THE ENDGAME MEME!

[wonderful_mods]

STEP 1: Read the Spoiler Post for details on what was really going on in this game.
STEP 2: ►► FAST FORWARD!!! ►►
STEP 3: NOW IT'S ENDGAME. Zecora became the new Composer, and with the help of her Producer, Neku, the UG now exists as a Nexus instead of a Jamjar. Many of your erased comrades have been restored, as well.
STEP 4: Post, describing what your characters are up to! Did your Players come back to life, or choose to stay in the UG? Did your Reapers stay on board and get sweet new Cantus forms? ANYTHING CAN HAPPEN. (Also you can pick whatever worlds you want for the setting to be in - the Game still can move around, even if it is a Nexus!)

[Well, it's been a crazy ride being a Reaper. The Flutters would stay, but they have friends back in Equestria. There's a clip clop of hooves approaching and if you turn to look, you'll see a dull yellow pony with dull pink hair. It's time to say goodbye to everyone here.]

...Hey.

[vexed_snake]

[Oh. It's you, vexing pony. Asakura turns to face the sound of hooves.]

What do you want?

[cruel_kindness]

So the game's over. You going home?

[suicidoll]

(There's not much need to look over at the yellow pegasus; Kreutzer can instantly sense her partner's approach. Instead, the girl looks down at the city below her, so busy and alive as it's always been...as it should be.)

...Hey.

[cruel_kindness]

[Fluttercruel walks on over to beside Kreutzer and just stares at the same thing her partner's staring at for a while.]

...Nice view, isn't it?

[needsmorezippers]

[For someone who Ascended to a higher plane of existence, Neku is not particularly happy about it. He's chilling by a coffee shop, legs tucked up on the chair and not looking like anything even remotely powerful as he's glaring at his cell phone. For those ever in the Game, you'll notice his Reaper wings are gone!]

[zebrarhyme_everytime]

So then, do you think we might
At last have put everything aright?

[Did Zecora wander up... or just sort of appear there? As near as anyone can tell, it's the former...]

[needsmorezippers]

[His best friend is a Composer. He's kind of used to it.]

As much as we can, at least. Looks like we'll still be world hopping.

[notsogrimreaper]

[Well, someone with a difficult job like being Producer could always use another coffee, right? Ryoji is soon approaching Neku's table with two mugs in hand, sliding one across to his friend with a grin.]

Hey, Neku-kun. Good to see you again!

[Hey guess what I'm not actually Erased anymore!]

[needsmorezippers]

[Wha-- oh come on, even as an Angel this shit sneaks up on him? Shouldn't he be able to tell when people aren't Erased anymore?]

Ryoji?!

[leggierissimo]

[Neku isn't the only one that's not totally thrilled by this. Being a Composer himself, it isn't at all hard to notice the sudden shift in power and the sudden change, especially as he gets closer to the source. Composers are one thing, but this... this is the presence of a Producer.

So, when Josh sits down across from you, Neku, he does not look happy. At all. Nor is he looking at you, or even saying anything.]

[needsmorezippers]

[...Yea. Yea, that's pretty much what he expected. Honestly he's a little surprised Joshua even approached him, though he's sure it's for the purpose of making him feel guilty.

It's working.

He doesn't say anything either for a minute, nursing his coffee quietly in his hands before he finally speaks.]

...If I'd thought there was another option, I wouldn't have done it.

[vexed_snake]

[There's nothing for Asakura back home. The Rider War is over, and his lawyer was dead. That's the whole reason he committed suicide by cop anyway. (That, and he wasn't really thinking straight upon finding out he hadn't really gotten to be the one to kill his lawyer like he thought.

So he's stuck around, because this way, he can at least still have things to fight in the afterlife...and a sweet new Cantus form of his very own. Go on, ask to see it. He'll be more than happy to show it off.]

[notsogrimreaper]

[It's a difficult decision that Ryoji needs to make now. He could stay here, albeit in the UG where it's safe for everyone... He has friends here, and he'd like to spend a little more time with them. At the same time, he is supposed to be back behind the Seal, and if Minato doesn't return here, Ryoji should probably return to be there for him however he can which his friend struggles with Erebus.

