THE END
You've walked for what feels like ages down the highway as a group- all those who chose uncertain freedom over certain death. Within an hour, Mayfield became a distant speck on the horizon before ultimately fading into the hills and trees. The only sign of the place you've escaped is the sky, which remains an eerie brown even after night falls and you've put Mayfield hours behind you.
Try as you might, it's impossible not to imagine that you've been led into a trap. What if this is all part of some new sick game of Johnson's- or even Zemekis'? It certainly wouldn't be the first time. What if the events of the past few months- saving Annie, Gray's "ghost", Zemekis' apparent death -what if it's all been nothing but the latest in a long tradition of Mayfield's-
These thoughts fade when you see the first sunbeam.
This road isn't like the ones before: the roads that looped endlessly into themselves, inevitably leading back to where they began. This road has an end.
Keep walking forward and you'll find yourself in a new town, both similar to Mayfield and utterly unlike it. The buildings here are crude and unfinished- the streets little better than paved paths of dirt. There are no drones here, no hazmats, no one in sight other than you and your companions. But all of these things are nothing more than trivial details, when compared to what you feel the moment you enter its boundaries.
There's power here- you can feel it in your fingertips. Each and every one of you can, from the most godlike seraph to the most ordinary human: power, faint but unmistakable. The power to build a world, and to destroy it. The same power that's been lorded over you for four years... but now, it's yours to command.
You can create a new life here. It isn't the home you remember- the home you remember, after all, was never yours to begin with. For some of you, that's a blessing. For others, it's a hard truth you'll have to live with. But even though you can't go home, with the power you've been given, it might just be possible to bring home to you. Bits and pieces of it- locations you remember, small creatures from your world- no people, though. That's one power Annie decided not to give you.
The place you've found isn't perfect- there will be work, hard work, and pain. The place you've found is your own: there are no overseers here, no Zemekis, no Johnson. The place you've found may not be paradise- but it's the nearest thing you're going to get.
You've found, at last, a better place to live.

You couldn't be more facetious if you tried.
[CIEL.
YOU EVEN ADDED.
AMEN.
TO THE END.
GET OUT.]

so bumsore right now]
--Huh? I was being earnest, Archer! God is our witness even in a place like this, you know!
no subject
Lets just change topics. If I decide to work for you it will be of my own will and not yours. Please don't include me in your master plans without my permission.
no subject
ciel was always cool n_n]
I'm okay with that, but if you still haven't decided by the time I officially start the construction of the bakery, you'll have to get the materials for any subsequent modifications yourself. Does that sound fair, Archer?
no subject
>cool
you wish.]
Whatever you want. I'm not going to change my mind on this.
[And lets be honest here when does Archer ever change his mind.]
no subject
Now now. If this is going to be a joint business, you need to voice your input too.
[when he's
goadedpersuaded, like any other normal and well-adjusted person, duh!!]no subject
There you go again, deciding things on your own. So much for apologizing to God and I. There is no 'joint business' happening.
no subject
At least drop by as a part-time cook, you're going to have a lot of free time again you know.
no subject
Good grief you're dedicated to this. Why are you being so pushy about my cooking?
no subject
dumping on the friendly suggestions here
as a friend
that's important]
Weren't you almost going to agonize over the troubles of adapting to a normal and uneventful life? I just thought that it would be a good place for you to start.
no subject
Tch. Even so, you still seem oddly determined. You never even had any of my cooking.
no subject
...
Are you really going to pretend to be surprised about me Knowing Things now, Archer?
