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!]]

If that's what you want. You don't have to be nice to him—actually, I kinda think he likes it better when you aren't.

[ He's weird like that. ]

[hors_devores]

It isn't even a Monday either~. [ Cause hey that happened too. ]

Certainly, let's go with that. And what are the specifics of your request? [ He's not addressing Erik's comment just shooting him a look. Don't call him out like this okay. ]

[pr159]

...I'll scale my original plan down a bit under the circumstances, but I'd like to return to about an hour before I was originally brought here, and catch a ride to Canaan.

[ He won't ask you to actually fight Chronos for him or anything, even though he sure as fuck would have if he'd gotten that contract!!! ]

[bawcock]

[ Don't be like this then!! He's gonna shrug at Seb at that and step to the side!

Not much he can contribute to this conversation right now. ]

[hors_devores]

The technology we will use to return is something Lucrezia built, but that might be possible if Ango is telling the truth. The second matter however, should be relatively easy once I am acquainted with the local geography. [ He tilts his head. ]

Normally I do not acquiesce to requests, as requests are not an order. However...I suppose you did take matters into your own hands. [ He smiles. ]

This really does remind me of our first meeting, though you've yet to say please.

[pr159]

[ Yeah, he sure did!!! ]

Are we really aiming for nostalgia here?

[ Okay, okay, let's see if he can remember what bullshit phrasing he used last time... ]

If you would please be so kind as to grant me the aforementioned favor, it would be most sincerely appreciated.

[hors_devores]

[ Of course he's going to laugh. ]

In that case, I can't very well refuse such a politely worded request now can I? { Well he could, but there's something be said of both following through and also with how he really didn't mind Rideaux even if he wasn't particularly interested in a contract. ]

[pr159]

I'm glad to hear it.

[ ...And he really, really is, much more than his tone or expression let on. It's the first breath he's been able to take in fifteen years without the threat of being used as Bisley's soul bridge looming over him.

Even if nothing about it is really a sure thing -- how much should he really be trusting a demon, anyway -- and even if there's a decent chance he may end up falling to Chronos or Bisley in Canaan, he'd much rather fight a risky battle than accept a certain death as someone's tool.

And maybe the odds aren't that bad. He's always been pretty good at surviving when no one else wants him to anyway. ]

[hors_devores]

I bet. Well then, is that the extent of your request? [ Just making sure there aren't any other finer details he may have missed. ]

[pr159]

Essentially, yes, though I should probably clarify that Canaan isn't a typical location that can be accessed by ordinary means, or I wouldn't need the assistance getting there in the first place. Word has it it requires the life of a powerful chromatus user.

[ So, yeah, there are some important details. ]

So we would either need to find a way around that, or find Julius before anyone else does.

[hors_devores]

I don't think that will be an issue. If I was unable to accomplish that much I wouldn't be—[ Ah hm, habits! Lightly coughing. ]

Either avenue should be more than feasible.

[pr159]

[ Raises an eyebrow a bit... Not really sure where that was going, but okay. ]

After all the hype, I'd certainly be disappointed if you were.

We'll aim for the first option, then, and resort to the second if that should fail.

[ Not that he wouldn't enjoy killing Julius, but. He might as well give him a chance here too, so long as it doesn't get in the way of his own success. ]
