[Final Day] Endgame

[arsgoetia]

And just as suddenly as everything had began, the demons are gone—all of them. Not a single crow feather remains. As if being sucked backwards out of a vacuum, sound and light flood into the room and the hallway, crashing down on you. You are back in the real world, with noise and physics and sunlight streaming in through the window.

You are also left with two bereft Bellcourt children, the older of which is suddenly doubling over in his wheelchair and shouting in anguish.

[grips onto David]

David--!

[arsgoetia]

David buries his face in your chest. "Shit fuck damn seriously seriously seriously fuck!"

[After the drama.]

How is it?

*when you're done talking to David, Itachi will approach you*

[virtuallyroyalty]

[...addresses Konatsu too]

I appreciate you trying. I knew I was being stupid, but... thanks.

[arsgoetia]

[after speaking to Lucia and Kazuki]

—Konatsu. Hi.

[he looks tired, leaning up against his bed, sitting on the floor, but—okay?]

[telepathetically]

[RUSHING OVER]

David! I'm sorry, they wouldn't..!

(( placeholder BYE ))

[arsgoetia]

David is holding onto Kazuki, swearing profusely.

[delivoreance]

[oh good, I guess I can go be nonresponsive in a corner. finally.]

[checks the time on her cell phone first, though]

[AFTER A TIME...?]

[approaching!] Sera...

[there is like. a white knuckled grip on his sword hilt.]

Two months, is it?

[tsundeargodwhy.livejournal.com]

It's still—after him being gone so long . . .

[arsgoetia]

Lucia, in stunning timing, starts to stir as if she's waking up.

[troublebrewing]

[still kneeling next to her after the exorcism]

Lucia?

[cureworsethan.livejournal.com]

*sits down on the floor, near the door, and sighs*

[virtuallyroyalty]

You okay? It's been a bad ride.

[bestest]

[...I guess throwing all my feelings into endgame really did work some; feels a bit better, though kind of disoriented now that things have stopped happening...]

[tsundeargodwhy.livejournal.com]

[eventually I am just going to slump nearby]

[devilofajob]

[leans against the wall and closes his eyes]

[peacockeyes.livejournal.com]

[looking around, making sure everyone is accounted for]

[arsgoetia]

[No strange absences except that Ling Xe, expectedly, fucked off from the hall.]

[arterialmotive.livejournal.com]

[I think I'll let everyone else deal with the emotional ramifications first.]

[after hugging Lucia and giving her pudding

GUESS WHO IS WALKING TOWARDS YOU LOOKING DETERMINED]

[ofortunistic.livejournal.com]

*a little later, checking who all is still in the outside hallway*

[arsgoetia]

Bastien ducks down to look at you. "Hey Anise," he says. "I should go stop Kit from freaking out, but if you're still here later I'll be in the graveyard? Uh, and also... Tthhhanks."

[troublebrewing]

[I'm just going to hug my knees to my chest for a bit here]

[AFTER ALL THE DRAMA]

[comes over and slumps next to]

I kinda feel like I owe everyone an apology, so...

[arsgoetia]

After David has talked things out with Lucia, he's sitting on the bed pretty calmly, if anybody else wants to talk to him.

[delivoreance]

[after freaking out and stuff is over]

...you did get your body back...

[crowbro]

Man... talk about a sucky ending.

[virtuallyroyalty]

It could have been a LOT worse, I bet.

[arsgoetia]

AFTER DRAMAS, Lucia kind of realizes she owes everyone a big general thanks sssoo.

"U-um, David says people... stood up for me, and gave things up for me and ... I don't really get it, but thank you?? So much, I... thanks."
