"It's done. I've fought monsters, and stared into the abyss staring back at me. I've seen worse, I've seen greater, I've done greater. I've made things, made people you wouldn't believe. I've traveled the worlds, seen ships fire off the shoulders off the Orion. Seen sea beams glitter in the moonlight, dousing the Tannhäuser gates. And all those moments, all that power, will be lost in time, like blood in the rain. And all I have ever made is all I will ever. Even this speech, wrenched from the mouth of an artificial man.
"This life, this power, drains from me as I fall into this abyss, to be rent asunder. My mind lost to eternity, my power...To whom will my power go? To the strongest. The big fish eating the small, in an endless cycle. And why? This is violence! Why are there so many worlds consumed in violence, no purpose but this endless cycle of blood and blade, spell and souls? How many have suffered, for the base amusement of some cruel gods? How many have I killed? Does it matter? I was always cut down to the level of the field.
"Will I return? If I do, will I be the same? Does anything I will do matter? ...Does anything I have done matter?"

"It...it is finished. Applaud, friends; the tragedy is over."

"...Rosebud."

((Okay, I plagiarized a fair number of dying words--and one famed quote which wasn't dying words--but it's not fair to only rip off one guy. Good luck finding them all.))

Woohoo! Now to put my own cha...wait a sec.

They may notice that there's a siren in the garden. And some mannequins.

((Siren as in "blaring thing" or as in "bird-person"?))
Either way, Calvin investigates!

His room is full of positive notes as was noted.

He analyzes the handwriting and subtext.
And gorram it kj, is that all you can call them? That's awfully vague.

It looks like one of those nuke testing neighborhoods. Like in Indiana Jones or CoD.

"I've got a bad feeling about this..."

Will sighs and goes to his room.

Woohoo! Now to put my own character as the eleventh page!
