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

Maybe not everyone, but I've already heard from a few people that they're writing in abilities like being able to travel to other worlds or receive and send mail.

[He'd personally prefer being able to worldhop, himself, but he'll have to wait and see how much ink he has leftover after he helps Tiger and Dragon out.]

[resumed]

I didn't even really think of that. [That. Seems so obvious too.] I guess I'm not used to being able to write in whatever I want to happen. It's usually predetermined.

[sanguinairy]

[HONESTLY FAIR it sure wouldn't have occurred to him if he hadn't heard it from someone else, first...]

It's strange, isn't it? [Almost feels like cheating, somehow.] I'm not used to that sort of thing, either. I don't really know if I'll be able to put it to good use.

[resumed]

I think as long as you're satisfied with whatever you do, that's good use. It's more of a waste if you don't try at all.

[sanguinairy]

Ah, those sound like very wise words.

[And who is Souji if not someone who definitely tries his dang best?? The results may be questionable as they sometimes are, but it's fine, they're fine.]

I'll miss being able to speak with you about these things.

[And everything else, too. Gross, what a sap.]

[resumed]

[Souji wtf that's too nice? He looks a little baffled, but his expression smooths out to something more...grateful, maybe.]

Someday we'll meet again. I'm sure of it.

[sanguinairy]

[He is A SAP!! And he seems perfectly pleased with a promise to meet again, as saps do.]

I'll be looking forward to that day. Try to stay out of trouble until then, alright?

[resumed]

Are you going to do the same? [He has the feeling the answer is a fat resounding NO, so.]

[sanguinairy]

[HIS FEELING IS ENTIRELY ACCURATE.]

Well, you see, the thing is - I try to stay out of trouble. It just seems to find me anyway?

[resumed]

...you remind me of someone, I think. I imagine he'd say the same thing and I'll tell you what I would tell him. [A deadeyed stare.] Try harder.

[sanguinairy]

[THIS BOY SLAYS. Souji immediately cracks up because of course he does...]

There isn't any way I could possibly say no to that!
