Heh... Yeah. Well thanks anyways.Hey Sven. Recognize this place?

Of course.
*Looks over to you*
I built the place. I used to live here too.
*I slowly walk over to an old window and look out at the destroyed Earth*
And there... Good thing this place still has solid radiation shielding... And wasn't destroyed when the moon was struck.

Earl grey.*i gently pull TL to the side*Hey, Time Line... I've been thinking... I remember once when Araby and I had gotten lost in a dimension with nothing in it for a hundred years.... Excalibur ended up deleting her from existence. And when I got back, you were able to undo it and bring her back... I was just wondering... Could you do it again?

-Maddie- Okay then. Anyone else?
Chamomile.

*Is the first to arrive, an upon realizing where we are, I completely fail to hide my emotions for once and I gaze with wide eyes at the surroundings*

Hello, Sven.

* I look out the same window as Sven*
Yeah... This was where I learned how to be strong... Where I got new friends.... And now where I say my final goodbyes. I never thanked you enough for letting me stay here.
*I pause, then look at Sven*
I'm leaving Sven... After this service, I'm going to leave... I might not come back. Everywhere I look... All I see is pain and loss and I'm not sure I can take it anymore... The friendships and lessons I've learned here will stay with me for the rest of my life.... But it's time I move on.
And I just wanted to say....
*i put my hand on your shoulder*
Thanks. For everything.
*before you can respond I turn and walk to the front of the room where the picture and the pan are.*

Tox, I made that mistake once. It was one of the worst mistakes I have ever made.

*Turns to say something, but as you walk away I simply sigh and turn my attention back to the charred planet*

-Maddie- Okay then. Anyone else?Chamomile.Hello, Sven.

Hello, Spirit.

How are you?
-Maddie- What preference do you have for tea?

*i accept my Earl grey tea from Maddie as I walk by*
I'm sorry Spirit, I've made my decision.
*i keep walking to the front*

As well as could be expected in the location that's had the most repercussions in my life. And I have no preference. Tea is tea.

-Maddie- Okay then. *hands over Oolong*
-I wish I could say I knew this place, but I realise that this was from a time before I joined you all.

*get to the front and then stop before the pan, which is raised up on a pedestal. *
If I could have everyone's attention.
We are here to honor one of our lost friends. This is a ceremony I picked up in my travels that I've always thought was special... I just never thought I'd have to use it.
*i pick up a small canister*
These are Araby's ashes.
*I set them off to the side on a small pedistal right next to the pan.*
And this is a small amount of her blood.
*i hold up a small syringe then mix it with the liquid in the pan. I then set the syringe to the side and get a pinch of ash from the container and mix it in as well.*
Now that the ingredients are mixed we light them.
*I pick up a candle, then put it to the mixture in the pan, which immedeately blazes up in a pale white flame. The smoke begins to slowly fill the room and those that inhale it will begin to experience vivid memories of Araby.*
Now we can remember her always.

That is not a wise decision.

*Smiles, whispering Araby's name inaudibly*

I need to go. If only for a little while.
*to everyone in the room*
As some of you already know, I'll be leaving soon. I'm not going to change my mind, and I would rather not talk about it. And this ceremony was meant to be about Araby, not me. So why don't we raise our glasses.
*i lift my tea*
To Araby.

-Maddie- *everyone has teacups to lift*
-Maddie and Spirit- *they raise their cups. Simultaneously* To Araby.

Techi: *Whispers*
This feels like some kind of Satanic ceremo-
PD: *Elbows her in the gut*
Shh.

*After having turned around and joining the group, and a few others from Sven's crew join, I raise my tea as well*
To Araby...
