[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 mean, I was actually cursed for part of the time too, but the fan club was worse in terms of day-to-day inconvenience.

[liarliarliar]

Cursed with good looks and charm?

[rollwillpowercheck]

I mean, I was thinking about the Ancient Egyptian artifact housing a vengeful spirit, but.

[liarliarliar]

How do you even find an artifact like that in Japan...

[rollwillpowercheck]

I didn't. My father deals in antiquities, and he used to take me along on his trips when I was little. My... memory's pretty hazy on the details, but I think he found it in a tomb while we were in Egypt.

[liarliarliar]

That's...

I'd say it seems crazy but considering.

[gestures to just. Everything]

[rollwillpowercheck]

Nothing much seems crazy anymore, huh? Ah, but you know, that's why I was really surprised the first time I met Elli and Luka. It was nostalgic. Not so much for me, because I never had a very good relationship with the spirit, but one of my friends was in a similar situation.

[liarliarliar]

It's starting to sound weirdly common....

Did your friend break up with their carryon?

[rollwillpowercheck]

He moved on to the afterlife. No more unfinished business, time for eternal rest and all that.

[liarliarliar]

That's weird to think about...

But I guess if you're a ghost you been around for awhile.

[rollwillpowercheck]

Not as long as you'd think! But... basically.

[liarliarliar]

And yours is gone too I'd assume.

[rollwillpowercheck]

[makes a face]

He got himself obliterated.

[liarliarliar]

And...?

[rollwillpowercheck]

And nothing. It was pretty anticlimactic on my end.

[liarliarliar]

And you still had a fanclub to worry about.

[rollwillpowercheck]

And entrance exams.

[liarliarliar]

The trick is to drop out and then that's not a problem at all.

[rollwillpowercheck]

I guess that was technically an option.
