The End EPILOGUE - WEEK 740 Narrators End ; Wake up, Narrators. You've done well this past weekend. As you awaken on this beautiful morning, the doors to the castle are wide open and a festive mood fills the air. Music can be heard from the garden and the ballroom, the dining room's overflowing with tasty treats and beverages, and everything is awash in a soft glow of purples, reds, and golds. Yet as you exit from your dormitories for the last time, several things will be noticeable to you... Lining the hallways, several new ornate mirrors flank either wall. Each mirror is engraved with the name of a Narrator and allows each participant of this war to view their world back home. They will be able to see who they wish to see and the current state of affairs in their world. They will also, thanks to their adventures in the Other Space, be able to view the future of their home worlds and what's at stake for them. No matter where they are in the castle, each Narrator will also find themselves presented with a leatherbound book, a jar of ink and a fresh quill. As they open the book they will see a write-up of their story up until now with several blank pages at the end of the book. As promised, the ink won by the Dragon's ending is enough to allow Narrators to write their own happy endings... even those that directly clash with what they've been able to witness for themselves in the mirrors. Go ahead, write yourself into the universe of another Narrator. The story is yours to tell. Alternatively - if you seek to write a new story for yourself entirely, additional pages will be provided for you to draft up that fresh start. Meanwhile, the longer you linger around the castle it will become clear that it's much noisier than it should be for only forty people. Venturing further downstairs you will find several guests waiting for you. Some of these may be people you know from your own worlds, brought here to take you home thanks to the extra magic obtained from the Other Space. Others are past participants from previous rounds of this war, battle stories and triumphs to share. Apparently they'd received an invitation to a celebration to mark the end of it all. Even those who had died from previous rounds and not revived are present. While it had been thought that they'd been lost in the Other Side when there was not enough ink to revive them - it appears that they'd been given new life via your efforts. The clock in the foyer seems to have stopped. Take all the time you need to say your goodbyes... you are in charge of your own destiny from here on out. Welcome to your farewell log, everyone! A couple of fun notes for your perusal. Due to the efforts of characters yesterday in the mini-adventures, characters have unlocked the ability to preview their futures and decide their own destinies. Additionally, they have unlocked the ability for castmates to visit them in the castle, along with characters who have participated in previous rounds of the war! Please feel free to tag in with your gamemates' castmates or other characters from previous rounds that you can make your own Grimm AU for. If you want to share where your character is going, comment here. Your final CR chart is here, your TL;CR meme is here and your friending/love meme is here. Thank you guys so much for a wonderful eight weeks! We hope you had a magical experience here with us. ♥ full navigation. locations taken (statuses) stories (profiles) info & faq wishing well private conversations

[She didn't spend this long looking into her mirror. So she watches for a moment before placing her hand in his.]

Are you really going to spend all day watching this?

[doublecrows]

No.

[it's her hand that tears him away from the mirror, and he smiles for her]

I suppose none of it matters anymore. I'm not longer traversing the path that would lead me to this end.

[disclosures]

[There, that's much better, he's not looking at what looks like his death on repeat.]

Then there's no reason to stand in front of this mirror, is there?

[doublecrows]

[Rebecca. . .]

[a light chuckle]

No, I suppose not. Have you decided? Will you come with Eichi and I?

[disclosures]

[There was a reason she immediately pulled back from her own, you know. That's not the future she has to be resigned to.]

I have. I'm coming with you. I mean, I already decided that a while back.

... You are going to therapy though. I'll find something.

[doublecrows]

[he seems. . . relieved that she says yes]

[and then put out when she mentions therapy again]

Didn't I already say that therapy won't do much to help me?

[disclosures]

[She... reaches up and cups his face so he's forced to see her annoyed expression.]

I bet you haven't even tried it. Look, I'll go if you go.

[doublecrows]

You said that last time.

[:/]

[disclosures]

[She's still holding his face.]

And I meant it. I won't even leave in the middle of sessions.

[Like she has... every other time she went to therapy.]

[doublecrows]

[uuuUUUUUUGH]

. . . all right.

[he agrees, but it is definitely with a whole lot of resistance]

[disclosures]

[There.]

Don't worry, it's not that bad. [Rebecca has left every single one of her therapy sessions in the middle.]

Now, what do you want to do when we get there?

[doublecrows]

Didn't you say you used to leave in the middle of your sessions?

[how can it be "not that bad" Rebecca!]

I'll have to leave that up to Eichi. He'll need to show us around, and get us settled in. Oh-- you'll have to rewrite your future so that you can speak Japanese as well.

[disclosures]

It was for love! Besides, I got blackmailed into going there the first time, I just had to go, I didn't have to stay. [rebecca

But at least she'll let go of his face.]

I can rewrite my past for that. I studied Mandarin in college, it's not that hard to go back and write in Japanese.

[doublecrows]

Be careful, or I may use that logic against you the first time I leave mid-session.

[just saying!!]

Rewriting one's past takes far more ink than rewriting one's future. Be careful not to waste it all on something so trivial.

[disclosures]

I'll be standing at the entrance making sure you don't leave. You can stop me from leaving too.

[She gives a shrug.] There aren't that many things I want to change. I'm going with you and I'm learning a language. That's... enough for me.

[Well there's one more thing, but that's just for her.]

[doublecrows]

[he blinks at her]

Is it? Truly?

[is there nothing else she desires?]

[disclosures]

[Alright, well, he asked.]

I want to know what's wrong with me, but that's what therapy is for.

I know I don't want to write a love story into this. Better to have that just happen.
