Epilogue

[lesmodsalouette]

EPILOGUE

Your stopped time has restarted. Whether you were in the grassy field or fighting for your life on the castle grounds, you'll suddenly find yourself in an untouched area of the gardens. Ish is back, and so are the items, and the dead.

You return to Chateau Ambregris with the certain knowledge that come Monday, you will greet a new week, in a home of your own choosing. No longer will the chime of the clocks hunt you down, no longer will the oppressive scent of roses haunt your senses, no longer will you be forced to watch the death of those you've come to love and hate.

Parting is such a bittersweet sorrow, isn't it?

Make merry one last time, in this castle of illusions. Ironically, your memories of this stolen time that never existed are the one thing that will truly remain to you.

END NOTES

🔮 All dead are revived as tsukumogami! Congrats on your immortality(?)
🔮 Any other contracts made with Ish will be honored
🔮 Characters may choose to leave for any world they desire.
🔮 Time has not passed while you were stuck in this loop!
🔮 There will be no cross-dimensional world travel, except for on Samhain (Witches New Year October 31st/November 1st). On these dates, Ish will enable everyone to visit each other's world freely.
🔮 Universal Communication will be possible, courtesy of Manba and Ish. Everyone who wants one will be given a small fox that can communicate with other foxes through voice and video; the foxes can talk and are fairly simple creatures, enjoy them and give them fried tofu once in a while.
🔮 Powers are on for the finale, but Ish will step in and yeet anyone who gets too out of hand back to their homeworld, so play nice! (or relatively nice. )

[OOC: Welcome to your epilogue! The timeloop is ended, the evil has been defeated, and you have some time to catch your breath in the castle before the rest of your life begins! ]

It might be worth asking. Especially if there's any sort of a risk of things leaking outside of the pocket dimension.

[ at least they're powered now, so they'd be able to handle it?? but still. ]

Are they spirits of those that've passed? Or something different?

[spotsalone]

[ WOW. ]

Good memory. You'll be pleased to know I won't need to resort to such a thing now that I'm immortal.

[ Of course, the rest of his men are still mortal, as well as Angelo... but that's a problem he's confident he can solve once he's back. Probably. Hopefully. ]

The rainbow?

[ocenon]

[ It might be! But she'll just have to wonder about that in perpetuity. ]

Oh? Are you familiar with haunting other spirits? I underestimated your necromancy powers.

[ He's being serious, but she wouldn't be completely coming from nowhere if she thought he was mocking her. ]

[oncefallen]

Does it? Now you've got me curious. Do you think you could make him do it when I can see?

[Someone save poor G'raha, he does not deserve this--]

[the_obedient_servant]

[They have to wonder what will happen to Frisk. Alone in some gap between existence, waiting for something that will never come.

Why do they care? After all that they have destroyed, the idea of responsibility over a child that they overwrote, whose body they stole.

They frown. Looking at the ground.]

A few.

[They turn and look at Homura now, in all her newly rediscovered majesty as a being of immense power. It almost makes them a little jealous. They never got wings. Just a knife and a beating heart wrapped around their neck.]

Do you mean to move on? From your world that has moved on without you?

Or does your own duty - that which guides your own determination demand that you continue?

[siffriend]

No.

[ocenon]

A shame it's not something a little heartier - Ayaka had to try and patch Sabo's hat when it had garnered some mysterious damage from whatever was going on with your side of things.

[the_obedient_servant]

[They can't help the slightly pained laugh that that manages to summon.]

I'm dead, Shiv.

There's no growing up for me. I'm a revenant resurrected by the overwhelming power of my partner's violence.

But no, it had magic. Just not in the human world that I was born in - or... well, that magic had been suppressed. Erased from memory. [They shrug, a weightless despair surrounding them as they reckon with feelings they had kept suppressed for well over a month.] It doesn't matter. None of it matters anymore.

[the_obedient_servant]

A solid... three, from personal tastes.

Too plain. I prefer heroes to be bold and violent.

[siffriend]

[ .........

The remarkable difference liking someone can make-- ]

That's the sort of answer I'd expected from someone who grew up where you did, Chara. Thank you for your honesty.

[ G'raha is kind of plain when there's a kid with no arms running around.





Bold and violent is something else but we'll ignore that-- ]

[oncefallen]

Oh? Why not? Surely you can't expect me to give an accurate rating without seeing that.

[siffriend]

Because he's mine.

[ that tail is for one person only and it isn't even siffrin ]

[ocenon]

Most likely, I'm afraid. I'm not sure there's many ways to cheat it, if there are any.

[ do i look like i know what a heaven's feel is to you?????????? ]

[antemeridian]

... There is someone I once wanted to protect. In turn, there is a world she wanted to protect, ugliness and all. She knew it for what it was. But even at her worst, she looked at it and saw things that she would give herself to safeguard.

[ Past tense, all of it. The implication is clear. ]

... I will too, for as long as I can continue to resolve to.

[ And after that ... after that, who knows. Not her, steadfast in her sense of duty, of obligation;

Of being the living proof of and memorial to the fact that someone else once existed. ]

[oncefallen]

Ah, I understand. I don't think I'd want to share any of Sariel's more endearing habits with anyone else, either.

[Because likewise, that's his.]

[siffriend]

[ Thank goodness they have an understanding. ]

Can I know one of them since I told you one of my moitié's?

[oncefallen]

[Sometimes... you're a little bit possessive and also in love.]

Hmmm... well, he's quite fond of petting my hair, for one, although that isn't something anyone else would see if I weren't there s well.

[ocenon]

[ hehehehehe ]

Are they wrong? They're a very nice color, Ayaka.

[ocenon]

Concise, huh... I don't think I've ever heard that word used to describe me before.

[ mostly because the man's hyperfixation sets off like no other. ]

Perhaps in another lifetime, things would have worked out for the better.

[simulacres]

[ UGHHHHHHHHHHHHHH ]

Stop!! That's embarrassing!!! People are listening!!

[siffriend]

[ This cast is full of them...

But oh, that is cute. ]

It feels nice, huh? I like it when people pet my hair, too.

[ Even though G'raha has yet to............... Take notes catboy. ]

Sariel's a wonderful person. Very kind. One of the things... that I'm happy about, is that even in a century's time, I'll be able to greet him and ask how he's been doing with his practice.

[calamitish]

Oh? Sure. What do you have to offer me?

[coldseep]

Is that how many more children we're having?

( is he referring to the sextillion or the two )

[coldseep]

( that's not bias? that's objective fact? )

Has the onslaught of approval improved his opinion?

[siffriend]

[ And so is Siffrin's? ]

I think it's just made him wish he wasn't immortal even more.
