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 so you want a third thread going that direction ok ]

Yet you do many a thing that an adventurer does. [ He smiles. ] Unless you feel it’s ill suited?

[ He can change to addressing Siffrin as something else and admire that just as much, honestly. Siffrin still does good deeds, even if they won’t admit to it. ]

[siffriend]

[ in front of god and all else ]

I just never thought of myself as one. I don't really mind it from you, though.

[ So no, it can stay. One more title to add to their collection.

(Hmmm. But how to refer to Raha... if you're still in contact with your family members, anyway.

...) ]

Lover? My heart? Or... Moitié, that sounds nice.

[ sorry to finally bring french to the french game. ]

[allrounder]

[ Ishgard.......? ]

Does it mean "lover" as well?

[ It's just a guess. He's a scholar of ancient arcane magic, not language. ]

[siffriend]

Kind of. The Vaugardians use to mean "my better half".

[ ...

Kind of embarrassing, probably, but said with a straight face. ]

[allrounder]

I do like that, I must say.

[ Much less embarrassing than lover anyway. It feels... sophisticated. ]

[siffriend]

[ Well, it'll be a nice soft launch for their bonding earrings anyway. ]

Really? In that case, call me Maltié.

[ Slaughtering the French language for a joke.. ]

[allrounder]

[ He gives Siffrin a Look. ]

That... is not the word you stated.

[ And if Siffrin is asking him to call them his worse half they're gonna have words— ]

[siffriend]

[ (........

You have a feeling you shouldn't finish this joke. Swerve it.) ]

It's short for Maltiéase.

[allrounder]

[ He sees what you're doing, Siffrin!! ]

A poor attempt at saving yourself from trouble.

[ And for that, G'raha reaches out and pinches his cheek. ]

[siffriend]

[ Pinched...!!!!! Punishment accepted. Until Siffrin swats at the hand, okay, let go. ]

Well, I couldn't finish my wordplay when you looked at me like that... I had to adapt. And I think you should praise me for my quick wit, which you find impressive, charming, and something worth adoring.

[ G'raha had said one of those things about it. ]

[allrounder]

[ Swatting at his hand just means that G'raha grasps at theirs instead. His now. ]

I find your quick wit impressive, charming, and something worth adoring, Siffrin.

[siffriend]

[ His forever, if he'd like. ]

... "My Siffrin".

[allrounder]

[ Ah. He should amend his statement, huh? ]

I find your quick wit impressive, charming and something worth adoring, my Siffrin.

[ That's much better, he thinks. ]

[siffriend]

[ (You might be getting too greedy.) ]

... Better. It's a wonder you don't have more admirers, though. I think you're charming no matter what you're doing.

[allrounder]

I am certain I have hardly any admirers at all.

[ The Crystarium was different. ]

And I think many would disagree with your point about my charm.

[siffriend]

[ He's so lucky Siffrin doesn't have a fox yet. Watch this general space. ]

You're dumb, though.

[ Definitely unlike Siffrin, who totally notices when someone likes them. ]

[allrounder]

...

[ Whatever Siffrin has on him that he can swipe, you best believe he is attempting to take it right now (13). ]

[siffriend]

[ Well.

It doesn't matter what it might've been, given they sincerely sought out G'raha before all else and maybe paused to get their inventory back on the way, because Siffrin blocks it

with their hand (13) they are holding hands again yay yay yay. ]

My heart's pounding, Raha. You're sooooo daring.

[ Please. ]

[allrounder]

[ Ah. Well.

This isn't so bad an outcome. He squeezes Siffrin's fingers. ]

Am I? Would it pound more were I to share a selection of my more daring exploits with you?

[siffriend]

[ This is a fairly good outcome, yes, with a clear piqued interest. ]

[allrounder]

[ They both love a good tale, don’t they? But he feels like he should… take advantage of this, just a little. ]

Then I shall think of one to share with you later.

[ Hehe. Maybe it’s fun to tease after all. ]

[siffriend]

[ Aaaand deflating. ]

... Fine. I'll be waiting, Raha.

[ Even if they'd prefer to hear it tucked in his arms......... ]

[allrounder]

Forgive me. I could not resist the urge to tease you.

[ They were so excited.... he couldn't help it. ]

[siffriend]

[ Love is DEAD.

... Siffrin will be lingering as long as he can here, at least, since if he leaves, then... it's over, and all he'll be left with is memories, and... ]

You're awful and mean. I don't see why I like you so much. I told you a story, didn't I? You should be more quick witted, scholar.

[allrounder]

[ He smiles, soft, as he leans into Siffrin's space. ]

Come now, is that really what you think of me?
