[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'm tired. Usually I want everyone to stay a little longer but today I just want everyone to go so I can nap.

A ten hour nap isn't a nap is it.

[takes the controller]

I think it depends on what time of day it is.

[liarliarliar]

[we gonna teamwork this very simple cute colorful game]

Time currently doesn't feel real.

[rollwillpowercheck]

I mean, time is mostly a lie, except that we as a society agree on it.

[liarliarliar]

I feel like even if they didn't we'd still realize it's some finite thing.

[rollwillpowercheck]

Probably. Though it's weird to think that our units of time are pretty arbitrary.

[liarliarliar]

Well, time comes in handy for things.

Like me getting birthday presents.

So I'll not look at it too hard.

[rollwillpowercheck]

[l-laughs]

You make a very good point.

[liarliarliar]

Although if you're here on my birthday something has probably gone very wrong.

[rollwillpowercheck]

Maybe get extra cake, just in case you suddenly have a dozen extra people at your birthday party.

[liarliarliar]

I feel bad about my jealousy but if Madison's new horde of beautiful boys show up on my birthday that second cake is for a food fight.

[rollwillpowercheck]

I don't think anyone could really blame you for that. A bunch of strangely-attractive versions of historical figures....

[liarliarliar]

They're so handsome and generically kind.

[rollwillpowercheck]

One of them offered to teach me magic.

[liarliarliar]

[half heartedly]

Traitor~

But that sounds like something you'd like.

[rollwillpowercheck]

Considering that everything I know is self-taught and based on books or the experience of having someone else do magic in my body... it's probably for the best, right?

[liarliarliar]

You're a wizard, Bakura~

Learn some cool stuff. I bet you could become really strong.

[rollwillpowercheck]

I mean, I play one in Monster World... but I don't think that's the kind of experience that transfers over to reality.

[liarliarliar]

Monster World?

[rollwillpowercheck]

Oh, it's a TRPG I've been playing for years. Though a lot of the time I DM.

[liarliarliar]

Oh no that's cute.

[rollwillpowercheck]

... is it?

[liarliarliar]

You're such a nerd!

[rollwillpowercheck]

This isn't news to either of us! I've always been a nerd!

[liarliarliar]

I know. But it's still endearing.
