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! ]

. . . She wasn't feeling well—my summoner. I sent her somewhere else to recover and then took her place.

[coldseep]

( oh nyo

He seems to perk up at that. )

Summoner? ( That sounds kind of like the Sage position, huh? (Hwylryn inadvertently discovering gacha tropes...) ) ... Is she okay? Does she need help? I could ask Ish if there's something he can do.

( If she's important enough for Tiamat to do a favor for, then Tiamat must care a lot about her!!! He wants to help!!!!! )

[frostlight]

[Her face crinkles at the mention of Ish. Right. That guy.]

She should be doing better now. I'd rather not involve more people than I have to.

[It's already a mess with another dragon dragged into mortal politics.]

You don't have to do anything, either.

[coldseep]

( listen tiamat ish may be really bad but hwyl swears he's not that bad-- )

I want to, though. ( But he can't exactly force it when he doesn't know the situation. ) Can I at least call to check in, sometimes?

( 🥺🥺🥺 )

[frostlight]

[One punch to the face and she might call it even between her and Ish.

Knowing how sentimental Hwylryn can be . . . ]

You can. If you speak to a source of ice, I'll be able to hear you.

[coldseep]

( !! )

And can I visit?

( if you give a hwyl a cookie-- )

[frostlight]

[She imagines Hwylryn's showing up like this at Eldepel . . . and it's a little amusing to think about how the nobles might react, seeing a dragon to disprove their theories about her true identity.]

Sure. We can see each other at the Spirit World once the matter of the duchy is resolved.

[Best not to risk it just yet, though.]

[coldseep]

( YAY!!!! )

Okay! I'll bring Ish and Junior along.

( +1's them without permission it's fine )

What kind of place is the Spirit World, anyway?

[frostlight]

[Not Ish—]

What do you mean, "what kind"? It's the realm of spirits.

[That's self-explanatory, no?]
