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]

[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-

2/?

[hellochildren]

[wait]

3/4

[hellochildren]

[WAIT A SECOND-]

4/4

[hellochildren]

Koutarou?!

[WHAT?!?!]

[gemuinemanagement]

Yuri healed my curses - both my curses.

[His lifespan, and his voice.]

[hellochildren]

[For a moment, he's silent. In shock, really.

But after that moment? Laughter. Pure, incredible laughter.]

Wondabar! Zat's incredible news!

Shoult we celebrate? Regaining the ability to speak has to be reason enough to do so.

[Also, note to self: Make Yuri a bodyguard robot to prevent any more kidnappings, she deserves it.]

[gemuinemanagement]

We should. -It wouldn't have happened if you hadn't pushed me to ask for help, so.. thank you, too.

[He'd forgotten how to hope for things like this.]

[hellochildren]

[More laughter, though a little less intense.]

You give me too much credit! All I dit was make a suggestion-Frau Yuri is the vone who dit all the work!

Still, I see no reason to turn down a positive reason to drink.

[Because he'll admit, he wants a more positive experience drinking compared to his first time ever.]

[gemuinemanagement]

That's what we should have brought from the other side, alcohol. I'm all out.

[They have magic powers and could make booze here theoretically but??]

[hellochildren]

We can find ozer ways-Hölle, I woult not be surprised if Frau Yuri or somevone else hat a collection of some sort.

[He knows the woman is rich-and if she doesn't have a collection wine now, he would expect one after this.]

[gemuinemanagement]

I'll have to go grocery shopping when I get home anyway, I'll pick up some wine and we can toast. To a fresh start.
