❧ Homeward bound

[luministimods]

[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.]

[smiles. but then there's an awkward pause, and she fidgets a bit] Then I suppose...this is good-bye.

[collector]

Yes. It must be. I . . . appreciated your company.

[fortune_sought]

Ah...yes. And yours as well. [fidgets. she's starting to understand why Brax wanted to sneak off] Good-bye, Mr Braxiatel.
