EPILOGUE

[faentasy]

Epilogue

After all is said and done, in the wake of the void and sprinting through one final door.

You come out into light. Sunlight actually, a backyard in what appears to be a typical suburban town, if you're familiar with those. The sun shines cheerfully overheard, blissfully unaware of what everyone has went through. And this is everyone, as faces you haven't seen in weeks tumble out in one pile from a basement door.

Happy Saturday, everyone.

There's plenty of reunions and catching up to do, but you've utterly left Aira Niluc behind you after seven long weeks. And through the window of the house which looks like it has seen a better seen better days is one wall mural that reads "And they all lived Happily Ever After".

[[ Happy Golden End everyone, you've earned it! There's still the matter of sorting out where to next, but everyone is whole and alive and without button eyes. Using the knowledge from the object Phil had and the beldam's magic, they can also now world hop only one side effect...the portal that opens to everyone else's worlds here? Is made entirely of pixie dust. Everyone's powers will also restore fully over the course of the next few hours. ]]

[scythegun]

[Watched over, like he's some kind of parental figure— oh wait.]

Your brother seemed like he needed someone to look out for him - though I wouldn't say I did much more than anyone else here. I'm glad I was able to help him~

[incompletely]

[ Tenn's casually walking around when he sees Riku talking to Yeager.

You know, it never really occurred to him that this is a thing that might happen, but it sure is. And quite frankly, Tenn thinks that it's going to be hilarious. So he'll go ahead and butt in: ]

Is Riku being nice to you, Yeager-san? Shall I tell him about the time you got me to play horrible music with you in the ballroom?

[warmthbringer]

Eh?! Of course I'm being nice to Yeager-san. I was just thanking him for watching over you!

[ He's just a little sniffly nbd. It's fine. ]

Wait, Tenn-nii and Yeager-san played music together? I wish I could have heard that!

[scythegun]

[Hey, Tenn, and no Riku, you really don't........]

It was a beautiful symphony that I'm sure you would have appreciated.

[so anyway he's gonna shitpost, because there is no escape.]

[incompletely]

[ riku deserves the truth!!! ]

What are you talking about?! It was the worst thing I've heard in my life, and you dragged me into it.

[ He looks right at Riku. ]

It was atrocious. He also gave me your photobook in the middle of a casino party!

[warmthbringer]

[ There he is. The idol that will surpass Zero. What would Kujo-san say, Tenn??? Huh???

.... actually, Riku would pay money to see Yeager meet Kujo-san-- ]

Ahaha, Tenn-nii playing bad music... I can't imagine it. But I still wish I could have seen! It meant Tenn-nii was having fun, right?

[ He looks so happy when he says it... ]

Huh? A casino party, really? Yeager-san, did you gamble my photobook?

[ ...... that's probably not correct, riku-- ]

[scythegun]

That's precisely what it meant, ja!

[I'M SURE TENN-NII WOULD ARGUE THIS, BUT TOO LATE.]

Oh no, no, I would never dream of gambling something so valuable. [maybe if he was getting something good out of it. shhhhh.] I merely wanted to make sure it ended up in good hands~

[At the worst possible time. I'm so sorry, Tenn, you deserve better than this???]

[incompletely]

I have been putting up with this man for weeks, Riku.

[ HE IS JOKING, HE IS VERY FOND OF YEAGER, BUT LISTEN.... ]

He and Alexei-san also made a throne out of a giant gummy bear Jack-san found a while back. We all ended up burning it and blowing it up. ... I won't lie. It was a good time.

[ Everyone went apeshit. It was wonderful. ]

[warmthbringer]

Ah, thank you, Yeager-san! I bet Tenn-nii was happy to get it. Eheh, it seems like Yeager-san has brought out a new side of Tenn-nii...

[ bless you riku you're so earnest ]

Wow... It seems like you guys had some pretty interesting times. We blew stuff up on our side, too--the palace over there! But I would've liked to see a gummy bear do that... It seems like it's the type of thing that'd make a huge mess, but be really fun!

[scythegun]

[RIKU IS TOO PURE FOR THIS WORLD AND EVERY TAG TENN DIES A LITTLE MORE INSIDE.

Anyway, he'll wink at Tenn for that first comment!! It's been weeks of hell but you totally enjoyed the chaos, don't lie!!]

Oh, it certainly did! But we were very careful and made sure no one got hurt by flying, burning gummy bear pieces!

[this is all 100% fine, don't worry about it.]

I'm pleased you all got to blow something up as well! Did you have fun?

[incompletely]

[ The entirety of this tag is Tenn staring into the void and wishing it swallowed him up too. ]

[warmthbringer]

Ah, that's good! Being hit by fiery gummy bear pieces sounds really dangerous...

