[OOC][PLOT] The Return of Planning for Arc 1 - Arrivals

[robkelk]

...
At the most, this would be a sit down for everyone to discuss the possibility of them willfully not returning to their home universe, and if so which one they'd like to go to instead.  Belldandy and Urd would probably sit in to provide input about the possibilities.  (Namely, it can be done, but they need to know well in advance who's going where.)

Of primary note: The idea at this time frame is that once everyone goes home, that will pretty much be it - there isn't any plans in place for anyone to go jumping between universes, as that is pretty much what started this mess in the first place.  (And here Skuld would give Washu the stink-eye.   )
...

"I just had a thought."

Ami looked up from her book, glanced at Mii, then looked at Rob. "About one or both of us?"

"Yes, and about myself as well."

"Nothing G-rated, I hope," Mii smiled.

Rob smiled back. "That depends." Then he stopped smiling. "Where are we going to live?"

"How do you mean?"

"Once the Megami have all this sorted out, which of our worlds do you want to live in?"

"Couldn't we get Washuu-chan to set up portals between our worlds?"

"I'm sure she knows how, Ami, but will Skuld let her? And even if she does, we'll have to choose one world to buy a house in."

Everybody thought for a moment.

"This building is comfortable."

"We might not be able to keep living in it once everyone else has gone home."

Mii waved a hand dismissively. "Buy it from Lord Phantomhive, and rent out the apartments the rest of us aren't using."

"Okay," Rob replied, "That's plan A if we can run portals between the universes. What's plan B, if we can't?"

Everybody thought for another moment.

Finally, Mii broke the silence. "There's only one answer to that question."

Rob nodded. "I agree."

"What?"

"I can be a police officer anywhere. Rob can start his retirement anywhere. You can only be Neo-Queen Serenity's daimyo in your home universe. We live with you."

"You'd ... you'd give up your own lives for me?"

"We'd build new lives with you. I think that's worth it."

"So do I. And from what I've learned here, not being under the thumb of Academy City would be a bonus."

Ami drew the others into a close hug, her tears of happiness falling on their shoulders.
