Haley's funeral

**Content Warning:** *This page may contain depictions of death and abuse.*

Haley's funeral is an event which takes place during the finale of Season 1 of Fable SMP during *Last Rites* (Part 1&2).

The funeral was organized by a freshly uncorrupted Sherbert as a memorial service, partially due to their guilt over murdering Haley while corrupted by Enderian. Formal dress was required for the event, which took place at the base of the central tree at spawn. The funeral service featured eulogies for Haley by Sherbert, Momboo, Jamie and Rae, culminating with Sherbert reading Haley's titular book, Last Rites. Whilst Sherbert is reading the book, the funeral is crashed by Centross, who ultimately blows up the entire cast along with the tree, ending Season 1.

## Funeral Speeches

### Sherbert

Haley Memorial Speech:

Welcome everyone, thank you all so much for coming here today to honor and remember Haley. I'd like to start off today by saying some words, and then if anyone else would like to speak they may do so.

Haley was one of my friends. She was one of the most confident and outgoing people I've ever met on this server. She wasn't afraid to tell me if I was doing something wrong, and she wasn't afraid to stand up for me when I needed it. She kept to herself, and treasured the bonds she had.

I think that many of you never got the chance to really meet Haley, and... I'm sorry for that. Hopefully this memorial can help because she really was someone that will be missed.

And I miss her. I've missed her everyday since I've known she was gone and, I'm so sorry for what I did.

She loved to read. If she was here today she would be so excited about the libraries we've found, and maybe, from somewhere she's watching us all find them. I like to think that she's somewhere happy now, somewhere away from all the chaos and problems that we face here.

I like to think that her cats are with her, her many many cats. I like to think that she's finally found a place to call home, as hers is no longer here. And I like to think that she's proud of us for pushing through all the pain.

When I look back at our friendship, it feels like something stronger and deeper than it looks. It feels like we spent a lifetime together, making each other laugh and having fun together. And I'm sorry that many of you didn't get the chance to have that too.

I just wish that she could be here to see how far we've all come. Because, look at us. Despite our differences and faults we've kept pushing through, and I know deep in my heart that wherever she is now, she's proud of us.

I'd like to open the floor now to anyone else who'd like to come up and say a few words.

### Momboo

For Haley.

I don't know exactly what to say here. I didn't think something like this could happen, especially not to Haley.

When I first met Haley, it wasn't under the best circumstances. She was in really bad shape, seriously injured from a group of Enderman who attacked her one night. I saw her body fall out of the forest, on the brink of death, and quickly took her inside.

She healed up after a day or two, her white streak appearing shortly after she woke up. She stayed with me for a few days, and throughout her healing process was determined to get back out as soon as possible. In between sips of tea and soup, she'd tell me stories of her journey; how she left her old home to settle somewhere new, how she visited villages and smiling faces along the way.

Once healed, she set out but soon realized the home she was searching for was right here. She was one of the first people to build a life here, creating a house for herself in the forest, and helping me with my crops and animals. She was stubborn, always steadfast in getting the work done.

We spent our days together, picking at berry bushes and rolling through the grass, and at night we'd fall asleep next to each other after hours of talking. She was kind and gentle, and would often read me to sleep on warm summer nights, laying underneath the stars.

As my kids grew, our friendship grew apart. I became busy with helping my kids build their own homes, their own lives, and with everyone else moving in, we both just didn't have time for each other anymore. Our nights and days together exchanged for friendly waves in passing.

I wanted to try getting closer to her again, right before everything happened. I missed her. Maybe if I was still with her, this wouldn't have happened. Maybe I could have saved her.

I know a lot of you here didn't get the chance to know her. I wish everyone here could have at least talked to her once. What I do know is that despite everything, she would be happy to see us all gathered here. She should be remembered for the person she was, not for what happened to her.

### Rae

Thank you all for joining us here today, and I appreciate Sherbert for putting this together as a place for us to gather and honor Haley.

I did not get the opportunity to get to know her, and I think that I will forever be something I regret. From what I have gotten to learn from Momboo, Jamie, and Sherbert, she was a good friend. She was smart and she was compassionate.

Before her capture, Haley was on her way to warn us about the tree being rigged. She was brave enough to speak out when she knew something was wrong even at the ultimate cost. She trusted that we could help, and I am so grateful to be with all of you.

You who have done so much to help each other. Who came together, despite the challenges, to bring back our friends and to now, come back together as we try to heal our community.

I have never been more proud to call you all my friends, and I promise to honor Haley and always do my best to live up to the trust she had in us.
