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!]]

Why thank you, Rideaux. It is good to be back.
[And since he can't resist:]
How are you faring after all of that nonsense? I am rather disappointed that you got to land the killing blow before I was able to get a final word in with her.
[It was definitely a necessary act, though, even if it wasn't as satisfying as he'd have hoped. Of course, he did get to see Rideaux being super desperate too...]
no subject
Try harder not to die next time, then. You're welcome.
no subject
[Dist, he already said it.]
Well, whatever. She got a well-deserved trouncing. That is all we could hope for.
no subject
Of course.
[ He also won't point out that they also could have hoped to disable the gate and bring back the dead, both of which he again played a part in. You're welcome x 3. ]
Well, better luck going forward.
[ He was going to say how helpful having his GHS had been in that last week, but he's not in the mood anymore. ]
no subject
He lets out a slight huff, but otherwise lets that argument diffuse since Rideaux decided not to fan the flames.]
Indeed. I don't intend to squander this second chance.
[At least Terca Lumireis is similar enough to his world, if...a little behind. He can fix that, though.]
What of yourself? We've spoken of your situation back home to an extent... Have you been able to work anything out?
[Wording it specifically to leave out the whole demon contract fiasco.]
no subject
[ ...Mostly Erik is looking into it, actually, but he isn't that eager to get into the demon contract fiasco again either. Or, more importantly, to acknowledge that he's at the mercy of someone ten years his junior again. ]
If I can't either go back to an earlier point in time than I came from or have some guarantee of being able to change things from where they were headed, I'm not going back there, though.
