⸢ GAME END ⸥

[chims]

[ A message goes out to every Relic at noon, a succinct invitation directly from CCorp. Any replies to the message will bounce back, but there may be a GM around to grill for questions if you're lucky! ]

Good afternoon, Players!

We would like to extend a formal thank you to everyone who has participated in the closed beta for The World. A festival will be prepared down the bridge to the Chaos Gate and you're all encouraged to attend. All information we required was gathered from your testing, and we only hope that you thoroughly enjoyed your sneak peek of The World. We hope that our project will bring a new depth to the world of gaming with our innovative and immersive technology, and again, we thank you all from the bottom of our hearts.

Closed beta is coming to an end, and you will have 24 hours to say your goodbyes and exit through the Chaos Gate. Simply choose the blank Area Word for all three columns and you will be returned to your homes.

Sincerest regards, and to new adventures!
- CCorp Project Team

[ True to word, there are booths set up all down either side of the bridge with a number of foods, games, drinks, and souvenirs to be taken freely. The Chaos Gate can still be used regularly for a final farewell dungeon dive in The World, or perhaps enjoy the serene landscapes before returning to your own when. Mingle away! ]

Do you mind if I ask what kind of trouble?

[Her voice is... tentative. She clearly wouldn't pry any more if he decided not to expand on that topic.]

[He's silent for a bit. Should he tell her? He's always kept what happened in his world a secret because he like the chance he was given to be normal here, where being a power user didn't have a special meaning but... they're all being forced home now so is there still a point in keeping all this to himself?]

Hm, how do I put this... someone with a lot of power wanted to erase all humans. My friends and I fought to try and save the world. It's a lot more complicated than that but-- [He shrugs.]

...

[Her first impulse is to say it sounds like something out of a story, but then again, that's how a lot of things work here. And really, she has no reason to doubt his words.]

Were you brought here in the middle of that fight?