[ this is so stupid. ]

Mm, I did! Ah, at the time, it was pretty scary... but we managed alright. Better yet, we're all together again... so I'm glad it happened!

[ .... FINALLY NOTICES HIS BROTHER'S STARE IG ]

Tenn-nii, are you okay?

[scythegun]

[RIKU HONEY....]

I'm pleased you all managed to join us!

[He's trying so goddamn hard not to knifecat at Tenn, but it's too late!!!]

Ja, are you feeling okay?

[incompletely]

[ HE HAS REGRETS. ]

...I'm fine.

[ he isn't. ]

I'd ask you not to corrupt my brother, but I think the other side corrupted him enough as is. So, since we're all in agreement that blowing things up is fun, we should do that again sometime down the line.

[ ???????? ]

[warmthbringer]

I'm not corrupted!

[ OKAY. ]

Ah, maybe I said a couple rude things... but it was all justified! [ WAS IT....

He nods, though. ]

Mm, we definitely should! Maybe we could bring some of our friends along, Tenn-nii.

[ oh my god ]

[scythegun]

I will always be delighted to assist with explosions~ It would be rather entertaining to meet all your friends as well!

[just a casual meet and greet involving explosions, a totally normal thing.]

[incompletely]

No, we are absolutely leaving them out of this!

[ PLEASE. DO NOT DRAG MORE IDOLS INTO OUR EVERYTHING, RIKU. ]

And we are not blowing up anything in our world either. We'll have to go to Yeager-san's for that, I think. Or come back here, if we can.

[ the twins just casually drop down into yeager's cursed mansion ]

[warmthbringer]

Thank you, Yeager-san!

[ momo and yuki would be down for explosions though ]

Ah, that's a good point! It would be really bad if we did it in our world, huh? It would be like that story Nagi keeps telling about how they foiled a terrorist plot, but we'd be the bad guys this time.

[ RIKU JUST SAYS THIS LIKE IT'S COMPLETELY NORMAL. ]

Even though we can't bring our friends along, though, you should come visit us some time, Yeager-san! You can watch Tenn-nii and me perform with our groups!

[scythegun]

[you mean you DON'T want to be the villains???]

I don't think mine is the best world for explosions... or for casual visits either. If you do want to come by at any point, we'll have to arrange it in advance~

[Partially because his world is very dangerous and full of monsters, partially because he's always on the move and finding him will be difficult, and partially because he lives in the middle of nowhere and will need to send his goons out so you guys don't realize he's leading the assassins' guild.]

But I would like to see you two again - and seeing your performances would be quite fun! I imagine the two of you would get along quite well with Droite and Gauche as well~

[do not be fooled, droite is exactly as much of a headache as yeager.]

[incompletely]

...Maybe it's better that you come to our world, then. Just don't blow anything up, please.

[ No goons, no monsters, no assassins (much)!! Just idols all the way down. ]

You can bring Droite and Gauche with you, too. Maybe they'd enjoy seeing us perform.

[ oh god. oh god tenn. ]

[warmthbringer]

[ They have absolutely no idea. Horrible. ]

Mm, you should! Then Tenn-nii can show off why everyone loves him and TRIGGER so much. I know you'll be dazzled--you all will be instant fans, I just know it.

[scythegun]

Understood~

[He can be better behaved then he was in this game!! Probably!!!]

I'm sure they would enjoy it - and I know I will! It sounds like TRIGGER is a very big part of your life, and I do want to see you perform when you're a bit less stressed!

[You know. Given the piano incident and "summoning Hamelin during a boss battle" were a bit much!!!]

I would like to see you perform as well, though! [Directed to Riku, of course.] Your brother has had nothing but nice things to say about you, and I'm sure it would be delightful!

[incompletely]

Ah, yeah. I'm going to sleep as much as I can, but I know that I'll have to get right back to work when I get home... My fans are waiting for me, after all.

[ can you stop thinking about your fans for ONE SECOND kujo tenn.

But when Yeager mentions the whole thing about Tenn saying nice things, Tenn feels like shriveling up on the inside. Just a little. ]

[warmthbringer]

Tenn-nii!! I'm sure everyone would understand if you took a break!

[ FUSS FUSS. But when Yeager mentions Tenn saying nice things...

Riku's expression is brighter than the sun. ]

He did? What kinds of things?

[scythegun]

[ah yes, time to embarrass tenn!!!! excellent, just what he lives for.]

Well~ He did tell me a bit about how happy he was that the two of you got to spend time together here! It sounds as though you were able to discuss quite a few things here - and that it brought you two closer! He's had nothing but praise for you this whole time!

[sorry tenn, did you think you'd drop in to embarrass him???]
