through his pockets]

-- I know we'll see each other again soon, but before you go! One picture for the road?

[and then he holds up his smartphone, tilted slightly in his hand]

You did promise me one.
