This seems like a more final prompt than you were talking about a post or so ago! But I prefer it for prose than a four-line verse so I'm happy with it :)

The final days
"You need to leave now," said the tall man who Isobella Bonfontaine had decided had to be the Green Lightbulb. "The Sphere of Annihilation has started shrinking and will consume the entire Council of Nastiness Headquarters before long."
"You were searching for Sylvestra though," said Isobella, but even as she spoke she was gathering her few things and moving towards the door.
"She, and Dr Septopus, seem to be long gone," said the Green Lightbulb with a faint smile, "and so, perhaps, it is time that I joined them."

Greg - not exactly a celebration of the ending, but more of a simple acknowledgement. It seemed fitting :)

Oof, speaking of bittersweet. Nice to see a proper ending, of sorts, for this group of characters. Though obviously I would not be unhappy if they turned up again elsewhere :)
