[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 ♥]

It's really popular! It's a netflix original series that got an ad in the.

[makes a throwing gesture]

The american football game. That's.

The Superbowl the word is Superbowl.

[boatsights]

[just grinning at him more and more teasingly the more that Kano stammers]

Were you watching sports, Shuuya?

[liarliarliar]

I watched the commercials and halftime show.

[boatsights]

Who was it this year?

[this may or may not be the most Madison has kept focus in a conversation about Normal Things in the entire time you've known him]

[liarliarliar]

Birds and uh. [snaps fingers a few times, struggling to remember]

Falcons and Patriots.

[boatsights]

[. . . leans against him]

I have a lot to catch up on.

[liarliarliar]

I promise to show you things besides youtube videos.

[this is nice and comfy. Yawns a little]

But there will be a good portion of youtube.

[boatsights]

Sounds fun.

. . . I never really. Had interest in—anything. And now I feel like I couldn't possibly get enough.

[liarliarliar]

I remember that actually. I'm excited to see what you'll get into now that you're into the whole existing thing.

Maybe you'll end up an edgy metalhead or a delinquent.

[boatsights]

[l-laughs]

Um. Do you think that's likely.

[liarliarliar]

Anything is possible. I mean.

Look at our lives.

[boatsights]

[gives him a peck on the cheek]

I was thinking of taking up knitting?

[liarliarliar]

Make me a blanket.

[boatsights]

Okay, okay. What color?

[liarliarliar]

[tugs on Madison's hair]

Red. Like your hair.

Did you know red is the color of a hero?

[boatsights]

[leaning into that, breathlessly happy]

Now who's being sappy.

A hero, huh?

[liarliarliar]

It's not sappy it's just how it is. I can't help that.

You are my~ hero though. Saving this clumsy boy.

[idly plays with Madison's hair as he chats, starting to braid]

[boatsights]

[we are gonna be That Couple, huh]

Do you like my hair long like this?

[liarliarliar]

Yes. I mean if you want to cut it I won't get mad. But before you do I want a chance to play with it.

Twintails Madison has to happen.

[boatsights]

First wings, now this? Shuuya's imagination is wild.

[liarliarliar]

That's your fault for being so good for fantasies.

[boatsights]

[shivers and lets out a laugh, lashes a little heavy, leaning into Kano's touch]

Um. Even better now. I hope?

[liarliarliar]

Yes.

But now the fantasies can become reality.

If we can get to a place without people everywhere.

[why are there so many people here why. Look how appealing this boy is being in my direction!!!!]

[liarliarliar]

Ah, I need to have more charm points to match up after you raised the bar.

[boatsights]

[bursts out laughing, flushing red]

We'll go home, soon, soon.

. . . . um. You don't need any more charm points. I'd get even more overwhelmed.
