Through the Living Hope Posted March 14 Author Posted March 14 2 hours ago, The Stormfather said: Mark was still off a little bit away from the heartwarming family reunion, fidgeting with his Shardblade, manifesting it as different mini figures and practicing animating them. He felt that he should say something, talk to Marewill about…well, the fact that the two of them had almost died several times. But it was nothing new to them. For once, neither he nor any of the voices within him had anything to say. Until he had to sneeze. He tried to stifle it, but it came out raucously. Uhhhh…. ”Excuse me,” he said, embarrassed. He grabbed a tissue. Mare smiled. The edge dancer with the machine guns.. embarrassed by a sneeze.

Quote I'm gonna say that he has those guns he stole from the Marksmen in the back of his house or something now, it seems unlikely that he would abandon them. He would have asked if Marewill needed anything, but doing that with Tinker and her whole family standing there would probably be a bit out of place. In fact, it was a bit out of place that he was there in the first place. But, considering the whole almost-dying-several-times thing, it was probably important. His mind went back to the days when it had started, when the games were just beginning again. That was probably what had empassioned those who opposed their rebellion to come for them. Maj... He had died honorably. He had died sticking to his values. Mark was glad once again that their crazy escape from the Marksmen had worked. While it had been pretty messy, they were both alive, so were Adris and all of the Steeles, and everyone who lived around them. Nobody but Marewill and Mark had been hurt. Well, nobody but Mare, Mark, and all the people Mark killed. But they started it. Mark made an excuse about needing a toilet and stepped out of the room. He paced down the hallway, memories thick in his head. it's done, he thought. But that was what he had thought when the rebellion ended. Or, further back, what he had thought when he had ended the conflict between the Rusted and the Steeled, by killing Sereine. It won't ever be done. He thought instead. There might always be another conflict, another war another fight another person trying to end the things I have started there will always be madness insanity and humans but I. Will. Remember the ones that came before. He went back into the room a few minutes later, head finally clearing. I'm ready for whatever is next. Quote entire character development arc in four seconds but whatev this gives 'end of part one start of part two' vibes 1

While Mark was out of the room, after a few moments, Marewill quietly said to Tinker, “I want to marry you.” He looked at her with a confused smile on his face. “Isn’t that.. kind of the whole point of being engaged?” ”Well, yeah, but like… right now.” He blinked. “I… Mare, I want that too, but we have to wait at least a bit. For one thing, I doubt the city would let us get a marriage certificate with your injury being this bad, and for another, they just started working on our house.” She sighed. “Yeah… yeah, you’re right.” He smiled and kissed her head. “I appreciate the sentiment, though.” ”As soon as we can?” ”Promise.”

Also maybe we should timeskip to somewhen else because this sequence seems kinda done

Mark gets very drunk at the wedding and wastes a bit of his stormlight burning it off but otherwise is plot irrelevant for x amount of time. Edited March 17 by The Stormfather

Tinker and Marewill spent the next week in their newly constructed house alone. At some point during that week, Crocus contacted Mark and asked him to come to her house.

Because most of what he had been working on had been related to the Marksmen harassing his friends, the Steeles, who had now stopped, he had found himself with a ton of free time for the first few days. Now, though, because of his Shardblade, he had found a simple job at a different construction site where they needed to cut away some stone to dig out the basement of a new building. With all of the new development in the city, still going this long after the revolution, it wasn't too difficult for someone like him to find temporary work. He, once again, knocked on the door. Quote I swear Mark has knocked on this door like four hundred thousand times during this Rp which is realllllyyy funny to me for some reason idk xD

Water, food…”

We weren’t able to save them.” She took a breath. “When Falr got that Gamemaker, Mr. Forrest, to agree to let the victor live here, he also got him to agree to send them back here. What’s left of them. Their families are here. We can bury them in free soil.”
