Who: Everyone, involved in the labyrinth or not!
When: Day 12, in the afternoon—specifically, immediately after the labyrinth
Where: THE BEACH of Port Perplex, but anywhere really
What:

[FOR POST-LABYRINTH EXPLORERS: you wake up somewhere along the beach, as though you just washed up on shore. it's especially hot today, and yet, the sun bearing down on you doesn't seem to be causing your injuries any additional discomfort. in fact, the heat seems to be relieving some of your pain—you might be lucky enough to feel no pain at all. still, you should probably get some help.]

~*~*~*~*~

[there's some immediately observable changes in Port Perplex. you see, the ocean is a vivid aqua color now, no longer trapped beneath a thick fog that once stuck to its surface. if you look out in the distance over the ocean, you'll see a beautiful sky. the sand along the shore is now soft and warm. furthermore, there's some coconut-bearing palm trees dotting the shore. in summary, this looks like a tropical beach now!

for the next however many days, you'll be able to discover some other things, as well as participate in the festivities taking place all along the beach. it helps that your employer MIGHT have just given everyone a vacation! you see, every single one of the townsfolk are thrilled for this new development, and they're more than eager to celebrate its arrival!]

No. But it was effective.

[evervigilante]

I won't deny that. But are you going to cave to it?

[prismbloom]

[ she won't lie to herself: it had been too easy to, when she was alone... and when it was dark and cold. but outside, it's easier to remember the images not as reality, but as illusion. ]

No. They wouldn't want me to.

[ it still hurts, though. ]

[evervigilante]

It's just as important to remember that for yourself, as well for your friends.

[prismbloom]

I'll make sure to do that. Thank you, Yuri.

[evervigilante]

[ shrugs ]

I didn't do much.

[prismbloom]

Even if you don't think you did much, you helped me remember to do things for my own sake, too.

[ she doesn't do nearly enough of that. ]

[evervigilante]

I'm good at putting things in perspective, I guess.

[prismbloom]

It's a good ability to have, especially in the labyrinths.

[evervigilante]

[ Compared to Tales hijinks, this seemed pretty tame ]

Yeah, lucky me.

[prismbloom]

You don't seem too pleased about that.

[evervigilante]

It's hardly something I'd boast about. Or put down as a positive quality.

[prismbloom]

I'll just have to consider it positive for you, then.

[evervigilante]

I won't stop you.

[prismbloom]

I'd be more surprised if you did.

[ a light wince. ]

I do hope our next labyrinth isn't nearly so horrible.

[evervigilante]

Cross our fingers. But don't think about it now. Get some rest first.

[prismbloom]

Rest sounds wonderful, at this point.

[evervigilante]

Then you better get a lot of it.

[prismbloom]

You have my word that I will.

[evervigilante]

Good. That means I can sleep easy tonight.

[prismbloom]

Were you that worried?

[evervigilante]

I'm a compulsive worrier.

[prismbloom]

It seems like you and Lightning may have that in common.

[evervigilante]

Don't depress me.

[prismbloom]

[ whoops. ]

Had you two even met, before the labyrinth? It seems like you had, but...

[ can't entirely be sure. ]
