after vivarium!

It may have been weeks, months, or even years, but finally, everyone makes it out of the warehouse just fine. The authorities have broken in and let everyone out, or maybe the characters managed to escape on their own. Either way, Zero and Calhoun vanish without a trace and they still haven't been caught to this day. It's infuriating, but the important part is that they're now free. What exactly entrails after that ending though? How to Play: ✖ Make a top-level comment, either blank or filled with some info/prose. ✖ Tag others, whether it's shortly after the escape or much later. ✖ Action, text, video, whatever, it's all good. ✖ Have multiple threads? ✖ Done!

*There's no name on this text but it's easy to tell who it is.*

I do hope your family is treating you well. Clover said it's not too late for you to move to Seattle and change your last name to Averly.

[not_that_sasuke]

Thank you for the offer, but things have gotten better. [Read: he and Yuusuke still fight, but less potentially fatally.]

I don't think I'll be able to go to Seattle anytime soon, but do you think you'll visit Japan? I might be able to meet up with you then. [Y'know. If you aren't too busy with the boyfriend and all that.]

[blind_badass]

*Oh, well that was good. Because your family, Sasuke. One wonders.*

Well, Heiji wanted me to visit Osaka with him so I should probably try to visit all the other cities I can. *Eventually he'll most likely move to Japan so he might as well get acquainted with the place.*

[not_that_sasuke]

I'm closer to Tokyo. If Heiji doesn't mind, we could meet there.

[Since Heiji is Mr. Osakan Pride and all.]

[blind_badass]

That would be lovely. I do look forward to hearing your voice again.

[not_that_sasuke]

I'll try to look up some places to go in the meantime.

[He really needs to get used to the city at this rate... Not that he has a problem with it, but he just doesn't get to visit them all that often.]

[blind_badass]

I've been taking Japanese too, so I'll be able to converse with you that way. Although Heiji complains that I'm not learning "proper" Kansai Japanese.

[not_that_sasuke]

That sounds like Heiji. How long have you been studying now?

[blind_badass]

About two months after I got home. *Snake paused, wondering how to phrase his next question. You aren't being forced into doing work you'd rather not, are you?

[not_that_sasuke]

[It takes him a bit to reply, if partially in surprise.]

No. I've got a job, but it isn't that bad. It's just looking after people.

[...And making sure they aren't dangerous. But that's okay; it lets him keep an eye on Neko to keep her safe, too.]

[blind_badass]

As long as that's all it is. Then look after those people well.

[not_that_sasuke]

I will. They're important to me. Yuusuke's doing his job too, but sometimes he takes things too far.

[blind_badass]

Also, something I've been wanting to know. Do you have an actual cat now?

[not_that_sasuke]

Yes, I do. My cat Kurou stayed with my family the whole time I was gone; I've never seen him so affectionate before.

[That part made returning to his family far more bearable.]
