All's well that ends well

[ So you've wished the dead back to life, but there's still 2 wishes you have to make. Ultimately what happens from here is entirely in your hands, but for the first time in eight weeks everyone is alive and whole again (even that pesky merman). There is that corruption you should deal with, but surely you know what to do about that.

Once you've settled and wound down a bit, maybe you should relax a bit before going your separate ways. You've earned it.

[Of course he does. And while his aim is true and he's assuredly very good at stabbing people, this just . . . doesn't connect.

She doesn't disappear. She doesn't waver or falter. It just very simply doesn't land. He might as well have tried to stab a cloud.]

Ta-dah.

[maddogs]

What the fuck?! An' you're tryin' ta ask us if we're human.

[buddyoldpal]

Woah, damn.

[ That was weird. ]

It's like ya weren't even there.

[ Except she clearly was. ]

[originallutece]

I'm not human. Not anymore. I haven't been since I died.

[SHRUG.]

And you're not entirely wrong. I'm not here. That's the trick.

[Or, well--]

I'm . . . here and not. I told you that, didn't I? I'm scattered among worlds, among all the possibilities . . . here and not. Alive and dead. I can interact with objects if it suits me, but you stabbing me . . . it's like trying to stab a shadow. It's why I can travel where I want as well-- because part of me is already there.

. . . I can do that, too, if you'd like. I can teleport you both. Not out of this room, not yet, but.

That's incredible, Rosalind. You're incredible.

[buddyoldpal]

Damn, yeah that's fuckin' nuts!

[ She'd explained it before but honestly a lot of it goes over his head. ]

Ya really are somethin' else, Rosalind.

[SHE LOVES PRAISE . . . she really does, in some ways she's as starved for it as Majima, and it's clear this is delighting her.

So she reaches for them both, taking one hand in each of hers. And it's . . . nothing, really. In the space of a moment they go from one side of the room to the other, flicking out of sight and reappearing just like that, and it's as easy as taking a step forward. Easier, really, because there's not a moment of energy expended.]

[maddogs]

A-ah, shit!

[ amazing???? ]

[buddyoldpal]

[ One second they're here, and now they're there. That sure is something. ]

Fuck, that was rad.
