The event goers pack up their bags. None of them got killed, which is strange, as some of them swear they did......

The excitement of the raid left everyone in high spirits. Many phone numbers were exchanged and friendships were made.

"We may or we may not, son. We will see where the flock goes."

The church of the Lord falls apart. The bricks open up, turning into winged serpents who rise towards a great angel above. In minutes, no one would know that a church had ever laid on this land.

Somewhere else....

Larp had never left the site of the village. Even after mother's guards had turned it all into rubble.

She didn't know....if this was the right thing. She knew those people....
Through the crowd, one individual walks through the celebration, trotting over the rubble of the broken village with a somber expression on his face. He knows who he needs to find, and found they are. Cyb lays down at Larp's side, saying nothing at first, watching the dying smoke from the fires that Casserole had started. After a long while of silence, Cyb eventually speaks, his gaze still out towards the rubble.

"This place meant a lot to you, didn't it?"
"Do you ever feel......."
"...like you've been deleted from history?"
"All the time.......I just wanted to let them...live...if it can be called that."

"I....don't know how much life was in them. With enough time, perhaps they could have been helped. But the time for that has passed now. Whatever path we choose, whatever choices we make, are the path we have chosen, for the better or worse."

Cyb gently rubs his wound......no, it's not that. He knows that. His scar.
"But there is always a chance to learn from the path we are on. To do better than we have before. Believe me, I've made many mistakes in my life, and I still questions the actions I have taken, but I would not trade away my errors for a moment. We are but a recollection of the scars we carry, and those scars tell a tale both horrifying yet beautiful."
"That being said...there is one message the cat and his farmer wished to pass onto you, before the flames took them. Should you wish to hear it."

Larp just listens quietly to Cyb. Taking in everything.

She knew he was right, no matter how much she wanted to hold on.


"Sure, tell me, what's one more scar, aye?"
He nods, taking in a breath before speaking once more.

"Tell.....the kid I said goodbye."
"............................................................."
"Sometimes.......I think they didn't want to be trapped in there.....but that they wouldn't tell me for my sake because I wanted to keep them."
Larp pats Cyb.

"Thank you, that's all I needed to hear."

Cyb lets Larp pat him, returning the favor with a faint smile.

"Of course. Take care Larp, and may the Abyss watch over you."

With that, Cyb takes his leave, leaving the notail to grieve among the rubble.
Larp's wife and legal advisor approaches her, and places a hand on her shoulder.


"You did the right thing. I'm sorry for your lost, dear."
"I was making you, the other hohuns, and them suffer. I don't think they wanted to be stuck in there anymore."
"It's ok. If you had known I know you would have stopped it before. This could have gone better, but not everything is perfect, and it's better that way. We all make mistakes."
"I....I feel like I knew on some level......"

Larp's wife squeezes her hand.

"But you didn't want to believe in it. I understand."

They both sit in silence for a time that never seems to end until Larp gets up, and moves her face back on.

"So what are you going to do now? >w<"
Tsk. Honey I'm coming with you. You realized and did the right thing in the end, that's all I wanted."
"Plus, without a lawyer you would get sued 5 seconds after leaving orbit. <:>"

Larp hugs her wife.

"Pffhahahahaha!!! Yeah that's right, and it'd be horrible if I managed to lose all this money after we got those investors! >w<"
Let's commit some xenocapitalism!!!!!!!
