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. ♥

[It's pretty and cute though...!]

I'm going with Waver. I'm sure no one is surprised.

[A tiny token of friendship! He also sure doesn't look surprised by that at all, yeah.]

I hope the two of you have a wonderful time together.

We will, we will! Where are you headed to?

I'm going back to my own world. There are still a lot of things that I have to finish, you know? ...But I think it might be okay to make room for contact with the rest of you in my story.

Oh, of course. There are people I'd be too sad never to see again, and you're one of them.

Ah, how flattering.

[Said with a lilting note, high-lifting and amused, that makes it easy to see the sentiment is shared.]

We should all get together again someday, if we can. All four of us.

Waver will kill me if I get into trouble right away, but I think someday the four of us can have another escapade.

Oh, I think most of us will need a long rest before we get up to more trouble again, anyway.

["Most". Which yeet is the yeet planning on immediately diving back into danger it's THIS ONE.]

...Most of us?

[He caught that, Souji.]

Times aren't peaceful for me.

[RIGHT OUTTA ONE WAR AND INTO ANOTHER. But this one he's not too discomforted by...]

...No helping it. But if you don't stay alive I think Veronica will dropkick your entire army.

[HONESTLY, HE'D BELIEVE IT. The power of yeet is so strong in Veronica... Souji laughs a little, clearly amused.]

I wouldn't want for her to have to do something like that. I'm sure she'd like a rest as much as any of us.

She deserves not to have to worry about us getting ourselves in trouble for a while.

After everything she's had to deal with? I can't disagree in the least...

She deserves a medal. I should make her a medal before I go.

[He thinks he can probably do something in the tailor's that's medal-ish...]

That might not be a bad idea. Maybe I'll make her something, too...

[A little note that just says "sorry for the yeet".]

The cranes are cute. I think she'd like one.

[you can write 'sorry for the yeet' on it]

[PERFECT.]

I was already planning to. I'd like to leave her with a token of remembrance.

Personally, I doubt she'll be forgetting you any time soon.

[Or the heart attacks Souji caused her.]

[He's cemented himself as the heart attack-giving yeet and he is so proud.]

True... I think it'd be hard to forget anything about this place.

[Both good and bad, honestly.]

There are a few things I'd like to forget...

[His breakdown midtrial would be one of them.]

[REAL.]

You could probably use your ink to do that, if you really wanted. Still...

[Well, he's of the opinion that even the bad is worth remembering, because of course he is.]

...It led to some better things, so I won't forget. Even if it's tempting.

I'm glad. It would be a little silly having to explain things you were there for as if you weren't, you know?

This whole situation is already silly enough.
