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. ]]

[hellochildren]

[Suga is using the power of scritches to deliberately get the parrot's love and Pericles is LIVING for it]

As am I.

I believe I am going to have my vork cut out for me, now zat sings have ended. If ve truly can travel srough all our worlts, I am not sure if I can live wis letting some stay as zey are.

[gemuinemanagement]

[He loves his friend and wants to share that affection!]

What will you be fixing first?

[hellochildren]

[fair, that's why he's going to be doing things in other people's canons]

Eizer I'll deal vith the easy difficulty of handling Herr Campbell's financial woes, or challenge myself wis curing a disease zat may be magical in origin in Frau Rika's worlt.

After zat, I was sinking of helping however I can wis a certain pesky forest spirit.

[gemuinemanagement]

Those are good goals to have
I'll teach you how to work with refined glowstone
I'm sure you'll be able to make something magnificent
(At no risk to you, refined glowstone is harmless)

[hellochildren]

At zis point in my life? I am villing to work wis unrefined glowstone if it means aiding you wis the creature.

[He is a parrot in his eighties, after all. Even he's not sure how much longer he'll be living.]

[gemuinemanagement]

Absolutely not
Even if it wouldn't shorten your lifespan
I'm not exposing my friend to something that would hurt him

[hellochildren]

So it is fair for my frient to endanger himself and shorten his lifespan wis such materials, but I am not allowed to do such to aid him wis his troubles?

Zat does not seem fair to myself, Herr Suga.

[gemuinemanagement]

[...oh, right. People care about his well-being. He almost forgot.]

I can't make it any worse than it already is

[hellochildren]

[Yeah, dummy, expect your boyfriend to also be on that long list of people that care about your well-being.

That note gets him silent for a moment, though not for the reason Suga would expect probably.]

Herr Suga, do you know how long African Grey Parrots like myself live?

[gemuinemanagement]

[He shakes his head. They don't live where he does, and he's never been the best at animal facts to begin with.]

[hellochildren]

[He figured.]

Most do not live as long as I have. Usually zey reach their seventies and die. In goot care, zey can live longer, but my point stands.

I am not sure how much longer I vill live, at zis point. Allow me to use vhat years I do have to assist you, please.

[gemuinemanagement]

[...Ah. That makes sense, of course. Pericles is old, especially for an animal.]

I understand
I'll let you do as you see fit

[hellochildren]

Sank you.

[And time for a subject change, because literally everyone is uncomfortable with this topic.]

Vhat about yourself? Do you have any significant plans, knowing zat we can likely reach all of our worlts?

[gemuinemanagement]

[A much better topic.]

Well
I still can't really leave my world for extended periods because of my responsibilities
But I'll happily invite everyone else to come visit
I'd like to see Yor-nee and Marcus-nii when they're not busy
I think most people will need a break from each other for a while
But later it'd be nice to get everyone together
For a Thursday night party again

[hellochildren]

[He gives a small nod at the 'not leaving his world for long' part because understandable, with how dumb the other people in Suga's village/town are, Pericles wouldn't be surprised if they need help blowing their noses properly.

Another nod once he's finished reading the whole note.]

Yes, some of us vill likely neet a break from ozers.

[Only barely avoiding glaring at The Piper/McGillis/Jack.]

But I woult be more zan happy to attend such parties. I do neet to make sure Herr Nageki and Frau Elizabeth also do vell in zeir own worlts.

[Because Feelings(TM). He can't shake them if he tried at this point.]

[gemuinemanagement]

I hope everything goes well with them
Tell me stories later of how cool you were when you cured that disease

[hellochildren]

[Congratulations to Suga for figuring out exactly how make the small bird ruffle his feathers with pride.]

Vhen I get it done, you vill be the second person to hear of it after Frau Rika.

[gemuinemanagement]

I can't wait

[Scritch scritch scritch.]

[hellochildren]

[Leaning into that scritching so much that he forgets to actually make another comment because my goodness he hasn't felt this genuinely good in years]

[gemuinemanagement]

[Sometimes friendship is scritches, fixing the problems in each other's worlds and praising your friend for being super cool. And that's okay.]

[hellochildren]

[Not incorrect! And because of that, if Suga ever needs any new organs, Pericles will find a donor.

Just don't ask how he finds a donor.]

[gemuinemanagement]

[please do not do organ harvesting for him thank you]

[hellochildren]

[look it's an if!! he'll only do it if Suga has organ failure of some kind, promise!!]

surprise i'm back

[gemuinemanagement]

[Sometime after Suga has gone to talk to Yuri and be cured of his curses - both curses - and has been thoroughly hugged by his boyfriend, he returns to Pericles. He waves first to get his attention, before opening his mouth.]

Pericles?

1/?

[hellochildren]

[The wave is enough to get his attention, as he swoops down a bit closer.]

Yes, Herr-
