GORDON: I- I almost forgot. Sorry it’s not the- not the best, I’m still not used to...
BUBBY: YOU’RE OUTSIDE???
TOMMY: Holy shit!!
GORDON: Huh?..
GORDON: Oh my god!!!
BENREY: How?
BENREY: You should come over, then! Celebrate with us!
DARNOLD: Yeah! Definitely! It’ll be loads of fun!
GORDON: Really?
BUBBY: Fuck yeah!! Let’s go, then! Gotta make fun of all the dorks over yonder!
FORZEN: Can’t you be nice for once?
TOMMY: No, haven’t you- you met him?
HAROLD: You can’t make friends if you scare them all off, you know!
[The group heads towards Darnold’s house, but Harold looks back at Gordon’s. He smiles and waves at a window, a familiar shadow watching from within, before turning back to join his friends.]
[You feel at peace, suddenly, knowing things are taken care of, said and done. Gordon is safe; he has been this whole time, you know. Maybe you should stop hovering over him so much and find something else to do.]
[... They enjoy their party, and they’ll enjoy their time here. Together. Out of harm’s way. You should enjoy your time too. You feel yourself fading; is this it?... Are you going to a better place, or simply- just another? Whatever the case, we’ll keep an ear out for you. Thank you for visiting, and have a wonderful afterlife.]
-- END OF THIS^ --
Geordie, look! Benny's here, we're all here! You're not alone anymore, buddy!
[Tommy pokes his head into the play room.]
TOMMY: Any luck up here Benr-
TOMMY: Oh- oh my god!! Gordon!! You’re back!!
[Tommy runs back out onto the landing, and Gordon and Benrey both can hear him calling for the rest of the group to come upstairs.]
[Gordon hands a drawing to Darnold; it’s not the cleanest, but he’s happy enough with it. The page can be seem through his hand, but it’s hard to tell he’s transparent at all without looking close. The drawing is of the six of them dressed up, each based on a different class from D&D.]
GORDON: I tried my best..! I had no idea about your birthday n stuff, until you said.. But- yeah!
DARNOLD: Thank you, I appreciate it. But how-?
TOMMY: Did coming out here hurt at all or..?
GORDON: Well.. It- it used to, but... It didn’t that time, so...
HAROLD: Do you know why?
GORDON: ... I haven’t .. uh.... mnm...
FORZEN: What?
GORDON: I h- I haven’t tried to come out in a long, time.
GORDON: When the house stopped attacking I never tried to go out because I was afraid it’d still hurt, but...
BENREY: You've been able to come out the whole time, then?
GORDON: I guess so! Oops.
GORDON: W-wait!!! I forgot!!
DARNOLD: Huh?
Happy birthday Darnold!!!! I hope you get everything you want!!!!!
DARNOLD: Yeah!! I’ll tell you guys all about it when I come over tomorrow.
GORDON: You’re not coming back?
DARNOLD: Nah, some of the guys are staying kinda late...
BUBBY: Doin’ nerd shit.
FORZEN: Shut up.
HAROLD: Darnold, isn’t the party starting at four?
DARNOLD: Huh? Yeah.
DAROLD: OH, shoot! Okay, uh-
TOMMY: We’ll see you later, Gordon!!
BENREY: I’ll come over before I go home! See you, Gordon!!
[The boys start to file back out of the house, Gordon standing by to watch and wave goodbye.]
yo wtf furryzen???? nice - ghost that definitely does not have a cat fursona
HAROLD: I think we all should have a fursona of our very own.
FORZEN: Can we talk about this later??
TOMMY: Forzen’s right. We’re here for- for Gordon! I’m going to check the living room...
[The morning is early, still, and quiet. Six familiar faces approach the house, chatting as they head toward the porch.]
BUBBY: mm.. Why’d we all have to come again?
DARNOLD: I wasn’t able to come as early as I wanted, then everyone offered to come, and... it took you all about as long to get here as I needed to wait.
BUBBY: Ugh...
FORZEN: What, tired?
BUBBY: Shut the hell up... Sore loser...
BENREY: Huh?
FORZEN: He lost a bet over who could stay up later.
BUBBY: Won. You went to sleep before I did.
FORZEN: And who’s paying for it now, hm?
BUBBY: You are. You owe me coffee.
DARNOLD: Good grief...
TOMMY: Are we- are we going to look for Gordon or.. Keep bickering about being tired?
HAROLD: We shouldn’t keep him waiting. It wouldn’t be fair.
BENREY: Yeah.. He usually doesn’t take this long, so.. He’s gotta be back by now, right?
TOMMY: ... I-.. I hope so...
