we are not having a memorial service for someone who is not dead

It occurred to me that a certain Event will tie into the stuff just prior to the planned faction destruction junction and that Event may have some significant character-specific repercussions, that character being Seth and anyone else who wants to be affected by the Event in question, which is this:

Daniel is going to die.

But don't worry! He does it all the time! Really, he does! More specifically, he's going to die and then Ascend, which means he'll still exist on a higher plane as a glowy wavelength of celestial intent until he can figure out what the heck's up with this wacky universe. I wrote a thing about Ascension a gazillion years ago (beware the spoilers) and what that entails, but obviously there's going to be a lot of power-nerfing that I can explain in more detail once the thing happens. There's gonna be a fair amount of build to this point, but basically the idea is that once Andrew and Co. break the Rift it's going to throw a Rift-tantrum and Daniel's gonna be part of the collateral damage.

This is all pretty subject to change, but it will in all likelihood happen juuuust before the faction teardown begins. He will still be interact-able once he's dead and Ascend-ified, but if you have anyone you want Daniel to meet and be affected by his death or just encounter in a regular human way, it'd probably be a good idea to do that while he's still...you know, around.

It's a tentative, flexible plan currently. Though we do still need someone to tell Seth "hey um sorry so about that guy you like?? he's dead sorry bro" so he can be upset about that

To be fair it's miraculous he's gone this long without something like that happening

Daniel won't even be mad I bet he'll just be annoyed about the whole thing

Maybe he can give Andrew a reassuring wave from the higher plane in another universe who knows??
