[Game 20] Epilogue

[arsgoetia]

Maon leads the way back towards civilization—somehow making his way easily back out through the woods, and you know, there's some things you just don't ask about.

It's a little longer walk back than it was getting there—you'd ended up popping out in a slightly different location. The sun isn't quite up enough to be causing any adverse side effects, and somehow as you walk, you find any fatigue or pain or chill drifting away, leaving you feeling rejuvinated rather than exhausted. The really happy archangel might be partially to blame for that.

The cottage soon comes into sight. Siùsaidh is sitting on the porch waiting, and Tristan's car is once again parked outside.

"Tis about time ye got back," she says firmly. "Tis been three days, and I can only mind an incubus in my home fer so long. Step inside for breakfast, now, won't ye?"

[we will continue to pick at threads in the Endgame but feel free to hit up anybody anywhere in the Epilogue! thanks for the game, see you again in three years soon ♥]

When you step inside, you'll find that not only is there a full breakfast to pick from, there's also an older gentleman, very tallwith graying, pale blond hair and thin features, sitting at a table drinking orange juice (or mimosas . . .?) with Tristan.

I was sort of hoping they'd be back later, so we'd have an excuse for cake already. Though we can probably make an exception because I'm an indulgent sinner.

Happy birthday, Maddy?

[liarliarliar]

[wait its his birthday wait thats his dad OH GEEZ]

[troublebrewing]

Mr. Prewett...

[turnonmycharm]

[pours himself another drink. we are day-drinking]

Welcome back everybody.

[rootless]

You should share.

[wrongstory]

[he's very very genuinely glad for the success and the good news

but. politely, with a tone of "i know this is sort of rude but:"] Are there arrangements set up to return those of us who don't live here?

[conatus]

I want the bottle.

[going inside immediately despite the sun barely being up and the angel healing side effects]

[redetermined]

Hi honey, we're home.

[telepathetically]

[an endgame where yuki is not sulking in a corner for once, wow he is running on PURE CONCENTRATED HYPE]

You mean we have an ACTUAL birthday to celebrate?

[liarliarliar]

I don't have a present for him I feel bad.

[liarliarliar]

[gonna eat so many breakfast muffins and eggs and bacon

and. and just sit and readjust to how his life has just. changed.]

[boatsights]

[still a little flushed and sniffly, but coming back over to him, hesitating]

[rollwillpowercheck]

Breakfast sounds wonderful.

[liarliarliar]

And tastes wonderful.

[investigatrix]

[raises a hand] I was totally useless but have no regrets on going. Breakfast please, Miss McKinney!

[liarliarliar]

You had the best one liner.

[arsgoetia]

Siùsaidh is getting everyone set up with food and anything else they need. She is also closing the shutters if that helps the vampire not totally have to retreat.

[telepathetically]

Uh, excuse me... off-chance, but are there any postcards here that I can use?

[arsgoetia]

Fen is still here with the group, looking a bit at a loss and hovering near the doorway.

[wrongstory]

[over the by-proxy euphoria and just tired now, out of place]

You should eat something.

[hypocrite!]

[innerdemon]

[fidgety and weird but also needing breakfast]

[conatus]

You guys doing all right?

[inside the nice, shuttered house]

[tenebrat]

[ DO YOU NEED CAT, DOG, OR ANY OTHER SORT OF ANIMAL HUGGING THERAPY?

THERE IS (1) SHADOWBLORT SOMEWHERE, AVAILABLE, FOR ALL OF YOUR FACESMUSHING NEEDS.

that said, it is so totally up for this food, but it will patiently wait until everyone has gotten their feelings settled and started eating, themselves. ]

[boatsights]

[it's possible I didn't stop cuddling you the entire way back]

[star_and_stone]

*has a plate of breakfast, a notebook and a pen and is making notes, as usual after a summoning*

[boatsights]

Um—hello.

[dammitmaonmaon]

A'richt, A'm back, love ye Maddy, A'm gaun for a walk, see ya later.

[tries to leave immediately]

[arsgoetia]

Siùsaidh attempts to follow him out.

[tildeathdoweremain]

[ Not really hungry or wanting to hang around the happy reunions much, so just going to stay out on the porch and watch the sunrise. ]

[psychopompous]

[. . . sits down with her]

[psychopompous]

[is this bird going to go off on his own to be melancholy? well he's gonna try]

[liarliarliar]

...? Are you going out for a while, niichan?

[boatsights]

[a little later on, surely cake is allowed to happen, and you can find Maddy happily eating and chatting with people]

[don't comment on the fact that his hair is in a ponytail instead of a braid, or the fact that he and Kano vanished mysteriously for a bit. that would be rude]

[liarliarliar]

[eating his cake, a feather tucked behind an ear]

I should probably bring Sariel some cake or drag him in soon. He's got a bad case of the feelings.

[oneknightsstand]

[eventually flops on a couch with a party hat on, staring at the ceiling. Happy, but also kinda overwhelmed/tired.]

[troublebrewing]

Where did you get the hat? I want one.

[how fucking ridiculous would robin look with a party hat and those weirdass pigtails she wears tho lbr]

[playfair]

[ahhh what a nice morning. BREAKFAST SOUNDS GREAT. he's going to sit and pick at that mostly]

[turnonmycharm]

Enjoying your vacation, Shuri Mayfair?

[boatsights]

[later, also sending another text message]

[arsgoetia]

Yes. Congratulations on surviving to your nineteenth year.
