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

[HE DOESN'T but yes fortunately the name is self-explanatory.]

We couldn't possibly get into enough trouble to need actual saving.

[He says it with such a straight face...]

[vigilantics]

Hm, you're right. We're all very well behaved.

[ she nods her head, as if there hasn't been two months worth of events that prove the opposite. ]

[sanguinairy]

[They're both keeping such straight faces, this is criminal.]

Any world would be happy to host us, right?

[vigilantics]

Yeah. We're like, the life of the party.

[ even when they were dying. ]

But a very polite party. Obviously.

[sanguinairy]

[THIS IS NOT UNTRUE, HONESTLY.]

It's a pretty amazing thing to be polite and the life of the party at the same time.

[vigilantics]

It is. Not everyone can manage it, but we definitely can.

[ she actually means it.... ]

[sanguinairy]

We just sound more and more impressive the longer our list of accomplishments go.

[-Dancing despite dying
-Being the polite life of the party
-?????

Doing good, team.]

[vigilantics]

Yeah. I'm pretty proud of us.

[ she means that seriously though. they managed not to bad end the game, and tiger didn't attempt to murder the shit out of dragon like she wanted to. ]

[sanguinairy]

[IT'S TRUE things did, miraculously, end up a lot better than they could... have...]

People have a lot to be proud of here. [Gently inclining his head.] You, especially.

[The viziers collectively saved everyone's asses, okay.]

[vigilantics]

I'm not too sure about that.

[ from their side of things, it mostly just felt like they were running around in circles and screaming a lot. ]

[sanguinairy]

[That seems to be how everyone felt about their own activities, honestly.]

Then just trust me on this one.

[vigilantics]

[ she wants to argue!!

... but just sighs. ]

Well, trusting you hasn't let me down so far.

[sanguinairy]

[Bless her for letting him win this one because HE WOULD HAVE ARGUED RIGHT BACK!!

Anyway, after a light little laugh:]

Well, if there's even one thing I can guarantee, it's that I won't let you down if you trust me.

[vigilantics]

Yeah. I know.

[ she just smiles at him. ]

You're pretty cool like that.

[sanguinairy]

[Don't get all this gross friendship mush on him, Stephanie!! He'll only get mushy right back!!]

Thank you. You're a-- ah, what was it? Dude...? You're a pretty cool dude, too.

[There you go, a parting gift.]

[vigilantics]

[ this is honestly the best thing that absolutely anyone could have given her here. she's beaming at him. ]

That's the sweetest thing anyone has ever said to me.

[sanguinairy]

[True friendship is expressed in the amount of smiles your "dude"s can bring to someone's face.]

I'm only saying what's true. [A little quirk of a bright smile!] ...Let's meet again soon, alright?

[vigilantics]

Yeah, don't worry. You'll be seeing my face so many times that you're going to start asking me to leave you alone.

[ okay she doubts souji would, but still. ]

[sanguinairy]

[Yeah there's no way. THERE'S NO WAY. Souji loves Stephanie too much, she can come live in his house and it'd be fine. Except for the whole middle of wartime thing, hm.]

Ah, that's a good joke! I don't think it's possible, though.

[vigilantics]

[ it's okay, she's one of the people who would not really mind that much at wandering around in the middle of a war because what is a peaceful life anyway. ]

You never know. Maybe I might insult your favorite food and you'll need some space from me.

[sanguinairy]

[Then clearly he's gotta give her the Full Boshin War Tour! Buckle up it's a wild ride.]

Well, my tastes aren't too weird, so I don't think that's something I'll have to worry about! Probably.

[vigilantics]

Hm... what's your favorite food?

[ she realizes she does not actually know this. ]

[sanguinairy]

Mmm, that's a tough one... But I think if I had to pick just one thing to eat forever, it would be chestnut wagashi! Ooh, but mochi is also quite good. Sakura mochi, especially! And dango - the tri-colored kind. Or honeycomb squares... Those brown sugar cookies, maybe? Konpeito is nice, too.

[These

are all desserts.]

[vigilantics]

[ she is

she is realizing this ]

Souji... I see a trend.

[sanguinairy]

Hmm, really? Are you sure about that?

[COME AT HIM and his giant sweettooth.]
