[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."

Today sucked, huh!

[adropintheocean]

It's really something when Denny's is the high point of the visit, it's true.

[liarliarliar]

What are you going to get?

[adropintheocean]

Chicken, probably. And french fries.

[liarliarliar]

I think I want breakfast.

[adropintheocean]

Come with, then.

[liarliarliar]

I will, if Sariel will come.

[adropintheocean]

If he won't do you want me to bring you back take-out?

[liarliarliar]

Get me a pile of bacon.

[adropintheocean]

Okay. Drink?

[liarliarliar]

Ah, don't bother. I'll keep hydrated on Tristan's dollar here.

[adropintheocean]

Please spend as many dollars as possible, he annoys me considerably.

[liarliarliar]

That's.

He's like that. It's really unfortunate.

[adropintheocean]

I--gathered.

[liarliarliar]

But it can't be helped with his lousy boss.

[adropintheocean]

The person on the phone.

[liarliarliar]

Yeah that.

[just shakes head no several time]

[adropintheocean]

. . . on the whole, I think I prefer the Throne of Heroes.

[liarliarliar]

I don't know what that is but okay.

[adropintheocean]

It's not Heaven and it's not Hell. It's...something else. The spirits you summon from it -- they're spirits, but they're -- very human, too. The one I know definitely is.

I think you'd like him.

[liarliarliar]

Really?

[adropintheocean]

. . . I have a memory of him on me, if you want. Though he's being an idiot in it.

[liarliarliar]

............................pardon me what?

[adropintheocean]

We lose our memories in Aather and get them back and we can share them with people if we want.

[liarliarliar]

That's.

Oh I don't like that at all.
