[Soon after all witches have been defeated, the fire begins to fade. The storms become more erratic and a metal keening cuts through them. It still takes some hours for it to die down, even if it's clear the event is on its way out.

Aelia sits on part of the broken wall of the Inner City, snake body draped along the edge, watching the sky. Soon the metal whine becomes a scream, a spear cutting through the air, impaling part of her body with a jolt. Aelia looks almost sad at it, but not pained or surprised, as she twists, reaching out a hand to touch it.]

Ah... confused again, are you?

[More weapons join it; as the sky clears, the dragon twitches with the force of each impact. Soon that part of her body is covered with them, but there's surprisingly little blood. Aelia pets the first lance a little, almost crooning to it.]

You're safe now. Rest a little while.


((OOC: Just to have some kind of concluding bit for the event! ♥ Please keep backtagging/logging for ALL OF THE TIMES. <3

Aelia will respond a little to notes, if anyone wants to talk to a coherent Animus for a bit. Next time will be back to mixed, obnoxious ramblings. :x

And as an extra note: Whenever Yuma, Kyoko, and Mami revive, they'll each have a personalized card from Aelia somewhere on their person, thanking them for being such good sports. Yuma's will have a little sketchy drawing of a kitten on it, Kyoko's will have a unicorn eating an apple, Mami's will have a teacup with a musket motif. Each also has a fresh orchid included with the note, if any are inclined to still use it.

Rei and Nat also each get a note thanking them for their assistance, to be found in their belongings a day or two after. Rei's includes a tiny attached bottle, with a bit of independently moving flame inside, and the comment, "To my Archer, a kindred spirit."

Nat gets a heavy book, full of diagrams and charts, detailing the structure and form of Ekpyrosis, as well as some information that doesn't seem connected to anything. It has the note, "To my Summoner, for your continued study. Please invite me again, sometime."))
