ENDGAME

[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.))

I know. ...Sorry, I'm just a little on-edge, I guess. It's hard to believe all this is over. Feel free to look me up in 40 years, hey.

[refusedtoleave]

Ah... You're from 2027 as well aren't you? I don't think that will be happening I'm afraid.

[unexpectedboner]

No? ...Well, where are you located, I'll look you up when I get back.

[refusedtoleave]

Rokkenjima, it's a private island. So I don't think you'd get very far. But that's not the point... I'd be 88 by then, hardly the age to be going to far. And I doubt I'd be able to invite you to visit... Unless you're looking for a job in hospitality?

[There's a giggle. At least she's optimistic that she'll live that long or many-vests in a full suit is a funny image.]

[unexpectedboner]

Swanky private island or not, I've got some friends who're pretty good at finding people. So, one of these days when you're an old granny, I'll come visit, okay?

Junpei no ;-;

[refusedtoleave]

[She's laughing, it fine.]

You better see a doctor first before going on any adventures.

:) everything is going to be fine :)

[unexpectedboner]

Ah...right. I almost forgot about that. I'm pretty sure nothing's going to fall off, though. I should be able to have at least a small adventure.

[refusedtoleave]

Are you sure? it looked pretty bad...

It might not be as much as a journey by then. The boat we used to get to the mainland has changed so much in the last few years.

[unexpectedboner]

I'm alive. Makes it harder to complain about it.

...And what happened? Did you go from a sailboat to a hovercraft or something?

[refusedtoleave]

[Blinks. What are you talking about?]

...No. The person who ferries us used to have an old fishing boat. He went to a show where he saw some American boats and decided to upgrade.

[unexpectedboner]

Whoa, did you get some fancy yacht or something?

[refusedtoleave]

No, it's still a fishing boat. But the journey is only a few hours now.

[No Natsuhi, it's a speed boat that can fish now.]

[unexpectedboner]

...How long did it used to be!? You guys must really live out in the sticks...

[refusedtoleave]

Most of the day. It is a privately owned island.

[unexpectedboner]

Wow... I know it's supposed to be swanky to own your own island and stuff, but it kinda seems lonely.

[refusedtoleave]

[Frowns!]

I've lived there for thirty years...
