I ... I can't really take this thing. Someone else shoulda ...

... Damn.

I have a ticket.

I'm not going to use it.

[The video clicks on to show a visibly-upset Kaylee, holding a small piece of paper.]

What in the ruttin' hell am I supposed to do with this?! A ticket on the rocket, to leave, escape this whole damned mess, and part of me ain't sure that leavin's all that bad an idea! What if there's a malfunction, and I could fix it, or-

But I can't. I couldn't. I couldn't be that way, and-

[She starts crying, and the feed clicks off.]

bet everybody who's against anybody doing stuff to property's got a ticket & nothing better to worry about till they escape.

So besides Aradia and Nathan, has anyone else around here been dead before? I figure some of us might like to know what it's like as we head into our final hours so we can be prepared for it.

Well, we're fucked.




Cheers!

I thought I'd be more upset about dying again.

[ Private: Katniss ]
We need to see you.

Oh fucking hell. I give up. I GIVE UP, HEAR ME? Go right ahead, loot my best whiskeys and rums, take all my vodka, it's not like I invested a lot of money in this or anything, or like I was planning to, you know, let my friends that can actually digest this stuff drink themselves into an oblivion with it tonight.

It's yours. Whatever. If I'm going to finally meet my maker, I'm not going to fret the last remaining hours of my afterlife trying to protect some bottles of alcohol.

Ah... so that when I leave this life in a moment of beautiful devastation, I don't have any unfinished business left behind that would cause me to return as a ghost... I think... there are some things that ought to be said...

Minato-kun, I am very sorry we never got to attend the film festival together. Still, watching movies alone with you was a precious moment I'll be sure to cherish! Despite being indisputably the King of the Host Club, I feel like it was you who started to teach my heart new things!

Naoto-dono, no matter how dramatic and stirring a secret romance must be, in my last hours I must proclaim it from the rooftops! Your cool, aloof manner and impeccable dress have always been admirable things, but what will hold my memory the most is the becoming flush in your cheeks at the moment we had our first and so far only kiss under the mistletoe!

Haruhi-chan... it feels like this is the most difficult to say, but... the closeness I feel for you turns out never to have been the proud regard of a father for a daughter after all, or even a sempai for a kohai! My biggest regret in preparation for the upcoming life is that I realized this too late to confess my true warmer feelings for you! Maybe... maybe our chance for romance will be permitted by the stars again in our next incarnations, on some other world!

Kyouya-kun. You have always been the best of friends to me, and even though I feel like perhaps I have relied on you too much without appreciation, there's nobody but Kyouya-kun who could have made me the man I am today. Arigato, Ohtori Kyouya-san. You will always be the oka-san to my otou-san.

Ryoji-kun. Seta-san. Fellow Hosts and Hostesses. Sharing these unique experiences with you has made them shine brighter in my memory than anything I could have done with less admirable friends. Sayonara.

So this is really it, huh?

Damn. I mean, if I was gonna choose a way to go, burning alive in a meteor crash is pretty awesome. I mean, it's way more cool than like.. falling down some stairs or some kind of stupid allergy or something.

Looks like we've still got some time, anyway.

Hey Tim. Still got your V-Card?

The comet is so large now... Coming so close... Teddie's not ready... It's so unfair... I've had such a short time amongst you all... such a short time living a human life... There's so much Teddie hasn't done yet....

To all my friends... Ryoji... Sensei... Yosuke... Alois... Chie-chan... Junpei-kun... John... Kanji-kun... all the sexy ladies I have yet to befriend... Let's make the most of the time we have left.

Maybe the suit will protect me.

It ain't a joke, eh? I can really see it.

Spain...

There are two plans. Only one of them can work (if either of them actually works), and I've got no right to make that decision for you all.

Plan A is to power the TARDIS up as much as I can. Burn off every room except the control room, then pump all that energy and the power from the engines into the shields. That means there will be room for twenty, maybe thirty people inside if you squeeze in tight. Donna, Master, Rose, Amy, Rory-- you'd be in charge of keeping the shields stable. Other than that spots would be first come, first serve. IF the force-field around the island can soak, oh, maybe half of the impact of the comet, then there's maybe a fifty percent chance everyone inside the TARDIS would survive.

Plan B is to get everyone on board the TARDIS. Absolutely everyone. Then we wait for the last moment, after the meteor hits. If we can dematerialize in between the time the force-field goes down and the shockwave hits, we could get away. If the force-field goes down before the tsunami hits or the volcano goes off or the island breaks apart. AND if the force-field is what's been keeping the TARDIS pinned in place here, which I'm not sure of.

Everyone gets a vote, but until I've got your vote, absolutely nobody goes aboard.

When I was in the games, it seemed like death was always on my doorstep. Whether I lived or died was up to me. Right now, it still kind of is, just in a different way.

I got that ticket, thanks Junpei.

I won't let it end like this.

Oh. Yeah, alright then. Is there going to be one of those planes with announcements flying by, all 'Just Joking!'?

After all that, sorta wish I'd packed champagne and Christmas crackers.
