[Game 18] Endgame

[arsgoetia]

It's early morning by the time they tidy up the house and fix the windows—leaving it as neat as they'd entered it, Tristan promises—and head out. Tristan seems to be itching to just get away from the place, though they can't return to the church, and it's now New Year's Day—so they head back across the border to the house in New York. Even Sariel comes along—albeit reluctantly—at Tristan's suggestion.

"To my understanding," Tristan says, "the kid's with Sera right now, which I'm cool with. I was a bit rough on him, so he might be sleeping it off for another little while—and like you all said, he might be a bit freaked out to see a dozen people staring at him. So let's leave him there for now. I can send you all home." He pauses.

"But if you want to come back soon . . . I can bring you back. No agenda necessary. If you don't want to come—well, let me know, and I'll try not to bring you."

Hi, David. Happy New Years.

I'm okay. I'm tired, but I'm okay. We had to go inside a guy's head and it was all Silent Hill and horror flicks... It was a big mess after. But we're all okay.

[uncloseted]

What? That sounds cool—I mean, uh, I'm glad you're fine.

[telepathetically]

Thinking you're going to be attacked by Pyramid Head isn't fun or cool.

[uncloseted]

Well, speak for yourself.

[telepathetically]

Maybe the My Little Pony world would have been scarier for you.

[uncloseted]

That's a bit, uh, anachronistic.

[there's the fainst sound of typing beeps as yuki looks up what that word means]

There was a My Little Pony section though. Itachi got turned into a pony.

And set it on fire?
