[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.

I hope it wasn't too frightening.

[bowtiedbones]

Actually the frightening thing to ever happen to me, ever? But I survived and didn't get hurt, so I'll be over it soon.

[ancestuous]

Ah...

[considers that for a bit]

It was frightening, I agree. But we're safe now.

[bowtiedbones]

Are the people who live here going to be safe? I don't understand it all, but the gist sounded really bad.

[ancestuous]

I don't really know, to be honest. I know that I've been called here a few times in the past to assist with something - years have gone by in each incident, if I remember correctly. Those times ended peacefully like this, so I think they are safe if only for now.

But there may be another day when they call us back, from the sound of things.

[bowtiedbones]

Wait, really? Years? How many years?

[ancestuous]

The first time I saw Madison, he was a child.

[bowtiedbones]

Wow, so like you got to watch him grow up.
