And you can't pull me down

[musacal]

[ There's a groundhog anxiously pacing around the halls when suddenly everyone appears in the lobby and she's rushing up after all the initial reactions. ]

Wh... What happened?!

[ And where the FUCK is Maya UHHHHH ]

[ and, having been delivered on horseback, still crying with relief, it's janis!

She dismounts Fidella successfully and just sort of. Stumbles forward into the pile. ]

Holy shit. Holy shit. Holy fuck.

[mayavericks]

As -- am I. I... [She swallows.] I wasn't thinking, after everything. So many people were dead, all I could think was that I wanted to destroy him for what he forced me to do.

And everyone was so desperate not to vote, I --[When she laughs, it's a bitter sound.]

I might have been trying to rile you up. Just a little. To make you angry enough not to show me mercy.

[And with that, she's going to bury herself into Peregrine's hair until --

Boy does she perk up when she hears Janis's voice.]

You did it. You beautiful, beautiful woman.

[She is getting the clumsiest kiss ever.]

[comeandfindme]

If you ever do that again...

[ Peregrine doesn't know what she'd threaten. It's become painfully obvious that the idea of being without Maya drives her to...really, really stupid extremes. She would wonder when that happened, but it doesn't really matter.

She'd never been in love before this place. Now, she's in love several times over. Maybe this is just what it does to a person.

She lets that trail off and doesn't say anything more, running her fingers through Maya's hair. Looking at her and drinking the sight in, letting it inspire both hurt and love, not pushing one or the other down.

And then there's Janis. ]

What...did you do?

[ yes, maya's kissing her. yes, she still wants an answer. ]

[fourbutts]

[ Janis... doesn't have the energy for any kind of deep thought right now. This is both because what she actually did left her exhausted, and also because she's seeing Maya Tendo for the first time since she thought she would never see Maya Tendo again, and after a lot of silent brainstorming how she might track down the giraffe if things come to that, this is all quite a lot!

Priority goes to the kiss, which she returns as best she can. ]

I sure did. Uh...

[ Ain't that just a question. ]

I'm a narrator. I get to uh. Change the scene, I guess.

[mayavericks]

No more. No more leaving. No more broken promises.

[She's doing her best to wrap her arms around both of her girlfriends.]

You are both... so amazing.

[comeandfindme]

[ Peregrine doesn't understand narrator stuff. The statement gets her to...think about something, from last night. Something she'll want to talk about them with.

But, for now, when Maya wraps her arms around them, Per holds her, holds both of them. She doesn't want to let either of them out of her sight. Once she has the supplies, she'll start patching Maya up, as best she can. But, for now... ]

It's okay to feel a little touch of the sun.

[fourbutts]

[ Janis is going to just. Cry. She's going to cry. And hold both of her girlfriends as best she can, and try very hard not to pass out. Cass can probably carry her to bed, right? If not, Ben can!

She doesn't have more of that song to contribute, but she has one of her own. ]

I'd rather be me
I'd rather be me
I'd rather be me when I'm with you

[mayavericks]

[Like Janis, Maya doesn't really have much to add from her song. So she simply sings, soft as she can --]

Somehow, the island continues to float
