luministi | ❧ Homeward bound

[Audrey waits outside the door to Lab #3. she smiles--she finally has something to smile properly about again] Go on in if you're ready, and take care, my darlings.

[the door opens to reveal a silver, cylindrical room within, and on the opposite side of the room is a small observation room, walled off with glass through which the real Dr. Constantine Caligin and Verita can be seen, waiting. Caligin moves out of that room, into the main area; the warm smile on his face from so many past announcements is tinged with sadness and regret.]

I heard everything you said before, and I thank you. Saying "I'm sorry" is in no way sufficient enough for what you were put through, but I really hope you do believe me when I say that I made the biggest mistake in my life. Grief, like love, makes us all fools. I just know that if you had met my father, you would have understood why I started the project in the first place.

But now, if you can head into this chamber, I can get you home. If you need a minute to say any last good-byes to anyone, do so now and let me know when you are all set to depart.

[ooc: Once your character is all set to leave, please write "Ready to go home!" in the subject line of your comment.]

... Thank you, Audrey. For everything, really. [Cissie smiles brightly at her, but waves her hand upon the request to go home.] Just hang on. I've got one last thing I need to do.

[So she'll be awkwardly lingering around the door to Lab #3... almost as if she knows someone's going to come there pretty quickly.]

[The truth is, he can't force himself through the goodbyes. So he leaves as he arrived - alone and finishing up a glass of wine.]

I do hope you understand how this machine works.

[having said her good-byes, Sophie approaches the Mayor, a bag in her hand and her expression betraying her nerves. perhaps her temper is, as well] Sorry is most certainly not enough!

But... [shifts her gaze, a bit embarrassed] I am glad that you've come to your senses. [looks back up at him] Now, what do I have to do to go back home?

[Hawk makes one last check of his gear before heading in, giving Audrey a smile on the way.] You take care of yourself, too, Audrey.

[a little uneasy on his feet in front of the Mayor, but most of that's anticipation- he's not sure what he's going back to, but he expects running and fighting] It's hard losing people close to you. I hope things work out from here.

[looks at the chamber] So what do I do?

[approaches the mayor, her expression calm]

Sometimes, the worst decisions are the ones that change us for the best. You didn't know what the consequences of your actions would be, but what you did once you found out--that was what was most important.

[examines the chamber] Do I just step inside, and then I'll be sent back where I came from?

[Entering the chamber Fuu is in awe of the intimidating structure. It's nice to see Miss Verita's friendly face there.]

[She sighs in relief when she hears the Mayor's contrite apology. There is still much wrong with what happened, and many questions left unanswered, but she is glad that everyone is safe. In the end, that is most important.]

I am glad to be returning to where I belong. However, it has been a pleasure meeting everyone here. Truly.

[So with a smile and a nod she indicates her readiness, and offers one last prayer that she might be returned to the instant in time that she left.]

[ooc: And sorry, I never got around to asking if Fuu might get one last word in with the Doctor! It feels a bit late to be asking... ^.^o]
