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!]]

[...he still expected everything to go all pear-shaped in the home stretch, really, so seeing the sunlight and the real Krakow is just...

Well, he looks as dumbfounded as he’s been feeling for the past while, and he almost... kind of collapses in... relief? Exhaustion? Yeah, it’s probably exhaustion. He’s just... wow, this has all been a lot, and he looks for something to steady himself on something or other.]


It’s... really over, then...

...Yes, it is.

[ He sighed, though that being said... ]

I think I owe you an apology, for getting out of sorts there at the final stretch, and being unable to get it all under control for a long while.
baitless: a very subtle smile. (ah yes st. cethleann.)

Ah, it is fine, Rean.

[honestly, even if that was something that left him screaming, but...]

I am just glad you are doing alright now. I think we were all in something of a state.

[ Haha, yeah...he's sure it did. ]

Yeah...uh, thank you.

[ He wiped at his eyes a little. That was a bit embarrassing, but...Seteth didn't seem to be treating him differently after that, so he breathed a little easier. ]

I think so too. It got really difficult for a second, since we were not only fighting for our lives, but a way to get out of there, with the dead's...so I guess we all really felt desperate.
baitless: he looks a bit tired, but less intensely so. (how vaguely and unhelpfully can i put it)

[it’s still less scary than Rhea gets sometimes so you know!!]

Yes, exactly.

...honestly, I still find myself wondering if we did the right thing, even if we’re all alive and well right now. I suppose there’s no helping that end of things, though.

[ Rhea...yikes (tm) ]

I'd been wondering the same.

I don't think it's unnatural to, considering the circumstances, but...I'm glad that we all made it out all the same. I feel like there's only so much we could've done in our situation.

Yes, definitely. Things rarely work out perfectly even in the best of circumstances, so I suppose this is not too surprising.

Even so, it is easy to second guess yourself.

[personal profile] reanbeans 2020-02-16 08:05 am (UTC)(link)
...I understand.

I've been doing the same ever since it all ended, wondering if there was anything we could do. But...I guess there's really nothing to be done for it.

[ ... ]

At least our new surroundings look nice too.
baitless: a very subtle smile. (ah yes st. cethleann.)

[...man, that fucking way the lady died was some shit, honestly, that's gonna keep him up at night...]

Well. We are alive and well, and we get to see how everything looks in the sunlight. That is, perhaps, good enough.

It is~ It is~

[ He says, from the ground as well. ]

Ah, never thought the sun would feel so good.

[...he almost kind of does want to lay down on the payment, actually.......]

It's amazing how much better something feels when you haven't had it in so long, isn't it?

[personal profile] raventhaw 2020-02-16 09:22 am (UTC)(link)
It is.

[ thank gods it is. ]

You were shaken up back there. I hope you're managing a little better now.

[ wow...a nice thing!! from raven!! ]

Well. I think if things had turned out worse, I would not be.

[HEAVY SIGH.....]

But I think I have... calmed down a touch.
