[Game 21] Epilogue

[arsgoetia]

So, you get your Philly cheesesteak, and you head back on another train, returning to New York at fuck o'clock in the morning. Maybe you get a nap on the train, or maybe you're full of yawns and misery as you head back to Sariel's house at the crack of dawn. Paz went on her merry way with wonderful promises for the future, but Hale is with you, seeming remarkably energetic.

Madison is just barely held back by Kieran, it seems, from just sprinting out the door as soon as you get anywhere near the yard. As it stands, as soon as you all make your way past the gate, there's a redhead barreling down to greet you.

[the yellow crystal drifts towards him]

That one should be safe. They're not gemstones, but crystallized prana, and they retain the properties of their element.

[yeah, it's basically an astonishingly pure, hyperdense crystal]

[boatsights]

I . . . hope he will be.

[ i like, reappear when we get into the yard but just hanging out over here, pleased that you are ok! and having family moments! i approve of family moments if they're... good ones... ]

[liarliarliar]

It was obnoxious but it could have been worse.

Just anger themed box nonsense.

[boatsights]

. . .


[bursts into tears]

[beginningofwisdom]

Hello to you too.

[his tone is fond. a good boy, a good master.]

Your aid was invaluable; thank you.

[defendless]

That's Zeno's good point, but thank you kindly.

[boatsights]

[I'm sorry that you have to specify]

Arthur!

[liarliarliar]

[shoulder pats]

It'll be nice stuff. He's a fancy rich boy.

[boatsights]

It—it was the least I could do!

[psychopompous]

[draws back abruptly, tone suddenly sharp]

Did you know?

[aethericbody]

Well that, yes, but I mean...

Does it hurt here? [taps his own chest over the heart]

[beginningofwisdom]

Even so.

[onelastknight]

[ i've been through some wild shit ] Madison. We're back safe.

[defendless]

[grins]

Excellent!

[tenebrat]

He pushed himself a bit much, I think. ... so I hope so too.

[ pretty worried actually ]

[boatsights]

[taken aback at first, then holding his ground]

I knew some things. But your actions are your own.

[liarliarliar]

Oh...

[hugs tighter]

I'm sorry. I'm sorry I worried you. I'm sorry my feelings were dumb. I'm sorry I couldn't...

I'm sorry, Maddy. But I'm here now and you're here and...

[boatsights]

. . .

. . . . . . . .

[flings his arms around Arthur Pendragon and gives him a hug]

[boatsights]

[just shaking his head, holding onto him tightly]

[monere]

Ehh. Is it always like that? I get the impression that this is kinda an ongoing thing.

[defendless]

[oh no

oh no you're cute.]

That's just how it goes sometimes.

[onelastknight]

[ oh no jeez a hug. HUGGING BACK. YOU'RE CUTE. JEEZ ]

[boatsights]

That was pretty cool!

[aethericbody]

Oh, I see what you mean. We have similar crystals in Eorzea, but they're usually too corrupted and unstable to use for anything without some hefty processing.
