Enjoy the canon ending!
Fine, I'll merge willingly. Just don't hurt my friends.
Now that's what I've been waiting to hear.
This spell is known as Codexia's Auspicious Bukkake
Melcodexia performs a quick allahu akbar genuflection to thank Muhammad (PBUH) for this reunification.
That's... better. Much better than before. How do you feel, Melkhiresa?
I feel... sharper. More alert.
Naturally. We are stronger together than we ever were apart.
I'm... beginning to remember. Everything.
We're merged now, Melkhiresa. There are no more secrets between us.
What about my friends in the Unavowed? You promised they wouldn't be hurt.
That's... true. I find that I don't want to kill them anymore. Perhaps that's your influence. But we still have work to do in the mundane world. We don't want them getting in our way. Trying to stop us. I know. We'll keep them asleep until we're finished. This is our world. Nothing bad will happen to them unless we wish it. Satisfied? Good.
Frankly, Melcodexia are probably doing New York a community service by keeping these idiots locked up
So. We have a lot of work to do, don't we? Where should we begin?
Seriously? These have to be the lamest choices for "I AM NOW A GOD" that I've ever seen.
Prosper trees. Trees that grow fruit and flowers.
You might be right. And... yes, I see how we can create that, too. It won't be easy, it won't be quick. But it WILL require power, and lots of it. Let's go get some, shall we?
Roll credits.
Nice narrative consultants
"Hey, Logan, you'll be voicing Logan!"
Nice touch to put "Codexia" here.
Who the hell is "Sammy"? Or "Markus"?
I assume people from origin stories different than copper.
Abe was a very obvious Goodfellow, but I'd never tell he also voiced Morino.
Oh great, there were even more muses somewhere
Pretty surprised not to find the gal who voiced Rosa in Blackwell in this list.
Special thanks list includes cannibals.
The pleasure is all yours.
And so we're kicked back to the main menu, which now only includes Melcodexia.
guess that's it
but wait, there's more!
No. I won't do it. Fight me if you have to.
Are you... sure? You won't reconsider?
I said no.
Remember. I can and WILL take that body back by force. Are. You. Sure?
I like this very obvious "you are heading towards bad end" indicator.
Read your lips: No way.
You think you can resist me? Well, I'm warning you again. You can't. Last chance, Melkhiresa.
I will not merge with you.
*Sigh* I really, REALLY hoped it wouldn't come to this.
Here we go again.
Codexia! I banish you!
SLEEP, Melkhiresa. I'll call you when I need you.
Eid mubarak.
Oh, man, I'm STARVING. When's the last time you fed me? But first...
here comes the pain
whoa
Nice disintegration.
Bye, bye, Logan. Six years of meetings led you HERE, huh? Was it worth it. Whatever, I don't care.
Goodbye, Eli. Your self-indulgent introspection will be missed by nobody.
So long, Mandana. Say hi to your dad for me.
vicious
Reinhardt-approved ending
Wake up, Melkhiresa. I have a question. I was thinking of heading to Queens. Anything there I should keep an eye out for?
Go to hell. There's a dormant portal to a fey realm in Flushing Meadows.
Huh. Now THAT is interesting. Yeah, I can work with this.
Exit Codexia.
Roll credits.
But there's more where that came from.
Thank you, Codexia.
@_@
Fadeout.
Awkward silence.
Oh. It's YOU people.
What happened? I... no longer sense Melkhiresa's presence.
Melkhiresa's gone. Now get out of my way.
Ruh-roh.
Ah.
Vicki takes out her phone.
Have I got a collar for you.
Fade to black.
woo ending slides
The evidence was overwhelming. The trial took weeks. The press had a field day. But in the end? The jury took ten minutes. Multiple life sentences with no possibility of parole.
The kid deserves it. And I get to lord it over him. Which is what being a big sister is all about.
Based on the position and angle of the bullet wound, her death was ruled a suicide. There were a lot of questions, but nobody seemed all that keen to find the answers.
Because sudden disappearance and death of a police kaptin is all fine and dandy rite
Eli begins to speak as Vicki's slide fades
So we finally got a computer. Although Logan and KayKay use it to play their game most of the time. But it turns out Travis and Winnie Cook have a very active social media profile.
And speaking of pictures, they post lots of Elijah. Sometimes a dozen every day. It hurts, being away from family. But this... makes it better. Somehow. I suppose I can live with that.
Eli the creepy internet stalker.
Logan takes over.
Went to a meeting in Chinatown not long ago. Decided to stop at the Dragon Tree. Turns out it's a drug store now. One of those national chain things. Kevin moved upstate. Rented himself a place with the money he got from his lottery winnings.
From what I heard, he's made the joint pretty popular. Might be running the place before too long. I hope it works out for him.
Hope is the first step on the road to disappointment.
Finally, Mandana.
Calliope is... well. By all accounts, she is happy. She has sampled all this city has to offer, and then some. The last we heard, she was travelling to Paris for a fashion show. I do wish her the best.
It is tempting to use the summoning ritual. But to perform it requires a death, and that is a line we will not cross. And regardless. Melkhiresa is free now. Taking away that freedom would be... wrong.
GIVE ME LIBERTY OR GIVE ME DEFF
So we venture on. Enemies are defeated. Wrongs are righted. And the wall against the darkness holds for yet another day.
Fade to black.
wut
Bandana walks in from the right.
No kidding. They ate the RADIATOR. Who eats a radiator?
Hue.
All I know is Mitch'll never let me borrow his car again.
Is it spicy?
Probably. Why?
Eli has... trouble digesting spicy food.
Seriously? Beckett, I've seen you drink LAVA.
Believe it or not, Lava isn't that spicy.
WHEN SUDDENLY
one ugly mofo
Assume combat stances!
The thing looks around to examine its chances.
And decides to leg it
Yeah, the Unavowed rock!
Exeunt. Roll credits.
But there's still one more thing left to check.
On second thought, no. This is the only way to stop you.
NO! You've ruined everything! It could have been so PERFECT!
Was it all worth DYING over?
Funny. I'm not scared of dying at all.
Eli. Vicki. Logan. Mandana... Goodbye, my friends. Forgive me.
Not even a thud, just a lame fadeout.
But where is Melkhiresa?
What? Slow down, KayKay.
... oh.
What did she say?
Logan. What did she say?
Awkward silence followed by fade to black.
They found the body in midtown. Right by the Empire State Building. Nobody knows how she got there. She just... appeared.
Then the slides proceed as normal.
It is tempting to use the summoning ritual. But to perform it requires a death, and that is a line we will not cross. Melkhiresa sacrificed enough saving us all. Honoring that sacrifice is literally the least we can do. So we venture on. Enemies are defeated. Wrongs are righted. And the wall against the darkness holds for yet another day.
Then there's the same comic relief scene with ugly demon.
And a final boot to credits.
Thanks for readung. And thank God this LP is finally over.
