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!

[ Valmont lingers in front of the door back to his world, talisman clenched firmly in his hand to ward off any thieves (not naming names, Dylan). Despite his words, he doesn't actually look all that eager to head out. The door stands open to a big, fancy, empty house. No one has come through to greet him.
He glances back at the others, and doesn't move. ]
no subject
[That house looks like no one's there.]
no subject
What - why shouldn't I?
[ Give him a reason...? ]
no subject
That place you're going to looks awfully empty. No one to check that you're ok and stuff. Especially after what's happened.
I'd think everyone deserves that much, yeah?
no subject
[ He glances again back through the door. The house is quiet. ]
Besides, I... I don't suppose you have any better ideas.
no subject
[ Hunter always thought Valmont was kind of a snob (considering his own previous living status that's saying something) but the sight of a luxurious house with no friends or family that care about you really hit him somewhere. ]
At least you don't have crazy relatives dragging you into illegal plots.
no subject
[ Valmont has no idea what you're talking about! He has a perfectly fulfilling life being lonely and rich all the time!!! ]
Ah, yes, I suppose that would be a disadvantage.
[ He wouldn't know. Too busy carrying out his own illegal plots, tbh. ]
Er. Should you ever wish to take refuge elsewhere for a time...
[ He gestures awkwardly toward the open door. Is he... offering to host a sleepover? No, but also, if Hunter's interested, absolutely. ]
no subject
A bit sus, but eh. ]
I've got a place to stay, but if it's possible I wouldn't mind coming over to visit every now and then.
[ Smile. ]
no subject
Well? Don't stand there like a fool. Are you going or aren't you?
no subject
Who are you calling a fool?!
[ hella ignores the rest of her question! ]
no subject
[Franziska that's not nice.]
no subject
Hi! Hi! What's your name? Are you from Sjandra Kei??
[Oh yeah btw Valmont there are eight weird dog critters running all around your legs, have fun with that.]
no subject
[Jeanne is still a bit blank, still overwhelmed, but she wants there to be time for him. Niles.]
Perhaps it is for the best that you have become my dear friend. I think it might be a little more difficult to get permission for a girlfriend to have a sleepover.
