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. ]]

Then who's Melissa?!

[WAS ANY OF THAT REAL-]

[personal profile] sempiternel 2021-07-21 04:29 am (UTC)(link)
She’s my dear friend, of course. I had quite the crush on her.

[ It was real! ]
laytorest: ([Confused] He says drooling)

[personal profile] laytorest 2021-07-21 10:06 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh... so it was partially true?
sempiternel: (103)

[personal profile] sempiternel 2021-07-22 01:32 am (UTC)(link)
Yes. At the time, I wasn't sure how to explain, you see.

[ It was - um, complicated? ]
laytorest: ([Confused] gas bills”)

[personal profile] laytorest 2021-07-22 01:45 am (UTC)(link)
Did you ever explain it to the others? We couldn't see most of it, and when we finally could, we couldn't hear.

[ Well, at one point she was going to say it in public, but then she got upset over something else, oops. ]

I explained it in private to some. I think the others could guess after a certain point - and I know Sister knew before I said anything. So Sister must have known, too.

[ Yes, what she said. ]

And everything at the end was... explanation enough. I think some would rather not hear it, however. That's... fine.
laytorest: ([Fret] in a teacup.)

[Kind of. Looking in his direction dubiously.]

I know now that he did help us, but...

[Is this guy really worthy of Yuri. She's not convinced.]
sempiternel: (023)

[personal profile] sempiternel 2021-07-22 04:30 am (UTC)(link)
I love him. [ A quiet laugh. ] That’s just how it is. He has always treated me very well; out of the two of us, I’d say he’s the more romantic one.

[ Another laugh. ]
laytorest: ([Embarrassed] They’re placed cutely)

[STILL SQUINTING.]
laytorest: ([Determined] “I made it so that)

[personal profile] laytorest 2021-07-22 07:37 pm (UTC)(link)
Okay, but if he ever does anything funny, you can just call me and I'll come, okay?
sempiternel: (004)

[personal profile] sempiternel 2021-07-23 12:57 am (UTC)(link)
Thank you, my lady! I’ll call you so you can see the results of my fury. [ She seems pretty excited to be able to take names and kick ass for once. ] I hope, if you ever need help, that you will call me, too.

Though from what you’ve mention already, your husband is a good man.
laytorest: ([Surprise] in the kitchen)

[Nodding along with! If Yuri says she can take him on, then Yor supports it!!]

Yes, exactly! If you need a place to stay, you can let me know. We have extra space!

[It would require some explanations, but that's probably fine...]
