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.

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.

[He finds him, eventually, but hesitates when he sees him again. He'd... They'd seen each other before, after the fight and the rescue, but it seemed different, somehow, than just meeting each other in the hallways, and Edward hesitates, not sure if he should approach.]

[Oh, uh.]

Hey Ed.

[He knows it's Edward, but. Still. It's a small reminder that something did break between them, something that wasn't just going to instantly heal just because things were resolved.

Still. Not talking to him was dumb.]

[He lets out a little half breath of laughter at that, not in amusement but rather in understanding.]

I suppose I deserve that.

[canreallymove]

Yeah, no offense, man, but...yeah. After everything-

[There's no point in beating a dead horse, but.]

...man, I dunno. I can't hate you, and I don't. But you're gonna be Ed for awhile.

[Maybe forever, maybe not.]

And you gotta help make sure something like this never happens again.

[He shrugs at that, a lingering trace of self-deprecating humor in his expression, and the movement.]

Everyone's been much more generous than I deserve. But... yes. I... It can't happen again. Any of it. That's.... It's why it was so important to me that Kakuya's powers were stripped.

And....

I know this is worse than useless, and I'm not here to ask forgiveness, but I am sorry. For what I did, and for deceiving you in all the ways I did.
