ENDGAME

[kentucky_mcgiygas]

[A wall panel in the green room slides out of view, revealing an elevator. Get in it and it will take you down to the hotel (description here), where your fellow contestants - alive and ghostly - await.

You may spend as long as you want here, ordering up as much room service as you like, but when you're read to go home, you'll find that one floor (new to the current hotel occupants) has nothing but doors with your names on them. Exit, and you'll show up exactly where you were when you left.]

((THANK YOU FOR PLAYING EVERYONE. Ghosts, feel free to materialize and talk to people. You may now speak about your prizes.))

[ With a knowing smile, she shakes her head. ]

Whatever is meant to happen, will happen.

I forgive everyone... Congratulations, Santa. You did a wonderful job. You deserve it.

[jinglebros]

No, I really don't.

But I'm glad I got it anyway.

[glowshine]

It's okay to be selfish, Santa.

You worked hard. I give you credit for putting all of yourself into the challenges. Such gusto shows the passion in your heart.

[jinglebros]

It's not okay to be selfish when it kills people like you.

[ nope he's not very consolable right now. He has his fists clenched and he's staring down at the ground, he can't look her in the eye. ]

[glowshine]

[ She isn't very consolable either. She's just good at hiding it.

Her eyes ARE watering a bit. ]

I'm not upset, Santa... No one can get rid of me. I'll watch over everyone. Promise.

[jinglebros]

...can I give you a hug?

[ He asks it so quietly she might not even hear it. ]

[glowshine]

[ Of course, she straightens and holds out her arms. She IS tangible enough to be hugged.

Her wings give a delighted flutter. ]

Why, those are Mari's favorite. Hug...!

[jinglebros]

[ He smiles and gives her a big, tight hug. ]

[glowshine]

[ For being dead, her hug is very warm. ]

Thank you, Santa... When you go home, continue being happy. Don't mourn for me in the sad way. Remember to keep smiling.

[jinglebros]

I'm not going home.

And I'm so glad for it!

[glowshine]

You're not?

Where are you going?

[jinglebros]

Home with Corrin and Niles!

[glowshine]

Oh!! I'm so happy for all of you...

You all deserve a happy ending.

I might not get mine, but seeing those of you who will... Makes me very glad.

[jinglebros]

I'll make sure to be extra happy, just for you.
