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! ]

Right, right, the vote of confidence is super appreciated!

[ She doubts it, but she appreciates it all the same. ]

So this is my vote of confidence—I totally think you're quick on your feet enough to get all the epiphany you'd want and need for your deadline. I just hope it doesn't hafta come with danger. Gotta give a girl a break.

[ Even if she knows epiphany and danger go hand in hand, this place is definitely more than enough danger for a lifetime. ]

You're actually really friendly, aren't you? You've got an overbearing personality, but you care a little more than that. [Andrew tucks a piece of hair behind her ear and chuckles. She has the same reaction: appreciation for the confidence and distrust in it.

Please don't crash the carraige, Clover... She likes you too much. As long as she's prepared for it, Andrew believes in her ability to keep a straight face and bluff enough to pull the vehicle over. At least that much.]

Then I hope the same "break" comes to you. You've dealt with enough kidnapping by madmen.

[Subtle as it is, there's an edge of humor in Andrew's voice. For poor Clover, lightning has struck twice. In a just world, she would be protected from future unfairnesses. That she doesn't say anything about the danger she may or may not face could be telling enough alone. Though Andrew may be much more physically resilient now, it doesn't change that things must be executed perfectly or that other people could get hurt.]

[ She doesn't even have a retort to that. If anything, that's so on the nose it's almost embarrassing to hear. Waving her hands around like she could shoo away the comment, she laughs. ]

I could say the same to you. Once is enough for something like this... But at least it's an opportunity to rethink how why, and we act the way we do. Weeeell, for me at least.

[ She closes her eyes with a sigh, mind flashing back to how her friendliness put herself in danger multiple times. Maybe she should tell people to fuck themselves even more. Speaking of which! ]

I don't think it's wrong to be friendly in general, but...maaaaaaaan. Too friendly and you're taken advantage of, but too standoffish and you become an easier target. That's the most annoying balancing act I've heard in my life. If this was a class, I'd file a complaint with the school!

[ At least the others weren't a danger to her the first time, sheesh. ]
