WELCOME

EPILOGUE

As the world they've been living in so long quickly dissolves around them, the oppressive air from the Gate fades away from their senses and their vision turns turns completely white. It only takes an instant for their sight to return, but when it does, they'll find themselves in the same dim, dank chamber that they were in a moment before albeit with several main differences: the Gate and the machines that were clustered near it are now gone.

However, you'll only be able to take in this sight for a few seconds before the scenery blurs and suddenly there's the scent of the cool December air brushing past your face, blinding sunlight assaulting the eyes.

It's been six weeks since you've seen anything but the night, so it may take a bit of adjustment before realizing that there's a number of very, very familiar faces before you, as well as one who might not be so recognizable. Either way, one thing is for sure: that long, long Night is over, and it's the start of another Day.

Witamy w Krakowie.

[[Everyone will find themselves in the Main Square. Furthermore, those who had body horror will find that all traces of it are gone!]]

[ Among all the survivors, no in-births, you'll find someone who doesn't belong. His red eyes look familiar though, even if his looks have changed yet again. ]

My, the sun is nice to see even for someone like me. [ Feel free to yell at him, fight him, or really just ask him if he can send them all home. ]

[twoasone]

[ The voice is familiar... Though Shin will seek him out in private. ]

... Rembrandt, was it? Did you... Did you somehow undo whatever price she put on taking her hints?

[hors_devores]

Do you really believe me to be that generous? [ He laughs. ] Not intentionally, at least but it seems to have been a byproduct of closing the gate.

Ah, and Rembrandt is my name no longer but call me what you like for now.

[twoasone]

That's why I asked, you didn't seem the type and there was no other explanation.

[ Shin is gonna stick to Rembrandt for now, Nameless Demon doesn't have a good ring to it. ]

Either way, I'm glad things turned out well enough... [ He pauses for a moment. ]

... You don't mind telling me how much time passed for me back home? You took me at an inconvenient time, you know.

[ Remember that masked kid that was following Shin down that long flight of stairs? The kid probably saw you. ]

[hors_devores]

I haven't the faintest idea. [ Smile! ] But I believe that machine has a calibration you could take advantage of.

[twoasone]

Calibration?

[ He raises an eyebrow. ] Does that machine even exist anymore?

[notbymyside]

...forgive me for saying this, but I'm glad you look different than you did at that confrontation.

[hors_devores]

You wound me, truly. It's as I said, being in my true form is hardly conducive to conducting business in the human world.

[notbymyside]

I can certainly see why it would.

But I must thank you, for bringing everyone here safely.

[hors_devores]

It was an order, and who am I to refuse? [ It's said pretty lightly though, because he could have not half-assed it but decided to do the right thing for once in his damn life. ]

[tokihanate]

[ Just. Waiting here. Not talking to him, waiting a bit ways away, looking around for someone. ]

[hors_devores]

[ .........??? ]

[tokihanate]

[ He needs to enjoy something, okay? ]

[bawcock]

[ He's seen those red eyes enough times to recognize them! He's still unsure because, what the hell dude, shapeshifting doesn't give you the right to change your face so often.

Approaching anyway. ]

Do you still want me to call you Rembrandt?

[hors_devores]

No. As my new master, you are free to give me whichever name you like. And if this form does not suit you, I will change it as well.

[bawcock]

[ It's creepy when he's so obedient. ]

I'll leave a name and form up to you. You've been around long enough that you have to have a favorite.

[hors_devores]

I shall keep this form then, I believe. [ He's... kind of fond of it for reasons. And enjoy this obedience while it lasts because he will be back to throwing roses at you in short order. ]

As for my name.... I shall think on it. This is the first time someone has not named me after someone they despised, or their dog.

[reanbeans]

[ He's frowning a little, but will carefully approach. ]

...Rem, that's you, isn't it?

[hors_devores]

Hello, Rean. And yes it is, though I do not answer to that name any longer. Call me devil or whatever you like in its stead. [ He smiles in contrast. ]

[reanbeans]

[ STILL frowning a little, though it remained for a variety of reasons, which Seb has just added onto atm.

Though that turned contemplative, remembering when he saved the cats. Somehow he recalled that in his memory, because he paid great attention to his surroundings. And uh, his dialogue in the confrontation. ]

...So, even something like Kitty Lover?

[hors_devores]

[ Silence, and then he laughs. ]

There are worse names to be called, and felines truly are divine ♥. [ This is the only time you will ever see me use a heart with him. ]

[deadlygoals]

[ He's definitely holding himself similarly and there's a certain air about it. ]

It is pretty nice.

[hors_devores]

Humans require much more sunlight than demons do.

[deadlygoals]

We do. Even the ones that are used to living in darkness.

[ Looking him over. ]

I hope your new master isn't dull.

[hors_devores]

[ He laughs lightly. ]

I wouldn't have picked him if he was.
