[WHERE HE'S WHAT?! HELLO??? NODD YOU LITTLE SHIT GO SOMEWHERE ELSE. ANYWHERE ELSE.

NOT LIMBUS CANON ANYWHERE ELSE THOUGH.

tragically gregor does not know.]

We really can't. Pulled it all off, got it taken care of... no better result than that.

[ he put it on the public i.r.i.s. network like week 0 but everyone ignored it or thought he was joking ]

Now tomorrow everyone goes home.

[verminous]

I guess so.

[...]

What're you gonna do when you get back, then?

[murdergate]

[ oh look here it comes up naturally ]

I'm not sure. I died right before I came here, but I know I'm alive now, so. It's a bit up in the air what will happen when I go back.

[verminous]

You-- wait, wait, what happens if you go back and you're still dead there?

[murdergate]

Nobody on Janth knows what happens when you die. Lots of theories. Last thing I know, dragon fire and the sense of--yeah, it's over.

[ waggles fingers ]

[verminous]

... and you're just gonna go back anyway?

[murdergate]

I... went back and forth on it. Whether to defy fate or become a space pirate or follow someone else home. But I should probably face what I chose--even if it came before all of this.

[ some people may dislike that decision, but it isn't theirs to make. ]

[verminous]

[face what he chose, huh...]

Guess it's your choice in the end. I'd rather see you live, but if that's a coin you're set on flipping...

[murdergate]

I appreciate it. I don't imagine I made a good impression while I was here, but I care about the people I met. I hope everyone goes home, gets their desires met.

[ wistful but certain. a confidence he simply couldn't piece together when powers were stripped from them, when he felt like half of himself. ]

And maybe it isn't the end for me, either.

[ hand unconsciously on his chest ]

Either way, glad you came back.
