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! ]

Oh. No, I'm just...

[ ...

(You are being kind of a creep, Siffrin. How many people even knew you couldn't see color?) ]

Um. Your performance was really good, even if the play wasn't all that great. I liked your passion.

[simulacres]

Yeah, it was pretty bad. But we worked hard, and Norna liked it, so I'm proud of it.

[ she nods. despite being alert for an attack, there's also nothing she can really do to stop one, so she's more or less vibing. ]

How were things on your end? Sabo's hat was getting somewhat messed up before all of this.

[siffriend]

We fought the maze and won. [ it wasn't the maze. ] I think he got the worst of it, but a couple of us ended up getting hurt too... That's where the damage comes from.

[ Sorry, G'raha!!!!! But you know now!!!! Being one yourself!!!! ]

There was a gate inside it, with a bunch of people coming out. Twisted by time. That's all.

[simulacres]

I see. That sounds too complicated for me.

[ she nods, not really understanding half of that. twisted by time? nope, she has no interest in learning about that. ]

[siffriend]

I just went where Yaman pointed.

[ Trust, it was over a lot of people's heads. Ayaka have you ever considered that Time needs a government department dedicated to it. ]

Do you think I'm gonna attack you again?

[simulacres]

[ she would rather not think about how complicated time is in general.

as for the question... ]

I don't care if you do or not, but I would genuinely advise you not to.

[ because something tells ayaka that the moment richard feels a hint of panic he's going to come in and excalibur siffrin into the next century. ]

[siffriend]

[ POM PLEASE ]

No, you just seem a little wary. I won't, by the way. Raha was pretty mad at me for it in the first place, and... I was satisfied with just hurting you.

[ Since no one else would. ]

[simulacres]

You're not special. I just don't like people.

[ even after everything, there's still a part of her that is a huge introvert, and that will never change. she's not wary of siffrin, she's wary of nearly everyone.

normally, she'd finish the conversation with that, but she'll stand up and dust her skirt as she stares directly at siffrin. ]

I don't care that you hurt me. You had every right to, and that's fine. [ if richard or whatever part of his retinue guarding her are hearing this, they better keep to themselves. this is her issue and she's taking care of it herself. ] But you baited me by trying to hurt Saber first. Not only will I never forgive that, that also makes you just as cowardly as me. So if you have nothing more to say, then you can either leave or I will.

[siffriend]

He would've stepped in if I hadn't. We both know that.

[ It was obvious, after all. ]

It was supposed to hurt him in a different way. I don't know if it did, but it was the only way I could manage both. It's fine if you don't forgive that, and think I'm cowardly for it.

[ ... It isn't said with ire, or anything. Just kind of neutral, factual, not so different than their talk in the promenade. ]

[simulacres]

Then your imagination just isn't good enough. He wasn't superhuman then, I'm sure you could have managed to catch us off guard.

[ now? different story.

anyways, ayaka doesn't raise her voice either, her own tone equally neutral. she really doesn't want to start anything, especially after they all got the happy ending that they may or may not deserve. ]

We're even now. So go find someone else to stare at.

[ because she's walking away, her fox trotting next to her. ]

[siffriend]

[ ... She was bright before, but they don't know the colors she is now.

Still, they'll watch her start off, then turn and go themselves. Even's even. ]

[ocenon]

[siffriend]

[ STAY IN THOSE BUSHES BUDDY HE AIN'T INTERESTED IN YOUR GIRL. ]

[ocenon]

[ he ain't in the bushes. but if there's a random arrow from literally out of nowhere that whizzes just past their head and misses



don't worry. :) (this doesn't happen) ]
