FINALE

[whimsicalism]

End of the Tale

It's... over. Mostly, anyway. A decision has reluctantly been made by the group about the doll that started this mess and it seems that, perhaps, it's time to at least get a grip on what's going to come next. Not just for you but for everyone here. Nanami has cleared the way to the Academy and the Little Brothers are there to lend hands if needed against any stray monsters.

Take a deep breath of sea air. It's been a stressful seven weeks but maybe you'll be able to put all this behind you for good soon. It might take days, weeks, months, or even years yet... It's a small comfort but when the night comes it's a moonless night.

It seems the game of the Kaguya Doll is truly over for good.

OOC

Thank you for your participation in Round 2, everyone! This is your golden ending log. You may celebrate, cry, mock Kakuya or Father. Father is still in his cube and the sheep aren't exactly happy with him and will bring him up for you to throw water at. This is a post purely for Round 2. Tomorrow at 12 PST/3 EST we will be posting a reunion post for R1, R2, and castmates either played by other players in this game or NPCed by them. We hope you've enjoyed this round as much as we have.

[There's still some sunlight, so Edward does not come up next to him, but does regard him from inside the shadow of the building.]

I didn't think you sang, only played.

[The words are mild and warm and perhaps slightly teasing. It feels like a weight has been lifted, after everything that has happened.]

I don't really sing... often. But... It's a lullaby my mom sang to me and my brothers when we were still eggs. Then my Uncle Donald took to singing it to us when she was gone for a while.

It's special to me.

[He smiles just a little, a fleeting thing, at those words.]

It's a beautiful song.

[lets_dewey_it]

Yeah... It makes me feel better, thinking about it.

[Dryly:]

We can use all of that we can stand.

Thank you, by the way. For... for helping.

[lets_dewey_it]

...Of course, bud.

[bellabellabella]

[He laughs at that, a very little, voice soft and wry.]

I'll be honest, I expected a lot more anger if I ever... If we made it back like this.

[lets_dewey_it]

Trust me, I think we're all angered out after the discussion about Kakuya. But also... This school made everyone do things we regret, killer or not.

[bellabellabella]

[He sighs gently at that, wistfulness and regret.]

Yes, I suppose.

[And then, because he'd asked before, a little awkwardly]

What did you want to ask me, by the way?

[He owed him something for having helped look after some of the more vulnerable students.]

[lets_dewey_it]

Well... usually, when I think of vampires, I think of Dracula, but you are decidedly not Dracula-like. What's vampirism like in your world, then? _{[He seems more interested in the differences between their worlds rather than "it must be super cool to be a vampire" now.]}
