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. ]]

[ That natural 'we', he can't fight it. He can only argue to himself that it is in his best interest to stay with people who care for him enough to be a resource, until he can finally return triumphant... but even then, even when he does, he would offer them a home with him. ]

I will enjoy riding with you at a reasonable time of day, certainly.

... do I want to ask about the other horses or is this a Jack secret better kept secret?
begrimed: (The answers are buried in me)

Midnight is reasonable, right? [ Hamelin that's not even day anymore. ]

Ahahaha, it's not Jack's secret he heard it from Alexei? The horses in his world are like giant lizards or something?

[ He'd love to call them dinosaurs but those prob don't exist in ozmafia world. ]
vogelfrei: (other; idek what this is)

[ Midnight... eh, fair enough. McGillis gives a defeated shrug and nod at that. At least night time riding does have a dramatic aesthetic he can appreciate.

But also... ]


... giant what.... No, no, regular horses will be just fine, I understand. There ought to be enough worlds with those.

Presumably, we could even make our own like B did, now.

[ These new powers are still baffling but he's beginning to try and wrap his mind around the uses. ]
begrimed: (They send me away)

I'd like to see that. You think Jack's would wind up looking like him? [ What this means for a horse who knows but Jack's style is unique as they both know. A glance to the side at the tree where Jack has taken up residence too, for good measure. ]

Hmm, I hope not. For the sake of the poor animal. But I am sure decorations will be enough to placate him at least.

[ A horse turned into a Christmas tree and other merry tales of Jack Vessalius. McGillis shakes his head lightly. It's been a long time since a trio of friends has been properly his and he finds himself falling into rhythm seamlessly. Now until the foreseeable future with these people, then? It is not as unbearable to imagine as one might think. ]

Giving him free reign to design a world though... Not sure if we thought that through when we defeated that beast.
begrimed: (they echoed and groaned)

[ wow mcgillis. hamelin can't help but laugh at that image with actual mirth. ]

He can be his own version of practical! You two did have them running in circles with Suga for a while, you know.

Not long enough.

[ Why would you remind him... What an unfortunate day that was, even if everything turned out more or less favorable in the long run. ]

We can work on that.