...But that decision can wait a little while longer. For now, he just came back after a nasty Erasure, and he can take some time to talk with everyone before he makes his decision.

He'll be wandering over in the direction of anyone he knows, sporting a shy smile.]

[cruel_kindness]

[Fluttercruel is sitting over in the coffee shop, sipping on some coffee. She'll be home soon, so why not just one last cup for the hay of it? However, she's interrupted when she sees a familiar face. The Flutters' jaw drops and she floats off the ground, her wings flapping and keeping her aloft.]

Ryoji...!

[She stares in disbelief for a few seconds before practically tackling him with a hug.]

[notsogrimreaper]

Flutter-ch-!

[Ryoji can't even get the name out before he's tackled, and he cuts himself off with a surprised yelp. Once he recovers, however, he's laughing and squeezing her just as tightly.]

Well, I guess it wasn't just me missing you, huh?

[vexed_snake]

[Asakura's walking by, minding his own business...when he stops and does a double-take at who he sees walking towards him.]

How did you get back?

[notsogrimreaper]

[Oh, whoops. Funny, for a second there, he was thinking he'd recognized someone nice. Ryoji just shrugs and smirks.]

Don't really know. Maybe I just magically came back to spite you.

[zebrarhyme_everytime]

[One moment there's nothing; the next, a zebra casually joins his wanderings, hood up and a smile both on her face and in her voice.]

Well well, Ryoji, it seems you've faced
No permanent harm from the time spent Erased.

[zebrarhyme_everytime]

[Zecora... is easy to find, because at times, she seems to be everywhere.]

[The zebra walks about the UG calmly, keeping an eye on things as if she belongs there. Which she does, now, though she hasn't spoken of it or really given any hint. The closest one might come to seeing some sign of what she's done is spying the inner lining of her cloak... which is now a soft, radiant white that seems to go on for miles past the limits of the cloth.]

[suicidoll]

(Even with Kreutzer's newfound sensitivity to the spiritual realm, she can't sense any difference in Zecora; her willpower remained just as strong, if not stronger, than it was in the very beginning of the game. Even so, Zecora is still the champion of this Reaper's Game and that alone earned Kreutzer's respect.

The girl wordlessly drifts down to the ground before Zecora, hunting bow in hand. After a brief moment of staring, Kreutzer smiles lightly, kneeling before the zebra and laying her bow before her.)

[juuichi_yosamu]

[He never even saw what hit him. To be honest, some part of him knew he'd been erased, but all that did was make his reappearance all the more baffling.

All the signs were there. His origins from a future that was unmade, his erasure at the hands of taboo noise... he wasn't supposed to exist any more.

But something kept looking after him. He simply couldn't comprehend why, even now.

So instead, the reaper pokémon stands atop a rooftop, simply watching the world go by.]

[suicidoll]

(The Pokemon won't be alone on that rooftop for long. Perhaps he can already pick up on the girl's approach; she's hesitant at first and doesn't try to keep herself hidden, but she's certainly there.

At first, she simply stood next to him and joined him in watching the world beneath them proceed naturally, but her gaze frequently found itself back at Grovyle. She willed herself to say something -- anything -- to him to provide her some much needed reassurance.)

...Once again, time shows that it waits for no one.

[tamedhollow]

[Ichigo doesn't know how he got back here. He only barely remembers what happened. Seeing some odd, Black colored noise seething in the streets. Wondering, idly, what they were. Heading off to work on a mission, set up some walls, a trap... then a sharp pain in his back. Something painful, ripping at his very soul.

Then nothing. Nothing at all. Not even darkness. Just nothing. No sense of time, no emotions, no pain, no thought. Then he found himself back on the street. With wings. Still a Reaper.

---

Now he knew he had a choice. He could go home. See Rukia, and Haru, and everyone. But would it be back to his home? Or to Bete Noire? Or he could stay here. This place needed Reapers to keep the cycle of souls in balance. And now that it seemed things were fixed, it felt that everything would be ok...

He didn't know what he was going to do.

So for now, he's sitting in the RG at an outdoor cafe, coffee growing cold as he watches people mill by; living and dead]

[needsmorezippers]

[Neku's already seen Ryoji, so he knows people are coming back from being Erased. So this was someone he was kind of hoping to see.] Ichigo!
