FINALE

[foundationmods]

[And finally, after everything...it's over.

Everything is back to how it should be, once you exit out of the door behind the Waterfall. There are so many Monsters around, all of them excited and running around. Some are wondering what happened - some are just overwhelmed.

But, regardless....they're alive. They're here, after so much time. All of Monsterkind, back where they should be.

And everyone who you've lost...

They're back. They're back.

You have overcome so much. You have suffered through so much, and seen to the other side.

But now, for the first time in a long, long time...

...The Future is truly the brightest it's ever been.

No more pain. Only....forward, into wherever you go from here.

Though there is still so much to fix....there is still, as always...

Hope, and Dreams.

Hold onto those...

....And there's nothing you can't accomplish.]


SCP: THE FOUNDATION

THE END.

trek back/site 2 i guess

[cw_suicide]

[do you know what's convenient? NARRATIVE TIME SKIPS.

that is to say, Dazai's pretty much sticking close to Hitoka and Wuxian on the way back to the Foundation's site and generally just being... actually, pretty much himself? playing a bit of the buffoon while actually thinking and scheming because honestly, he has thoughts about all this. even if he they all need to have a break for a time, oh boy, does he have thoughts.

but once they get back to the site and freshen up and rest a bit, Dazai is on the look out, skulking around for a certain redheaded individual. when he does, inevitably, find said individual, he has to make the most dramatic entrance possible. IF THERE IS A DOOR, HE'S KICKING IT OPEN AND THEN POINTING DRAMATICALLY UP INTO ODA SAKUNOSUKE'S FACE! HE IS FILLED WITH DETERMINATION!!!!

... he is also sweating nervously and feels like his stomach is in knots and like he might die from either mortification or dehydration his mouth is so dry.]

ODA SAKUNOSUKE!

[if your name is not Oda Sakunosuke, Dazai can be found during the skulking or just flopped back at his assigned room.]

[moonlightalter]

[Ok. But.

Does Dazai give Atsushi any more rocks on the walk back?]

[cw_suicide]

[i mean, sure. from now on, Atsushi just gets random rocks from Dazai when he travels on missions.]

[moonlightalter]

[God, he's going to have such a rock collection. He'll need more shelves in his room.]

[cw_suicide]

[make a rock garden!]

[moonlightalter]

[He will!

And eventually, he's actually going to find a way to talk with Dazai about what he wants to talk about.]

...is it ok to stay here, in this world?

on site

[tsunderine]

[KNOCK KNOCK DAZAI-SAAAAAN

she's coming to visit]

Re: on site

[cw_suicide]

[there has probably been a quarantine party in that time skip somewhere idk LISTEN WE GOOD.]

Who is it~?

[tsunderine]

[In the cheeriest, most over-the-top voice punctuated with a smile:]

It's me~ Won't you let a poor girl in?

[cw_suicide]

... that kind of tone makes me nervous.

[and yet he's opening the door]

[tsunderine]

It's okay, I'm not out to kill you.

[Instead, she's a holding a rather nice bottle of wine.]

I brought you a welcome back gift.

ODA SAKUNOSUKE.

[odasaku]

[ you know, no matter how much you hate a guy, there's no way not to shock oda into a stop when dazai walks straight at his face.

he masks it well, though, giving him the usual, dead pan look after just a second's surprise. ]

...Dazai.

[cw_suicide]

[THAT JUST MAKES HIM MORE NERVOUS!!

but no. he has gone through An Ordeal and he has behaved and he has had done his best and he can die after this.

FINGER! DRAMATIC POINTING!]

As easy as it is to compare me to the Dazai Osamu you once met, I am not that man! And, in fact, I should be insulted to be compared and treated as such! I do you the courtesy of treating you as your own person and thus...!

[... thus...? brain is catching up with his words and he is not shounen hero enough for this. but then he spits out the words like he's been rehearsing them. which... yeah. he has.]

If you can't do me the same and at least give me a chance, that's your loss!












[yep.

he did one whole Stand Up For Self. he can die now--he won't because uh. three people will hunt him down, but. him dead. this has killed him.]

[odasaku]

...

[ this is... a lot to take in.

did the other oda sakunosuke have to go through anything similar to this? for some reason, oda can't help but feel a bit sorry for that man that is him but at the same time is not. the man that was dazai's true friend.

and yet he sees dazai here, calling him out on something that oda is already more than aware of. the recordings of this mission have made it all that obvious. certainly enough, this man is not the man that he met at that bar. if oda had to describe the differences, one of them would be clearer than the rest of them.

this man...is not as broken. ]

Mm. Makes sense. [ he nods. it's difficult not to think about how he saw dazai struggling against those tendrils, getting his SOUL sliced... ] Lots of people care about you. I don't think I'm necessary in this equation.

[cw_suicide]

[... oh no.

did he... did he fuck up? it feels like he fucked up.

except he pushes on, finger lowered but hand now on his hip while its opposite waves itself distractedly]

That's right. You're not necessary.

I have enough on my plate keeping other people satisfied--your demands will have to go elsewhere!

However!

... if you happen to like a good whiskey now and again, I guess I could afford to share a little. You'd be surprised how little people appreciate a good drink now and again. It's really aggravating!

[odasaku]

That sounds like a lot of work.

[ oda has no reason to doubt what dazai says. from what he saw, he did seem to have a lot of people backing him up. even an o5...

so he couldn't understand what came after. is that...really an invitation? ]

You're asking me if I want to go out for drinks?

For Ango

[cw_suicide]

[oh.

someone is gonna get photocopies of this emailed to them while certain someones are in quarantined.]

[notbymyside]

[N I C E

Ango will email Dazai a message:]

These are very detailed notes, and will be helpful in documenting the SCP you all encountered.

Excellent work.

[...yep. Though coming from Ango, that might be seen as high praise.]

[cw_suicide]

I'll trust you with discretion, of course~?

Others will probably have notes regarding the final week and the things revealed then. I was understandably a bit indisposed.

[he got real fucked up, if he's admitting to it at all.]

[notbymyside]

I know, I saw the footage of it.

[There is a long pause here, as he considers what else to say.]

You probably need another vacation, when your containment period is over.

[darkincrement]

[ Some where in Site 2, a portal will open up. Not long after, a teenager with long, spiky hair and mostly gold eyes will approach Dazai. A keyblade will appear in his hand and he'll point it at the lanky man. ]

So tell me, are you still planning on going after John?

[ S'up binch he heard you had plans on giving someone shit ]

[cw_suicide]

[... seriously.]

Who's John?

[darkincrement]

[ Seriously. ]

You really are an idiot. At least he got that part right.

It's the guy who was pretending to be you.

[cw_suicide]

I'm not an idiot. The idiot is the one who comes out of nowhere trying to pick a fight with an unarmed individual who was impersonated rather poorly by someone who made remarks about it... what? Months ago now? And who has also had quite an ordeal this mission and so thinking about said impersonator has not been a priority and thus I'd forgotten I wanted to talk to him about his poor acting skills.

... anyway, you are...? Who?

[prayerwheel]

[ eyeing this fight curiously, but not getting involved ]
