[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 ♥]

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

[turnonmycharm]

Enjoying your vacation, Shuri Mayfair?

[playfair]

...Yyyes? It's okay? Is this a trick question?

[turnonmycharm]

Not at all.

[playfair]

...Are you enjoying your vacation?

[HOW DO YOU LIKE THAT... A TASTE OF YOUR OWN MEDICINE...........]

[turnonmycharm]

Is that what this is . . .?

[playfair]

You called it that first! I'm just saying what you said. It's not really that much of a vacation for me either.

[telepathetically]

Hey I need David's address.

Also I want to be a jerk and send a postcard in code.

[playfair]

What kind of code?! ♥

[but sure. even if they don't have reception, LET'S JUST SAY that somehow Shuri has David's address on his phone, amazing. so he's digging that out]

[telepathetically]

[put that contact list to good use]

I need one that's easy enough for them to work out, but too hard to just let Google solve it.

[playfair]

Do you think there's a key that they could figure out kinda-easily, but not too easily? You could probably just put it in Vigenère if you have one of those.

[telepathetically]

Yeah, I mean, it's a postcard so I can use one of the words on the front for a key. See how long it takes them to use the obvious.

[playfair]

Oh, that sounds good!

I mean as long as the message isn't actually secret.

Do you think you can do that much yourself or what?

[telepathetically]

I THINK so... Putting it together is easier than solving it, this just feels like math.

[playfair]

It's a lot easier!

If they ask me for help I won't give them any.

[telepathetically]

Great, thanks. I'm sure they could use the practice, anyways.

[playfair]

Probably. I can't be everywhere all the time~

[telepathetically]

If only summoning was that convenient.

[playfair]

Well, it's nicer to know what's going on instead of getting summoned randomly in the middle of nowhere...

[telepathetically]

Well, yeah, obviously.

[playfair]

So I'd rather get told to go places the normal way instead of being summoned even if summoning might be faster. So everyone else needs to pick up the slack in the meantime!

[telepathetically]

Can you imagine? "We need to solve this cipher, but let's wait until Shuri gets here. His flight lands in 13 hours."

[playfair]

You would all die way before then!

[telepathetically]

Probably!

[playfair]

So that's why you need to at least learn Atbash or something!
