"Five Years Later..."

A Good/Bad Ending Meme

Happy First Anniversary, Save the Earth.

Let us celebrate by speculating on where our characters might be in another few anniversaries - pick one or both of the below and do a little babble/blurb - and from there, o' course, freely springboard off of others... or play/thread in the hypothetical scenarios, if you'd like.

Good Ending
Congratulations, Numbers Club - you've fended off the supposed invasion, after a global chase and monster attack and pseudo-political fight one after the other! With the last of the Enemy fleeing and your lot as Earth's heroes, you've got no need to hide yourself any longer - and look how much you've grown in all that time! What have you been up to - and now that you've saved the world, what will you do next?

Bad Ending
...Or you've failed to do any such thing. The alien invasion has succeeded and swarmed over the world. They've overtaken humanity, and the Noble Numbered might be desperately putting up a last-stand defense, hiding their heads, giving in, or on the edge after a string of failures - on a case by case basis. Everyone is bound to react to the apocalypse - and failure to Save the Earth - in different ways.

Yeah, but. Only because they'd have enslaved or killed everybody. We wouldn't have had to fight at all if they didn't threaten our happiness and stuff! Right?

[wirsinddiejager]

I guess. But that doesn't really have anything to do with me personally.

[gam8lignant]

Uggghhhhhhhh. I am saying that everybody does things to be happy! Or to make other people happy, which usually makes the happifying person feel happy too. It's human nature and junk. What do people live for if it ain't that?

[wirsinddiejager]

Why don't you tell me, since you're so fucking wise and knowledgeable. What the fuck am I living for?

[gam8lignant]

Iunno. Which is like. Kind of the whole point of me being so super concerned about this. You should have something!

[wirsinddiejager]

I guess that's the whole issue here. Neither of us knowing.

[gam8lignant]

Well. We have to find out, then! Right?

[ Have the most supportive of squeezes. ]

Together! We saved the world and junk, so we can totally find you some shit to live for. Like when people finish college and go off to find themselves and stuff. It can be like an adventure! Travelling around the world and getting into danger and being the coolest and most badass of couples in the universe. Like the old days!

[There's another hint of a smile.]

...Yeah, that doesn't sound bad. Hard to imagine anything being a danger to us, though.
