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! ]

[ Them big old eyes!!!

Shiv doesn't look too different either, actually. Still bright. What a relief. ]

I don't know what space travel has to do with it, but it's alright. You can do it with any large tree.

[ Though, um. Sadly for Shiv. That sort of "magic" only works in Siffrin's world. ]

You remember the steps I told you?

[thesharpestroy]

[She doesn't think the magic will work in her world. If she's never seen any until now, that must mean that she's from somewhere that doesn't have it. She'll just be giving the thing she wishes she could have more than anything to the wind. It'll be a stupid and sentimental gesture.

Then again, some parts of the world look more kindly on stupid sentimental acts than what she's known her whole life, apparently.]

I fold a leaf from the tree and whisper the wish into it seven times, right?

[siffriend]

As many times as it feels right, yeah. Then you blow on it, and let it go.

[ And that's that! The Universe takes care of the rest. ]

I'll do it for you in my world, too. So that way the Universe really knows to listen for it.

[ ... Sorry, this has a high chance of actually working too, so Shiv should prepare to be given the chance to test out parallel world research in the future. ]

[thesharpestroy]

[Somehow, the promise Siffrin makes is one that Shiv is able to believe. Her face softens for a brief moment in sincere gratitude.]

Thanks, Siff.

[She's back to her usual self almost as soon as that moment is over, however.]

So, back to the usual cycle for you, then? G'raha planning on heading there with you? Keep me posted on whether it works out with him.

[Surely you will invite your good buddy Shiv to the gay cat wedding, right?]

[siffriend]

[ (Shiv is so nice.





You're aware your standard for that is pretty low, and weird, but... it's hard not to think when she's like that. She deserves to have more time, too.) ]

Back to the usual cycle, and... Raha'll be going back to his world. I wouldn't wanna risk accidentally trapping him with everyone else, and he's too sudden of a presence in the story to explain away.

[ Imagine, rewriting a whole script just to cover a plothole like that! Can't be Siffrin. ]

I'll, um. Do that though. After... the loops are broken, I'll see about traveling to him, or him to me. We'd like to go on some adventures together.

[ Absolutely she's being invited though. Siffrin's problematic murderfriend, we've all got them. ]
