EPILOGUE

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. ]]

I wondered about that too, but... it seems to be fine?

[Somehow.......]

I wonder what they were supposed to be for...

I'm...not sure, but I'm glad it helped us make our way over here. It's good to see that everybirdie's safe now.

[ He was certainly worrying a lot at the end there. And to think he called C-ta Chicken Little. ]
laytorest: ([Smile] There’s no sign)

[personal profile] laytorest 2021-07-18 07:12 am (UTC)(link)
...Yes. We really did manage to get a happily ever after, didn't we?
libirdian: (sky watching)

[personal profile] libirdian 2021-07-18 05:15 pm (UTC)(link)
Despite everything thrown at us. [ Especially at the end there, wow. ] It doesn't quite feel real yet.
laytorest: ([Embarrassed] “Sorry; sorry; I’ll let)

[personal profile] laytorest 2021-07-18 08:28 pm (UTC)(link)
It almost feels like a dream. ...But that's what I thought when we first came here, too.

You could say that again... Part of me wonders if I'll just wake up in the library again. But I don't think my imagination would ever think of a place like this.

I definitely would never imagine a place like this!

[Her imagination goes wild but even in the cases of murder thoughts it isn't nearly this creative!]
laytorest: ([Smile] There’s no sign)

[personal profile] laytorest 2021-07-19 03:15 am (UTC)(link)
But... I am glad it's real. Even though it was difficult, I got to meet some very important people, who helped me to realize very important things, too.
libirdian: (sky watching)

[personal profile] libirdian 2021-07-20 01:06 am (UTC)(link)
I haven't been able to talk to many people for a long time, so...circumstances aside, I'm happy to have met everybirdie as well. It's like I've met more of my family again.

[ Something like that would've been far beyond his comprehension months ago. So much has changed since then. ]

Thank you, Miss Yor, for always doing your best to look out for us.

[!!!!]

[personal profile] laytorest 2021-07-20 02:06 am (UTC)(link)
[Aaaaaaaaaaa]

I-I'm just glad I could do something this time...
libirdian: (someone calling)

[personal profile] libirdian 2021-07-20 02:23 am (UTC)(link)
[ He'll just tilt his head to the side, a little confused. ]

But you always do?

B-but I failed to protect you when we were alive...
