[Game 21] That Night

After everyone has gotten fed and had a chance to learn the basic details of what things are like here, Kieran calls you all together (pretty much because Madison had been trying to work up the steam to do so, so Kieran stepped in instead).

It's dark outside, and a little chill—about 9 or 10PM.

"Okay, guys," Kieran says. "So, Maddy's got enough train tickets for all of us minus two. Maddy's staying behind because of prophecy reasons, and I'm going to stay with him so he's not left alone in this house and also because I'm probably a killswitch for a powerful incubus, aka my boyfriend, showing up if anything happens to me and, by extension, Maddy." He delivers this all in a deadpan. "Anything else, Maddy?"

Maddy looks a little alarmed to be put on the spot, shaking his head and flushing a little. "Er. Not for now. Oh . . . if anything goes. Weird? Please listen to Sariel—he's . . . in charge?" And he hands over an envelope to everyone's favourite psychopomp.

Mmm.

How long until we're there, niichan?

About an hour and a half. It shouldn't be long.

I wish we had more to go on . . .
liarliarliar: (Just another lie.)

We'll manage. We always do.

Yeah.

Hopefully things fall into place.

And you're here with me.

You won't let anything bad happen.

You're so cool.
