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!

Niiiice. Well, if that's how it is, I'm not in any rush to get back to the UG and the Reaper's Game. What say we mingle, Neku?
["Meow!" says this tuxedo kitten that is Neku forever now, going back to see Touga is not in the cards.
This may confuse the new visitors, of course.]

[LOOKING AROUND???]

Why the confusion?

Oh... Sorry, I thought you meant the person.

[Tilting his head, thinking of the Neku he knows. I mean... he seemed pretty nice (swearing aside) and did almost figure out how to kill Alice, but...
(He does like Alice but you have to admit that was a pretty impressive attempt at the time!!)]
no subject
[Jeanne is in absolute ecstasy. Her new armored skirt clatters like the rim of a bell on the ground as she kneels and has her first kitten experience ever if Neku accepts it. Medium Shamash addresses Fret.]
What game?
no subject
[Neku is immediately going to find some hanging lace to bat around if there is indeed some to be found on her fancy new duds.
Fret's taken slightly aback at Shamash suddenly talking after those few days hanging around him in silence. Especially because his voice is like that. But he recovers!]
... It's this stupid game my other friends are trapped in. And at first it was just our teams against each other, but now it's the whole city that's at stake. I mean, at least it's not over and gone by now? I really worried that might have been the case!
[One might posit that Fret's inclination towards motives could have ultimately been offset by this presumed scenario of hopelessness.]
torture mention
[It is pretty easy for Neku to get her head caught inside the puffy sleeve looking for further puffiness. And also let's say a ribbon, there's totally a ribbon to keep the puffy sleeve ultimately anchored to the thin wrist. Jeanne puts a hand on the kitten's back but looks away to ask what the heck serving means.]
So the balance of power has been lost. Then I might not mind lending my strength. Those pins of yours are a lot like an Oversoul. And hot wax torture.
