TNDG 4 - ENDGAME

[the_macdonald]

[So you're at the Halloween dance, and maybe you're fighting robots or each other, or maybe you were just hanging out and eating pizza? Either way, there's a new door in the building... or maybe one you simply didn't notice before? It opens, and inside there is a well-lit TV stage, upon which there are several freestanding doors with names of all the surviving participants. A monitor in the corner displays the face of Ronald McDonald.]

All right, kids! Game's over! Thanks to all your tomfoolery, our sponsors pulled out, and we can't even afford prizes. Get on out of here, you little shits!

((Here's your endgame post! The doors will drop off each person where they were kidnapped (or will drop someone else where the person whose name is listed was kidnapped). Say goodbye, yell at the hosts, go back and bob for apples?))

Yes. Joker returned to his hometown once his name was cleared of wrongdoing, and Morgana went with him. The rest of us have returned to our lives.

Though, I doubt I can pretend to live an ordinary life after all that has happened here...

[afailedmurder]

I... I guess not.

[Staring at that door with renewed anxiety.]

[wantsnudes]

Akechi...

[Yusuke tentatively puts a hand on his shoulder.]

I know it must be scary, to return and face everything. But I and the others will be there to help you... You'll even be free of Shido.

[afailedmurder]

If it were just that, that would be one thing, but doesn't it also seem... pointless? Is there even a purpose to my existence in that world?

[wantsnudes]

Of course there's a purpose. But you've been tied down by others for so long, by your own notions of revenge against them, that you haven't had the opportunity to consider what you might want, were you ever to be removed from all that.

I'm sure you'll find something to direct your passions toward. You're intelligent, driven, and incredibly talented.

[Looking awfully dubious now. One foot slides back, ever-so-slightly.]

Are— are you sure about that?

[wantsnudes]

I'm absolutely sure. You've been granted a second chance; you mustn't let it go to waste.

Personally, I want to do what I can to bring the people behind this place to justice. I can't forgive them... not after what they did to Ann and the others.

[afailedmurder]

[Takes a deep breath and nods.]

...All right. Let's go.

[wantsnudes]

Very well. I'll go first.

[Yusuke leads the way in stepping through the door, glancing back only to make sure Akechi doesn't have any second thoughts.]

[afailedmurder]

[His expression is intense, to say the least, but Akechi follows right behind.]
