Let 'em say we're crazy, I don't care about that!

[lucetimods]

Who: Everyone!
What: The final day. Moonfall. Twenty-Four hours remain. How do you spend it?
When: The 30th, all day
Where: Anywhere
Summary: The last day. The end has come. The moon is coming down and piercing the barrier. Nothing can stop it.
Rating: It will vary.


Details are here. But here's a recap and expansion!

By the time morning hits Luceti, the Moon has begun to breach the barrier, noticeable by how the barrier will fluctuate about the Moon's face in strange ribbons of energy. The oceans and lakes begin to rage as they are caught by the Moon's gravity. The ground begins to quake in an unsettling way. Small and harmless tremors that will slowly intensify over the course of the day. With the Moon already partway through the barrier, it will be noticeable that it is not quite as large as the real Moon. Though quite vast, the Moon itself does is not quite the entire size of Luceti, but is large enough to span the entire village and more. The Moon's angered face does not cease for a moment, even as it becomes the only sight in the sky.

Yet it remains in the sky, slowly breaking through the barrier, and proving indestructible in spite of all that is thrown at it. In the evening it will begin to cause gravitational disturbances, drawing up debris and small objects into the air. When it finally reaches midnight, the bottom of the Moon will be one mile above Luceti. At that point, all will suddenly black out and know no more. What becomes of the Moon? Does Luceti go splat? Will CJ finally get his moon rocks? Stay tuned!

We should do it soon. [Except....

She looks up to the moon, then back at Cecil.]

Cecil?

[paladinlost]

[Except there might not be a soon.]

Yes, Grune?

[lostinmyway]

[She gives him a warm smile.]

Thank you for being my friend. Spending time with you has been so much fun, and I'm very happy that we were able to get to know each other.

[She sets down her picnic basket and wraps her arms around him in a hug.]

You're such a kind person, Cecil.

[paladinlost]

[For a few seconds, Cecil freezes. But then...]

...Honestly, saying that now. You make it sound as though the end is coming. Friends should say such words to each other at any time, you know.

[Yet he hugs back, as hard as he can.]

[lostinmyway]

[She keeps holding him for a while long.]

Yes, that's exactly right. I'm sure everything will work out all right, but it's still very important for me to tell you anyway.

[paladinlost]

Thank you. You are a kind person yourself, along with a dear friend.

[And also doomed to death by moon, but nothing is perfect.]

[lostinmyway]

[She smiles.]

Thank you, Cecil. That's a very nice thing to say.

[paladinlost]

Nice would mean little if I did not mean it.

[But he does. Oh, he does.]

[lostinmyway]

[She gives him one last squeeze, then lets go.] ...Thank you.

[She picks up her basket again.] Would you like another cookie?

[paladinlost]

I'd love one. Would you like some wine to go with it?

[A drink shared before the apocalypse is always nice.]

[lostinmyway]

Oh, I've never had wine before. [And there's a very good reason for that.] Is it good?

[paladinlost]

It depends on the wine, but I like this particular bottle.

[lostinmyway]

Can I try some?

[paladinlost]

Of course. Here you go.

[He holds out the bottle and a glass.]

[lostinmyway]

Thank you.

[She pours herself a glass. Last chance to take back a really bad decision!]

[paladinlost]

To our health and survival, then.

[He takes a sip.

...The poor, oblivious fool.]

[lostinmyway]

And our happiness!

[Grune drinks the wine down like water. Er.]

[paladinlost]

That too- Erm. Perhaps you should drink more slowly?

[What has he done?]

[lostinmyway]

[She looks into her now half-empty glass.]

Oh, do you think so?

[Something very, very bad.]

[paladinlost]

You need to take your time, if you wish to appreciate the taste.

[Bad enough for Latin chanting in the background?]

[lostinmyway]

Oh, is wine like tea?

[Maybe not quite that bad. Maybe.]

[paladinlost]

Not quite, but all drinks deserve to be appreciated properly.

[A shame. There's not enough ominous chanting around here.]

[lostinmyway]

Hmm.... That's true.

[She takes a much smaller sip this time.] It's very nice.

[paladinlost]

I'm glad you like it.

[And glad you're not chugging it anymore.]

[lostinmyway]

Thank you for sharing your favourite drink with me.

[That's very special.]
