[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."

No, you're right, we have to be more impartial.

[playfair]

The way I see it, the problem is that everyone on all sides is annoying and does stupid stuff sometimes!

[troublebrewing]

And yet we have allies on all sides, too.

[playfair]

Right...

And sometimes our allies are the ones doing annoying stuff.

[IS TRISTAN HERE SO I CAN GIVE HIM A SIDELONG GLARE. I'm not giving my wife a sidelong glare she's totally over that]

[troublebrewing]

Right...

[playfair]

So that's why we're here, to not judge people just for who they are, but to tell them to cut it out already.

[troublebrewing]

Stop trying to bring about the apocalypse, we say. Don't be a jerk.

[playfair]

I don't know why it's so hard! At least be a regular jerk instead of a jerk that endangers people's lives!

[troublebrewing]

It really shouldn't be that hard.

[playfair]

Ugh, it's annoying just to think about...

[troublebrewing]

This is why we're needed.

[playfair]

Yeah, I guess that's true... I didn't think of it like that. That part's easy!
