EPILOGUE ;

The End
EPILOGUE - WEEK 7
40 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. ♥

[It's a grin Ibuse recognizes, the Dazai-is-a-troublemaker-but-he's-trying-so-what-can-you-do grin, and it relieves some of his own concerns.]

You must be the Waver I've been told about.

['Told about' might be too generous since it's hard for Dazai to get words out between sobs. He's still crying, but it's happy crying?]
londonstar: (one.)

[personal profile] londonstar 2018-07-29 06:42 pm (UTC)(link)
Yes, something like that.

[ he'd yell at dazai to not call him waver in public, but it seems that the guy is too busy crying. he'll cut him some slack for today. ]

You're not one I recognize, however.
thesalamander: (take them down to the riverside)

Ibuse Masuji.

[The name might not be as famous as Dazai's, but only slightly less so - he was Dazai's mentor for practically all of his career, up until Dazai's death.

Dazai asked him to legally adopt him once. He declined, but there's no doubt their relationship was parental in some sense.]


I understand he's going home with you? ...Assuming that he told you before he told me.

[Ibuse knows Dazai could very well just assume that he'l be welcome in Waver's home. He's not wrong.]
londonstar: (fifty-seven.)

[personal profile] londonstar 2018-07-29 07:00 pm (UTC)(link)
Yes. [ he crosses his arms, sighing despite the smile on his face. it's a mix of resignation and...happiness. he's never had anyone rooming with him since-- ]

I'll keep him busy enough to make him wish he hadn't invited himself into my house. I'd say I'd become his tutor but...it's a tad unethical.
thesalamander: (and drop them in a teacup)

[personal profile] thesalamander 2018-07-29 07:07 pm (UTC)(link)
Personally, I don't think that's possible.

[Dazai, mumbling into Ibuse's shirt:] Being a live-in maid sounds nice.
londonstar: (sixty.)

[personal profile] londonstar 2018-07-29 07:12 pm (UTC)(link)
[ DAZAI???????????????????????????

waver just. stares at dazai's back. then at ibuse. then back at dazai.

maybe if he just ignores that, he won't die of embarrassment. ]


I'll find a way. I deal with unruly and problematic students every day. And I don't need a live-in maid, I'll ship you straight back to Japan in a damn box if you say something stupid like that again!

[ so much for ignoring ]
thesalamander: (to be swept up by a current)

[personal profile] thesalamander 2018-07-29 07:15 pm (UTC)(link)
[Ibuse can't help but laugh at that, even as he pats Dazai on the head. He certainly knows how to pick them.]

I'm sure you two will be very happy together. You don't even need this old man's advice.
londonstar: (fifty-four.)

[personal profile] londonstar 2018-07-30 05:23 am (UTC)(link)
I--

[ well, that's definitely enough to make waver blush a little? damn it. ]

Thank you. I'm sorry he had to bring this up so suddenly but...everything for us has been like that as of late.
thesalamander: (who grew so old)

[Young love is so cute.]

I understand, don't worry about a thing. Anyone would say these are extreme circumstances.
