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

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!

...and knowing is always better.

[And, because he's had to relive almost every instance of Buffy screaming at him, crying because of him, or freezing him out of her life in those three years, Giles can't stop himself from adding:] And I'm s-sorry.

[herotypical]

...For what?

[ asked not as though there was nothing to apologize for but simply as though buffy wants to know which wrong was being addressed. ]

[consultmybooks]

Shall I start with your first day in Sunnydale and work my way forward, or would you just prefer the highlights?

["Read me my signs, tell me my fortune!" He flinches as the phantom image of a book sails past his head.]

[herotypical]

Been there, done that. Got the trauma. You don't need to apologize for any of it, Giles. Not now. Not anymore.

[consultmybooks]

...if you say so.

It just, um, doesn't seem like that. Like it was that long ago, I mean. But, um, he did mention that it would take a few days for everything to get...s-sorted out again.

[herotypical]

Sorted out? [ she draws a small bag of roasted almonds from her pocket and sets them down between them. ] Things are unsorty?

[consultmybooks]

[He takes a handful almost immediately.]

Just for a while.

I just had three years all in about three days. Things are, um, bound to be unsorted.

[herotypical]

...Please tell me he at least stuck things back into your brain in order?

[consultmybooks]

...how would I know if he didn't?

[Giles shakes his ehad after contemplating this horror one second too long.] No. I think everything's where it should be. It all, um, just seems far too recent.

[herotypical]

...As if it was yesterday.

[ funny. she encounters the same phenomenon all on its lonesome. ]

[consultmybooks]

...as if it were yesterday.

[His fists clench, and there's a faint "crack" as the latest handful of almonds splinters.]

I had moved past this. Some of this, I mean. I-It, it was, um, past.

[herotypical]

...It hits you like a mack truck. Like a rerun of being hit by a mack truck. That's understandable.

[consultmybooks]

...the only memory I had of Jenny for these past few months was of one of the last of the Watchers trying to use her against me.

[So many more details there - the words he'd used, the circumstances surrounding how they'd come to be there and what had happened next. But that, at least, is neither here nor there. And now that he knows the truth, it affects him even less.]

[herotypical]

...God, Giles. I had no clue how to tell you. How do you tell someone that?
