TWO TALES END (Golden Ending)
Reunions and Meetings
It's a couple of hours since the end of the torment. The eternal game is over. A Little Brother, a little run ragged, runs around the Academy and the depot telling anyone who will listen that something is happening. The Queen, a friend of theirs, is visiting. She contacted the sheep while everyone was busy. They explain that she, along with a group of children, will be coming to the depot to meet everyone. She also can help get those who want to go elsewhere, get there. The Queen, it seems, found a way to open doors to other worlds and times. This could be helpful to get home as well as bringing old faces to the depot, if not Closetland itself.
It takes about an hour but eventually a golden door opens on the deck of the platform. A young girl in full petticoats dressed in blue stands before everyone. Even if her smile is nervous at the sight of so many new people she gives a quick curtsy. She shrinks back shyly as she speaks as a few other children come out of the door, too.
"I'm Queen Alice. The sheepies tried contacting my castle and told me what happened. I'm... very sorry about what must have happened. As my friends will tell you, you don't have to worry about the castle or her--uh, Nursery Rhyme--anymore. She's not a King anymore. I'm just a kid like everyone here, um. My friends helped me make this body so I'm sorry if it's a bit surprising. Um. I can help you get home if you'd like..."
Queen Alice goes onto explain that she can open doors to any world your character wants to go to. She can also gently pull other people through doors if needed. The sheep add that the teleporter to Closetland won't allow them to go there. The Academy is for students and staff only, after all!
The residents of the Castle seem nice enough, at least. Maybe now is the time for new friendships after shared two very long grueling experiences? Perhaps you just want to return to a safe place.
Two stories end quietly in the middle of a dark but calm ocean.
OOC
Welcome to the reunion post of Round One and Round Two. Players who played in either round only, please. You may play or NPC castmates of fellow characters if you'd like, though! Please no bringing in of Round Zero NPCs, please. They preferred not to come.
If your character has no place to return to or ever needs a place to rest, Alice will offer them a room at her Castle provided they behave themselves. Powers are on there unless trouble arises. She's a bit sensitive after being drafted into being a murdergame accomplice, after all.
We hope you enjoy yourselves and this will be the final post for round 2 of Castle Whimsical. Thank you, everyone!

School's out, Delightful Children!! WE'RE here now, and you're going to regret you ever wait a tick you kids don't look brainwashed in the least. This better not be a prank!!
no subject
What-?! What do you mean, "delightful children?!" Is this about that freaky Father guy?
no subject
[He holds whatever THIS letter is supposed to be up dramatically. Go on, read it. Then he'll continue.]
I figured if they wanted to see me so badly, I'd come along with my friends and kick their butts. The Galactic Kids Next Door thinks we can settle it ourselves, and that's fine. by. me.
Strange, though. Why do you only know about Father? Is he here as the King of Wrath after all?
[It seemed likely from the intel they had, but on the other hand: Not Brainwashed Kids]
no subject
Oh, uh... About that.
[ He scratches his head, how does he put this. ]
You see, he seemed to be keeping a bunch of Closetland monsters in these clear boxes, and one of them was a possessed doll that could do nothing but throw people into deadly "games..." And that doll managed to hijack the school and trap Father in a clear box of his own midway through our ordeal.
Long story short, we had to boss fight her to get out of this mess. And then we turned her into a fox because one of us fell in love with her and some of us wanted her dead.

[An adorable blue bat with a red slime monster perched on her us fluttering on over.]
It's okay. Everyone's safe now. I'm Adorabat! Who are you?
[She offers a wing for a handshake, staying flying using only one wing.]
no subject
[Nigel peers suspiciously up at this bat handshake! Looks like you're dealing with a paranoid one.]

no subject
We, uh, sort of were? For six months. Then...a lot of...other stuff, happened.
[Say hello to another talking dog, Nigel.]
no subject
Let me guess. You were goaded into killing each other?
no subject
Literally every Dalmatian that isn't Dylan that's paying attention lets out a gasp, and several of the ones that aren't distracted look to the ones that gasped, and suddenly there are a lot more eyes on him than he would like.]
I...um...
It's a...long story.
[Yes, the answer is yes.]
no subject
Why are you so surprised? Thought you're supposed to be a hivemind.
[very confusion, wow]
no subject
[A dirty, dirty pup is giving you a confused look, Nigel, and he's not the only one. Even Dylan is giving a 'What are you talking about' look.]
no subject
You're way past late to the party, though.
no subject
I think they already beat him.
