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! ]

[Urianger's last conversation with Siffrin was...bad, to say the least. And he's thought a lot about what was said and done in the days following.

So he seeks out his fellow roomie.]

Siffrin.

[...and immediately ducks into a bow.]

I wish to extend mine apologies.

[siffriend]

[ Yeah, the familiar sound of Urianger's footsteps (you could never forget someone from Water Lily's steps, ever; they're imprinted on your memory, just like your family members') already has them tense, and the call of their name makes them flinch just a bit

only, it... ends with a bow, and...

...

Siffrin stands there, uncertain, before stepping a bit forward. ]

Um. That's okay. I mean, you're fine. Forgiven.

[ ...

(You breathe in, and out.) ]

You... don't hate me?

[divineth]

[Urianger also breathes out, relieved. This is a bridge he genuinely did not want to let burn.]

Of course not.

[He makes it sound so simple, but obviously nothing is simple for Urianger so let him TL;DR a bit.]

In the moment, I was single-minded- focused on a fruitful conversation with hopes of formulating a stratagem to deliver us from our fate. I took ire with thine actions because to me, they only served to sew chaos and divide us when we needed to remain together the most.

However, Chara was correct in that it was cruel of me to disregard thy feelings for that purpose. I disagree with Ayaka and Richard's reactions, fervently so, but I did little to put that disagreement to proof.

I did wrong by thee, my friend, and for that I apologize once more.

[ Of course not, he says, and

something in Siffrin cracks, just a little. While he prattles on, they shuffle closer to hug him tightly around the waist. About as high as they get on the elf comfortably.

... Physical affection, it would seem, has become something they're both practiced and craving. ]

It's okay. I was-- worried, since then, that... you did, and it scared me.

[ Because Siffrin really doesn't want to be hated by the people he cares about, and Water Lily is certainly part of that. All of them, Yoonhee. ]

I know it wasn't... the best time or place, but... I'd been mad, since the night before I died. Since they told me. I thought they'd say something before then. They didn't, and then-- no one cared, and I--

[ There's no tears, still never a drop, but their throat chokes up anyway. ]
