[A glimpse of another potentially familiar face. At the very least, one in species recognizable to those who paid attention to that broadcast.
Who sweeps a hand over what seems to be a haphazard pile of collected items. Crystals from space, stone eggs, cans of gasoline, golden coins, flint shards, and energy cores.]
For the price, we obey. As promised.
Home.
For the price of a home.
[The sound of a voice- unidentifiable in its distance, but- deity?]
Just use them how you will- you know what we need of you.

Tokyo. Perhaps that Tokyo you were just in- ah. Perhaps, indeed, isn't that one of the mecha seen about earlier?
Not any longer.

Hello, children.
[And then, Sabine, smiling and so very, very kind- yes? As if you didn't just watch all of that. Maybe she doesn't know you did. Were you supposed to see that?]
We of the Deity Office would like to thank you for all your hard work that you put in to reconnoitering and gathering what we asked of you. It all went to a good cause, of course. The generators will be back and running tomorrow, and as we stated before... be prepared for a trip home, alright?
One lucky seed gets to be the first.
The others get to rest well with a job well done, and the least sacrifices needed with the least blood on citizen hands. Let us celebrate.
[ooc; Now that it's Saturday, your City will be returning to it's regularly scheduled stop! With some lingering side effects briefly ala Fourth Wall Day! Don't forget to check your last minute details here OR fill handle wishes here! Stay tuned for more wrap-up!]
