[ welcome to phoenix dorm, tama, where nico happens to find her while he's actually out of bed. he is definitely in, like, a t-shirt and pajama pants, sorry. but there's hugging and he's just hugging back without question, sagging into her for a moment and not saying a word. ]

[ballies]

[ a cosy boy who has been through a lot. but yeah he's just getting the biggest hug -- bones creaking, all that jazz. ]

Did you and Will get checked up at the hospital?

[resumed]

[ there's like a tiny kitten squeak with that but he doesn't let go anyway. ]

I...have no idea. I just woke up a little bit ago, but I don't...[ squinting in thought. ] He was all healed, and I think he treated me. The mortal way.

[ no more powers. ]

[ballies]

[ squeak on nico, the hugs will not stop. ]

The mortal way. Good.

[ BECAUSE. BOY. wow. ] You must've done then. Or someone must've checked Will over, or given him a Remedy or two.

[resumed]

Yeah...[ YEAH...sweats. but he shrugs a little. ] Someone probably checked him before we got back, but I'm not going to lie and say I'm not happy about that.

[ ... ]

Tama, what...happened? [ he passed the fuck out and then had zero recollection of anything after that. ]

[ballies]

I can't really say. Things... happened as you remember, you shouted and passed out and then--

[ she pauses. ]

Will was okay.

[resumed]

[ he seems confused about that, but mostly in the sense of "i'm glad but i wish i understood stuff." ]

Then...something must have occurred while we were in the arena. I have no idea what but...[ he sighs. ] I'll take it. I wish it could have happened for some of the others we've lost, too, but...this is a really good start.

[ also he's biased as shit. ]

[ballies]

[ bro, same. ]

Or... some kind of condition? But I have no idea what it could be. Or why it didn't happen for anyone else? I'm happy it did, but-- [ them finding out in the final week people could've been saved hewwo. also me, as before, genuinely forgetting that there's probably a save role out there until britt started yelling like wha ]

... But nothing, actually. It's just nice to have some good news for once.

[resumed]

[ the tiniest sigh of relief. ]

But nothing. I'd feel more conflicted if I didn't know we were seeing the rest of them in a few days, but all I can do is be grateful something good happened on a Sunday for once. I bet the others are losing their minds over on the other side though if they can really see everything.

[ballies]

I hope in a good way! I don't think any of them would've wanted to see Will show up over there.

[resumed]

They better not have. [ immediately grumpy. ] But I guess that's just something we can ask them when we see them. "How much can you really see over there?"

Wonder what trials are like over there when they don't have to actually solve it.

[ballies]

...

Less headache inducing? I wonder if they can see a bigger picture from there. When you're removed from a situation and have a third party view, you might pick up on other things.

[resumed]

I guess it's something we could ask them if we feel like it's that important, but considering this better have been the last trial maybe it doesn't matter anymore.

[ballies]

…. That would be very nice. If we go back into the courtrooms, I’m going to scream.

[ i hope we do just so i can do this. ]

[resumed]

[ there is a very horrifying thought then. ]

...what if we have to put the moon on trial, actually?

[ballies]

…



I scream. And then we vote them guilty.

[resumed]

[ a stage whisper, because he is truly soup for brains right now after today's events: ]

We execute the moon...

[ballies]

We absolutely execute the moon and then we go home.

[resumed]

Or wherever we want to go. [ he feels strongly about this. ] If people don't want to go where they actually came from, we should make sure they can still go somewhere else.

[ballies]

Home can be wherever you want it to be. I'm pretty sure I'll be going right back where I came from though. You?

[resumed]

Will and I are definitely going back. It'd be kind of a mess if we just disappeared permanently. But I've told a few people they can come with us if they'd like to.

[ballies]

Do you think we’ll be able to do that? Bring people to other places? [ … ] There’s not going to be a collapse in the space-time continuum or something if we do…?

[resumed]

...I didn't think about it, but probably not. If we can just write it into the book when we get our hands on it how bad can it possibly be? We just have to add a failsafe to prevent the...collapse or whatever.

[ballies]

Write that the moon is weak to everything, and that we can all move between worlds as and when we want without any consequence.

[ ... ] Maybe something about forms as well... [ thinking. ]

[resumed]

...so that you can keep yours? [ he just outright asks. ]
