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. ]]

It was mostly a mirror of the living side
Except the thieves' den was blocked off so I couldn't make any jewelry
Which was rude


[His stress relief...]

And the gelateria wasn't exploded

Yuri and Huaisang thought it might be necessary.

[ He just tossed the bombs, it's fine. ]

It was a little regrettable in the end.

[ The poor gelato... ]
gemuinemanagement: (of indignation)

What did the ice cream ever do to you
vogelfrei: (smile; eyes closed)

[personal profile] vogelfrei 2021-07-19 11:04 pm (UTC)(link)
It was a great ally, actually. What had to happen was a truly regrettable betrayal on my part.

[ Should he maybe not make deadpan jokes about his role in Hamelin's game? MAYBE. ]
gemuinemanagement: (let's type words)

Heinous
Next you'll be blowing up cookies


[It is kind of funny though...]
vogelfrei: (smile; charming as always)

[personal profile] vogelfrei 2021-07-21 10:19 pm (UTC)(link)
Now that's just slander. Even I have lines I will not cross.

[ True in morality and sweets alike, actually. ]
gemuinemanagement: (people come and people go I know)

[personal profile] gemuinemanagement 2021-07-21 10:23 pm (UTC)(link)
Can you really know someone in two months
Can you ever really know that they won't blow up cookies
vogelfrei: (sinister; oh so what?)

[personal profile] vogelfrei 2021-07-25 10:13 pm (UTC)(link)
[ ... what a statement to make, considering the wild rise and fall of trust and alliances in the last few weeks. Considering how many of them will take human surprise packages along with them now... ]

Sometimes you have to take a gamble on a person.
gemuinemanagement: (and pulse to pulse)

That's true



Are we still making bad jokes about exploding desserts
Or are we talking seriously
vogelfrei: (smile; boyish charm)

[personal profile] vogelfrei 2021-07-27 12:23 am (UTC)(link)
Can't it be both, if what we're saying holds up either way?
gemuinemanagement: (you're so worth it)

[personal profile] gemuinemanagement 2021-07-27 12:25 am (UTC)(link)
In that case
There are a few things I'm sure about
Even if it's only been two months


[There are people he trusts here, foolish as that is.]
vogelfrei: (sinister; smile; behind these eyes)

[personal profile] vogelfrei 2021-07-30 12:42 am (UTC)(link)
I'd call that foolish.

[ ... ]

But then, I am staying with people from those two months as well. Aira Niluc impaired all our judgements.
gemuinemanagement: (she makes the sound)

[personal profile] gemuinemanagement 2021-07-30 12:46 am (UTC)(link)
Maybe I'm foolish
But I'm in good company


[He's including McGillis in that.]
