Daniel Rivers

Okay, Poppy Valley. Let's do this, for the last time. My name is Daniel Rivers. I used to go to Morning Glory Academy, but everything changed when I came face to face with the paranormal, and discovered powers I could never dream of. This is how I became a hero. #TheLastMessagePV

"Listen. You and I put on a hell of a fireworks show to send this world off. But it's time to face the music." "Show's over. For both of us." #JourneysEndPV (END)

""This is sheer madness! Do you understand what you're doing to your entire world?"" "Sure I do. Who knows, maybe someday the world will piece itself back together. But neither of us are gonna be around to see it." #JourneysEndPV

"This world is going to fragment itself. Tiny pieces of the people and the stories who lived here will drift apart through the big emptiness. You can't control that, can you?" ""But you-"" "Won't survive. Or you. I told you Poppy Valley was graduating from you." #JourneysEndPV

"You're right. I'm not strong enough to beat you. But you know what I can do? I can smash that Tree, and break your "experiment" into a thousand pieces." ""You're insane! Do you know what that would do to you?!"" "Correction...to us. Only two left in this world." #JourneysEndPV

""Daniel Rivers, what are you planning? You couldn't be... NO! You can't! Have you lost your mind, Daniel Rivers?!"" "Heh...maybe. But I've spent a long time thinkin' about it...playing this in my head over and over, for months. This is the only thing I could think of."

""Is that all the hero could muster? Heh...don't think...that you've changed anything. I am only one limb. The experiment will continue regardless of me."" "No, I know...whew...that's why I wasn't aiming for you. Haah....I just needed...to weaken it...enough..." #JourneysEndPV

He swung the bat. #JourneysEndPV

"I'm not RUNNING AWAY FROM THIS!" "Now's the time! This is the day we all graduate- From YOU!" #JourneysEndPV

When the chips are down, few people can really do it. But even so... #JourneysEndPV

""You have exceeded your parameters. The only appropriate action now is to remove you. You will not be needed for the next iteration of the Poppy Valley experiment. Goodbye, Daniel Rivers."" #JourneysEndPV

"Ack!" ""Your farce ends here. It was entertaining watching you play hero, but the truth is that you were always within Our parameters. You never had any chance of overturning Their judgement, or affecting the outcome of Their plot structure."" #JourneysEndPV

"Thank you all for listening. I'm proud to represent our class as we take our first steps into the future. Now, it's time to begin the closing ceremonies. We've waited long enough for the future to begin." "TRANSFORM!" #JourneysEndPV

"For me, and all my classmates, Poppy Valley is our story. So I hope you'll all join me in standing proud for everything you've accomplished, every day you lived, everything you grew into. This moment is ours." #JourneysEndPV

"Through it all, though, we kept going. We had each other's backs, and we grew alongside each other. We transformed this world of horror and despair into our own story. We did it again and again, getting a little better at it every time."

"I didn't just find myself in Poppy Valley. I made myself. And I hope the same goes for all my classmates. Every day was another test, another trial by fire. To live in a place like this, we had to grow beyond ourselves, do things we never imagined before." #JourneysEndPV

"Poppy Valley is a weird place. It's full of monsters, conspiracies, big corporations, and despair. But in the middle of all that- there's hope. I found good people here. More than that, I found myself here. I'm not just the geek getting thrown in lockers anymore." #JourneysEndPV

"Okay, Poppy Valley. Thank you for being here today. Representing the graduating class, I'm Daniel Rivers. Before we all go our separate ways, I'd like to say a few words." #JourneysEndPV

Thank you, to everyone who helped me get to where I am. I can't tell you how grateful I am for all the time I got to spend with you, the good and bad. But, summer's long gone, and a new year's already starting. I think our graduation's overdue. So, let's get to it. #JourneysEndPV

Even though it feels like it's been ages since I was just a regular person, walking and talking and going to school just like everybody else, I've never forgotten. So long to those days, and thanks for all the memories. There were dark days, but there were so many good times.

So, here we are. Time is out of order. Seconds stretch into weeks. A whole summer passes by in the blink of an eye, while we remain in place, hardly moving. I've been mid-kick since January of this year, and the funny thing is, I started to think that maybe it was better this way
