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. ]]

[Blinking in confusion.]

What are your other plans?

[hellochildren]

Oh, you know.

[He waves his wing a little-the avian equivalent to this hand gesture.]

Dealing wis a deadly spirit. Curing a brain disease zat has scarred a village many times. And fixing up the issues in my own worlt, of course.

Just the sings you woult expect from the former greatest criminal genius parrot in the worlt.

[because clearly there are so many criminal genius parrots]

1/2

[laytorest]

...I don't think there are any other parrots in this world?

[laytorest]

[Yor. Please.]

Oh - by the spirit, do you mean the one from Suga's world?

[hellochildren]

[Kindly ignoring the first bit because he needs some form of bragging rights-]

Indeet. I do not yet have a concrete plan, but I vill be doing my best to get rid of zat spirit.

And if I am able to spend some time in Frau Rika's worlt, I plan to help her as vell. It is not often zat I deal wis a disease zat may be magical in nature, but I am never vone to turn away from a challenge.

[laytorest]

It sounded scary when he talked about it. I do hope you can help him put a stop to it...

[A beat.]

Wait, there's a disease where Rika's from?!

[Yor could you PLEASE PAY ATTENTION.]

CW: Hinamizawa Syndrome Stuff (murder, suicide)

[hellochildren]

Wis help from Herr C-ta as vell? I am confident we vill figure sings out and end its reign of terror.

[...you know, had he been a case later, he probably would've given Yor a pass and assumed she couldn't see that trial. As it stands, Pericles lets out a small sigh-quite possibly a mix of disbelief and sympathy for Rika's situation.]

Indeet. Hinamizawa Syndrome. From vhat I understand, it leads people to lose zeir sanity to the point of hurting zose they care for-potentially even killing zemselves if they are far along enough and are having certain delusions of body horror.

It is likely going to be a challenge for me to solve, but not impossible.

Re: CW: Hinamizawa Syndrome Stuff (murder, suicide)

[laytorest]

[Trials are so much okay! She tried her best!]

I wonder if there's magic in it, too. [She still knows nothing about magic really but? There's a lot of it here so???] If that's the case, you could even ask if any of the others have the magic to help out, too.

[hellochildren]

[Okay, fair, he's half convinced everyone has been lost at one point or another during one trial...except Zola and Samidare maybe.]

Supposedly it has some ties to magic, but I vill neet to see it for myself to be sure. I prefer to study sings before coming to any conclusions.

Rest assured, zough. If it does have ties to magic raser zan science, I vill be consulting someone for assistance.

[He is a genius-he's smart enough to know that if he's out of his element, he should get some help rather than trying to do everything himself.]

[laytorest]

It seems like Yuri is on our side now? [Or maybe she always was! Plot hard, brain only good for murder.] So she could be a magic resource I think...?

[hellochildren]

[...honestly-]

I believe Frau Yuri vas always on our side. She just so happens to have...unique tastes.

[That's a nice way of saying she has garbage taste in men.]

Nevertheless, I do believe she can be trusted if I neet her assistance in fixing sings. I do not see her turning down somevone in a situation such as Frau Rika's.

1/2

[laytorest]

I really don't understand... she could do so much better than him.

[SQUINTING AT HAMELIN.]

[laytorest]

...I don't think my abilities will be very useful for any of those situations, but if you do find a need for a guard or... other services [murder] I'll be happy to come by to help.

1/2

[hellochildren]

Indeet she can. But unless he does anysing notably bad to her, I suggest we simply let it be, lest we risk pushing her avay.

[Then, a little lower in volume as he too squints at Hamelin.]

If he hurts her, zen we can break his spine.

2/2

[hellochildren]

[Back to normal voice.]

I just might, depending on the circumstances. Depending on vhat the reasons are for the disease to be the vay it is, as vell as the apparent dangers zat may be in the village, a little muscle coult be appreciated.

Unless somevone is directly causing the disease to spread, zough, you vill likely be able to enjoy your life wisout troubles from myself.

[. . .]

Re: 2/2

[laytorest]

[Nodding. If Hamelin tries anything, he'll have a whole host of problems on his plate...]

It would be nice if it could be solved without too much trouble. I hope you'll come by to visit when you aren't busy.

[hellochildren]

[This is why Pericles appreciates Yor]

Oh, do expect me at some point. I vill be getting some rest after dealing wis zat, but if I am able to sufficiently recharge, I woult be happy to see more of your worlt.

[Maybe less of the sharp and pointy bits though-something nice and simple.]

[laytorest]

I know of a spot that has a lovely view of the city. It's my favorite place to relax and think about everything I'm fighting to protect... I'll be sure to show you when you visit!
